1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Propivox Technologies LLC ("Propivox," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, protects, and discloses information in connection with the ABC Command mobile application (the "Application" or "ABC Command").
ABC Command is a specialized construction workforce management application built for authorized field employees, trade contractors, crew members, and supervisory personnel. The Application provides operational tools including shift timekeeping, meal break logging, project information access, work assignments, jobsite geofencing, field communication, jobsite photo uploads, and receipt submission.
Because ABC Command is an employer-administered workforce tool, user accounts are provisioned under the authorization of your employer or contracting organization. By downloading, accessing, or using ABC Command, you acknowledge that your information will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and your organization's workforce policies.
2. Information We Collect
ABC Command collects and processes only the information necessary to provide legitimate operational workforce management services. We process the following categories of information:
2.1 Account Information
When an authorized account is provisioned or accessed, we process:
- Personal Identifiers: Name, work email address, and contact phone number.
- Worker Identifiers: Employee ID or username assigned by your organization.
- Authentication Credentials: Secure password hashes and session authentication tokens.
2.2 Employment & Workforce Information
During the normal course of field operations, the Application records:
- Time Clock Records: Precise timestamps for shift Clock In and Clock Out events.
- Meal Break Records: Start and end timestamps for recorded meal and rest intervals.
- Work Assignments: Daily project assignments, scheduled tasks, and dispatch instructions.
- Project Data: Jobsite addresses, customer project scopes, supervisor assignments, and operational notes.
2.3 Location Information
To verify presence at designated jobsites and maintain accurate payroll time records, the Application processes device geographic coordinates during active shifts. The full lifecycle and controls for location data are detailed in Section 3 below.
2.4 User Content & Media
When field workers utilize the Application's collaboration tools, we process:
- Field Chat Messages: Project-specific text communications between team members and dispatchers.
- Jobsite Photos & Media: Progress photographs, site inspection images, and completion documentation captured or uploaded through the app.
- Receipts & Expense Uploads: Photos of job-related material or fuel receipts submitted for reimbursement or job costing.
2.5 Device & Technical Information
To deliver real-time notifications and maintain app stability, we process:
- Notification Tokens: Apple Push Notification service (APNs) device tokens required to deliver dispatch alerts and project updates.
- System Parameters: Device model, operating system version, app build version, and network connection status.
- Technical Diagnostics: Crash logs and diagnostic error details collected solely to troubleshoot software defects and maintain service availability.
3. Location Information & Shift Lifecycle
Location awareness is a core operational component of ABC Command, utilized exclusively to support timekeeping integrity, jobsite geofencing, project attendance verification, and field worker safety.
Approved Location Lifecycle
ABC Command is engineered with strict boundaries around location collection, adhering to the following shift lifecycle:
- Clock In: When an employee taps Clock In, device location is captured to verify physical arrival at the designated jobsite geofence. Active shift location tracking begins.
- While Actively Working: While an employee is actively on shift, location services operate to support legitimate workforce administration. Location may continue in the background and while the device screen is locked to ensure accurate jobsite verification without requiring the app to stay in the foreground.
- Meal Break Start: When an employee logs the start of a meal break, a location point may be captured to record the break event, and active background location tracking is immediately paused.
- During Meal Break: Active background location tracking is strictly OFF. The Application does not record continuous background location updates while an employee is on an active meal break.
- Meal Break End: When the employee resumes work and clocks back in from meal break, a location point may be captured, and active shift location tracking resumes.
- Clock Out: When the employee clocks out at the conclusion of their shift, a final location point is recorded to register shift completion, and active location tracking immediately stops.
- Sign Out: When the employee signs out of their user account, active location tracking immediately stops.
3.1 Purpose of Location Processing
Location information is processed strictly for legitimate workforce management purposes, including:
- Timekeeping Verification: Confirming that time clock punches occur on authorized jobsite premises.
- Jobsite Geofencing: Automatic detection of arrival and departure within employer-defined project perimeters.
- Field Operations & Dispatch: Providing dispatchers and site supervisors with real-time operational context for work assignments.
- Safety & Emergency Context: Identifying team distribution during hazardous field conditions or jobsite emergencies.
4. How We Use Information
We process collected information solely to perform our contractual and operational functions, including:
- Operating the Application: Delivering ABC Command features, user interface, and operational tools to field teams.
- Authentication & Security: Authenticating employee logins, maintaining secure sessions, and preventing unauthorized account access.
- Timekeeping & Payroll Support: Compiling verified shift records, meal break logs, and overtime records for payroll processing by the employer.
