Privacy policy
TPS Employee is a workplace app for authorized Transformer Power Services personnel. This notice explains the information used by the app and the choices available to you.
Effective date: September 21, 2026.
Information used by the app
- Account and work information: your name, email, account and employee identifiers, role, assigned project, schedule, and check-in and check-out records.
- Location: coordinates and available accuracy information associated with check-ins, Stops, and location samples during active Work or Driving shifts. Depending on your device settings, location may be precise or approximate.
- Submitted content: photos, receipts, expense descriptions and amounts, receipt payment-card details such as the last four digits, and other project or work information you submit.
- Operational records: authentication and action audit events, request identifiers, app or browser and operating-system information, and error details used to secure and troubleshoot the service. The iPhone app also uses a random installation identifier and queue recovery status linked to your employee account to direct recovery requests to the correct installation.
Why this information is used
The app uses this information to authenticate users, show the appropriate work context, record attendance and activity, review expenses and submitted evidence, coordinate schedules, maintain audit records, and diagnose errors. These records are linked to the relevant employee and project.
Location while working
On iPhone, the app explains location use before requesting permission. It requests a point when needed for a check-in or Stop and samples location approximately every 30 minutes during an active Work or Driving shift, including in the background when permitted by iOS. Background timing depends on the operating system. Tracking is stopped when the shift is stopped locally; already saved points may upload later when a connection is available.
You can change Location and Precise Location permissions in device settings. Location-dependent actions may not work without the necessary permission. Do not leave a shift running after finishing work.
Photos and receipt scanning
The app accesses a camera or selected file when you use a feature that needs an image. Images are prepared for upload to reduce transfer size when supported. If you choose receipt scanning, the image and extraction instructions are sent to Google Gemini to identify expense fields. Review the extracted information before saving it. Avoid including unrelated personal or confidential information in submissions.
Service providers and access
TPS administrators can access work records as permitted by their role. The service uses Vercel for the web application, Xano for backend records and some file storage, Cloudflare R2 for supported file-storage flows, and Google Gemini for requested receipt extraction. Information necessary for those features is processed by the corresponding providers. The app does not integrate advertising SDKs or cross-app advertising tracking.
Information kept on your device
The app uses a session cookie for authentication. The iPhone app also stores the loaded employee context, pending offline events and their evidence in app-private storage. Events needing office review are held separately so they do not block new records, and are not automatically sent again. Their original evidence stays on the device even when an administrator assigns them to manual entry. Removing the app or clearing its data can remove unsynced information and locally held evidence.
Saved iPhone login credentials use Apple Keychain. Face ID or Touch ID verifies you through iOS; TPS does not receive your face, fingerprint, or biometric template.
Retention and requests about your information
Signing out or uninstalling the app does not delete work records already saved to TPS. Retention and deletion of those records depend on the record type and applicable workplace and legal requirements. Contact TPS to ask about access, correction, retention, account closure, or deletion. Some work records may need to be retained even after app access ends.
This app does not offer public self-registration. TPS administrators provision employee accounts. It is not intended for children.
Contact and updates
For privacy questions, contact Transformer Power Services at sales@tpsbsp.com or through your TPS administrator. Technical help is available on the support page.
This notice may be updated as the app or its information practices change. The effective date above identifies the current notice.
