5. How We Disclose Information
We do not sell Personal Information in the ordinary meaning of the term, and we do not disclose Personal Information to third parties for their own independent direct marketing purposes without appropriate legal basis or consent where required.
We may disclose information in the following circumstances:
5.1 Service Providers and Contractors
We may disclose information to service providers, contractors, subprocessors, consultants, and vendors that perform services on our behalf or support the operation of the Services, including entities that assist with:
- hosting and infrastructure;
- billing and payment processing;
- authentication and identity management;
- customer support and communications;
- analytics and diagnostics;
- storage, backup, and recovery;

Such parties may receive information only as necessary to perform services for us or on our behalf, subject to contractual, legal, or operational restrictions as applicable.
5.2 Within Your Organization
If you use the Services through an Organization, authorized administrators, managers, supervisors, and designated representatives of that Organization may be able to access, manage, export, review, modify, or delete certain account information, user information, timesheets, time entries, approvals, audit records, and other Content associated with the Organization's workspace, subject to the Organization's internal policies and configuration choices. Supervisors and managers may review and approve, reject, or correct timesheets submitted by employees under their supervision.
Providence Solutions is not responsible for the privacy, employment, monitoring, or internal administrative practices of customer Organizations.
5.3 Legal, Regulatory, and Protective Disclosures
We may disclose information where we determine, in good faith, that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to:
- comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or lawful governmental request (including requests from DCAA or other government auditors with proper authority);
- enforce our agreements, terms, and policies;
- investigate, prevent, or respond to suspected fraud, abuse, security incidents, or unlawful conduct;
- protect the rights, property, safety, or legal interests of Providence Solutions, our users, our customers, or others; or
- support legal process, compliance review, auditing, or dispute resolution.
5.4 Business Transactions
We may disclose or transfer information in connection with any actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing, due diligence review, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy, asset sale, transfer of ownership, or similar corporate transaction. In such circumstances, information may be transferred as a business asset, subject to applicable confidentiality and legal obligations.
5.5 Aggregated or De-Identified Information
We may disclose aggregated, anonymized, de-identified, or otherwise non-identifiable information for lawful business purposes, including analytics, product development, benchmarking, market analysis, service improvement, research, reporting, and strategic planning, provided that such information cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual.
6. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law or by contract.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, the context in which it was collected, the sensitivity of the information, contractual requirements, legal obligations, security needs, and legitimate business interests. Timesheet records, approvals, certifications, and related audit trails are typically retained for the period required by U.S. federal contracting and DCAA-Compliant timekeeping requirements, which generally calls for a minimum of three years following final payment under a contract, and longer in certain circumstances.
We may retain information for purposes such as:
- maintaining active customer accounts and service delivery;
- preserving business and transactional records;
- meeting tax, accounting, contract administration, and legal compliance requirements;
- preserving DCAA-Compliant audit trails on timekeeping records;
- maintaining backup, archival, and disaster recovery systems;
- protecting against fraud, misuse, or unauthorized access;
- investigating or resolving disputes, complaints, or claims;
- enforcing agreements and protecting legal rights; and
- supporting internal auditing, security review, and operational continuity.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we will take commercially reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, de-identify, archive, or otherwise render it unusable in accordance with our retention practices and applicable law. Please note that residual copies of information may remain in backup systems for a limited period of time as part of routine backup and recovery operations.
7. Data Security
We implement and maintain administrative, technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure, alteration, misuse, destruction, or loss.
These safeguards may include, as appropriate:
- access controls and permission restrictions, including role-based access controls;
- authentication controls and account security measures, including multi-factor authentication;
- encryption or equivalent protective measures for data in transit and, where appropriate, at rest;
- network segmentation, firewalls, logging, monitoring, and alerting;
- secure software development and change management practices;
- personnel access limitations and confidentiality expectations;
- vulnerability management and remediation measures;
- backup and recovery controls; and
- other reasonable security practices appropriate to the nature of the Services.
However, no security measure is infallible, and no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, while we strive to protect information using reasonable safeguards, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Multi-Tenant Environment and Data Segregation
ProvidTime operates in a multi-tenant or shared infrastructure environment in which multiple customer Organizations use the Services on common underlying systems.
We maintain safeguards designed to logically separate customer environments, restrict cross-tenant access, and preserve customer confidentiality. These safeguards include row-level database isolation, tenant-aware access controls, application-layer permission enforcement, logical data partitioning, auditing, and other internal controls designed to limit unauthorized access between Organizations.
Notwithstanding these safeguards, customers remain responsible for managing their own internal access permissions, authorized users, supervisor and approver designations, and account administration within their Organization's environment.
9. Product Functionality, Automation, and Service Enhancement
