Privacy Policy
Way2Orbit is committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we use your data.
Way2Orbit ("we", "our", "us") operates a cloud telephony and workforce management platform, including the Way2Orbit mobile application available on the Google Play Store. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, share and protect your personal information when you use our website, platform and mobile application.

This policy is designed to meet the requirements of the Google Play Store Developer Policy, applicable Indian data protection regulations and international data privacy standards.
We collect the following categories of information depending on how you use our services:

| Media | Photos captured via camera for attendance/docs | Device camera (with permission) |
| Usage Data | App screens visited, features used, error logs | Collected automatically |
The Way2Orbit mobile application requests the following device permissions. Each permission is requested only when the relevant feature is used, and users are informed at the point of request. You may deny or revoke permissions at any time through your device settings — though doing so may limit application functionality.
Required for VoIP/SIP calls placed through the application.
Required for callsRequired to play call audio and IVR prompts during voice calls.

Feature-basedUsed for check-in geo-verification when the app is open.
Required for attendanceTracks field staff movement even when the screen is off, for employer workforce monitoring.
Required for trackingDetects incoming calls to pause app audio and avoid call conflicts.
OptionalAndroid permission: RECORD_AUDIO — classified as Dangerous Permission requiring explicit user consent.
The Way2Orbit application requests access to your device's microphone to enable voice communication features:
- Making and receiving VoIP/SIP telephone calls through the integrated softphone
- Two-way audio during business calls routed through our Asterisk platform
- Audio prompts and IVR interaction during calls
What we do NOT do with microphone access:
- We do not record audio in the background outside of active calls
- We do not listen to conversations without an active call session
- We do not use microphone access for advertising or profiling
Call recordings — where enabled by the employer organization — are stored securely and accessible only to authorized administrators of that organization.
You may revoke microphone permission at any time via Settings → Apps → Way2Orbit → Permissions → Microphone. Revoking this permission will disable the calling feature.
Android permission: CAMERA — classified as Dangerous Permission requiring explicit user consent.
The Way2Orbit application requests camera access for the following purposes:
- Selfie Attendance: Employees may be required to take a photo at check-in or check-out to verify physical presence at a location
- Document Capture: Photographing work-related documents, installation photos, or site evidence for field operations
- Profile Photo: Optional capture of a user's profile image
What we do NOT do with camera access:
- We do not access the camera in the background without your knowledge
- We do not capture images without an explicit user action (button tap)
- We do not use camera images for facial recognition or biometric identification
- We do not sell or share camera images to third parties
Images captured are stored securely and accessible only to authorized administrators of the employer organization. Attendance photos are retained as configured by the employer organization.
You may revoke camera permission at any time via Settings → Apps → Way2Orbit → Permissions → Camera.
Android permissions: ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION — classified as Dangerous Permissions requiring explicit user consent.
The Way2Orbit application collects precise location data when the app is open and in the foreground for the following purposes:
- Geo-Fence Attendance: Verify that the employee is physically present within an approved work location at check-in/check-out
- Field Task Assignment: Match tasks to the nearest available field engineer
- Route Verification: Confirm that field staff are visiting customer sites as scheduled
- Workforce Safety: Enable emergency location sharing for field employees
Location data collected in foreground is:
- Linked to the authenticated employee account
- Transmitted securely over HTTPS to Way2Orbit servers
- Accessible only to the authorized employer organization's administrators
- Not sold or shared with third parties for advertising purposes
Sensitive Permission: Android permission ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION requires a separate explicit consent dialog on Android 10+ and special justification for Google Play Store approval.
The Way2Orbit application collects location data even when the app is closed or not in use (background location). This is a core feature of our employee field tracking module and is used exclusively for the following legitimate workforce management purposes:
- Continuous real-time GPS tracking of field staff during working hours
- Route history and movement logs for work shift verification
- Automated geo-fence entry and exit detection for client sites
- Live location sharing with supervisors and operations teams during active work shifts
- Time-stamped location evidence for field service reports
Important: Background location tracking is enabled and configured only by the employer organization that has deployed Way2Orbit. This feature is not activated by default. Employees are explicitly informed by their employer that background location tracking is in use. The application displays an ongoing notification in the device status bar whenever background location collection is active.
Employee consent and transparency:
- The application presents a clear permission dialog explaining background location use before requesting consent
- Employees must explicitly grant "Allow all the time" location permission for background tracking to function
- A persistent notification remains visible whenever background tracking is running
- Employees can revoke background location access at any time via Settings → Apps → Way2Orbit → Permissions → Location → Allow only while using the app
- Revoking background location will disable real-time tracking features but will not affect other app functions
Background location data is NOT used for:
- Advertising, marketing or profiling unrelated to employment
- Tracking employees outside of employer-configured working hours (where configured)
- Sharing with third-party advertisers, data brokers or analytics companies
- Any purpose beyond the employer workforce management listed above
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Providing, operating and maintaining the Way2Orbit telephony and workforce platform
- Processing VoIP calls and routing them through our Asterisk infrastructure
- Enabling employee attendance, geo-fence check-in and field tracking features
- Generating call detail records (CDRs), attendance reports and operational analytics for employers
- Monitoring system health, detecting errors and improving platform reliability
