WORKER LOCATION PRIVACY SUMMARY
Clear location sharing for Site Workers.
This short product summary explains how Daymark uses attendance and precise location information. It is not your employer’s full workforce privacy notice. Your employer is responsible for giving you that notice before monitoring begins. Last updated 23 September 2026.
Only Site Worker accounts share location. Once a Site Worker signs in and grants location permission, Daymark can collect their current position while they are working or travelling; clocking in is not required. During a shift, workers use Start driving and End driving to mark journeys. Daymark uses the GPS points from each marked journey to show an approximate route and separate travel time. Sharing stops when they sign out. In the paired phone app, continuous background tracking begins only after Daymark confirms Clock in and stops after it confirms Clock out. Tracking continues during breaks. Background updates depend on the phone’s operating system and granted background-location permission; the app shows the normal system notice or location indicator. Force-stopping the app, revoking permission or switching off the device stops updates. A web browser may also pause location updates when it is closed or suspended.
Information Daymark uses
- Your work-account email, display name, role and paired-phone details.
- Clock-in, clock-out and break times, plus pay information entered by an Admin.
- For Site Workers only, precise coordinates, accuracy and capture time while signed in and location permission is enabled, including while travelling. The paired phone app can send updates in the background when the operating system allows it.
Why it is used
Daymark uses this information to record attendance, calculate working time, support payroll records and let the Boss and authorised Admins check Site Worker locations and movement while those workers are signed in.
Who can see it
A worker can see their own attendance and pay. The Boss and authorised Daymark Admins can see Site Worker locations and manage office records. Site Worker locations are not collected from Admin or Boss accounts, and other workers cannot view them. Daymark is not designed to sell location information or use it for advertising.
Storage and retention
Live movement samples are kept for up to 30 days. Clock, break and their attached location events remain with the attendance history so the office can audit saved records. A phone may temporarily keep unsent location points in the app’s private storage while offline and removes each queued item after it reaches Daymark.
Your controls
- In the website, sign out of Daymark to stop location sharing; clocking out does not stop browser sharing. In the native Daymark Worker app, confirmed Clock out stops tracking.
- Review or revoke Daymark’s location permission in the phone’s settings.
- Revoke a paired phone from your Daymark website account.
- Ask your office Admin to correct or remove attendance information where appropriate.
When tracking cannot continue
Force-quitting on iPhone, Force stop on Android, switching off the device, disabling location, revoking permission, losing battery or some operating-system battery controls can stop updates. Daymark shows missing updates as a gap; it does not invent a route.
Questions
Your employer is the controller responsible for its workforce monitoring. Ask the employer or a Daymark office Admin for the employer’s identity and contact details, lawful basis, recipients and transfers, full retention periods, whether providing location is required, possible consequences, your data rights and its complaint route. In the UK, you can also read the Information Commissioner’s public data-protection guidance or raise a concern with the ICO.
