About Zoho People

Zoho People is an online Human Resource Management System (HRMS) designed to manage and access all your employee data from a centralized location. Zoho People also provides a mobile application on the iOS and Android to facilitate employee self-service and easy access to everyday HR tasks.

Some features of the app includes recording employee attendance through check-in/check-out features, facial recognition for attendance, time tracking, performance metrics like goals and KRAs, LMS, and more.

Information entrusted to Zoho People

We process the information that you entrust to us in accordance with Part II of Zoho's Privacy Policy.

Information processed for facial recognition feature

The option for facial recognition-based check-in/check-out is available to users whose organization has enabled this configuration. If you choose to use the facial recognition feature, the following information will be processed by us:

Image: When you use facial recognition feature, you collect images of your employees who mark their attendance through this feature. The image collected is used to verify with employees' original profile image stored in Zoho People. Once the verification is completed, the image is either permanently deleted from our servers or if the organization admin has enabled "Capture and save photo", then the image is saved.

Location: We will fetch location details based on the organization's settings. By default, location details will not be collected. However, admin can enable location option if location access is needed for attendance punches.

Admins will be able to access all employees' images and attendance entries while reporting managers will only be able to access their subordinate's images and attendance entries on the Zoho People application.
