We may disclose your personal information to your employer or a third party for a business purpose.

Your Rights and Choices

This section describes your privacy rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. You also have the right to request that we transfer information about you to a third party. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

The categories of personal information we collected about you.
The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
- sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
- disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
If requested by you, we will provide you with a copy of the personal information you provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or transmit that data to a third party.

Right to Rectification and Right to Restrict Processing of Information

You have the right to request that we update any information about you that is inaccurate or incomplete. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will update (and direct our service providers to update) your personal information in our records. You also have the right to require us to restrict processing of your personal information in certain circumstances, e.g. if you contest the accuracy of the personal information.

Right to Object

In certain circumstances, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal information by us, including if such processing is for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Not Be Subject to Decisions Based Solely on Automated Processing

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you or your employer requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you or your employer, or otherwise perform our contract with you or your employer.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 ).
Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your or your employer’s relationship with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you or your employer provided it.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

Calling us at 1-800-962-0102; or
Via e-mail to [email protected].

Only you, your employer, or a person that you or your employer authorize to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or a legally authorized representative.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover 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. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. For example, in cases where requests from an Employee are distinctly unsubstantiated or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, ICI may either charge a reasonable fee, in ICI’s discretion, taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested; or refuse to act on the request altogether.

Keeping Your Personal Information Secure

ICI has reasonable technical, physical and administrative security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorized way. These measures offer appropriate reasonable security level, taking into account the state of the technology, the implementation costs and also the nature, the scale, the context and the processing purposes. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. The measures are also intended to prevent unnecessary collection and further processing of personal information. The personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

Sensitive Personal Information and Biometric Information

In the ordinary course of its business, ICI processes sensitive personal data on behalf of your employer, such as biometric information, social security numbers and dates of birth. ICI, and other Channel Partners (if applicable), and/or your employer has represented that they have implemented reasonable technical, physical and administrative safeguards to help protect the sensitive personal data from unlawful use and unauthorized disclosure. All ICI employees and contractors are required to follow these established processes, both online and offline. Access to sensitive personal data is restricted to those employees and contractors who have a need to access the information to perform tasks for ICI and/or ICI’s affiliates and agents. ICI will only disclose sensitive personal data to those service providers, auditors, and/or advisors who are legally or contractually obligated to protect them or as agreed upon by the client and/or client employee, or as permitted or required by law.

Biometric information which may be collected by ICI may include biological traits unique to individuals and biometric identifiers as may be defined in any applicable local laws that govern the collection, use, storage or disclosure of biometric data. “Biometric Identifier” means a biological trait, including retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or scan of hand or face geometry or photograph. “Biometric Information” means any information, regardless of how it is captured, converted, stored, or shared, based on an Individual’s Biometric identifier used to identify an individual. These definitions may be amended from time to time based on technological advancements and this paragraph is not intended to be limiting. The capture of such Biometric Information creates a biometric identifier in the form of a numeric value which can be stored in used to authenticate the identity of a person while using our products. This numeric value cannot be reverse engineered to reproduce a likeness of your biometric identifier.

ICI will not disclose or disseminate any Client’s Employee’s Biometric Information to any person or entity other than the Client and the licensor of ICI’s time and attendance software without/unless:

First obtaining the Client’s Employee’s written consent;
Disclosure is required by state, federal law or other applicable local law;
Disclosure is required pursuant to a valid warrant or subpoena; or
Disclosure is needed to help ICI defend or otherwise assist itself in a legal proceeding.

Note: The sale, merger or other transaction (and any due diligence related thereto) involving the ownership of, or investment into, ICI, a portion thereof, or the product/service line (and therefore its data/information), which transfers data/information to a new company, shall also be permitted. In addition, vendors who assist ICI with its processes, including but not limited to the maintenance of servers, disposal or recycling of equipment, shall also be encompassed within ICI’s authorized recipients and holders of such data/information.

ICI will use a reasonable standard of care to store, transmit and protect from disclosure any paper or electronic Biometric Information collected, such as genetic markers, genetic testing information, account numbers, PINs, driver’s license numbers, and social security numbers.

Client’s Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for maintaining their own data collection, disclosure, retention, and storage policies as may apply to them under applicable law. To the extent required by law, Clients will obtain written authorization for the Client, ICI, and/or the licensor of ICI time and attendance software to collect, retain, and use data and biometric data from each employee prior to collection of such data. Biometric data will be used for identification and fraud prevention, unless otherwise agreed to by client and/or client employee.

While the use of Biometric Information is not mandatory to use our products, Clients may encourage employees to participate in biometric authentication. By voluntarily enrolling and submitting a Biometric Information Written Release form, offering your Biometric Information for capture, Client’s employees consent to the resulting and subsequent use of their Biometric Information with our products.

ICI Clients agree that, in light of the developing nature of the legal requirements that may apply to ICI’s biometric information capture devices, to the extent that they make use of ICI’s devices designed to capture and store biometric information in jurisdictions where applicable law so requires, they must:

Inform the employee in writing that biometric data is being collected, stored, and used;
Indicate the specific purpose(s) for collecting the biometric data and length of time for which it is being collected, stored, and used; and
Receive a written release from the employee (or his or her legally authorized representative) of the biometric data authorizing the Client, ICI and/or the licensor of ICI time and attendance software to collect, store, and retain the employee biometric data utilized by ICI’s devices designed to capture and store biometric information, and authorizing the Client to provide such data to ICI and the licensor of ICI time and attendance software.

Client agrees to hold harmless, defend and indemnify ICI and its affiliates, employees, parents, subsidiaries, assigns and partners if Client fails to obtain the necessary authorizations and/or releases hereunder or otherwise violates this policy or other agreement with ICI.

Disclaimer/Limitation of Liability

ICI is not responsible for any errors that are made by you in inputting data, nor for data entered by someone using your credentials. PLEASE SECURE YOUR CREDENTIALS AND DO NOT DISCLOSE THEM TO ANYONE ELSE. If your credentials are compromised, please contact your Employer immediately and notify us at [email protected].

Under no circumstances shall ICI be liable to you, including but not limited to any liability for the system not being available for use, for lost or corrupted data, for errors in the documentation provided to you, if any, or for the failure of data archiving. Please keep track of your own time in case of a system malfunction. Except as expressly agreed with its Client, ICI will not be liable for any consequential, special, indirect, or punitive damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any third party.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. In that regard, we will not take the following actions in response to your exercising of your privacy rights, unless permitted by the applicable laws:

Deny you goods or services.
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this Policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this Policy, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our Websites’ homepages and/or through the Application login screen. You will also be able to determine the date that our current Policy has become effective, by viewing the Effective Date at the top of this document.
