Your agreement with us includes these Terms and our Privacy Policy (“Agreements”). You acknowledge that you have read and understood Agreements and agree to be bound.

If you do not agree with (or cannot comply with) Agreements, then you may not use the Service, but please let us know by emailing at support@timetracko.com so we can try to find a solution. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who wish to access or use Service.

You represent and warrant that:

Any contests, sweepstakes, or other promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) made available through Service may be governed by rules separate from these Terms of Service. Please review the applicable regulations and our Privacy Policy if you participate in any Promotions. If the Promotion conflicts with these Terms of Service restrictions, Promotion rules will apply.

5. Subscriptions

Our Services are billed on a subscription basis ("Subscription(s)"). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("Billing Cycle"). Billing cycles will be set depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.

At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the same conditions unless you cancel it or timeTracko.com cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting the support@timetracko.com customer support team.

A valid payment method is required to process the payment for your subscription. You shall provide timeTracko.com with accurate and complete billing information that may include but not be limited to full name, address, state, postal or zip code, telephone number, and valid payment method information.

Except as prohibited by law, you will hold us and our officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless for any indirect, punitive, special, incidental, or consequential damage; however it arises (including attorneys’ fees and all related costs and expenses of litigation and arbitration, or at trial or on appeal, if any, whether or not litigation or arbitration is instituted), whether in an action of contract, negligence, or other tortious action, or arising out of or in connection with this agreement, including without limitation any claim for personal injury or property damage, arising from this agreement and any violation by you of any federal, state, or local laws, statutes, rules, or regulations, even if company has been previously advised of the possibility of such damage.

22. Governing Law

According to Australia’s laws, these Terms shall be governed and construed, which governing law applies to an agreement without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have had between us regarding Service.

24. Amendments To Terms

We may amend the Terms at any time by posting the amended terms on this site. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page frequently, so you know any changes, as they are binding on you.

By continuing to access or use our Service after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, you are no longer authorized to use Service.

25. Waiver And Severability

No waiver by Company of any term or condition outlined in Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Company to assert a right or provision under Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason. In that case, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of Terms will continue in full force and effect.

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting your web browser’s Preferences or Settings page.

12. Your Data Protection Rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you are entitled to learn what data we collect about you, ask to delete your data, and not to sell (share) it. To exercise your data protection rights, you can make certain requests and ask us:

0.1 What personal information we have about you. If you make this request, we will return to you:

  • The categories of personal information we have collected about you.

Please note, you are entitled to ask us to provide you with this information up to two times in a rolling twelve-month period. When you make this request, the information provided may be limited to the personal information we collected about you in the previous 12 months.

0.2. To delete your personal information. If you make this request, we will delete the personal information we hold about you regarding the date of your request from our records and direct any service providers to do the same. In some cases, deletion may be accomplished by de-identifying the information. If you choose to delete your personal information, you may not use certain functions that require your personal information to operate.

0.3. To stop selling your personal information. We don’t sell or rent your personal information to any third parties for any purpose. We do not sell your data for monetary consideration. However, under some circumstances, a transfer of personal information to a third party, or within our family of companies, without monetary consideration may be considered a “sale” under California law. You are the only owner of your Personal Data and can request disclosure or deletion at any time.

If you submit a request to stop selling your personal information, we will stop making such transfers.

Please note, if you ask us to delete or stop selling your data, it may impact your experience with us. You may not be able to participate in certain programs or membership services that require the usage of your personal information to function. But in no circumstances will we discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

To exercise your California data protection rights described above, please send your request(s) by email: support@timetracko.com.

Your data protection rights, described above, are covered by the CCPA, short for the California Consumer Privacy Act. To find out more, visit the official California Legislative Information website. The CCPA took effect on 01/01/2020.

13. Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (“Service Providers”), provide Service on our behalf, perform Service-related services or assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.

