Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how the OnboardReady/ClockReady platform ("Platform," "we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our workforce management services.
This Policy applies to:
- Tenant administrators and authorized users ("Admins")
- Workers whose information is entered into the Platform by Tenants
- Visitors to our public-facing pages
2. Our Role in Data Processing
2.1 Tenants as Data Controllers
For data entered by Tenants about their workforce:
- The Tenant is the data controller and determines what personal data is collected and how it is used
- We act as a data processor/service provider, processing data on behalf of Tenants according to their instructions
If you are a Worker with questions about how your personal data is handled, please contact your employer (the Tenant) directly.
2.2 Direct Relationships
For data we collect directly (such as Tenant Admin registration), we act as the data controller.
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Tenant Account Information
When Tenants register, we collect:
- Business name and contact information
- Admin names and email addresses
- Billing and payment information
- Account credentials
3.2 Worker Information (Collected by Tenants)
Tenants may enter information about Workers, including:
- Names and contact information
- Work schedules and time records
- Job assignments and locations
- Profile photos
- Documents and files (including onboarding documents, certificates, invoices, offer letters, and signed agreements)
- Communication history within the Platform
- Kiosk PIN data for shared device clock-in/out (stored as cryptographic hashes, not plaintext)
3.3 Usage Information
We automatically collect:
- Device information (type, operating system, browser)
- IP addresses
- Access times and usage patterns
- Feature usage and interactions
- Error logs and performance data
- Permission and role change records (who changed what permissions, when, and the before/after states)
- Document access records (who accessed or downloaded which documents, when, and from where)
3.4 Location Information
With appropriate permissions:
- GPS location for time clock and geofencing features
- Location data for job site management
4. How We Use Information

