Edubricz Staff App Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Depending on the features you use and the permissions you grant, the Application may collect the following information:

1.1 Location Information

The Application may collect precise or approximate location information from your device.

The Application may collect location information when the app is in use and, where required for supported functionality, when the app is running in the background, including when the app is closed or not actively being used.

Background location access is used only for functionality that requires location information to support the core staff-related features of the Application.

Location information may be used for:

• Attendance and attendance verification.
• Staff location or activity verification.
• Work-related location tracking where enabled by the organization.
• Verification of location associated with staff activities or work assignments.
• Providing and maintaining location-dependent features of the Application.
• Security, fraud prevention, and protection of the Application.

The Application does not use location information for advertising purposes.

We do not sell your location information.

You can manage or revoke location permissions through your Android device settings. If you deny or disable location access, features that require location information may not function correctly.

1.2 Account and Staff Information

Depending on how the Application is configured by your organization, we may collect information such as:

• Name
• Employee or staff identification information
• Contact information
• Organization or institution information
• Login credentials or authentication information
• Attendance and work-related information

This information is used to authenticate users and provide the staff-related services available through the Application.

1.3 Device and Technical Information

The Application may automatically receive certain technical information required to operate and secure the Service, such as:

• Device type and model
• Operating system and version
• Application version
• Device identifiers where required for application functionality
• IP address
• Crash, diagnostic, and performance information

This information may be used to maintain application security, troubleshoot technical problems, improve performance, and maintain the reliability of the Application.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use collected information to:

• Provide and operate the Edubricz Staff App.
• Authenticate and manage user accounts.
• Provide attendance and staff-management functionality.
• Verify work-related activities where applicable.
• Provide location-dependent functionality.
• Maintain application security.
• Detect and prevent unauthorized access, misuse, or fraud.
• Diagnose technical problems and improve application performance.
• Maintain and improve the functionality and reliability of the Service.
• Comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We do not use background location information for advertising or targeted advertising.

3. Background Location Access

Some features of the Edubricz Staff App may require access to location information while the Application is not actively being used.

When background location access is required, the Application will provide a prominent disclosure explaining that the Application collects location information in the background and explaining the relevant functionality before requesting the applicable Android location permission.

Background location access is requested only when it is necessary for the relevant functionality of the Application.

You may refuse or revoke location permission through your device settings. Revoking the permission may affect features that depend on location information.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information or location information.

Information collected through the Application may be accessed by authorized personnel of the organization using the Edubricz Staff App where necessary to provide staff-management, attendance, work-related, or other authorized functionality.

We may also use service providers that process information on our behalf when necessary to operate, maintain, secure, or support the Application.

We may disclose information when required to do so by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, and property of the Company, our users, or others.

We do not share location information with third parties for advertising purposes.

5. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Application and its features, maintain business and operational records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the security of the Service.

The retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

When information is no longer required, we may delete or securely dispose of it in accordance with our applicable data-retention practices and legal obligations.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.

However, no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, while we take reasonable steps to protect information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Privacy Choices

You may control certain permissions through your device settings.

For example, you may:

• Allow or deny location access.
• Change location permissions after granting them.
• Disable background location access where supported by your device.
• Review application permissions through Android settings.

If you disable a permission required by a particular feature, that feature may no longer function correctly.

8. Children's Privacy

The Edubricz Staff App is intended for use by authorized staff members and is not directed toward children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for purposes unrelated to the intended staff functionality of the Application.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

The Application may use third-party services or contain links to third-party websites or services.

Third-party services may have their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of those services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services that we do not control.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Application, our data practices, or applicable legal requirements.

When we make material changes, we may provide appropriate notice through the Application or other appropriate means.

The "Last updated" date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy indicates when this Privacy Policy was most recently updated.