GDPR Compliance

What it is, what we are doing, and what you can do

The GDPR became enforceable on May 25, 2018, and increased oversight for global privacy rights and compliance. We, at timeTracko, have embraced GDPR requirements and this guide is intended to help our customers understand timeTracko’s GDPR posture. It is not intended as a thorough treatise on GDPR application and should be read with this in mind.

What is the GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) is a European data protection and privacy law adopted April 14, 2016, which became officially enforceable beginning on May 25, 2018. The two (2) year delay between adoption and enforcement was intended to give organizations time to prepare before enforcement.

The GDPR is an ambitious attempt to strengthen, harmonize, and modernize EU data protection law and enhance individual rights and freedoms, consistent with the European understanding of privacy as a fundamental human right. The GDPR regulates, among other things, how individuals and organizations may obtain, use, store, and erase personal data. It replaced a prior European Union privacy directive known as Directive 95/46/EC (the “Directive”), which had been the basis of European data protection law from 1995 to early 2018. Unlike its predecessor, the GDPR applies immediately throughout the European Union (“EU”) across all member states without the need for further member state legislative action.

Since mid-May 2018, the GDPR has been in force and there is no further “grace period.” It is important that organizations impacted by the GDPR are now compliant with its provisions.

How does the GDPR work?

There are many principles and requirements introduced by the GDPR, so it is important to review the GDPR in its entirety to ensure a full understanding of its requirements and how they may apply to your organization. While the GDPR preserves many principles established by the Directive, it introduces several important and ambitious changes. Here are a few that we believe are particularly relevant to timeTracko and our customers:


1. Expansion of scope

The GDPR applies to all organizations established in the EU or processing data of Data Subjects, thus introducing the concept of extraterritoriality, and broadening the scope of EU data protection law well beyond the borders of just the EU.

2. Expansion of definitions of personal data and special categories of data.


3. Expansion of individual rights

Data Subjects have several important rights under the GDPR, including the right to be forgotten, the right to object, the right to rectification, the right of access, and the right of portability. Your organization must ensure that it can accommodate these rights if it is processing the personal data of Data Subjects.

  • Right to be forgotten:An individual may request that an organization delete all data on that individual without undue delay.

  • Right to object:An individual may prohibit certain data uses.

  • Right to rectification:Individuals may request that incomplete data be completed or that incorrect data be corrected.

  • Right of access:Individuals have the right to know what data about them is being processed and how.

  • Right of portability:Individuals may request that personal data held by one organization be transported to another.


4. Stricter consent requirements

Consent is one of the fundamental legal bases of the GDPR, and organizations must ensure that consent is obtained in accordance with the GDPR’s requirements. Your organization will need to obtain consent from its subscribers and contacts for every usage of their personal data unless it can rely on a separate legal basis. The route to compliance is to obtain explicit consent. Keep in mind that:

  • Consent must be specific to distinct purposes.
  • Silence, pre-populated boxes, or inactivity do not constitute consent; data subjects must explicitly opt-in to the storage, use, and management of their personal data.
  • Separate consent must be obtained for different processing activities, which means your organization must be clear about how the data will be used when consent is obtained.

5. Strict processing requirements:

Individuals have the right to receive “fair and transparent” information about the processing of their Personal Data, including:

  • Contact details for the data controller.
  • Purpose of the data: This should be as specific (“purpose limitation”) and minimized (“data minimization”) as possible. Your organization should carefully consider what data it is collecting and why, and be able to validate that to a regulator.
  • Retention period: This should be as short as possible (“storage limitation”).
  • Legal basis: An organization cannot process personal data just because it wants to. It must have a “legal basis” for doing so, such as where the processing is necessary to the performance of a contract, an individual has consented (see consent requirements above), or the processing is in the organization’s “legitimate interest.”

Whom does it affect?

