Mobile apps

Ask three questions. Will people use it every day? Do they need the camera, location or sensors? Do they work where there is no signal? If all three answers are no, a mobile-friendly website will be cheaper to build and to run, and no app store gets a say.

Article 90 of Spain's LOPDGDD allows geolocation at work as long as staff have first been told in an express, clear and unambiguous way. In the app we restrict tracking to working hours and one stated purpose, show it on screen and keep the data for as short a time as possible. Informing employees, the record of processing and any impact assessment are for your company and your DPO.

Yes, that is a common feature. The app can record clock-in and clock-out with date, time and, if you choose, location, and pass them to your payroll software or to Factorial. How the register is designed and how long it is kept must match employment law and whatever has been agreed with staff.

Apple and Google ship new versions every year and change their rules. At the very least the app needs reviewing, libraries updating and a new release several times a year. This is charged at €75 per hour + VAT, or through a monthly allowance if you also want to keep adding features.

For public administration services, sign-in with Cl@ve or an FNMT digital certificate is feasible, and we integrate it according to that system's technical requirements. For private businesses we use dedicated accounts with two-factor authentication where the risk calls for it.