5. Information Sharing
5.1 Service Providers and Subprocessors
We share information with service providers who help us operate the Platform:
| Provider | Purpose | Data Processed |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database and storage | All Platform data |
| Amazon Web Services (AWS) | Encrypted backup storage (Canada) | Database backups, uploaded files and documents |
| Google Maps Platform | Location and mapping services | Addresses, coordinates |
| Stripe | Payment processing | Billing information |
| Twilio | SMS notifications | Phone numbers, messages |
| Resend | Email delivery | Email addresses, content |
| OpenAI | AI features | Content submitted to AI features |
| Firebase | Push notifications | Device tokens, notification content |
5.1.1 Tenant-Initiated Third-Party Integrations
Tenants may choose to connect external services through the Platform's Integrations settings. When a Tenant enables a third-party integration, data is shared with that service as necessary to fulfill the integration's purpose:
| Integration | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Intuit QuickBooks Online | Payroll and time tracking export | Worker names, approved timesheet hours, work dates, job descriptions |
When a Tenant connects QuickBooks Online:
- We use Intuit's OAuth 2.0 authorization to establish a secure connection on the Tenant's behalf
- Only approved timesheet data that the Tenant explicitly exports is sent to QuickBooks
- Data is transmitted securely via Intuit's API using encrypted connections
- The Tenant may disconnect the integration at any time, which stops all data sharing with QuickBooks
- We store OAuth tokens securely and use them solely to facilitate the Tenant's requested exports
- We do not access, read, or use any data from the Tenant's QuickBooks account beyond what is necessary to complete the export
Tenants are responsible for ensuring that their use of integrations complies with applicable laws, including obtaining any necessary consent from Workers whose data may be shared with third-party services.
5.2 Legal Requirements
We may disclose information when required by law, legal process, or government request.
5.3 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale, information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.
5.4 With Tenant Consent
We may share information with Tenant permission for integrations or services requested by the Tenant.
6. Data Retention
6.1 Active Accounts
We retain data while Tenant accounts are active and as needed to provide services.
6.2 Specific Retention Periods
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Active account data | Duration of subscription |
| Uploaded documents and files | Duration of subscription + 30 days post-termination |
| Document access audit logs | 90 days (automatically purged) |
| Permission and role change audit logs | Duration of subscription (immutable, not deletable) |
| Archived records (soft-deleted) | 7 days before permanent deletion |
| Timesheet and attendance records | Duration of subscription (exportable) |
| Communication messages | Duration of subscription |
| Session and device security logs | 90 days |
| Billing and payment records | As required by applicable tax and financial regulations |
6.3 After Termination
Following account termination, we retain data for a reasonable period (typically 30 days) to allow for data export. Upon written request, we will delete Tenant data within 30 days of termination, except where retention is required by applicable law. Upon completion of deletion, we will provide written confirmation of data destruction upon request. Data may be retained longer for:
- Legal compliance requirements
- Dispute resolution
- Aggregated analytics (de-identified)
6.4 Backups
We maintain automated backups of all Platform data, including the database and all uploaded files and documents, for disaster recovery and business continuity purposes. Backups are:
- Performed multiple times daily on an automated schedule
- Stored in encrypted form (AES-256 encryption at rest) on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure located in Canada (Montreal, ca-central-1) to maintain compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
- Retained for 30 days, after which they are automatically and permanently deleted
- Accessible only to authorized Platform personnel for disaster recovery purposes
Residual copies in encrypted backups will be overwritten in the normal course of backup rotation.
6.5 Data Processing Agreement
The data processing obligations, sub-processor disclosures, and audit rights applicable to our handling of Tenant data are set forth in Section 5.7 of our Terms of Service. Tenants requiring a separately executed Data Processing Agreement (DPA) may contact us to discuss their specific requirements.
7. Data Security
7.1 Security Measures
We implement reasonable security measures including:
- Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (including AES-256 encryption for all backup data)
- Time-limited signed URLs for document access (maximum 15-minute expiry) to limit exposure
- Comprehensive audit logging of all document access events, including who accessed what, when, and from where
- Granular role-based access controls (RBAC) with per-permission enforcement on sensitive operations such as document downloads, timesheet exports, and file access
- Immutable audit trail of all permission and role changes, recording the actor's identity, the specific permissions granted or revoked, and full before-and-after permission state snapshots
- Tenant-level data isolation ensuring one tenant cannot access another tenant's data
- Multi-factor authentication support for administrative accounts
- Device fingerprinting and session tracking for security monitoring
- Regular security assessments
- Employee training and access restrictions
7.2 Limitations
No system is completely secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or stored on the Platform.
7.3 Breach Notification
In the event of a security breach involving personal information, we will notify affected Tenants without undue delay. We will provide sufficient information regarding the nature, scope, and likely consequences of the breach to enable Tenants to fulfill their own notification obligations under applicable privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and equivalent provincial privacy laws. We will cooperate with affected Tenants and take reasonable steps to contain and remediate the incident.
7.4 Your Responsibilities
Account security also depends on:
- Maintaining confidential passwords
- Using secure devices and networks
- Reporting suspected security issues promptly
8. Your Rights and Choices
8.1 For Tenants
Tenants may:

Personal information processed or stored outside Canada may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions, including lawful access requests by courts, law enforcement, or national security authorities.
9.2 Safeguards
We remain responsible for personal information under our control, including information transferred to service providers for processing. We use contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to provide a level of protection comparable to that required under Canadian privacy laws, including PIPEDA.
10. Children's Privacy
The Platform is not intended for use by individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

13. Worker-facing consents (reference)
In addition to this Privacy Policy, Workers using the Worker app are presented with two specific consents that further describe how their personal information may be collected and used. The full text of each is published in the Terms of Service:
- Worker Communication & Operational Consent — see Appendix A of the Terms of Service. Covers electronic signatures, and consent to receive operational communications by email, SMS, and push notification.
- Worker Timeclock Consent — see Appendix B of the Terms of Service. Covers GPS location collection at clock-in / clock-out, optional background GPS route tracking during shifts, and timeclock-related push notifications.
Each consent is recorded with version, timestamp, IP address, timezone, device information, and (where the device permits) GPS coordinates at the moment of acceptance, and is downloadable as an audit PDF by the Customer's authorized administrators.
By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
