Smart Dawam — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 1, 2026

Smart Dawam ("the App", "we", "us") is a workplace attendance system used by organizations to record their employees' check-in and check-out. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it — with special attention to face (biometric) data.

1. Biometric / Face Data

What we collect

When an employee performs an attendance check-in or check-out, the App captures a single still facial photo using the device's front camera. In addition, on-device processing (Apple's Vision framework) is used only momentarily to confirm that a live face is present and to perform liveness detection (a blink or a slight head turn) to prevent photo spoofing. This on-device liveness data is never stored and never leaves the device.

How we use it

The facial photo is used for one purpose only: to verify the employee's identity so that their workplace attendance can be recorded accurately. It is never used for advertising, profiling, marketing, or tracking.

Sharing

Face data is never sold or shared with any third party. The App contains no third-party advertising, analytics, or tracking SDKs. The facial photo is transmitted only to your organization's own Smart Dawam server over an encrypted HTTPS/TLS connection.

Storage

The App does not store any facial photo on the device; the image exists only briefly in memory during the verification request and is then discarded. On the server, face data is stored solely on Smart Dawam's secure backend and is protected by access controls and encryption in transit.

Retention

Face data is retained only for as long as it is needed to provide the attendance service for the employee. It is deleted when the employee is removed from the organization, when the organization's account is closed, or upon a verified deletion request — whichever comes first.

Your rights

Employees may request access to, or deletion of, their face data at any time by contacting their organization's administrator or us at the address below.

2. Other Data We Collect

We do not collect this data for advertising and do not share it with third parties.

3. Data Security

All data is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections. Arbitrary (non-secure) network loads are disabled in the App.

4. Children

Smart Dawam is intended for use by employees of subscribing organizations and is not directed at children.

5. Changes

We may update this policy and will revise the "Last updated" date above.
