Construction runs on 2–3% margins. Ten minutes of untracked time per worker, per day — a late start, a long break, an early finish — quietly adds up to $260,000 in unearned payroll on a $5M project. Paper sign-in never catches it.
ralco.ai does, and pays for itself in 12 minutes per employee per month.
From the moment your first worker clocks in, you have live visibility — who's on site, who's pre-shift, and who's missing. No clipboard. No radio call. Just open the app.
Ralco is completely document agnostic. Upload or build any form — JHAs, pre-task plans, toolbox talks, incident reports, or custom checklists. Workers sign straight from the mobile app before they start.
We've built native modules for payroll reporting — on top of CheckHQ's battle-tested payroll infrastructure. Every piece, automated.
Ask anything about your site in plain English. Ralco AI knows every worker, every credential, every floor — and responds instantly with accurate, live data.
Standard GPS stops at the building door. ralco goes further — with floor-by-floor vertical tracking, you know exactly where every worker is in real time.
Just 10 minutes a day per worker — a slow hoist ride up, a late clock-in, a coffee before the first punch — sounds harmless. But 10 minutes out of an 8-hour shift is 2% of your entire payroll, paid for work that never happened. Pair that with undocumented injury claims pushing your GL premium into a higher load tier, and paper is costing you far more than you think.
"By the time the hoist hits the top floor, half the crew has clocked in from the lobby. Nobody questioned it — until we started using RALCO and saw exactly when and where every punch was happening."

RALCO PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: February 1, 2026
1. Introduction
Ralco Compliance Limited (“RALCO,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a company incorporated in Ireland (company number 759312) with its registered office at 17 Percy Place, Dublin 4, D04 V250, Ireland. RALCO is the parent company of Ralco Inc., a Delaware corporation. RALCO operates the RALCO platform, including the website at https://ralco.io and the RALCO Worker mobile application (collectively, the “Service”). RALCO provides workforce management solutions to construction companies and other businesses (our “Customers”). If you are an employee or worker of one of our Customers who uses the RALCO Worker app, you are an “End User” of our Service.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use our Service. It applies to both Customers and End Users. If you are an End User, please note that your employer (our Customer) may have its own privacy policy that also applies to you, and your employer controls certain decisions about how your data is used within the Service.
Important:We collect biometric information, including facial recognition data and electronic signatures. Please read Section 4 carefully and review our separate Biometric Information Privacy Policy for detailed information about how we handle biometric data.
2. Data Controller and Processor Roles
Because RALCO is established in Ireland, the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) applies to our processing of personal data by virtue of Article 3(1), even though the personal data we process relates primarily to individuals located in the United States and is stored on servers in the United States.
The roles of the parties with respect to personal data are as follows:
• Your employer (our Customer)is the data controller. Your employer decides why and how your personal data is processed through the Service — for example, for time tracking, workforce compliance, and payroll purposes.
• RALCOisthedata processor. We process personal data on behalf of ourCustomersin accordance with their instructions and our Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”). A copy of our standard DPA is available on request.
• Amazon Web Services (AWS)is a sub-processor. AWS provides the cloud infrastructure on which the Service operates, located in the United States (Northern Virginia region).
In certain limited circumstances, RALCO acts as an independent data controller — for example, when we process data for our own account management, billing, product improvement, legal compliance, and security purposes.
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Information Provided by Customers
When a Customer registers for and uses the Service, we collect: account registration information (company name, contact name, email address, phone number, billing address); payment information (processed by our payment processor Stripe — we do not store credit card numbers); and information about End Users that the Customer adds to the platform (such as names, job roles, and contact information).
3.2 Information Provided by End Users
When End Users use the RALCO Worker app, wecollect:account credentials and profile information; biometric information, including facial scans used for identity verification at clock-in and clock-out, and electronic signatures (see Section 4 and our Biometric Information Privacy Policy); and time and attendance records.
3.3 Information Collected Automatically
Usage Data:When you use the Service, we automatically collect information about your device and usage, including IP address, browser type, device type and identifiers, operating system, pages visited, and interaction data.