As mentioned above, the territorial scope of the GDPR is very broad. The two most common GDPR territorial conditions for application are, the GDPR applies (1) to the processing of personal data in the context of the activities of an establishment of a controller or a processor in the Union, regardless of whether the processing takes place in the Union or not; and (2) to the processing (a) the offering of goods or services , irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required , to such data subjects in the Union; or (b) the monitoring of their behavior as far as their behavior takes place within the Union. The latter is the GDPR’s introduction of the principle of “extraterritoriality” – meaning, the GDPR applies to any organization processing personal data of data subjects —regardless of where it is established, and regardless of where its processing activities take place. This means the GDPR could apply to any organization anywhere in the world, and all organizations should perform an analysis to determine whether or not they are processing the personal data of EU citizens. The GDPR also applies across all industries and sectors.

Here are a few definitions that will aid in understanding the GDPR’s broad scope.

What is a “data subject”?

The GDPR defines a Data Subject within its definition of “Personal Data” discussed below. A Data Subject is an identifiable natural person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier, such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, psychological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

A Data Subject is not limited to EU Citizenship. The impact of this is apparent in the territorial application of the GDPR described above. An organization processing personal data in the context of an establishment in the EU means personal data processing of any identifiable natural person regardless of the natural person’s physical location – provided the processing is in the context of the establishment. An organization not established in the EU, but offering goods or services to a Data Subject located within the EU also comes under the GDPR. Note that in this instance, in addition to its application to a natural person, it also requires that the natural person be physically present in the EU.

What is considered “personal data”?

The GDPR defines Personal Data as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural individual; meaning, information that could be used, on its own or in conjunction with other data, to identify a Data Subject. Consider the extremely broad reach of this definition. Personal Data now includes not only data that is commonly considered to be personal in nature (e.g., social security numbers, names, physical addresses, email addresses), but also data such as IP addresses, behavioral data, location data, biometric data, financial information, and much more. This means that, for timeTracko users, information that an organization collects about its subscribers and contacts will be considered Personal Data under the GDPR. It’s also important to note that even Personal Data that has been “pseudonymized” can be considered Personal Data if the pseudonym can be linked to any particular individual, so due care should be made when evaluating its application. Classification of data as Personal Data under the GDPR will require Organizations to comply with certain duties and obligations relating to what can broadly be termed transparency involving the use of that Personal Data – and this includes its security.

Special Categories of data, such as health information or information that reveals a person’s racial or ethnic origin, will require even greater protection under the GDPR. An organization should not store data of this nature within its timeTracko account.

What does it mean to “process” data?

Processing under the GDPR is “any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.” Basically, if your organization is collecting, managing, using or storing any personal data of Data Subjects, it is processing EU personal data within the meaning prescribed by the GDPR. This means, for example, that if any of its timeTracko lists contain the email address, name, or other personal data of any Data Subject, then your organization is processing EU personal data under the GDPR. Application of the GDPR, of course, is contingent on meeting the threshold territorial requirements explained above.

Keep in mind that even if your organization does not believe its business will be affected by the GDPR, the GDPR and its underlying principles may still be important to it. European law tends to set the trend for international privacy regulation, and increased privacy awareness now may give it a competitive advantage later.

Who processes Personal Data under the GDPR?

If an organization ‘processes’ personal data, it does so as either a Controller or a Processor, and there are different requirements and obligations for each. A Controller is the organization that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. A Controller also determines the specific personal data that is collected from a data subject for processing. A Processor is the organization that processes the data on behalf of the controller. Think of the Processor as a service provider or vendor in the relationship.

The GDPR has not changed the fundamental definitions of Controller and Processor found in the Directive, but it has expanded the responsibilities of each party. Controllers will retain primary responsibility for data protection (including, for example, the obligation to report data breaches to data protection authorities); however, the GDPR does place some direct responsibilities on the Processor, as well. It is important to understand whether your organization is acting as a Controller or a Processor, and to familiarize yourself with your responsibilities accordingly.

