GeoAttend Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

GeoAttend is a GPS-based smart attendance solution, designed to simplify and modernize attendance management for today's workforce. It is a product of LYFE, developed by Zedandzed IT Services Ltd. This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information. Use of our app indicates consent to this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Location Data:

• We collect location data (latitude and longitude) when user mark "Attendance IN or OUT" through the app.
• We do not collect location when user not actively marking attendance.
• Includes GPS, network, or sensor-based location information. This supports accurate presence verification.

2.2 Account Information:

• When registering, we collect name, email, company name, and optional user ID for authentication and record keeping.

2.3 Device & Usage Data:

• May include device model, OS version, IP address, and anonymized usage logs to improve app stability and performance.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the core service of location-based attendance validation.
• To authenticate your identity and manage your account.
• To monitor and improve app performance, detect technical issues, and enhance usability.
• To notify you about updates, changes, or support messages (when consented).

4. Disclosure of Information

• Third Party Service Providers: We may share data with trusted subprocessors who help deliver our service (e.g. cloud hosting, analytics), under strict confidentiality.
• Legal & Regulatory Compliance: Disclosed only if required by law (e.g. valid court order).
• Business Transfers: In case of merger or asset sale, user data may be transferred, under equivalent privacy protections.
• We do not sell or rent your personal data to advertisers or other external parties.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

• Location and attendance data are retained only as long as necessary for service provision.
• Upon deactivation of your account, data is securely deleted according to organization policies and legal requirements.
• Logs and device data may be retained temporarily for analysis and diagnostic purposes, then purged.

6. Security Measures

• We implement encryption, access controls, and other technical safeguards to protect your data.
• Regular security audits help prevent unauthorized access or breaches.
• While we strive for strong protection, no system can guarantee absolute security.

7. User Controls & Rights

• Consent: You may decline location permission—though doing so may disable app functionality.
• Access & Correction: You can request access to your stored data and request corrections.
• Deletion: You may request permanent deletion of your personal data after account deactivation, subject to legal retention requirements.
• Withdraw Consent: You’re free to revoke permissions at any time via device settings.

8. Children’s Privacy

GeoAttend is not intended for use by children under 13 (or local equivalent). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If discovered, such data will be promptly deleted.

9. Policy Updates

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy. Material changes will be announced within the app or via email. Continued use after updates implies acceptance. The date at the top reflects the latest revision.