Location Data:The RALCO Worker app collects location data at the time of clock-in and clock-out to verify work site attendance. We do not continuously track End User location. Location services can be managed through your device settings, though disabling location may prevent you from using certain features of the Service.
Cookies and Similar Technologies:We use cookies (session cookies, preference cookies, and security cookies) and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Service. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling cookies may affect Service functionality.
4. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)
Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on the following legal bases:
• Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)):Processing necessary to provide the Service under our agreement with the Customer.
• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)):Processing for product improvement, security, fraud prevention, and analytics, where those interests are not overridden by the data subject’s rights. Our legitimate interest assessment is available on request.
• Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)):Processing necessary to comply with applicable laws, including employment recordkeeping requirements and tax obligations.
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a)):Where required, including for the collection and processing of biometric data. Consent for biometric data is obtained through the clickwrap mechanism at first use of the RALCO Worker app. Consent may be withdrawn at any time, though withdrawal may affect your ability to use certain features of the Service.
Special category data (Article 9):Biometric data used for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person constitutes special category data under Article 9 of the GDPR. We process this dataon the basis ofexplicit consent (Article 9(2)(a)), obtained via the clickwrap consent flow.
5. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to: provide, maintain, and improve the Service; process transactions and send related information; verify End User identity through biometric authentication; provide time, attendance, and workforce management functionality to Customers; send technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages; respond to comments, questions, and customer service requests; monitor and analyze usage trends to improve user experience; detect, prevent, and address fraud, security issues, and technical problems; and comply with legal obligations.
6. Biometric Information
We collect biometric information from End Users, including facial geometry data (captured through facial scans for identity verification at clock-in and clock-out) and electronic signatures. This biometric data is collected and used solely for the purpose of verifying End User identity and authenticating time and attendance records.
Facial recognition processing is performed using AmazonRekognition, and biometric data is stored on secure Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers located in the United States (Northern Virginia region).
For complete information about our biometric data practices, including collection, use, retention, and destruction policies, and your rights regarding your biometric information, please review our Biometric Information Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Privacy Policy by reference.
7. How We Share Information
With Customers:If you are an End User, your employer (our Customer) has access to information about you within the Service, including time and attendance records, location data at clock-in/out, and verification status. Your employer, not RALCO, determines how this information is used for employment purposes.
With Service Providers/ Sub-processors:We share information with third-party vendors.These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only to provide services to us and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. A current list of our sub-processors is maintained in our DPA and is available on request.
For Legal Reasons:We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
Business Transfers:If RALCO is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or prominent notice on our Service of any change in ownership orusesof your information.
We do not sell your personal information, including biometric information, to third parties.
8. International Data Transfers
RALCO is established in Ireland and is subject to the GDPR. Personal data processed through the Service is stored on servers located in the United States (Amazon Web Services, Northern Virginia region). RALCO personnel in Ireland may access personal data remotelyin order toprovide the Service, perform support, and fulfill its obligations under the DPA.
To the extent that this constitutes an international data transfer under Chapter V of the GDPR, the following safeguards are in place:
• AWS:AWS’s Data Processing Addendum incorporates Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, providing appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data.
• Stripe:Stripe’s data processing terms incorporate SCCs and/or reliance on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, as applicable.
[Note: Confirm transfer mechanisms for Google Analytics and any other sub-processors. Google Analytics may require additional assessment following CJEU guidance.]

9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Specific retention periods are as follows:
• Biometric data:Retained and destroyed in accordance with our Biometric Information Privacy Policy. Generally, biometric data is permanently destroyed when the initial purpose for collection has been satisfied, or within three (3) years of the End User’s last interaction with the Service, whichever occurs first.
• Time and attendance records:Retained for 5 years from the date of creation, consistent with federal and state recordkeeping requirements (including OSHA and Department of Labor requirements).
• Account and billing information:Retained for the duration of the Customerrelationshipand for 7 years thereafter for tax and accounting purposes.

Upon termination of a Customer’s account, Customer data (including End User data associated with that Customer) will be retained for a period of30 days toallow fordata export, after which it will be securely deleted unless retention is required by law or the Customer has requested earlier deletion.