- Work Coordination & Scheduling: Transmitting project assignments, dispatch notifications, task updates, and architectural specifications.
- Field Communication: Routing field chat messages and jobsite announcements among assigned crew members.
- Document & Media Management: Organizing site photos, progress records, inspection reports, and submitted expense receipts.
- Operational Alerts: Sending urgent notifications regarding schedule adjustments, severe weather, or jobsite directives.
- Security & Fraud Prevention: Protecting against fraudulent time punches, account hijacking, and unauthorized system access.
- System Diagnostics & Reliability: Identifying software defects, optimizing network usage in low-connectivity environments, and ensuring uptime.
- Legal & Regulatory Compliance: Complying with applicable employment standards, wage-and-hour documentation laws, workplace safety regulations, and legal subpoenas.
No Commercial Advertising: We do not use personal or workforce data to profile individuals for advertising, nor do we display third-party advertisements in ABC Command.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information and workforce records for as long as necessary to fulfill the operational purposes described in this Privacy Policy, provide services to the customer organization, and comply with legal obligations.
Because ABC Command serves as an official timekeeping, safety, and operational record system, specific retention durations are largely governed by applicable statutory recordkeeping requirements (such as federal and state wage-and-hour laws, tax records, and occupational safety mandates) as well as employer record-retention schedules.
When data is no longer required for business operations, statutory compliance, or dispute resolution, we securely delete or anonymize the information in accordance with standard data sanitization procedures.
7. Security Safeguards
Propivox Technologies LLC takes data security seriously and implements reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
These safeguards include:
- Encrypted Communications: Enforcing Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS) encryption for all data transmitted between the mobile application and our servers.
- Access Controls: Restricting access to production databases and workforce records to authorized personnel based on the principle of least privilege.
- Secure Authentication: Employing secure token-based authentication and industry-standard credential hashing algorithms.
- Infrastructure Hardening: Utilizing enterprise-grade cloud hosting environments with active monitoring, vulnerability management, and automated backups.
Please note: While we implement rigorous safeguards, no electronic transmission over the mobile internet or method of digital storage is completely immune from security risks. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Employer-Managed Accounts
ABC Command is designed as an organizational workforce tool. Individual employee accounts are provisioned, maintained, and deactivated directly by the employer or contracting entity that licenses the service.
Consequently:
- Employees generally cannot register unverified public consumer accounts.
- Your employer establishes assignment parameters, shift requirements, and permissions for your account.
- Inquiries regarding shift modifications, punch adjustments, payroll records, or employment status should be directed to your company's management or human resources department.
9. Privacy Requests & Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction and applicable data protection regulations, you may have rights regarding your personal information:
- Access: The right to request confirmation of whether we process your personal information and obtain a copy of such data.
- Correction: The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
- Deletion: The right to request deletion of personal information, subject to statutory retention requirements and employer record obligations. For complete instructions and disclosures on submitting a data deletion request for your workforce account, visit our dedicated ABC Command Data Deletion Request Page.
- Device Permissions: You can manage device permissions—including Location Services, Camera, Photo Library, and Push Notifications—at any time through your iOS or mobile operating system settings.
Important Notice Regarding Permissions: While you may disable device permissions at any time, revoking essential permissions (such as Location Services during active shifts) may prevent the Application from recording verified time punches, calculating geofence arrival, or fulfilling jobsite shift requirements.
To submit a privacy inquiry or exercise your rights, please contact our support team at support@propivox.com or review our Data Deletion Request Page. Where requests relate to employer-controlled records, we will coordinate with your organization's designated administrator to facilitate the appropriate response.
10. Third-Party Services & Infrastructure
ABC Command utilizes trusted enterprise third-party service providers to facilitate application functionality, including:
- Cloud hosting and compute infrastructure
- Managed database and file storage systems
- User authentication and security identity infrastructure
- Apple Push Notification service (APNs) for real-time notification routing
These service providers are restricted from using your personal data for any purpose other than providing contracted infrastructure services to Propivox Technologies LLC.
11. Children's Privacy
ABC Command is an enterprise construction workforce management tool intended exclusively for authorized commercial personnel and adult workers. The Application is not directed toward, marketed to, or designed for children or general consumers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the legal age of employment. If we become aware that personal information of a minor has been collected inadvertently, we will take immediate steps to delete such data.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational modifications, feature additions, security enhancements, or legal and regulatory developments. When updates are published, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
We encourage users and administrators to periodically review this page to remain informed of our privacy practices. Your continued use of ABC Command following the posting of an updated policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised terms.
