Clockee Privacy Policy
Toshihiro.nakao ("we", "us") has established this Privacy Policy to explain how the iOS / iPadOS app "Clockee" (the "App") handles your information.
1. Our Approach
The App keeps time-and-attendance records and related data on your own device. We do not collect your information through the App.
- The App does not send any information to our servers.
- There is no sign-up or login.
- The App does not show ads, analyze usage, or track you.
- The App does not include third-party SDKs (such as advertising, analytics, or crash reporting).
2. Information the App Handles
The App stores the following information that you enter on your device, and uses it to record attendance, calculate totals, and create reports.
- Employee details: name, employee number, department, team, group, location, hire and leaving dates, hourly wage, scheduled working days and hours per week, and a photo (if you add one)
- Attendance records: clock-in, clock-out, and break times, notes, and edit history
- Paid leave records: grants, days taken, and the status of requests and approvals
- Shifts: schedules, roles, shift requests and their approval status, and designated statutory holidays
- Settings: closing day, breaks, premium pay rates, and other settings
- The administrator PIN, employee PINs, and the answer to the PIN recovery question (the answer is not stored as entered; it is stored in a form that cannot be turned back into the original text)
- When you delete an attendance or paid leave record, the content before deletion and the reason (kept only on that device)
About employee information
In the App, the business (you, the user) enters personal information about its employees. This information is not sent to us. The business is responsible for handling employee information in accordance with applicable laws, including informing employees and obtaining their consent where required.
3. Where Your Data Is Stored
- The App's data is stored on your device.
- The administrator PIN, employee PINs, and the PIN recovery answer are stored in the device's keychain. If iCloud Keychain is turned on, they are synced across devices signed in to the same Apple Account.
- Only if you purchase the "Cloud Sync" in-app purchase and turn it on in Settings, the data is also stored in the private area of your iCloud account and synced across devices signed in to the same Apple Account. This area belongs to you, and we cannot access its contents.
- Backups and CSV / PDF exports are created only when you choose to, and are handed to the destination or sharing option you select.
- Deleting the App deletes the data on the device. Information in the keychain, and data saved to iCloud through Cloud Sync, may remain after the App is deleted.
4. Access to Device Features
- Photos: To add an employee's photo, the App uses the system photo picker. The App reads only the photos you choose and does not ask for access to your whole photo library. All features are available without adding photos.
- Notifications: Only when Cloud Sync is on, the App receives silent notifications that are not shown on screen, so it can pick up changes made on your other devices. The App does not send notifications that are displayed to you.
The App does not request access to your location, camera, microphone, or contacts.
5. In-App Purchases
The App's in-app purchases (Premium Plan, Shift Premium, and Cloud Sync) are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never receive your payment information, such as credit card numbers. The App checks your App Store purchase status on the device to confirm what you have purchased.
6. Sharing With Third Parties
Because we do not collect your information through the App, we do not share it with third parties, except where disclosure is required by law.
7. Deleting Your Data
- You can delete all data from the App's Settings. If you forget the administrator PIN, you can also erase the data on that device by resetting the App.
- Attendance records, paid leave records, and employees can be deleted from their editing screens.
- Deleting the App deletes the data on the device.
8. Children
The App is a time-and-attendance tool for businesses and is not directed to children under 13.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy as needed. The updated Policy takes effect when it is posted on this page.
10. Information We Receive When You Contact Us
Inquiries through our support page are received using Google Forms (Google LLC). The information you enter when contacting us (such as your name, email address, and the content of your inquiry) is used only to respond to you and to improve the App. We do not share it with third parties, except where required by law, and we delete it when it is no longer needed. Google's Privacy Policy also applies to your use of Google Forms.
