Privacy Policy

At HRD, we help make your office work, as well as human resource management tasks, easier and consequently, unite your employees. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains how HRD collects, uses, and transfers your personal data through the use of our mobile application and website (hereinafter referred to as “HRD Applications”). The Privacy Policy obliges HRD not to disseminate your personal information (personal data) without your consent or a legitimate basis. In addition to this Privacy Policy, your use of HRD is also governed by our Terms of Service.

Collection of Personal Information

Personal data or personal information means any information about an individual by which they can be identified. This information does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

HRD may process, use, store, and transfer (including cross-border transfer) various personal data about you, including, but not limited to, your name, date of birth, photograph or other biometric data, email address, phone numbers, cookie information, browser information, your actions in HRD applications (e.g., dates and times of your visits, location, as well as login and logout times). Further personal information may be collected, used, stored, and transferred by us to improve HRD applications.

We may collect your personal information from you (e.g., when you register to create an HRD account or leave us feedback) using automated technologies when interacting with HRD applications, third-party service providers or software, including, but not limited to, Google Analytics and Google AdWords (see https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/), as well as other third parties, such as your employer.

In cases where we need to collect personal data in accordance with legal requirements or under the terms of a contract concluded with you, if you do not provide this data upon request, we will not be able to provide quality services. In this case, we will have to cancel the services we provide to you, but we will notify you in advance.

Your use of HRD applications signifies your agreement with this Privacy Policy and the terms of collection, processing, and use of your personal data.

Health and Activity Data NEW

TimePay uses background location services to enable features such as attendance tracking and the TimePay Connect (Social Radar) function. To deliver these features efficiently, our mobile application utilizes the device’s physical activity recognition sensors (also known as motion sensors or accelerometer data). This data is classified as “Health Data” under Google Play policies.

Specifically, TimePay may access the following health-related data through the Activity Recognition (ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION) permission on your device:

Physical activity status: Whether you are currently stationary, walking, running, cycling, or in a vehicle.

Why We Access This Data

TimePay accesses physical activity recognition data solely for battery optimization purposes. This data is used as part of the Flutter background location service to intelligently manage GPS polling frequency:

When the device detects that you are stationary, the app reduces GPS polling frequency to conserve battery life.
When the device detects that you are in motion (walking, driving, etc.), the app increases GPS polling frequency to provide accurate location updates.

This approach allows TimePay to provide reliable background location functionality while minimizing battery consumption on your device.

How We Use This Data

Activity recognition data is processed entirely on your device and is used only to adjust location tracking intervals.
We do not store, transmit, or collect your physical activity data on our servers.
We do not use this data for health monitoring, fitness tracking, wellness profiling, employee performance evaluation, or any purpose other than battery optimization for background location services.
We do not share this data with any third parties, advertisers, or your employer.

Your Control

You can revoke the Activity Recognition permission at any time through your device’s system settings. Please note that revoking this permission may result in increased battery consumption, as the app will be unable to optimize GPS polling based on your movement state. The core functionality of TimePay will continue to work without this permission.

Purpose of Collecting Your Personal Data

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

To register you as a new user;
To use your facial image for further authentication during login/logout from HRD applications;
We may collect and process location information (GPS) of your mobile device (including latitude or longitude) and the time of recording location information to track your attendance during working hours;
To identify and confirm your identity as an employee/contractor for your employer to use HRD applications;
To manage contractual relationships with you;
To provide, improve, expand, and promote HRD applications;
To provide effective customer and technical support;
To deliver relevant content and advertisements to you through us or one of our partners or to understand the effectiveness of the advertising we provide to you;
To make suggestions and recommendations regarding goods or services that may be of interest to you;
To analyze how you use HRD applications and personalize your experience with HRD applications;
For mergers, acquisitions, and internal management;
To establish feedback with you;
To verify the accuracy and completeness of personal data;
To provide access to HRD partner sites or services;
To respond to a request from a regulator or court in the event of legal proceedings.

If you want to understand the type of personal data used, the legal basis for storing your personal data, and the retention period of personal data for the relevant purposes, please contact your employer.

We may use your personal data only for the purposes specified above unless we believe we need to use it for another reason, and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you want an explanation of how processing for a new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for purposes not described above, we will notify you and explain the legal basis that allows us to do so.

Please note that your personal data may be processed without your knowledge or consent in accordance with these rules within the framework of applicable laws and regulations.

Effective: February 17, 2026

1. Introduction & Core Principles

TimePay Connect is a social coordination tool designed to strengthen communication among team members. Unlike standard time-tracking tools, TimePay Connect is strictly voluntary and operates on a peer-to-peer basis.

Its purpose is not to monitor work performance, but to help colleagues organize meetings, find each other across large areas, or ensure safety during travel. By enabling this feature, you confirm that you are voluntarily sharing your location data for social and coordination purposes, outside of mandatory work obligations.