In the context of the timeTracko application and our related services, in the majority of circumstances, our customers are acting as the Controller. Our customers, for example, decide what information from their contacts or subscribers is uploaded or transferred into their timeTracko account. How timeTracko processes Personal Data is addressed below.

How does timeTracko comply with the GDPR?

timeTracko takes GDPR compliance very seriously and started GDPR preparation well before its effective date. As part of this process, we reviewed (and updated where necessary) all of our internal processes, procedures, systems, and documentation to ensure that we were ready when the GDPR went into effect. Compliance is not a static accomplishment, mandating monitoring vigilance in the face of changed circumstances and legal requirements.

One recent change involves the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) ruling in what is referred to as the Schrems II decision. This decision revolves around the transfer of Personal Data from EU member states to third-party countries, such as the United States. The GDPR, like the Directive, does not contain any specific requirement that the Personal Data of EU citizens be stored only in EU member states. Rather, the GDPR requires that certain conditions be met before Personal Data is transferred outside the EU, identifying a number of different legal grounds that organizations can rely on to perform such data transfers. One legal ground for transferring Personal Data set out in the GDPR is an “adequacy decision.” An adequacy decision is a decision by the European Commission that an adequate level of protection exists for the Personal Data in the country, territory, or organization where it is being transferred. The Schrems II decision invalidated the adequacy decision for transatlantic data transfer to the United States known as Privacy Shield II. Another impact resulting out of this decision involved the use of ‘standard contractual clauses’ (SCCs) between the controller or processor and the controller, processor or the recipient of the personal data in the third country or international organization. SCCs are a commonly relied upon legal ground under the heading ‘appropriate safeguards’ where transfer of personal data may only occur if appropriate safeguards are in place and that enforceable data subject rights and effective legal remedies are available. Where the CJEU upheld the validity of this safeguard, it established certain conditions for its use.

timeTracko is committed to complying with the results of the Schrems II decision, and any other legal mandates in the future and is monitoring developments – in particular with respect to European Data Protection Board guidance publications and Supervisory Authority opinions.

As is our policy, we stand ready to address any requests made by our customers related to their expanded individual rights under the GDPR. Generally speaking, these include:

  • Right to be forgotten:You may terminate your timeTracko account at any time.

  • Right to object:You may opt out of inclusion of your data in any data science projects.

  • Right to rectification:You may access and update your timeTracko account settings at any time to correct or complete your account information. You may also contact timeTracko at any time to access, correct, amend or delete information that we hold about you.

  • Right of access:Our Privacy Policy describes what data we collect and how we use it. If you have specific questions about particular data, you can contact support@timeTracko.com for further information at any time.

  • Right of portability:You may request that we export your account data to a third party at any time.

How does timeTracko process Personal Data?

timeTracko, just like any other business, currently uses third-party Sub-processors to provide various business functions like business analytics, cloud infrastructure, email notifications, payments, and customer support. Prior to engaging with any third-party Sub-processor, timeTracko performs due diligence to evaluate their defensive disposition and executes an agreement requiring each Sub-processor to maintain minimum acceptable security practices. We’ve listed our Suprocessors on a separate page. We will keep this page up-to-date, please check back regularly to get updates on all changes.

Do you need to comply with the GDPR?

As detailed above, the GDPR has broad extra-territorial reach and due consideration should be given to its application in your organization’s business. We cannot stress enough that you should consult with legal and other professional counsel regarding the full scope of your organizations’ compliance obligations under the GDPR.

What happens if you do not comply?

Non-compliance with the GDPR can result in enormous financial penalties. Sanctions for non-compliance can be as high as 20 Million Euros or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher.

Where should I start?

We’ve included the table below to help our customers think about GDPR and their responsibilities AND how timeTracko factors into the equation. This list is neither exclusive nor exhaustive.

