This notice is for applicants, current and former workers, referees, emergency contacts and anyone named in a Gravity record. Your organisation chooses its modules. A person who submits availability for a rota may have a much smaller record than someone who uses Gravity for recruitment, pay and HR.
What can Gravity hold about me?
Applying for a job
Name, email, phone, staff or candidate reference, vacancy and department, source of application, CV, cover letter, experience, availability, saved drafts, answers and uploaded evidence. Interview bookings, attendance, scores, notes, panel members, recommendations, offers, proposed salary, start date, rejection reasons and choices about future opportunities support recruitment. Referee names, employers, contact details, relationships and responses may come from you or the referee.
Identity, starting work and right to work
Date of birth, address and postcode, National Insurance number, bank account holder, sort code, account number, emergency contact and relationship. Onboarding may include contracts, medical adjustment requests, criminal declarations and details. A right-to-work check can record an identity document or copy, share code, provider reference and result, check route, checker, dates, immigration permission, working restrictions and follow-up evidence.
Your working arrangements
Employee and staff numbers, contact details, role, reporting line, department, location, start and end dates, employment type, work pattern, contracted hours, pay basis, rate, probation, holiday entitlement, carry-over, rest rules, working-time opt-out and permitted hours. Changes, approvals, requests for flexible work, family leave, rehire and leaving records support employment administration.
Rotas, availability and attendance
Availability form answers and comments, import files and their processing results, preferred or trained duties, demand and cover calculations, shifts, open-shift bids, availability requests, swaps, allocation decisions, reminders and published rotas. Time records can include the named clock point or site, raw and rounded clock times, breaks or manual submissions, hours, exceptions, corrections, reviewer and approval history. A file import gives access to the supplied file. It does not by itself connect the source system.
Pay, benefits and expenses
Payroll references, pay rates, pay-detail change requests, pay periods, regular and overtime hours, leave and sickness hours, allowances, rewards, benefits, balances, corrections, payslips and other uploaded payroll documents, approval records and exports to payroll. Expenses can include journeys, mileage, travel bookings, tax treatment, receipts, amounts, card labels, suppliers, purchases, petty cash, equipment assignments, returns and proposed deductions.
Health, adjustments and safety
Absence dates and reasons, fit notes, medical advice, contact preferences, phased returns, workplace adjustments, evacuation assistance, lone-working arrangements and emergency contacts. Accident and safeguarding reports may identify injured people, witnesses, visitors, contractors, first aiders and investigators. Reports can contain injuries, allergies, location, time, photographs, statements, equipment, emergency action, regulatory reporting references, investigation findings and corrective actions.
Learning, performance and career
Training assigned, booked or requested, course and policy versions, assessment answers and scores, pass or fail, certificates, sign-offs, evidence uploads, equipment or ride competence, expiry dates and skills gaps. Probation, objectives, reviews, one-to-ones, coaching, career interests, mentoring, succession planning, internal applications and development plans can include opinions, ratings, eligibility and agreed actions.
HR cases, staff voice and confidential reports
Case owners, people involved, allegations, grievances, disciplinary issues, evidence, private notes, correspondence, risk assessments, outcomes, appeals and follow-up tasks. Feedback, surveys, participation, answers and free-text comments, speak-up reports, anonymous-report references, messages and triage can also be recorded. A narrative, attachment or small team may identify someone even when a form allows anonymous reporting.
Meetings, voice notes and AI-assisted work
Meeting titles, dates, location, chair, attendees including external guests, email addresses, recording acknowledgements, audio files, transcripts, summaries, decisions, action owners, comments and signatures. Voice notes, HR assistant questions and answers, safety-report drafts, briefings, forecasts and suggested allocations may contain information about you or another person. What is entered, recorded, generated or saved depends on the feature used.
Documents, signatures and forms
Contracts, letters, references, policies, custom form questions and answers, uploaded files, photographs and free text can contain additional personal information. Delivery, access and signing records may include the document version, typed name or drawn signature, acknowledgement wording, signer’s email, IP address, browser information and time. A document may also identify its author, reviewer or a third party.
Everyday operations and communications
Fault reports, inspections, risk assessments, safety briefings, jobs, bookings, shared equipment, supplier contacts, purchases and handovers may identify reporters, assignees and approvers. Communications can record recipients, messages, notification preferences, push subscriptions, delivery outcomes and read receipts.
Accounts, security and privacy requests
Account and organisation identifiers, roles, permissions, site membership, sign-in and PIN verification records, sessions, access attempts, access changes, document access, incident investigations and audit events support security and accountability. A rights request may record your contact details, identity checks, scope, relevant records, decision, response, export and dates. Retention reviews can record holds, approvals, deletion evidence and backup status.
Hosting, storage and service providers
Current arrangements
Gravity currently uses Base44’s managed platform for website and application hosting, workforce records and private evidence file uploads.
Selected UK hosting arrangement
Function Labs has selected Civo and EODATA Cloud / Extraordinary Managed Services Limited for the planned UK deployment of Gravity. Civo is intended to provide the relevant application and database hosting. EODATA is intended to provide private storage for documents, evidence files and backups.
UK hosting is a requirement of this planned arrangement. We will use the appropriate UK services and locations for the records, files and backups covered by the deployment. Civo describes its UK Sovereign Cloud as hosted and operated in the UK. EODATA provides UK object storage from London and Edinburgh with UK-based operations.
Before the new arrangement applies to your organisation, we will explain which records and files are moving, the processing and storage locations, who can access them, the backup and deletion arrangements and any continuing providers. The change takes effect after the relevant services have been configured, checked and migrated. This notice will be updated to reflect the arrangement in use.
Traffic delivery, authentication, email, support and other enabled services may involve separate processing, including outside the UK. UK storage alone does not establish that every processing activity takes place in the UK. Your organisation and Function Labs can provide the applicable provider details, countries and transfer safeguards for your deployment.
Supplier security assurance
Civo publishes ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and Cyber Essentials Plus credentials. EODATA / Extraordinary holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for its stated cloud, hosting, backup and related managed services. We review the applicable scope and service terms as part of deployment assurance.
These credentials cover the suppliers' stated activities and controls; they do not certify Gravity or Function Labs. Function Labs is responsible for the application controls it implements. For the planned deployment, access permissions, authentication, encryption, audit records, retention, backup and recovery arrangements will be documented and checked against the organisation's requirements before rollout.