Your location is your personal data. TimePay Connect operates strictly on a “User Benefit” principle:

Explicit Opt-In: You must manually enable TimePay Connect. It is never activated automatically.
Audience Selection: You decide who can see you. Sharing your location with colleague “A” does not automatically make it visible to colleague “B” or your manager.
Right to Revoke: You may disable location sharing at any time, instantly.
Ghost Mode: You have the right to appear as “online” in the app directory while hiding your exact GPS coordinates.

3. Location Permissions (“Always Allow”)

To function as a real-time radar, TimePay Connect requires “Always Allow” background location permission on your device.

Why is this needed? This allows your avatar to move on your colleagues’ map even when your phone is in your pocket or the app is minimized.
Battery Optimization: We use strictly optimized APIs (e.g., Significant Location Change) to conserve battery life.
System Notifications: Your device (iOS/Android) will periodically alert you that TimePay is using your location in the background. This is a standard operating system requirement.

4. Distinction from Work Obligations (“Right to Disconnect”)

Using TimePay Connect outside of official working hours is considered a social activity, not a work obligation.

Unpaid Time: Time spent using TimePay Connect for social purposes (e.g., sharing location with colleagues on weekends or evenings) does not constitute working time or overtime under the Labor Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and is not compensable.
Prohibition of Coercion: Your employer is strictly prohibited from requiring you to enable TimePay Connect outside working hours. Refusing to use this social feature cannot serve as grounds for disciplinary action or dismissal.

5. Data Storage

We take the security of your data seriously

Local Storage: All geolocation data processed by TimePay Connect is stored on secure servers
Temporary Nature: TimePay Connect is designed for live view only. We do not store a permanent history (trail) of your movements within this social feature. Your coordinates are updated in real time, and previous data is deleted.

6. Access & Admin Visibility

TimePay Connect is a social layer where you control the audience.

Peer-to-Peer: Your location is visible only to the Circles or Colleagues you have explicitly authorized.
No “See All” Mode: Unless you grant permission yourself, a Manager or Admin cannot view your location. Admin status does not override your personal privacy settings in TimePay Connect.

Transfer of Your Personal Data

We may transfer your personal data to third parties listed below for the above purposes.

Third parties. We may transfer your personal data to the following parties:

The administrator of your employer, your colleagues who use HRD applications, and any other company or individual you interact with through HRD applications.
Other companies owned by HRD or HRD property.
Third parties to whom we may sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If changes occur in our business, we cannot control whether new owners will use your personal data in the same way as stated in this Privacy Policy.
A regulatory body requests disclosure that is necessary or appropriate to comply with laws, regulations, or legal processes.
Any other party for the purpose of complying with legal requirements or processes, including, but not limited to, a subpoena, court order, or other mandatory disclosure.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

We take necessary organizational and technical measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized or accidental access, destruction, alteration, blocking, copying, dissemination, as well as from other unauthorized actions by third parties.

Your Right to Access and Correct Personal Information

If you are a Client (HRD system), you can access your personal information to the extent required by law to verify, update, and correct inaccuracies. Upon your request, HRD will provide you with reasonable access to the personal information we collect about you. You can correct, transfer, update, change, or delete this information by logging into your account and updating your information using HRD applications. You can also limit the use and disclosure of your information by following the opt-out links in any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us during business hours. However, your use of the HRD system may be suspended or terminated due to the inability to collect or use certain personal data.

If you are an employee of a Client who uses HRD services, please refer to your employer’s privacy policy, which applies to the collection, use, processing, and storage of your personal data. Under applicable privacy laws, we are a data processor, and your employer remains the data controller. Individual employees of our Clients seeking access to their personal information or attempting to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate personal information should direct their requests to their employers, who are HRD Clients. HRD will correct, amend, or delete inaccurate personal information upon receipt of supporting documentation. HRD Clients can delete and update personal information and data without HRD’s involvement.

How We Store Your Personal Data

Data security. We have implemented appropriate security measures to protect your personal data collected through HRD Applications. However, HRD cannot guarantee the security of your personal data. Additionally, to prevent security breaches of your personal data, we limit access to your personal data only to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will process your personal data only in accordance with our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality and liable for breaches of confidentiality rules in the form of penalties.

Children’s privacy. HRD does not knowingly collect personal data from minors (as defined by applicable law) as HRD applications are not intended for children. We also cannot determine the age of individuals who access and use our HRD Applications. If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal data about your child, please contact us, and we will attempt to delete that information. If a minor (as defined by applicable law) has provided us with personal data without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should contact us to delete the relevant personal data.

Retention. We retain your personal data only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. However, if you choose to delete your account upon request or manually through the platform, your data will be immediately deleted. Nevertheless, in the event of complaints or if we anticipate potential legal proceedings regarding our relationship with you, we may retain your data for an extended period.

Other

Changes to your personal data. You can change your personal data through your account in HRD applications. However, you will not be able to change information that your employer requires from us.

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, our data collection and use practices, the features of our services, or technological advancements. Please periodically check this page for updates. The use of the information we collect is governed by the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of its use. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes here. Please review the changes carefully.
