3. General
Timesheet respects the privacy of its users and is committed to protecting their personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how Timesheet processes personal information in connection with the use of our Services.
Our Services are exclusively addressed to persons who are at least 14 (fourteen) years old. Therefore, in principle, no data of persons under 14 (fourteen) years of age will be processed.
The terms "personal data", "data subject", "processing", "controller" and "processor" used in this Privacy Policy correspond to the definition in the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").
This Privacy Policy governs the processing of personal data of
- visitors to the Timesheet website ("Website Visitors"),
- independent individual users of our Services (such as freelancers or other individuals who register independently of an employer or other organization to use our Services; "Individual Customers"), and
- companies, organizations, institutions, groups of individuals, or the like that track the time of their employees assigned to their Timesheet account or other individuals for whom they have purchased licenses through the use of our Services ("Enterprise Customers").
Individual Customers and Enterprise Customers are hereinafter also collectively referred to as "Customers".
Timesheet is the controller of the personal data referred to in section 4.
The user (Individual Customer) or the person who has acquired a license for this user and on whose behalf the user carries out the time tracking (Enterprise Customer) determines the purposes and means of the processing of the personal data stated in section 5. Hence, Customers are to be regarded as controllers with regard to this personal data. The personal data stated in section 5. are thus only processed by Timesheet on behalf of the user.
This processing on behalf of the Customer is carried out exclusively on the basis of the Data Processing Agreement, which is concluded by accepting our General Terms and Conditions, entering into a user agreement, purchasing licenses and generally when using our Services, and which forms an integral part of the contractual relationship between the Customer and Timesheet. For the avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Policy, together with the contents of the Data Processing Agreement, constitutes Customer's complete and final instructions to Timesheet with respect to the processing of personal data.
If you as the data subject are the end user of the Timesheet Services but the license was acquired by your employer or the like, you are primarily subject to the privacy policy of this Enterprise Customer as the data controller with respect to this data processing, for which we process your data only as a processor. Inquiries regarding the processing itself as well as your rights in connection with the processing by us are therefore primarily to be directed to your employer or the like, who will subsequently contact us if necessary.
4. Data processed as the controller
For the purpose of providing and improving the Services, Timesheet processes the following data as a data controller:
- Each time you use the App, we process certain automatically generated technical data to maintain the functionality of the App and to prevent and defend against targeted attacks. This includes, for example, the software and hardware used as well as the IP address of the end device, the time and duration of use as well as error reports and connected devices (together "Device Data").
- We also process the used and most frequently used functions. We use this information to evaluate and improve our functions.
- Your e-mail address is collected during registration and is then used for user identification during registration and to contact you, for example to reset your password.
- When a profile is created, users are assigned a "Profile ID" and a "User ID". We process these in order to be able to assign datasets to you.
- If you want to receive notifications from our App on your device, device tokens for your device will be created and stored. These device tokens and the message content are transmitted to your respective operating system to enable these notifications.
- To enable subscriptions via our App, we process payment data (see in detail point 9. below) as well as other necessary information for billing in the context of subscriptions (address, VAT, etc.).
- Correspondence, for example for the conclusion of a contract or for support purposes.
- Individual Customers only: Name, profile picture (if provided), language
- Enterprise Customers only: Information on licenses and assigned license users
The legal basis for this processing is primarily the fulfillment of the contract according to Art 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Without the provision or collection of this data, we cannot provide our Services or certain functions.
Voluntary information is processed for the purpose of providing the respective intended functions on the basis of consent pursuant to Art 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which the user gives by providing the respective data. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future by self-deletion or by sending an e-mail to privacy@timesheet.io.
The processing of the Device Data and the functional analysis is also based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art 6 (1) (f) GDPR, namely, to optimize and improve the App and the Services, to increase the user-friendliness, to provide useful information about the use of our Services and to ensure and increase the security and stability of the App and to be able to detect and track attacks and abuse.
5. Data processed as processor on behalf of the Customer
As a processor, we process the following data on behalf of the Customer:
- Enterprise Customers only: Name, profile picture (if provided) and language of assigned license users.
- All content that is entered, provided, collected or processed in any other form via the Services and the available functions, such as, in particular, tracked time, breaks, teams, projects, tasks, expenses, notes, keywords, rates/hourly rates, invoices, automations, signatures, attachments, images and other uploads, provided that and only to the extent that this data is provided by the Customer. This also includes all data and information made available based on individually configurable App permissions.
- If access to the location of the end device used is permitted, this can be used to automate time tracking. Depending on the individual approvals or permissions granted, entering or leaving a certain area (geofence detection) or connecting or disconnecting to a Wi-Fi network (Wi-Fi detection) or iBeacon detection can start or stop automated time tracking. However, the location is only used if a specific "automation" has been set up or activated in the App. The use of the location data can therefore be stopped at any time by deactivating the corresponding function/automation in the App or via the settings of the operating system.
- Information we receive from user-enabled and connected or integrated third-party applications. You should always review the privacy settings and notices in those third-party services to understand what information may be shared with us or transmitted to our Services.
- In addition, personal data of users may be processed if other users disclose their data within the scope of our Services, for example by entering it in their projects or tasks or as their employer.
Timesheet processes this data only on behalf of the respective controller, the legal basis of the processing (contract performance, consent, legitimate interests, etc.) is therefore determined individually by the respective controller.
6. Messaging
To inform about events within the App, notifications ("push notifications") are sent to the user's device when this function is activated. The authorization of the App with regard to such notifications can be set or deactivated at any time in the settings of your operating system. In case of deactivation, notifications can no longer be sent.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, for example as part of the settings of the App, or if other legal preconditions apply, we process your e-mail address to send you news and information about Timesheet. By registering, you consent to the processing of your contact data for this purpose and for sending promotional messages. We will continue to process your data until you withdraw your consent.
If the legal requirements are met, we also process your contact data on the basis of our legitimate interest, namely, to stay in touch with you and maintain contact. In any case, you can refuse further sending by e-mail to privacy@timesheet.io.
In order to fulfill the contract, we will also send you messages necessary for this purpose, such as confirming your registration or resetting your password.
7. Recipients
We do not sell or otherwise share your personal data with third parties, except as provided in this Privacy Policy or the Data Processing Agreement, or as otherwise required by law or regulation.
Within the App, depending on your or your organization's settings, your data can be shared with other users, teams, project members, etc.
Personal data may be transferred to, stored in, or accessed from a location outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") in order for us to provide the Services. A list of the (sub)processors we use is available at https://timesheet.io/en/sub-processors. You expressly consent to the use of the recipients named in this list and to the transfer, storage and other processing to/by them.
We undertake to transfer personal data to third countries only if an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed there, standard contractual clauses have been concluded, binding internal data protection regulations exist or other suitable guarantees exist, or you have consented to this transfer.
8. Payments
For the payment of subscriptions concluded via the App, we use the payment service provider PayPal or, for payments via credit cards, the payment service provider Stripe.
For payment processing, the data necessary in each case is transmitted to these payment service providers. This processing and transmission take place for the payment of subscriptions and thus for the fulfillment of the contract in accordance with Art 6 (1) (b) GDPR and is also based on your consent in accordance with Art 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Stripe and PayPal may also transfer the data outside the EEA if this is necessary to provide the services.
Further information on the payment providers can be found at https://timesheet.io/en/sub-processors and the websites stated there.
