What data do we collect and why

In the context of the website, if you contact us through the contact form, we would collect only the information you would have submitted (i.e., your email, your name, your phone number, etc…). We will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us.

For EAMic® and EAMic® Mobile, we would collect your employee code, your name, your phone number, your email address, and your password (in hashed form). This information will be necessary to identify you among other EAMic® and EAMic@ Mobile users when you log in to EAMic® as well as in the records such as work orders. The account is the same between EAMic® and EAMic® Mobile and is created either by ValueApex during the implementation project or by the customer’s system administrator.

EAMic® Mobile allows users to attach pictures, short videos and other files to request or assist in service. The app will ask for permission to access your camera, microphone, gallery, and storage when such needs arise. If you deny the request, you won’t be able to take pictures or videos with the app or upload files directly from your mobile phone to the system.

When a user wants to open files (documents, images, videos, ...) from EAMic® Mobile, it needs to read the list of applications in the user's mobile phone in order to find and launch the suitable application for the file.

The mobile app utilises the accelerometers and gyroscopes embedded in the user’s phone to flip the screen.

If your company chooses to use the Risk module of EAMic®, personal information collected in the system may include education and training records.

In order to receive push notifications, EAMic® Mobile needs to have access to the device's identifiers such as Android ID.

The nature of our product requires true identity from users during the whole course of their activities. Thus, we also need to collect the login event at EAMic® and EAMic® Mobile whether it is successful or not, including your IP and mobile device model. From Mobile 2 on, the record of the device model is also used for troubleshooting and push notifications.

In cases where customers require SSO (single sign-on) to EAMic® or EAMic® Mobile by DingTalk, WeChat Work or other applications, the unique user identifiers used by these will also be collected and used by our products.

Cookies

Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. These are sent to your browser from the websites that you visit and are stored on your device's internal memory.

Cookies are used in EAMic® to store a few personal preferences to improve your experience (i.e., the language used in EAMic®, the background of the homepage, the default number of records to display on some pages, etc…). However, EAMic@ may use third-party code and libraries that use “cookies” to collect information and improve their services. In any case, these cookies would be anonymous.
