Timely Teams (Beta)

If you create or join a team in Timely, additional information is collected and shared within that team. Timely Teams is currently in beta.

Information collected and shared with your team

When you join a team, the following becomes visible to the team owner and (where noted) other team members:

• Your display name and email address — visible to the team owner and other members.
• Work sessions you record after joining the team — clock-in/out times, durations, breaks, hourly rate, and earnings, shared with the team owner. Sessions you recorded before joining the team are never shared.
• Live status — whether you are currently clocked in, on break, or off, visible to the team owner in real time while you are an active member.
• Activity log entries — actions you take in the team (joining, leaving, clocking in/out, settings changes) are recorded in an audit log visible to all team members. Entries are automatically deleted after 90 days.

Team codes

Each team has a 6-character join code generated by the app. Anyone with the code and a Timely account can join the team. Team owners are responsible for sharing codes only with intended members.

When you leave or are removed from a team

• You immediately lose access to the team's data.
• Work sessions you recorded while a member remain visible to the team owner and are retained as part of the owner's records (the owner already had access to this data while you were active). If you want this historical data removed, contact the team owner or email us at timelytrackyourhours@gmail.com.
• Sessions you recorded before joining, and any sessions recorded after leaving, are not affected.

Account deletion

Deleting your Timely account will:

• If you are a team member: remove you from the team.
• If you are a team owner: soft-delete the team and deactivate its team code.

Subscription requirement

Timely Teams requires the team owner to maintain an active Elite subscription. If the subscription lapses, members will be unable to record new shifts to the team until it is reactivated.

Beta notice

Because Timely Teams is in beta, features may change, and you may experience bugs. Do not rely on Timely Teams as your sole record of work hours during the beta period.

The App is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.

11. Timely Teams (Beta)

Timely Teams is a collaboration feature currently offered in beta. By creating or joining a team, you agree to the following additional terms:

11.1 Beta status

Timely Teams is provided on an "as-is" basis during the beta period. Features may change, be removed, or contain bugs. You should not rely on Timely Teams as your sole or authoritative record of work hours, payroll, or legal compliance during the beta.

11.2 Team owner responsibilities

If you create a team, you are the team owner. You are responsible for:

• The accuracy of team settings (name, hourly rates, etc.).
• Sharing the team code only with people you intend to invite.
• Removing members who should no longer have access.
• Ensuring you have the legal right to collect and view the work-session data of your members in your jurisdiction (including any required employee notice or consent under applicable labor and privacy laws).
• Maintaining an active Elite subscription to keep the team operational.

11.3 Team member responsibilities

If you join a team, you acknowledge and agree that:

• The team owner will see your display name, email, live clock-in status, and all work sessions you record after joining the team.
• Sessions you recorded before joining are not shared with the team.
• You may leave the team at any time from within the app. Leaving stops further data sharing immediately.

11.4 Data ownership

• Personal sessions (recorded before joining a team or outside any team context) belong to the user who recorded them.
• Team sessions (recorded while a member of a team) are accessible to both the recording member and the team owner. The team owner retains a copy of these records after the member leaves or is removed.

11.5 Acceptable use

In addition to Section 4, you agree not to:

• Use Timely Teams to monitor individuals without their knowledge where prohibited by law.
• Attempt to access teams you have not been invited to.
• Brute-force, enumerate, or otherwise abuse team codes.
• Forge activity log entries or impersonate other team members.

Timely Teams requires an active Elite subscription on the team owner's account. Each team has a seat limit. We may change pricing, seat limits, or feature availability at any time during the beta with reasonable notice.

11.7 Termination

We may suspend or terminate any team that violates these Terms or that we reasonably believe poses a risk to other users. Upon termination, members will lose access to the team and its data.

11.8 No employment relationship

Timely is a tool for tracking hours. Nothing in Timely Teams creates an employment, agency, or contractor relationship between us and any user, or between team owners and team members. Compliance with wage, hour, tax, and employment laws is solely the responsibility of the team owner.
