Introduction
Angus Systems Group, Ltd. (“Company”, “We”, “Us” and similar terms) respects your privacy and takes steps to protect it through our compliance with this Mobile App Privacy Policy (the “Policy”). This Policy describes:
- The types of personal information collected, accessed, used, or otherwise processed by the Mobile App (the “App”);
- Our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that personal information; and
- How information is shared, including (without limitation) with your employer (“Employer”) in connection with your potential attendance at your workplace or other property or premises you may visit in connection with your employment (collectively “Establishments”).
This Policy applies only to information about identifiable individuals (“personal information”), which We collect in this App and other electronic communications sent through or in connection with this App.
This Policy does not apply to information that:
- We collect offline or on any other Company apps or websites, including websites you may access through this App.
- You provide to, or is collected by, any third-party (including your Employer).
- Information that is not about an identifiable individual, where there is no serious possibility that an individual could be identified through the use of that information, alone or in combination with other information.
Our websites, our other apps, and other third-parties may have their own privacy policies, which We encourage you to read before providing information on or through them.
Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding personal information and how We will handle it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not download, register with, or use this App. By downloading, registering with, or using this App, you agree to this Policy. This Policy may change from time to time (see Changes to our Privacy Policy). Your continued use of this App after We revise this Policy means you accept those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.
Users Under the Age of 18
The App is not intended for use by individuals under 18 years of age, and We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18. If We learn we have collected or received personal information from a user under 18 without verification of parental consent, We will delete that information.

We collect information from and about users of our App, on behalf of your Employer, as follows:

Information You Provide to Us
When you download, register with, or use this App, We may ask you to provide certain information, including your name, email address, phone number, employer name, and office address.
Health Questionnaire Information
Each day that you wish to enter a participating Establishment, the App will ask you questions that will assist in determining if you are presenting risk factors that may prohibit you from entering that Establishment (“Health Questionnaire”). These questions will relate to risk factors associated with contagious illnesses. Accordingly, some personal health information will be collected via the App.

- Perform contact tracing and exposure notifications if required or requested by your Employer.
Disclosure of Your Information
We will disclose your personal information to your Employer, for the purposes of providing our services.

We are not responsible for the actions or omissions of your Employer, including for any use or disclosure of your personal information (or failure to protect your personal information) by your Employer. If you have any questions regarding how your information will be handled by your Employer, you should contact your Employer directly.

Your California Privacy Rights
California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our App that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We will not use the information obtained from this App for those purposes.
Data Security
We have implemented measures designed to secure personal information from theft, accidental loss, and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All personal information that you provide to Us, or that We otherwise collect in connection with the App, is encrypted and stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.
The safety and security of the information also depends on you. Where We have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our App, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential and secure. We recommend that you choose a secure password, and We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure. Although We endeavour to protect the information that is provided to Us, We cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted through our App. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures We implement.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. If We make material changes to how We handle the personal information, We will post the new privacy policy on this page with a notice that the Policy has been updated.
