Privacy Policy – CountHR - Attendance & Location App

Effective Date: April 1, 2026

CountHR ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how CountHR collects, uses, stores, and protects your information when you use the CountHR mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

Location Information
CountHR collects precise location information to enable attendance marking, location verification, duty tracking, and generating attendance reports.
Background Location
When an employee is on duty and location tracking is enabled, the app may collect location data even when the app is closed or not actively in use. Background location collection is used solely to provide continuous attendance and employee movement tracking during working hours.
Device Information
We may collect device-related information such as device model, operating system version, application version, and device identifiers for troubleshooting and improving service quality.
Attendance and Usage Data
We collect check-in and check-out times, attendance records, and application usage information required to provide attendance management services.

2. Why We Collect Your Information

Your information is used for the following purposes:

Mark and verify employee attendance.
Provide location-based attendance services.
Track employee movements during duty hours.
Generate attendance reports and payroll information.
Allow employees to view salary slips and payroll details.
Improve app performance and provide technical support.
Maintain security and prevent misuse of attendance records.

3. Background Location Usage

CountHR accesses background location only when necessary for attendance and employee duty tracking. Location tracking is performed only during working hours or when the employee has started duty. A persistent notification is displayed while location tracking is active.

Users can stop location tracking by ending their duty or by disabling location permissions from device settings.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell or share personal information with third parties for advertising purposes.

Your information may be shared only:

With authorized employers or administrators responsible for attendance management.
With service providers assisting in operating the application.
When required by applicable law or legal processes.

5. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Access to employee information is restricted to authorized personnel only.

6. User Consent and Permissions

CountHR requests permissions before accessing location or other personal information. Users may deny or revoke permissions at any time through their device settings.

If location permissions are denied, certain attendance-related features may not function properly.

7. User Rights

Users may:

Access and update their personal information.
Request deletion of their account or associated data.
Withdraw previously granted permissions.
Stop location tracking by ending duty or changing device settings.
Contact us regarding privacy-related concerns.

8. Data Retention

Attendance records and related information are retained only for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, and support payroll and reporting requirements.

9. Children's Privacy

CountHR is intended for use by employees and organizations and is not directed toward children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