The Services include automated, algorithmic, analytical, or other functionality that processes Content and user inputs in order to support timekeeping, generate reports, calculate balances, enforce policies, surface notifications, and produce other service features.
In providing and improving these features, we may use certain information, including submitted Content, account context, usage information, configuration data, and related inputs, for the purpose of:
- providing requested functionality and platform output;
- calculating time off accruals, balances, and rollover behavior;
- generating reports, summaries, audit views, and compliance evidence;
- improving service quality, relevance, structure, and performance;
- enhancing feature accuracy, usability, and workflow effectiveness;
- tuning, testing, validating, or refining internal service behavior, controls, and product capabilities, where permitted by law and contract;
- diagnosing errors, failures, edge cases, or misuse patterns; and
- supporting internal product development, service administration, and customer experience improvement.
Users remain responsible for reviewing and validating outputs generated through the Services before relying on or using them for business, contractual, legal, regulatory, or submission purposes.
10. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction and the nature of your relationship with us, you may have certain rights regarding your Personal Information, subject to verification, applicable exceptions, and legal limitations.
These rights may include:
- the right to request access to certain Personal Information we hold about you;
- the right to request correction of inaccurate Personal Information;
- the right to request deletion of certain Personal Information;
- the right to request restriction of or object to certain processing activities;
- the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- the right to data portability where required by law; and
- the right not to be discriminated against for exercising applicable privacy rights.
If you access the Services through an Organization, certain requests relating to Content or Organization-controlled data — including timesheets, time entries, approvals, and audit records — may need to be directed to your Organization administrator first, as the Organization may control the relevant workspace, account, or data environment. Additionally, certain timekeeping records may be subject to mandatory retention obligations under federal contracting rules and may not be eligible for deletion until those obligations have expired.
We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before processing a privacy rights request. We may also deny or limit requests where permitted by law, including where the request cannot be verified, where an exception applies, where compliance would impair the rights of others, or where the data is subject to legal or contractual retention obligations.
To exercise applicable rights, you may contact us using the contact information listed below.
11. California Privacy Notice
If you are a California resident, you may have rights under applicable California privacy laws, including the right to know, access, correct, delete, and request information regarding certain categories of Personal Information collected, used, disclosed, or retained by us, subject to exceptions and verification requirements.
We may collect the following broad categories of Personal Information, depending on how you interact with the Services:
- identifiers and contact information;
- customer records and billing-related information;
- commercial or transaction information;
- internet, network, and device activity information;
- professional or employment-related information;
- account credentials and authentication-related information;
- timesheet entries, work descriptions, and related Content; and
- inferences derived from the foregoing in connection with operation and improvement of the Services.
We collect and use such information for business and commercial purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including service delivery, account administration, security, communications, legal compliance, internal analytics, and product enhancement.
We do not sell Personal Information in the ordinary meaning of that term. We also do not knowingly share Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
California residents may submit privacy requests using the contact information provided below.
12. International Users
If you access the Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where we or our service providers operate.
These jurisdictions may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate measures designed to provide lawful safeguards for cross-border transfers of Personal Information.
If applicable law grants you additional privacy rights, we will honor such rights to the extent required by law, subject to verification and lawful limitations.

These technologies may be used for purposes such as:

- measuring performance and diagnosing service issues;

The Services may reference, integrate with, or contain links to third-party services, websites, software, tools, or content not owned or controlled by Providence Solutions (including, where applicable, identity providers, email delivery services, payment processors, and infrastructure providers). We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, availability, or practices of third parties.
Your interactions with third-party services are governed by the applicable terms and privacy policies of those third parties, and we encourage you to review them carefully.
15. Children's Privacy
The Services are intended for business and professional use and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information directly from children under the age required by applicable law for independent consent.
If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we will take commercially reasonable steps to delete such information.
16. Data Breach and Security Incident Response
We maintain internal processes designed to detect, assess, contain, investigate, and respond to suspected security incidents affecting the Services.
If we determine that a security incident has resulted in unauthorized access to, or acquisition of, Personal Information and notification is required by applicable law, we will provide notice in accordance with applicable legal requirements and within the timeframes required by law.
17. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update or revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, legal obligations, operational practices, security measures, or business needs.
When we make material changes, we may update the "Last Updated" date above and provide additional notice as appropriate under the circumstances, such as by posting a notice through the Services or sending an email notification where required or appropriate.
Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes acknowledgment of the revised Privacy Policy to the extent permitted by law.
