Privacy Policy

Effective 2026. How Werktyd ("we") handles personal information of business users and website visitors. Worker biometric data is covered in the workplace privacy notice.

What we collect

Account details you provide (your name, business email, company information) and basic technical logs needed to run and secure the service.

Why we use it

To provide the time-and-attendance service, bill it, keep it secure, and support you. We do not sell your data or use it for third-party advertising.

Worker biometric data

When you enrol workers, we store a numeric face template — never the photograph. Workers may use a PIN instead. Templates are deleted when a worker leaves; time records are kept for the period the law requires (BCEA, 3 years).

Where it's processed

On secure servers in Germany (EU), recognised as providing adequate protection under POPIA section 72.

Cookies

A single session cookie keeps you signed in. No third-party tracking cookies.

Security

Encryption in transit, identifying fields encrypted at rest, access control and audit logging.

Your rights

You may access, correct or delete your account data — email privacy@werktyd.co.za. You may complain to the Information Regulator (South Africa).
