IMS Mobile App

Comprehensive Information Solution Corporation (CIS Corp.)
Effective: August 22, 2026 · Last updated: August 22, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Comprehensive Information Solution Corporation (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use the IMS mobile application (the “App”) — employee attendance, payroll, expenses, and HR self-service companion app.

The App is intended for authorized employees of organizations that subscribe to our IMS platform.

By using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

Information We Collect

Depending on how your employer configures the App and which features you use, we may collect the following:

Account & identity Core feature

  • Employee access key or portal username and password (for sign-in)
  • Name, employee number, department, designation, and profile information from your employer's HR records
  • Profile photo, government ID photo, and digital signature when required for onboarding or verification

Why we collect it: Authenticate you, display your employee profile, and fulfill HR and payroll processes assigned by your employer.

Precise location (GPS) Core feature

  • Latitude and longitude when you time in or time out
  • Approximate address label derived from coordinates (reverse geocoding)

Why we collect it: Verify attendance location as configured by your employer. Location is collected only when you perform an attendance punch, not continuously in the background.

Photos & camera Optional

  • Selfie or face image for attendance verification
  • Receipt images for expense claims
  • ID and profile photos captured in-app

Why we collect it: Support attendance verification, expense documentation, and profile setup. Face detection for attendance may be processed on your device before upload.

Device information Core feature

  • Device identifier, model, manufacturer, operating system version
  • App installation identifier stored locally for device lock / session management

Why we collect it: Bind your account to approved devices, prevent unauthorized access, and troubleshoot technical issues.

Work & payroll data Core feature

  • Attendance punches, leave and overtime requests, payslip summaries, and expense submissions
  • Cached copies of recent records stored on your device for offline use until synced

Why we collect it: Provide HR self-service features and allow limited offline use when network connectivity is unavailable.

Network & diagnostics Core feature

  • IP address and request metadata when the app communicates with our servers
  • Basic connectivity status on your device

Why we collect it: Deliver app functionality, maintain security, and diagnose service issues.

What We Do Not Do

How We Use Your Information

Third-Party Services

We may rely on the following categories of third parties. They process data only as needed to support the App:

Google ML Kit (Face Detection)

On-device face detection during attendance capture. Images are analyzed on your phone; only the resulting photo you confirm is uploaded to our servers.

Platform services (Google Play / device OS)

App distribution, secure storage APIs, and device permission prompts provided by your phone's operating system.

We do not authorize third parties to use your personal information for their own marketing purposes.

Data Storage & Retention

Work-related records (attendance, payroll, expenses) are retained according to your employer's policies and applicable law. Locally cached app data on your device is removed when you sign out or uninstall the app. Server-side retention periods may vary by record type; contact us or your HR department for details.

Some information is stored locally on your device (for example, sign-in credentials in encrypted storage and offline attendance or expense drafts) until you sign out, clear app data, or uninstall the App.

Security

Sign-in credentials are stored using your device's encrypted secure storage. Data in transit between the app and our servers is sent over HTTPS. Access to employee records on our systems is restricted to authorized personnel and role-based permissions.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please protect your device and access credentials.

Your Choices & Rights

You can control App permissions (camera, location, photos) in your Android settings at any time. Denying a permission may limit related features.

Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Additional Information

The IMS app is provided to authorized employees of organizations that use the Comprehensive Information Solution (IMS) platform. Your employer is typically the controller of your employment data; CIS Corp. processes data on their behalf to operate the service. If you have questions about how your employer uses your data, contact your HR or IT department in addition to the contact below.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