Under the GDPR, personal data shall not be kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed (Article 5(1)(e)). The retention periods above are justifiedon the basis ofcontractual necessity, legal obligation, and legitimate interest, and are subject to periodic review.
10. Data Security
We implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage (in accordance with Article 32 of the GDPR). These measures include:
Technical safeguards: Encryption of data in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols; access controls including multi-factor authentication for administrative access access.
Administrative safeguards:Employee training on data protection; access limited to personnel who need it to perform their job functions; vendor security assessments; and incident response procedures.
Physical safeguards:Data hosted in secure AWS data centers with physical access controls.
No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

RALCO WORKER APP
END USER TERMS OF USE
Last Updated: February 1, 2026
Welcome
These End User Terms of Use(“Terms”)apply to your use of the RALCO Worker mobile application (the“App”).The App is provided byRalco Compliance Limited (“RALCO,” “we,”or“us”), a company based in Ireland.Your employer has a separate agreement with RALCO that allows you to use the App for work purposes.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the App.
BY USING THE APP, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE APP.
What the App Does
The RALCO Worker App is a workforce management tool that lets you clock in and out at work sites, acknowledge documents and safety forms, and keep records of your time. Your employer uses this information to manage attendance, payroll, and compliance.
Information We Collect
When you use the App, we collect:
Your face scan–We use facial recognition to verify your identity when you clock in and out. This prevents someone else from clocking in for you. We store a mathematical representation of your face (not photos) to make this work.
Your electronic signature–When you sign documents in the App (like Pre-Task Plans or safety forms), we store your signature.
Your location–Whenyou clock in or out, we record your location to verify you are at the work site. We only check your location at clock-in and clock-out times—we do not track your location continuously.
Time and attendance records–The App records when you clock in and out, and this information is shared with your employer.
Face Scans and Biometric Information
IMPORTANT:Before you can use the App, you will be asked to consent to the collection of your face scan. This consent is separate from these Terms. Please read our Biometric Information Privacy Policy carefully—it explains what we collect, why, how long we keep it, and your rights.
Key points about your face scan:
• We only use it to verify your identity at clock-in and clock-out.
• We do not sell it or share it with anyone except the service providers that help us run the App.
• When you stop using the App (for example, if you leave your job), your face scan data will be deleted.
• You can withdraw your consent to face scan collection at any time, but this may mean you can no longer use the App.
YourEmployer’sRole
Your employer—not RALCO—is responsible for decisions about your employment. RALCO provides the technology; your employer decides how to use the information for things like payroll, scheduling, and performance management.
Your employer can see:
• your clock-in and clock-outtimes;
• your location at clock-in and clock-out;
• documents you have signed; and
• whether your identity was successfully verified.
If you have questions about how your employer uses this information, please talk to your employer directly.
Where Your Data Is Stored
Your data is stored on secure servers in the United States, operated by Amazon Web Services (AWS). RALCO is based in Ireland, and our team in Ireland can access your data to provide and support the App. This means your data may be accessed from both the United States and Ireland.
We use security measures to protect your data, including encryption (which scrambles your data so others cannot read it) and strict controls on who can access it. For more details, see our Privacy Policy.
Rules for Using the App
When using the App, you agree to:
• only clock in and out for yourself—never for someoneelse;
• provide accurateinformation;
• not try to trick or bypass the facial recognitionsystem;
• not share your login information withanyone;
• not copy, modify, or try to reverse-engineer the App; and
• follow youremployer’spolicies for using the App.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
• request information about what data we have aboutyou;
• request that we correct any inaccurateinformation;
• request that we delete your data (though this may prevent you from using the App);
• request a copy of your data in a format you can take withyou;
• object to certain uses of yourdata;
• withdraw your consent to biometric data collection at any time; and
• make a complaint to a data protection authority if you believe your data is being misused.
Some of these rights come from European data protection law (known as the GDPR), which applies because RALCO is based in Ireland. Other rights come from US state laws, depending on where you live. You can read more about your rights in our Privacy Policy.
