Location Permissions

The UPA mobile app requires location permissions to deliver essential features related to user attendance tracking and verification.

UPA Mobile Function for Location Permissions

Function Name: User Attendance & Location-Based Check-In and Check-Out report

How the Function Works:

  1. When a user initiates an attendance-related action, such as checking in or out for a scheduled shift, the app captures the device's location. This ensures that the user is within an authorized area, such as a workplace or designated location, during the check-in process.

Main Purpose:

The primary purpose of accessing location data is to ensure accurate attendance records by verifying the user's location at the time of check-in and check-out, providing a secure and efficient attendance process.

  1. Location Verification: To confirm that the user is within the approved area for attendance check-in and check-out.
  2. Real-Time Attendance: To capture the user’s exact location in real time during the attendance process, ensuring validity.

User Consent

Users must grant location permissions for the UPA app to access and utilize location data for the functionalities described above. Without these permissions, the app may not function as intended for attendance tracking. These permission declarations in the Android manifest file are used to enable location services and background processes in an app. Here’s a breakdown of each:

  1. android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: This permission allows the app to access the device's approximate location based on network sources like cell towers and Wi-Fi. It provides a less accurate but faster and battery-efficient location than GPS.
  2. android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION: This permission allows the app to access location data even when it is running in the background (not actively being used by the user). This is crucial for features like tracking user attendance or geofencing, which might need to function while the app is not open.
  3. android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE: This permission enables the app to start a foreground service, which can continue running even when the user is not actively interacting with the app. Foreground services are used for tasks like location tracking in real time or maintaining a stable connection to other services while ensuring that the user is aware that the app is running (usually with a notification).

These permissions are necessary for apps that need to provide location-based services, especially in scenarios where continuous or background location tracking is required.

Security and Privacy

All location data accessed by the app is strictly used for the purposes mentioned and is not shared, sold, or used for any other reasons. UPA ensures that all location data is securely processed, stored only for as long as necessary to meet attendance verification requirements, and protected against unauthorized access.
