Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 19, 2026
Time Punch Pro ("the App") is a workplace time-clock application provided to employees of Jacobs Franchise Partners and participating locations (the "Employer"). This policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, and how it is protected. The App is intended for use by authorized employees on a shared device at the workplace.
Information we collect
- Employee identity — your name and an internal employee identifier, provided by your Employer.
- PIN — a numeric code you use to clock in and out. PINs are stored only in an encrypted (hashed) form and are never stored or transmitted in plain text.
- Time records — your clock-in and clock-out times, meal and rest breaks, and the store location and device used.
- Photos — a single still photo (a "selfie") captured at the moment you clock in, used to verify the identity of the person punching and to prevent time fraud. The App does not record video or use the camera at any other time.
How we use information
- To record hours worked for payroll and scheduling.
- To verify that the person clocking in is the assigned employee (anti–"buddy punching").
- To support labor-law compliance, including break tracking.
- To operate, secure, and troubleshoot the App.
How information is shared
Your information is shared only with your Employer and the service providers that operate the Employer's timekeeping and payroll systems on its behalf. We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising or to track you across other apps or websites.
Data retention and security
Time records and photos are stored on secured, access-controlled systems and retained for as long as needed for payroll, recordkeeping, and to meet legal obligations, after which they are deleted or anonymized in accordance with the Employer's policies and applicable law. We use industry-standard safeguards, including encryption in transit and restricted access, to protect your information.
Camera permission
The App requests camera access solely to take the clock-in/out verification photo. You will be asked to grant this permission the first time it is needed. The camera is used only during a punch.
Your choices
Because the App is a workplace tool used to record hours worked, employees should direct questions about their time records, photos, or this policy to their manager or to the contact below.
Children
The App is a workplace tool and is not directed to children or to the general public. It is provided to employees in the course of their work.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page.
