We will never keep this data for longer than 3 years.  To the extent that an employee has questions about our Customers’ or Resellers’ collection or use of biometric data and their use and protection of such data, the employee should consult with their employer or the Reseller directly. Such data collection and use will be governed by employer or Reseller’s privacy.  \t Securing Your Personal Information   Swipeclock takes the security of your Personal Information very seriously and we have implemented reasonable technical, physical, and organizational security safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access and disclosure.  We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks.  However, no electronic data transmission or storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.  If we have given you (or you have chosen) a password to access certain areas of our websites, applications, or services, please keep this password safe—we will not share this password with anyone. In the event that Personal Information is compromised due to a breach of security, Swipeclock will promptly notify the affected individuals in compliance with applicable law.  \t Your Rights and Choices Regarding Your Personal Information   Based upon where you reside, certain choices and rights with regards to your Personal Information may be available to you.

Residents of California  Under the California Consumer Protection Act of 2018, as amended, (the “CCPA”), residents in the State of California are provided with specific rights regarding the collection and storage of their personal information.  You may find a copy of this Privacy Policy in PDF format .  You have the right to request that we provide to you the following information about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve (12) months. Once your verifiable consumer request has been confirmed, we will disclose to you:  \tThe categories of personal information we have collected about you. \tThe categories of sources for the personal information we have collected about you (e.g., use of cookies, third party, etc.). \tOur business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information. \tThe categories of third parties with whom we share or have shared that personal information. \tThe specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request). \tIf we have not sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, we will disclose this fact.

CCPA Deletion Request Rights  You have the right to request that we delete any of the Personal Information collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions.

Your request to delete the Personal Information collected may be denied if it is necessary for us to retain your information under one or more exceptions listed in the CCPA.  Exercising Your Rights   To exercise any of the rights described above, please email us at privacy@swipeclock.com.  Please note that Consumers have a right to not receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of their rights under the CCPA.  Verifying Your Request  Only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information. You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child. In all cases, your request must be verified before we take action (and shall take such action pursuant to the timing permitted under the CCPA). Verifying your request may require you to:  \tProvide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information, or a person authorized to act on your behalf; and \tDescribe your request with sufficient detail to properly understand and respond to it.  We will only use the personal information that you have provided in a verifiable request in order to verify your request. As stated above, we cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority.  Making a verifiable request does not require you to create an account with us. We consider a request made through your password-protected account sufficiently “verified” when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account and you have complied with any of our existing authentication practices.  Response Timing and Format   We aim to respond to customer requests within forty-five (45) days of receipt. If we are unable to deliver a response to verifiable consumer requests within this timeframe, we will inform you of the reason and estimated extension period in writing. We will deliver a response to your existing account with us, if applicable, or a written response by mail or electronically, at your option.  Any disclosures will cover only the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. Data portability requests will be issued in a format that is readily useable, we do not charge a fee unless your request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If the request warrants a reasonable fee, we will tell you why and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.  Fees  Please note that we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on a request if such request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  \t Children  Our Sites are not directed to children under 13.  We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose Personal Information from anyone under 13 years of age.  If we determine upon collection that a user is under this age, we will not use or maintain his/her Personal Information without the parent/guardian’s consent.  If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 13, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records.  \t Changes to Our Global Privacy Policy  From time to time, we may change this Global Privacy Policy to accommodate new technologies, industry practices, regulatory requirements, or for other purposes.  We will provide notice to you by email and/or prominently display an alert on our webpages if these changes are material.  Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent.  If you object to any changes, you may close your account.  You acknowledge that your continued use of our websites after we publish or send a notice about our changes to this Global Privacy Policy means that the collection, use, and sharing of your Personal Information is subject to the updated Global Privacy Policy.  \t Contact Information &amp; How to Update Your Personal Information   If you have a comment or question about this Global Privacy Policy, our privacy practices, or you would like to exercise any of your rights as outlined in this policy, please send an email to privacy@swipeclock.com or write us at:  Swipeclock  10644 S.

Your employer, or a corresponding Reseller—i.e., if your employer purchased, acquired, or otherwise obtained Swipeclock products from a Reseller—may also collect Information from you, including Personal Information that is not shared with Swipeclock. Resellers may also utilize a mobile application to capture some of this Information.

Please contact your employer and, if applicable, corresponding Reseller, for additional information on the categories and specific instances of Personal Information that they collect, and refer to their privacy policies for additional information on how your Personal Information is collected, maintained, and shared, by them, as applicable.
