1. Introduction

floatbooks – Business Solutions(“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of users of the Floatbooks application.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and protect personal data in compliance with Google Play User Data Policy and Apple App Store Privacy Guidelines.

2. Application Purpose

Floatbooks is an ERP system designed for workforce management, particularly for security service companies.

The application is used strictly for work-related purposes during assigned working hours to:

• Manage attendance (check-in / check-out)
• Monitor employee presence
• Ensure operational coverage and workforce efficiency

3. Data We Collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate the application.

a. Employee Information

• Name
• Employee ID
• Job Role

b. Location Data (Foreground & Background)

Floatbooks collects precise location data, including when the application is running in the background or closed.

📍 This data is used for:

• Attendance tracking (check-in / check-out)
• Geofencing and detecting “Fence Break”
• Verifying employee presence at assigned locations
• Managing workforce coverage and shifts

📌 Important Conditions:

• Location tracking is active only during working hours
• Applies only to employees on active duty
• Used strictly for operational and security purposes

c. Device & Technical Data

• Device type
• Operating system
• Application usage logs (for performance and troubleshooting)

4. Background Location Usage

Floatbooks requires continuous access to background location to verify in real time that employees remain within their assigned work locations.

This functionality is essential to the core purpose of the application and cannot be achieved using foreground location access alone, because employees may not actively use the application during working hours.

Without background location access, the application would not be able to:

• Accurately detect absence
• Identify geofence violations (“Fence Break”)
• Ensure operational and security coverage

• Attendance and time tracking