Assigned Privacy and Security Responsibility

§164.530(a) of the HIPAA Privacy Rule and §164.308(a)(2) of the HIPAA Security Rule each require the designation of a single individual with the responsibility for the development and implementation of the policies and procedures required for compliance. timeTracko will assign the security officer responsibility for all matters relating to the safeguarding of the privacy and security of personal or private information to the chief technology officer (CTO). The security officers may delegate activities to the information security team (IST). This individual or team (as appropriate) will be responsible for ensuring that all personal or private information is protected against reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security and integrity of the information and against reasonably anticipated improper uses.

The HIPAA security officer will be the initial point of contact in any security compliance inquiry.

The HIPAA security officer will have oversight for:

  • Ensuring that all policies and procedures required under applicable standards and regulations are established and maintained over time.
  • Monitoring the appropriate and consistent implementation of policies and procedures.
  • Ensuring that all members of the workforce, contractors, and business associates are aware of and abide by the policies and procedures.
  • Monitoring and analyzing security alerts and information and ensuring proper follow-up action.
  • The investigation of information security incidents and/or breaches.
  • The administration of user accounts, including additions, deletions, and modifications, and monitoring and controlling all access to data.
  • Ensuring that any security weaknesses discovered in the course of security incidents or security evaluations will be prioritized for correction and corrected.
  • Ensuring that the analyses and documentation required by applicable standards and regulations, and/or timeTracko’s security policies and procedures, are carried out fully and completely.

The HIPAA privacy officer will be responsible for receiving any complaints about HIPAA compliance and will be the initial point of contact in any privacy compliance inquiry.

HIPAA Privacy Rule Compliance

timeTracko and its staff shall treat all PHI as confidential information and only access the minimum necessary to perform their job functions. PHI shall not be used or disclosed in any way other than as indicated in the business associate agreements as agreed to by timeTracko.

In the event that timeTracko does retain and manage data that is considered to be part of a patient’s designated record set in a medical record, timeTracko will develop policies and procedures to satisfy the individual rights defined in the HIPAA Privacy Rule § 164.520-528 as necessary and appropriate.

In the event of any improper disclosures in violation of the HIPAA Privacy Rule, steps will be taken to limit and mitigate any harmful effects of such disclosures per §164.530(f). The policy on training and documentation for compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule is integrated with that for compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule and the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule.

Risk Assessment, Risk Analysis, and Risk Management

timeTracko shall regularly, at least annually, evaluate its information security-related policies and procedures to ensure that they meet the requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule and HIPAA Breach Notification Rule (§164.300et seq.and §164.400et seq.). A compliance evaluation shall also be required whenever there is a change in environmental or operational conditions that may affect the security of PHI.

Risks shall be mitigated and managed by timeTracko to the best of its abilities, within reasonable and appropriate constraints of cost, staff ability, and hardware and software capabilities, according to a regularly developed and updated risk management plan based on the risk analysis.

The risk analysis and assessment shall be reviewed and updated whenever there are material changes in systems or operations controlled by timeTracko or significant changes in the security environment in which timeTracko operates, no less frequently than once every year.

Information Security and Compliance Evaluation

timeTracko shall develop procedures to establish regular, periodic evaluations of the information security-related technical measures, policies, and procedures in place at the organization to ensure that they continue to meet the requirements of HIPAA Security Rule §164.308(a)(8). The period of review shall be at least annual and determined according to the organization’s information systems risk analysis and its consideration of best practices. Evaluations shall be documented for regulatory compliance and to provide direction to the organization in the execution of its security management process and plans.

Implementation of Secure Systems and Applications

It is the policy of timeTracko to implement and maintain systems and applications using secure best practices, whether developed in-house or procured from an external vendor. Procedures shall be developed to address:

  • Documentation requirements
  • Default passwords and parameters
  • Password suppression and account lockout
  • Automatic logoff
  • Wireless access
  • Configuration standards
  • Administrative access
  • Patch management
  • Vulnerability management
  • Software development practices
  • Change control
  • Platform security
  • Web-based software and applications
  • Application security
  • Application backup and restoration
  • Security configurations for desktop and laptop computers.

timeTracko shall have procedures to track changes to networks, systems, and workstations including software releases and software vulnerability patching in information systems that contain electronic protected health information (ePHI). Change tracking allows the information technology (IT) department to efficiently troubleshoot issues that arise due to an update, new implementation, reconfiguration, or other changes to the system.

