Privacy Policy for HRJee HRMS

At HRJee, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how the HRJee HRMS (Human Resource Management System) software collects, uses, and safeguards data from employees during its use.

This includes access to mobile location, camera, gallery, and live GPS tracking during working hours. By using our HRMS software, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Our HRMS software may request access to the following data types to enhance service quality and improve employee management functionalities:

• Mobile Location: Track your location during working hours for attendance monitoring, compliance, and field staff management.
• Camera: Facilitate profile picture updates, document verification, and other authorized tasks.
• Gallery: Enable image uploads for work-related activities, such as receipts, official documents, or other visual content.
• Live GPS Tracking: Monitor field employees during working hours to manage tasks, verify visits, and optimize routes.

Location Tracking Specifics

• Why: To track task progress and ensure accountability.
• When: Data is collected when the app is running in the foreground or background during working hours. Tracking stops when you log out or disable location services.
• HRJee collects your device's location data to enable attendance marking and field visit tracking features. Location data is collected only when you enable Location Tracking from the app menu. This data is shared exclusively with your employer/company through our HR management system and is not shared with any third party. You can disable location tracking at any time from the app's side menu.
• How: Used internally for task allocation, monitoring, and reporting. We do not share location data with third parties for marketing or unrelated purposes.

2. Use of Face Data (Facial Recognition)

Purpose of Face Data Collection

Facial recognition is used only for employee attendance verification. This ensures accurate and secure attendance tracking within our HRMS (Facenex).

What Data We Collect

• Facial Images: Captured at the time of attendance punch-in.
• Facial Templates: Unique mathematical representation generated from the image using AWS Rekognition.

Processing & Storage

• Facial images are processed to generate templates for one-time matching.
• Both images and templates are encrypted and stored securely in AWS S3 buckets.
• Data is not shared with third parties except AWS, which provides cloud infrastructure under strict compliance standards.

Retention & Deletion Policy

• Face data is retained for up to 365/366 days to fulfill HR reporting requirements.
• Data is automatically deleted after this period.
• Employees may request immediate deletion of their face data by contacting HR.
• If employees wish to continue after deletion, they must re-register their face data.

Consent & Control

• Explicit employee consent is required before enabling facial recognition.
• Employees may opt out at any time and use alternative attendance methods (e.g., web panel or other company-approved systems).

Security Measures

• All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
• Access is restricted to authorized HR administrators only.
• AWS infrastructure meets global privacy and security standards (ISO, SOC, GDPR-ready).
• Regular security audits and monitoring are performed.

Data Usage Restrictions

• Not used for marketing, profiling, surveillance, or tracking outside of attendance.
• Not shared or sold to third parties.
• Not used for advertising or behavioral analysis.

3. Push Notifications

Purpose: Notify employees about task assignments, updates, and other work-related alerts.
Usage: Notifications are work-related and may appear even when the app is in the background. Notification preferences can be managed through device settings.

4. Purpose of Data Collection

We collect data for the following purposes:

• Attendance and Compliance: Accurate attendance tracking, especially for field employees.
