Blip / GDPR and security

If you’re clocking in using geolocations (instead of a QR code), Blip will check your device is within the geofence set by your administrator. If you have set reminders on Blip, your device’s location will prompt you to clock out when you leave the geofence. Only the time and date when you clock in and out is stored along with the organisation location that you clocked in or out of. Blip does not track your location.

If you’re using the Geo-location functionality on the app then you’ll need to have the location services on your device enabled. The app will use the location to check if you're inside a geofence so it can allow you to clock in.

When you use the app, the phone checks its current position using location services against the locations your Administrator set up. If your phone is in one of these locations the ‘clock in’ or ‘clock out’ button is tappable.

When you tap ‘clock in’ or ‘clock out’, the location the phone is in at that time is sent to BrightHR. Blip does not share your location with anyone at any other time.

The app has been designed to use as little power as possible when using your camera, location and network.

An internet connection is required to use Blip, this can be via your mobile data 3g, 4g and 5g or by being connected to WiFi.

When you log in to Blip, the locations that have been set up by your Administrator will be geofenced. When the phone enters or leaves these geofenced areas, the phone will prompt you with a push message. Your location is not sent to BrightHR at this time, this message is provided for your convenience.
