Frequently Asked Questions
Does PunchBuddy use biometric facial recognition?
No. It simply documents punches with instant photos for audit purposes. No facial matching or biometric data is collected or stored.
How are photos stored?
Photos are stored in a secure database with permissions by district, and then automatically purged after six months.
Do we need new hardware?
If your SmartClock has a built-in camera and badge reader, you can immediately add PunchBuddy Snap. Older time clock hardware may require upgrades or replacement.
Can it be deployed remotely?
Yes. Activation is fully remote with no shipping or on-site setup by your IT team. As easy as it gets!
Why not choose biometrics?
PunchBuddy Snap is a non-biometric option that captures photos for auditing purposes. PunchBuddy Touch uses fingerprint verification and PunchBuddy Pro uses PIN plus facial verification for real-time authentication. All three work on your existing SmartClock hardware.