Information System Usage Audits and Activity Reviews

timeTracko implements hardware, software, and/or procedural mechanisms that record and examine activity in information systems that contain electronic protected health information (ePHI). Audit controls are technical mechanisms that track and record computer activities. An audit trail determines if a security violation occurred by providing a chronological series of logged computer events that relate to an operating system, an application, or user activities.

timeTracko shall establish a process for conducting, on a periodic basis, at least annually, an operational review of system activity including, but not limited to, user accounts, system access, file access, security incidents, audit logs, and access reports. timeTracko shall conduct an internal review of records of system activity on a regular basis to minimize security violations.

Backup and Disaster Recovery

It is the policy of timeTracko to prepare for contingencies and ensure an appropriate response to emergencies or other occurrences that may damage systems that contain electronic confidential information, such as protected health information (PHI), and maintain usable copies of electronically held confidential information for use in such responses, if appropriate, as required by HIPAA Security Rule §164.308(a)(7) and by other applicable state or federal regulations. Information not required to be maintained shall be disposed of according to the defined procedures.

Contingency plans must take into account the criticality of applications/systems and data and the effects of short-term interruptions (such as brief power or system failures) and long-term disruptions (such as a loss of facilities or an epidemic).

Procedures shall be established that are sufficient to restore lost or damaged data with a useful duplicate, including the definition of which file systems to back up, the frequency of backups and media rotation, off-site storage requirements, the documentation and labeling of storage media, and the regular testing of backed-up data to ensure adequacy.

Backup and restoration procedures for electronic media and information systems containing critical data must be tested according to the frequency and practices as established in the individual system backup plans.

timeTracko management shall maintain a detailed disaster recovery policy (DRP). This plan addresses the hardware and software configurations and detailed recovery procedures. Plans and procedures shall be sufficient to ensure the restoration of lost data and system access, including a full range of information and activities needed to assure that the plan and its implementation will be effective.

Information Security Incidents

timeTracko shall have in place an information security incident response policy, including procedures for the reporting, processing, and response to suspected or known information security incidents in order to investigate, mitigate, and document such incidents so that security violations may be reported and handled promptly, using an orderly process known to all workforce members, according to the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule and the HIPAA Security Rule §164.308(a)(6).

Training

timeTracko shall establish an information privacy and security awareness and training program for the purpose of ensuring that all workforce members, including management, are aware of the organization’s security policies and procedures and general principles of information security, as required by the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the HIPAA Security Rule §164.308(a)(5). Training must be provided to new staff before access to PHI is permitted and must be provided to all staff at least annually. Procedures shall include a definition of when training is to occur, for whom, and what training content, documentation, and acknowledgment will be provided.

Sanctions for Policy Violations

As appropriate, any member of the workforce who does not comply with the security policies and procedures of timeTracko or who otherwise misuses or misappropriation personal or private information will be subject to disciplinary action according to the organization’s disciplinary procedures. Workforce members in violation of security policies and procedures may be subject to:

  • A verbal warning
  • A notice of disciplinary action placed in personnel files
  • The removal of system privileges
  • Termination of employment and/or contract penalties
  • Civil or criminal penalties which may include notifying law enforcement officials, regulatory accreditation, and licensure organizations
  • Other sanctions as identified in the organization’s disciplinary procedures.

Documentation

timeTracko shall document any policies and procedures implemented under the requirements of the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the HIPAA Security Rule, the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule, and other applicable information security regulations. timeTracko shall also document any actions, activities, and assessments required to be performed under applicable HIPAA regulations under the requirements of the policies enacted in support of such regulations.
