Information Sharing & Disclosure

Your right to privacy is important to us. We do not sell your personal or client related information to third parties. From time to time we may use the information we collect and store in a statistical way in order to optimise usage of the timehub Application, as discussed above.

  1. Your Use – We will display your Personal Information in your profile page, this may be accessed by other persons to whom you are connected within your organisation depending on their access level. We may share or disclose your information with your consent, for example with your payroll system or provider.
  2. Service Providers, Business Partners and Others – We may use certain trusted third party companies and individuals to help us provide, analyse, and improve the Application (including but not limited to data storage, maintenance Application, database management, web analytics, payment processing, and improvement of the Applications features). These third parties may have access to your information only for purposes of performing these tasks on our behalf and under obligations similar to those in this Privacy Policy.
  3. Third-Party Applications – We may share your information with a third party application with your consent, for example when you choose to access timehub through such an application. We are not responsible for what those parties do with your information, so you should make sure you trust the application and that it has a privacy policy acceptable to you before allowing this feature to be employed.
  4. Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement Requests; Protection of TimeHubs' Rights – We may disclose to parties outside timehub, files stored in your Application and information about you that we collect when we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with a law, regulation or compulsory legal request; or (b) to protect TimeHubs' property rights.

We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in control or use of your Personal Information or Files, or if either become subject to a different Privacy Policy. We will also notify you of choices you may have regarding the information.
  6. Information shared with agents and service providers –  we may share information we collect or you provide to us with the agents or third party service providers of timehub who require the information to provide their Application to timehub and such agents or third party service providers are not allowed to use the information for any other purpose.

Data Retention

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you Application. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you Application, you may contact us via support@timehub.co.nz. We may retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Consistent with these requirements, we will try to delete your information quickly upon request and if desired make it available to you. Please note, however, that there might be latency in deleting information from our servers and backed-up versions might exist after deletion. In addition, we do not delete from our servers files that you have in common with other users.

Security

We have multiple, redundant, servers. Confidential data is held in a separate database that is not directly accessible from the Internet. Data is regularly backed-up and stored in a secure location.

When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our payment pages, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) which is PCI DSS compliant.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. If we make a change to this privacy policy that we believe materially reduces your rights, we will provide you with notice (for example, by email). And we may provide notice of changes in other circumstances as well. By continuing to use the Application after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.
