Data protection

Tracking attendance without watching people.

Pontualy collects only what is needed, in line with the GDPR and the Portuguese data protection authority (CNPD).

Location only when clocking in

If enabled, it is checked only at the moment of clocking in. There is no continuous tracking.

Optional biometrics

Cards and PINs cover most cases without biometric data.

Separation by company

Within a group, each company's data stays separate, and each person sees only what their role requires.

Frequently asked questions

Do small companies also have to record working time?

Yes. The obligation in art. 202 of the Labour Code applies to every employer, whatever its size.

Is a signed paper sheet enough?

It can be, but it is hard to keep accurate, to store for five years and to produce quickly during an inspection.

What happens if the inspectorate asks for the records?

Export the requested period in a few minutes, by company, store or employee.

Can I use the phone's location?

Only under limited conditions and in a proportionate way. That's why in Pontualy it is optional and limited to the moment of clocking in.
