Worko HR Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Worko HR application collects, uses, processes, and protects users’ personal data. By using the application, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

1. Data Collection

We collect only the data necessary to provide the core functionality of the application:

1.1 Location Data

Used to determine whether an employee is within the designated workplace geofence in order to confirm arrival and departure.

1.2 Biometric Data (Facial Data)

Used to verify the identity of the user through facial recognition technology during check-in and check-out.

2. Purpose of Data Usage

The collected data is used strictly for the following purposes:

• Confirming employee check-in and check-out;

• Ensuring that only authorized employees can mark attendance;

• Generating reports and managing work schedules;

• Verifying user identity through biometric matching.

3. Processing of Biometric Data

3.1 Facial Data Collection

• When a user attempts to check in or out, the device’s front camera is activated;

• A photo of the user is captured;

• Image capture occurs only if the user is within the authorized workplace geofence.

3.2 Data Usage

• The captured image is transmitted to the server in encrypted form;

• A one-time verification is performed by comparing the image with previously registered biometric data;

• The result is recorded as either successful or unsuccessful verification.

3.3 Data Retention

• Biometric data is not stored permanently;

• The captured image is retained for no longer than 10 minutes, solely for verification purposes;

• After verification is complete, the image is automatically and permanently deleted;

• Images are not reused or stored for future purposes.

Exceptions may apply only where required by law.

3.4 Reason for Temporary Storage

Temporary storage is necessary to ensure proper functioning of facial recognition algorithms, including handling potential network delays. The retention period (up to 10 minutes) is technically justified and limited to the minimum required.

3.5 Sharing with Third Parties

• Biometric data is not shared, sold, or transferred to third parties;

• All processing is performed exclusively on company servers;

• No external services or contractors have access to facial data.

3.6 Third-Party Storage

No third parties store biometric data on behalf of Worko HR. All data is processed in real time and deleted immediately after use.

4. User Consent

By using the check-in and check-out features, the user explicitly consents to:

• The collection and temporary processing of facial images;

• The use of location data at the time of attendance marking;

• The secure transmission of this data to the server for identity verification and attendance tracking.

Users may withdraw consent at any time by disabling camera or location permissions in their device settings. In such cases, attendance features will not be available.

5. Data Protection

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your data:

• Data is transmitted using secure protocols (e.g., HTTPS, TLS);

• Location data is collected only at the time of attendance and is not used for continuous tracking;

• Biometric data is not stored and is deleted immediately after verification (except where required by law).

6. Sharing of Personal Data

Personal data may be shared with third parties only in the following cases:

• When required by law or governmental authorities;

• To protect the company’s legal rights, interests, or safety;

• With the user’s explicit consent.
