Privacy Policy
Effective date: 1 March 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how PHELTIX Technologies L. L. C (“PHELTIX”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit our website or use our services (the “Services”).
PHELTIX provides workforce attendance and site access validation using GPS geofences, iBeacon (Bluetooth / BLE) proximity checks, and optional selfie verification, together with a web dashboard for administrators.
1. Who we are
Company: PHELTIX Technologies L. L. C
Location: Dubai, UAE
Contact: support@pheltix.com
2. Controller vs. processor (important for enterprise)
When PHELTIX is used by a company for employee attendance, that company is typically the data controller for employee personal data, and PHELTIX acts as a data processor on the company’s instructions.
For our marketing website and direct business communications, PHELTIX acts as a data controller.
Enterprise customers can request a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) for contractual details.
3. Information we collect
Depending on how you use PHELTIX, we may collect:
- Account & identity data: name, email, user ID, role (employee/admin), organization and location identifiers.
- Attendance & job data: punch timestamps, punch type (in/out), job number (optional), and audit metadata (e.g., source: manual/auto).
- Location data: GPS coordinates used to evaluate whether a device is inside a geofence.
- Proximity data: iBeacon/BLE identifiers (UUID/major/minor), RSSI, and the time the beacon was observed.
- Selfie / image data (optional): selfie images captured for liveness verification (when enabled by the customer).
- Device & technical data: device identifiers, OS version, app version, IP address (for web), and diagnostic logs for security and debugging.
- Support & communications: messages you send us and related metadata.
Note: If your employer enables selfie checks, the purpose is attendance verification. Unless explicitly stated in a signed agreement, PHELTIX does not provide facial recognition identity matching.
4. How we use information
- Provide and operate the Services (attendance, reporting, exports, admin tools).
- Detect fraud, prevent misuse, and protect accounts and organizations.
- Improve reliability, performance, and user experience.
- Provide customer support and respond to inquiries.
- Comply with applicable laws, requests, and regulatory obligations.
5. Legal bases
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on one or more of: performance of a contract, legitimate interests (security and service improvement), compliance with legal obligations, and consent (e.g., device permissions for location/camera).
Employers/customers are responsible for providing any required employee notices and obtaining consents where required by local law.
6. Sharing & subprocessors
We may share information with service providers that help us run the Services (for example: hosting, databases, authentication, notifications, email, customer support). These providers are typically bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.
For transparency, we maintain an overview of key service providers on our Subprocessors page.
7. Data retention
Retention periods are typically configured by the customer/organization (e.g., to match HR/payroll requirements). We also retain limited security logs for a reasonable period to protect the platform and investigate issues.
8. International transfers
Depending on the customer configuration and hosting location, information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
9. Security
We apply technical and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.
10. Your rights
Depending on your location and relationship to PHELTIX (visitor, customer admin, employee user), you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, and objection.
If you use PHELTIX through an employer, please contact your employer first. We will also support requests routed through the organization.
11. Cookies
Our marketing website is designed to work without advertising cookies. If we add analytics or tracking technologies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, provide choices.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a new effective date.
