You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account.  You agree not to share your password with anyone else, and that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords associated with any account you use to access the Portal, including if accessing this Portal using a mobile application.  If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account, you agree to notify the Company immediately at wisconnect_support@wisintl.com

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR CHARGES

If you are using the Portal on a mobile device without Wi-Fi, remember that your terms of agreement with your mobile network provider will apply.  As a result, you may be charged by your mobile provider for the cost of data for the duration of the connection while accessing the Portal, or other third-party charges.  Remember, use of the Portal is completely voluntary, and you accept responsibility for any charges, including roaming data charges incurred when the Portal is used outside of your home territory (i.e., region or country) without turning off data roaming.  You should check with your mobile device carrier to find out whether any fees or charges will apply, what plans are available, how much they will cost, and any other related questions you may have.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR MOBILE DEVICE

You must ensure that you have a compatible mobile device and that you download the correct Portal application version for your device, including the latest updates.

INFORMATION POSTED TO PORTAL

By posting, uploading, inputting, providing or submitting materials to the Portal (including feedback and suggestions) (collectively “Submissions”), you are granting the Company and its partners permission to use your Submission in connection with the operation of its businesses including, without limitation, the right to copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, translate and reformat your Submission.  No compensation will be paid for the use of your Submission.  The Company is not obligated to post or use any Submission, and the Company may remove any Submission at any time in its sole discretion. By posting, uploading, inputting, providing or submitting your Submission, you warrant and represent that you own, or otherwise control, all of the rights to your Submission as described in this section including, without limitation, all the rights necessary for you to provide, post, upload, input or submit the Submissions.

EMPLOYEE DATA

Some sections of the Portal may allow you to submit information related to your employment. This information, as well as additional information captured by Portal during its use, are referred to as “Employee Data.” Employee Data may include, but is not limited to, the following: name and physical address, email address, phone numbers, badge number, unique identifiers such as cookies placed on your computer or mobile device, your work location, scheduling information, time keeping data, employee identification or government identification numbers, internet protocol address and information about your devices such as internet transfer protocol signals, browser or device type, operating system, user-agent strings and information about other apps on your mobile device and behavioral data about your usage of the Portal or other sites.

You are responsible for ensuring that no one else uses the Portal (especially any mobile application version) to enter or access Employee Data within your account. You are responsible for any Employee Data entered by an unauthorized person, and may be subject to discipline, up to and including termination of your employment, for the entry of Employee Data by anyone other than you. While the Portal processes your Employee Data, including timekeeping data, it is your responsibility to ensure the transmitted information is accurate. Additionally, you are responsible for confirming that the downloaded timekeeping data matches what appears on your statement of earnings.

The Portal stores and processes Employee Data that you enter. The information will be downloaded to, and stored on, a server maintained by the Company, and used for Company operations, including, but not limited to, scheduling and work availability, transportation facilitation, payroll processing, financial analysis, and to conduct investigations and defend litigation.

The Company will treat the Employee Data as confidential and limit internal access to employees with a need to know, such as employees who perform human resources, finance, legal, information technology functions, as well as employees involved in transportation administration and for purposes of event supervision.

The Company may disclose Employee Data as permitted or required by applicable law. The Company will apply reasonable and appropriate physical, technical and administrative safeguards for Employee Data to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