To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@ralco.io or talk to your employer.Because your employer controls how your data is used in the App, some requests may need to go through your employer.
Data Protection Authority
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data and we cannot resolve the issue, you have the right to complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission:
Irish Data Protection Commission
21 Fitzwilliam Square South, Dublin 2, D02 RD28, Ireland
Website: www.dataprotection.ie
Phone: +353 (0)1 765 0100 / 1800 437 737
No Warranty
The App is provided“as is.”RALCO is not responsible for employment decisions made by your employer based on data from the App.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent allowed by law, RALCO is not liable for any indirect damages or losses you may experience from using the App, including lost wages or employment disputes. Any claims related to your employment should be directed to your employer.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you through the App. Your continued use of the App after changes means you accept the new Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York.However, if European data protection law (GDPR) gives you rights that go beyond what is in these Terms, those rights still apply.

Code § 503.001; (c)other applicable state biometric privacy laws; and (d) the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), which applies to RALCO by virtue of its establishment in Ireland.This policy supplements our general Privacy Policy.
2. Definitions
“Biometric Identifier”means a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or scan of hand or face geometry.
“Biometric Information”means any information, regardless of how it is captured, converted, stored, or shared, based on anindividual’sbiometric identifier used to identify an individual.
“Biometric Data”as used in this policy refers collectively to Biometric Identifiers and Biometric Information.
Under the GDPR, biometric data processed for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person constitutes “special category data” within the meaning of Article 9. The processing of Biometric Data under this policy falls within this classification, and RALCO processes such data in accordance with Article 9(2)(a) (explicit consent of the data subject).
3. Biometric Data We Collect
In connection with the Service, RALCO collects the following categories of Biometric Data from End Users (employees and workers of our Customers who use the RALCO Worker app):
Facial Geometry Data:When you enroll in and use the RALCO Worker app, we capture images of your face and use facial recognition technology to create a mathematical representation of your facial geometry (a“faceprint”).This faceprint is used to verify your identity each time you clock in or clock out using the app.
Electronic Signatures:We collect and store electronic signatures that you provide when acknowledging documents, forms, and other records within the Service, including Pre-Task Plans and incident witness statements.
4. Purpose of Collection
RALCO collects, uses, and stores Biometric Data solely for the following purposes:
Identity Verification:To verify your identity at the time of clock-in and clock-out, ensuring accurate time and attendance records and preventing time fraud.
Document Authentication:To authenticate that you have reviewed and acknowledged documents, forms, and other records by applying your stored electronic signature only after your identity has been verified.
Fraud Prevention:To prevent unauthorized individuals from clocking in or out on your behalf or signing documents in your name.
Under the GDPR, the legal basis for processing Biometric Data is your explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a)), obtained through the clickwrap consent mechanism in the RALCO Worker app prior to enrollment.
5. Disclosure of Biometric Data
We do not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from your Biometric Data.
We do not disclose your Biometric Data to any third party except:

What We Collect:When you enroll in the app, we will scan your face and create a digital“faceprint” —a mathematical representation of your facial features. We also store your electronic signature.
Why We Collect It:We use your faceprint to verify that you are who you say you are each time you clock in or clock out. This prevents time fraud and ensures accurate attendance records for your employer.
How Long We Keep It:We keep your biometric information while you are an active user of the app. If you do not use the app for 12 consecutive months, or if your employer tellsusyou have left your job, we will permanently delete your biometric information within 60 days. In no event will we keep your biometric information for more than 3 years after you last used the app — unless the law requires us to keep it longer.
Who Sees It:We do not sell your biometric information. We only share it with service providers who help us operate the app (such as our cloud storage provider, Amazon Web Services). These providers are required to keep your information confidential.
Where It Is Stored:Your biometric information is stored on secure servers in the United States. RALCO is based in Ireland, and our team in Ireland may access your data to support the app. We use encryption and strict security controls to protect it.
Your Rights:You can request information about your biometric data, request deletion, or withdraw this consent at any time by contacting privacy@ralco.io. If you withdraw consent, you will not be able to use the app.You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission (www.dataprotection.ie) if you believe your biometric data is being misused.
