snoopware
Secret monitoring program
Snoopware is software designed to secretly monitor a user's activity—tracking keystrokes, browsing history, messages, or location without their knowledge.
The term emphasizes the invasive, covert nature of such programs: Her ex had installed snoopware on her phone.
Often used interchangeably with spyware, though snoopware sometimes implies surveillance by someone personally known to the target rather than anonymous hackers.
