At GigaSphere, we believe tracking operational performance should never come at the cost of individual privacy. Our platform is engineered to ensure employee data is collected transparently, processed securely, and never sold or monetized.
1. Strict Geolocation Boundaries
We enforce a strict Zero Background Tracking standard to protect employee privacy:
- Clock In/Out Snapshots Only: If an employer enables location services, GigaSphere only captures a single GPS coordinate snapshot at the exact millisecond an employee clocks in or out to verify they are within the designated workspace.
- No Continuous Tracking: Our app never tracks, traces, or logs physical locations in the background, during breaks, or after hours.
2. Data Collection & Usage
To generate accurate biweekly timesheet submissions and pay stub summaries, we securely process:
- Account Metadata: Employee name, business email, and job title for login authentication.
- Operational Logs: Clock in/out timestamps, total hours worked, and break intervals.
- Contextual Data: Employee entered task descriptions, project names, and additional details.
- Secure Authentication: Single Sign On (SSO) tokens and identity data to ensure secure, authorized access.
3. Data Security & Storage
- Canadian Data Residency: All databases, operational logs, and timesheet records are hosted and processed exclusively within Canadian geographic boundaries.
- Enterprise Grade Encryption: Data is heavily encrypted at rest (AES 256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), with strict multi tenant isolation ensuring no company can ever access another's data.
4. Data Control & Retention
- The "Agent" Boundary: Because GigaSphere operates as a vendor, the employer is the primary data controller. We retain data to satisfy regional labor standards, but we cannot alter approved timesheets without employer administrator approval.
- Employee Transparency: Employees can review every line item of data captured about them, including historical task notes and exact clock in timestamps, directly from their personal dashboard.
- On Demand Deletion: When a subscription is terminated, all associated timesheets, accounts, and location snapshots are permanently purged.
Employer Notice: By utilizing the GigaSphere platform, subscribing employers acknowledge their responsibility to ensure employees are aware of and consent to location verification protocols at clock in/out in accordance with local labor laws.
