Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Shift Tracker ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our employee attendance and time tracking app.

2. Information We Collect

• Personal Information: Name, email address, and other contact details provided by your employer or during registration.
• Location Information: We collect location data in the background to verify employee presence at job sites during clock-in and clock-out. Location data is only collected when attendance tracking is enabled.
• Usage Data: Information about your use of the app, such as device type, operating system, and usage times.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Record and verify employee attendance and working hours.
• Ensure employees are at authorized locations during clock-in and clock-out.
• Provide timesheet and attendance reports to employers.
• Improve app functionality and user experience.
• Comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

4. Location Data Usage

• Why: Background location is used solely to confirm that employees are at the correct location when marking attendance, even when the app is not open.
• How: Location is only recorded during clock-in/out events and, if configured by your employer, periodically to ensure compliance with attendance policies.
• Control: Users can disable location permissions, but this will limit or disable attendance features.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

• We do not sell or share your personal or location data with third parties except:
  • With your employer (for attendance and payroll records)
  • When required by law
  • With service providers who help us operate the app (under confidentiality agreements)

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encryption, secure servers, and restricted access.

7. Your Rights

• You may request to access, correct, or delete your data by contacting your employer or [contact email].
• You can revoke location permissions at any time in your device settings.

8. Children's Privacy

Our app is intended for use by employees and is not directed to children under 16.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. Any changes will be posted on this page with the updated effective date.
