Privacy Policy for Office Time Counter

Last updated: June 17, 2026

Welcome to Office Time Counter. We take your privacy seriously. This document outlines how we handle your data, specifically focusing on sensitive permissions like Location and Notifications.

1. Location Data Disclosure

Office Time Counter requires access to your device's location to provide its core functionality of automated attendance tracking: - Geofence Monitoring: The app accesses Background Location (ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION), Fine Location (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION), and Coarse Location (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) to monitor when you enter or exit specific office coordinates. - Automatic Logging: When a Geofence transition is detected (Entering or Leaving), the app automatically records the timestamp to create your "In Time" and "Out Time" logs. - Data Storage: All location processing happens locally on your device via the Android Geofencing API. We do not transmit your real-time location or movement history to external servers.

2. Notification Access

The app uses a Notification Listener Service to identify "Check-in" or "Check-out" messages sent by specific organization-approved companion apps: - We only read notifications from specific configured package names. Personal messages, emails, or other private notifications are completely ignored.

3. Data Storage & Security

Your attendance logs (In/Out times) are stored in a secure local Room database on your device.

4. Your Controls

• You can revoke Location or Notification permissions at any time through Android System Settings.
• You can delete your entire attendance history from within app settings.
• Geofencing is optional; you can use the app for manual logging without granting location permissions.
