Data protection
Your attendance data stays on your device — we don’t collect or store it on our servers, and we don’t store, read or use your staff attendance records. No biometric data is collected. Your business remains responsible for its own employee data and UK GDPR obligations; this is not legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free clocking-in app for UK staff?
Free QR Attendance offers a free version QR clocking-in workflow usable in the UK.
Does it store fingerprints?
No. It uses QR codes only.
Where is my attendance data stored?
Your attendance data stays on your device — we don't collect or store it on our servers. Your employee directory, attendance history, leave records and reports are kept on your own device. If you use companion stations or the employee portal, scans, leave requests and a recent-attendance snapshot travel through our server encrypted and expire automatically; they are never used to build a cloud attendance database.
Are there any limits on the free version?
No. Free means free: no employee limits, no scan or usage caps, no trial and no paid tier.
