Timelo Home

Privacy Policy

Last updated 18 August 2026. Effective from that date.

Timelo is a product of Blue Wind (bwnd). This page says what we collect, who can see it — including who inside your own company can see it, which is the part people actually want to know — who we share it with, and how to get it deleted. There is no analytics, no advertising and no tracking on this site or in the app.

1. The short version

2. Who is responsible for your data

Blue Wind (bwnd) operates Timelo and is the controller of your account data — your name, email and sign-in records.

For the work data inside a company — the schedule, hours, time off and notices — the company that signed up is the controller and Blue Wind is its processor. In plain terms: your employer decides what goes in and who sees it, and we hold it and run the software on their behalf. If you are crew and want your hours changed or removed, ask your manager first; if that goes nowhere, write to us.

3. What we collect

We collect only what the product needs to work. There is no hidden profiling layer.

WhatSpecificallyWhere it comes from
Account Name, email address, password (stored only as a scrypt hash — we never hold the password itself), your role (manager or crew), the company you belong to, when you signed up, and when you last signed in. You, at signup — or your manager, if they invited you by email.
Company Company name, time zone, and the join code used to add crew. The manager who created it.
Work data Jobs, client names, site addresses, visits and their times, who is assigned to each visit, reported hours and their approval status, and booked time off. Managers and crew, as they use the app.
Notices The notice text, and — for a must-read notice — which person confirmed reading it and the time they confirmed. Managers post them; crew generate the confirmations.
Invitations The invited email address, the role offered, and a hashed invite token. Never the raw token: it exists only inside the link we email. The manager sending the invite.
Session A hashed session token, its expiry, and the browser user-agent string recorded when the session was created. Generated when you sign in.
Server logs Ordinary web-server records — IP address, timestamp, requested URL, status code — kept briefly for security and debugging. Generated automatically by the hosting platform.

We do not collect location or GPS data. Timelo records the times a person reported, not where their phone was. We do not collect payment details, because we do not currently take payments. We do not ask for date of birth, national insurance or social security numbers, or any other identity document.

4. Who can see it inside your company

This is the part that matters most day to day, so it is spelled out rather than implied.

A read confirmation is deliberately visible to your manager — that is the feature. If you confirm a notice, your manager will see that you did and when.

5. Cookies

Timelo sets one cookie. It is strictly necessary, so there is no cookie banner to click through — there is nothing optional to consent to.

CookiePurposeLifetime
jobclock_session Keeps you signed in. It holds a random token and nothing else — no name, no email, no readable content. The server stores only a SHA-256 hash of it, so a copy of our database yields no usable sessions. 12 hours, or 30 days if you tick “remember me”. Signing out deletes it immediately, on your device and on the server.

There are no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, and no third-party scripts on this website or in the app. Nothing loads from an ad network, a tag manager or a social network.

6. Why we hold it

PurposeBasis
Running the service — signing you in, showing the schedule, recording hours, delivering notices.Performance of the contract with you or your company.
Sending service email — invitations, and messages about your account.Performance of the contract.
Keeping the service secure, preventing abuse, and fixing faults.Our legitimate interest in a service that works and is not attacked.
Meeting a legal obligation, if one applies to us.Legal obligation.

We do not do marketing email. If we ever want to, we will ask first, and it will be easy to say no.

7. Who we share it with

We do not sell personal data, we do not rent it, and we do not share it for advertising. We share it only with the services needed to run Timelo:

These providers act on our instructions and are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.

8. How long we keep it

When an account or a company is deleted, the associated data is removed from the live database. Backups roll over on their own schedule, so a copy may persist there for a short time before it ages out.

9. How it is protected

No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your data, we will tell you and the relevant regulator as quickly as we reasonably can.

10. Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

Email [email protected] from the address on your account and we will respond within 30 days. There is no charge.

If you are crew: your work data belongs to your company's records, so a request to delete hours or a schedule generally has to go to your manager. We will help you reach them, and we will act ourselves where the law says we must.

US residents. Several states — including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and others — grant rights to know, delete, correct and port personal information, and to opt out of its sale or of targeted advertising. We honour these for everyone, not only for residents of those states. We have no sale or targeted advertising to opt out of: we do neither.

UK and EU residents. You have the rights above under UK/EU GDPR, and you may complain to your national data protection authority — in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office.

We will never discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

11. Children

Timelo is a tool for workplaces and is not intended for children. Do not create an account for anyone under 16. If we learn that we hold data about a child under 16, we will delete it.

12. Where your data is held

Timelo is operated from Idaho, United States, and your data is processed in the United States. If you are using it from outside the US, that means your data is transferred to and stored in a country whose data protection law may differ from your own. Where a transfer out of the UK or EEA is involved, we rely on the standard contractual clauses approved for that purpose.

13. Changes to this policy

We will update this page when what we do changes. The “last updated” date at the top always reflects the current version. For a change that materially affects how we handle your data, we will give notice by email or in the app before it takes effect.
