We hire other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. This includes fulfilling service requests, delivering packages, sending mail and email, removing repetitive information, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and offering customer service.

Sometimes, we may retain your information for longer periods as permitted or required by law, such as to maintain suppression lists, prevent abuse, if required in connection with a legal claim or proceeding, to enforce our agreements, for tax, accounting, or to comply with other legal obligations.
When we no longer have a legitimate need to process your information, we will delete or anonymize your information from our active databases. We will also securely store the information and isolate it from further processing on backup discs until deletion is possible.

What is HRBluSky’s policy for the collection, use, and storage of Face Attendance Data?
Use of Face Attendance Software
We offer certain clients the ability to use Face Attendance software through HRBluSky’s Time and Attendance applications. We rely on our contract with clients to lawfully process Face Attendances. This helps us authenticate individuals and prevent fraud in their employment or contractor relationships. HRBluSky uses Face Attendances solely for the purposes requested by our clients to perform applicable HRBluSky services.
Data Security and Retention
HRBluSky securely transmits Face Attendances using encryption. We take reasonable steps to safeguard this data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We retain this information until we terminate our service agreement with clients. We routinely delete the information within 30 days after termination or earlier at the client’s direction. We may also retain it if required by our agreement or if we have a legal reason to do so.
Employee Notification and Consent
Clients must:
- Inform employees or contractors in writing that Face Attendances are collected, stored, and used.
- Specify the purpose(s) for collecting Face Attendances and the duration for which it is stored and used.
- Obtain written consent from the employee or contractor (or their legally authorized representative) to authorize the collection, storage, and use of Face Attendances.
Facial Recognition Technology
HRBluSky uses facial recognition technology as an optional feature for mobile and time clock solutions. Through a photograph (“Photo”) submitted to our sites, algorithms create a Face Attendance identification index. This index is a numeric interpretation of a person’s facial features, such as the distance between the eyes, nose, and ears.
Compliance and Further Information
Additional requirements or restrictions may apply to Face Attendances based on applicable laws in your jurisdiction. If you are an employee or contractor accessing HRBluSky services in connection with your employment or contractor status, please contact your employer or client for further information about your data
