Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 06, 2026
ClockGain is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.
1. Information We Collect
Data You Provide:
- Work hours (clock-in and clock-out times)
- Salary information (hourly rate, deductions)
- Personal settings (name, company name, profile photo – optional)
- Expense records and shopping lists
- Authentication data (email, password, or Google account)
- Subscription and purchase information (for Premium users)
- Punch proof data (optional): photo and/or location (GPS) captured when you clock in or out, if you enable these features in settings
Data Collected Automatically:
- Device information (device model, operating system)
- Crash reports via Firebase Crashlytics (to fix bugs and improve stability)
- Ad interaction data (impressions and clicks collected by Google AdMob)
- Advertising ID (AD_ID) for personalized or non-personalized ads
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data to:
- Calculate and display your work hours and earnings
- Generate payslips and reports
- Send clock-in and clock-out reminders (if enabled)
- Store optional punch proofs (photo and/or location) linked to your clock-in/out records, when you enable these features
- Improve app performance and user experience
- Provide customer support
Punch photo and location are optional. You can turn them on or off at any time in the app settings. Location is collected only while the app is in use during a punch action (not continuously in the background for tracking).
3. Data Storage
Free users: Work data is stored locally on your device. Optional punch proofs (photo/location) are also stored on your device when enabled. We do not have access to Free-user local data that is not synced.
Premium users: Your data is securely synchronized and stored in the cloud using Supabase, allowing backup and multi-device access. This may include optional punch proofs (photo metadata/files and location coordinates) when those features are enabled and sync is available.
You can delete your cloud data at any time by deleting your account through:
Menu → Account Settings → Delete Account.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
However, we use trusted service providers:
- Google (Firebase Crashlytics, AdMob)
- Supabase (cloud database and storage for Premium users)
- Google Play Billing (subscription processing)
- Google Sign-In (authentication)
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.

ClockGain may request the following permissions:
- Notifications: to send clock-in and clock-out reminders
- Camera: optional — to take a photo as punch proof when clocking in/out (selfie or time-card photo), and optionally for your profile picture. The app does not require access to your full photo gallery to provide punch proof
- Location (approximate and/or precise): optional — to record GPS coordinates as punch proof when clocking in/out. Used only for this feature when enabled; not for advertising
- Biometric authentication: for app security (optional)
