Privacy policy.
Dataphyll take your privacy very seriously. This privacy policy (‘policy’) sets out how Dataphyll Limited (‘Dataphyll’, ‘we’, ‘us’) manage and handle personal information, including in our mobile apps Dataphyll Crew and Dataphyll Worker. Please read it carefully so you understand what we do and can make informed decisions about sharing personal information with us.
Our mobile apps: Dataphyll Crew and Dataphyll Worker
The apps are used by people working for orchards and growers that use Dataphyll. They record work, such as clocking on and off and the items handed over, so the employer can credit and pay it accurately.
What the apps collect
- Name and email address, from the account you sign in with (Google, Microsoft or Apple) and the details you enter when you register. If you choose to hide your email with Sign in with Apple, we only receive Apple’s relay address.
- Account and user identifiers: the sign-in account’s identifier and your worker number with your employer.
- A device identifier, so your account can be used on the phone you registered and work is not credited to the wrong person.
- Precise location, recorded when you capture work (for example clocking on, a pick or a receipt) so it is credited to the right block and row. The app only uses location while it is open.
- Photos, when your team uses them: proof-of-pick and quality photos, and the camera frame of a scanned QR code. The camera is also used to scan clock-on, crate and location QR codes. The apps do not record sound.
- Work records: clock-on and clock-off times, the orchard, team and job, items handed over and scanned, and any queries you raise.
How it is used
Only to run the app and your account: to sign you in, record and upload your work, show you your hours and items, and give your employer the records they need to pay you. We do not sell personal information, we do not show advertising, and the apps contain no advertising or analytics tracking. We do not use app data to track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
Who sees it
Your employer (the orchard or grower you clock on with) sees your work records, name and contact details. We use Google Cloud and Firebase to sign you in and to host data, in Australia. Otherwise personal information is disclosed only as described under “Disclosing your personal information” below.
On your phone
Work is saved on your phone first so nothing is lost without signal, and uploaded when there is a connection. Data in transit is encrypted (HTTPS).
Keeping and deleting your data
You can ask us to delete your account and data at any time: in the app open the menu and choose Delete my account, or see Delete my account. Work and pay records that employers must keep under New Zealand employment and tax law are kept for your employer for that time (usually up to 7 years), then deleted.
