Information We Collect from HR System Attendance APP
1. What face data does the app collect?
The HR system attendance app collects facial recognition data, which includes facial landmarks and mathematical representations of facial features. This data is used solely for the purpose of verifying employee identity during the attendance process.
2. Provide a complete and clear explanation of all planned uses of the collected face data.
The collected face data is exclusively used for employee attendance verification. This ensures that employees are correctly identified and authenticated when marking their attendance. The facial data is processed in real-time and used to match against the stored biometric template for the purpose of confirming the identity of the user. The app does not use this data for any other purposes such as marketing, analysis, or profiling.
3. Will the face data be shared with any third parties? Where will this information be stored?
No, the face data will not be shared with any third parties. The face data is securely stored in encrypted form within the app’s internal database, which is hosted on secure servers in compliance with applicable data protection regulations. Access to this data is strictly limited to authorized personnel who are responsible for maintaining the system’s functionality.
4. How long will face data be retained?
Face data will be retained only as long as an employee remains associated with the organization and requires access to the attendance system. Once an employee leaves the organization or no longer requires access, their facial data will be securely deleted from the system within [insert time frame, e.g., 30 days]. Additionally, users can request the deletion of their face data at any time, and such requests will be promptly processed.
5. Where in the privacy policy is the app’s collection, use, disclosure, sharing, and retention of face data explained? Identify the specific sections in the privacy policy where this information is located.
The collection, use, disclosure, sharing, and retention of face data are explained in the “Biometric Data Collection and Use” section of our privacy policy. This section provides detailed information on how face data is handled within the app.
