Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 16, 2025

Plain English Summary: This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. We collect employee data that you enter into LALO HR, use it to provide our services, and protect it using industry-standard security practices on AWS infrastructure.

1. Who We Are

Lalo LLC ("LALO HR," "we," "us," or "our") provides workforce management software that helps businesses track time, manage schedules, and handle leave requests. This Privacy Policy applies to all users of our Service, including:

  • Administrators: Business owners, HR managers, and others who set up and manage LALO HR accounts
  • Employees: Workers whose time, schedules, and leave are tracked in LALO HR
  • Website Visitors: People who visit our marketing website

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When you use LALO HR, you may provide:

Data Type Examples Purpose
Account Information Email, password, company name Create and manage your account
Employee Information Name, email, phone, employee ID, hire date, job title, department Employee records and communication
Compensation Data Hourly rates, salary information, pay schedules Time tracking and payroll exports
Time Records Clock in/out times, breaks, timesheets Track attendance and calculate hours

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you use LALO HR, we automatically collect:

  • Device Information: Browser type, operating system, device identifiers
  • Log Data: IP address, access times, pages viewed, actions taken
  • Location Data: GPS coordinates when clocking in (if GPS verification is enabled)
  • Cookies: Session cookies for authentication and preferences

📍 About GPS Location Data

GPS verification is an optional feature that employers can enable. When enabled, employee location is captured only at the moment of clock in/out—we do not track continuous location. Employees are notified when GPS verification is required, and the feature can be disabled by the administrator.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Provide the Service

  • Process time entries and calculate hours worked
  • Manage employee schedules and availability
  • Track PTO balances and process leave requests
  • Generate reports and analytics
  • Export data to payroll systems

Authenticate Users

  • Verify identity through Amazon Cognito
  • Manage user sessions and permissions
  • Process password resets and account recovery

Improve the Service

  • Analyze usage patterns to improve features
  • Debug issues and fix errors
  • Develop new functionality

Communicate With You

  • Send transactional emails (password resets, notifications)
  • Provide customer support
  • Send important service announcements

4. How We Protect Your Information

Infrastructure Security

LALO HR is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which provides enterprise-grade security infrastructure. Our security measures include:

🔐 Encryption

  • TLS 1.2+ for data in transit
  • AES-256 encryption at rest
  • Encrypted database storage

🔑 Access Control

  • Role-based permissions
  • Multi-tenant data isolation
  • Secure API authentication

🔍 Monitoring

  • Real-time security monitoring
  • Audit logging
  • Anomaly detection

☁️ AWS Services

  • Amazon Cognito for authentication
  • Amazon DynamoDB for data storage
  • AWS CloudFront for content delivery

Authentication via Amazon Cognito

We use Amazon Cognito to manage user authentication. Cognito provides:

  • Secure password storage with industry-standard hashing
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) support
  • Secure token-based session management
  • Protection against common attacks (brute force, credential stuffing)

Your password is never stored in plain text. Authentication tokens expire automatically and must be refreshed, limiting the impact of any token compromise.

5. Data Sharing

We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or employee data to third parties.

Limited Sharing

We may share information only in these circumstances:

Recipient Purpose Data Shared
Amazon Web Services Infrastructure hosting, authentication All data (as infrastructure provider)
Your Payroll Provider Timesheet exports (at your request) Hours, wages, PTO as exported
Law Enforcement Legal compliance (if required) As legally required
Business Successors Merger, acquisition, or sale All data (with notice)

6. Data Retention

We retain your data as follows:

  • Active Accounts: Data is retained as long as your account is active
  • After Termination: Data is retained for 90 days after account termination to allow for data export, then deleted
  • Backups: Backup copies may persist for up to 30 additional days
  • Legal Requirements: We may retain data longer if required by law

Important for Employers: Many jurisdictions require you to retain payroll and time records for 3-7 years. LALO HR provides export functionality, but it is your responsibility to maintain records as required by law.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

For All Users

  • Access: Request a copy of your personal data
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention requirements)
  • Export: Export your data in a portable format

For California Residents (CCPA)

California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act:

  • Right to know what personal information we collect
  • Right to delete personal information
  • Right to opt-out of sale of personal information (we do not sell data)
  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights

For Employees

If you're an employee whose data is tracked in LALO HR, your employer is the "data controller" for your employment data. To exercise your rights, contact your employer's HR department first. For questions about how LALO HR processes data, contact us at privacy@lalohr.com.
