Terms and Conditions

Last updated: June 2026

By creating an account or using the TUP Anti-Tardiness Scheme (“ATS”) of the University Student Government (USG), Technological University of the Philippines – Sagay (TUP Sagay), you agree to these Terms. ATS is a student project built for the USG to manage attendance.

1. Purpose

ATS is a QR-based system used to record student attendance and tardiness at official USG/TUP activities such as flag ceremonies and assemblies.

2. Eligibility & accounts

Accounts are for currently enrolled TUP Sagay students and authorized USG/admin staff. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your password confidential. Do not share your account or allow others to scan on your behalf.

3. Attendance & QR codes

Each student has a permanent QR code (your Student ID). Attendance is recorded by scanning this code during a session. Only one scan is counted per student per session. A scan made after a session’s set “late” time is marked late.

4. Offenses & penalties

Late arrivals are recorded as offenses and may carry the requirements/penalties set by the USG/TUP, applied progressively for repeat offenses. ATS only records these; the actual penalties follow official USG/TUP policy and the decision of authorized officers.

5. Acceptable use

Do not tamper with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the system, to other accounts, or to other students’ data.

6. Availability

ATS is provided on an “as is” basis for school use and may be unavailable during maintenance or connectivity issues. The offline scanner records attendance locally on the scanning device and syncs to the server when a connection is available.

7. Administration

Administrators may add, edit, deactivate, or remove student records as part of managing attendance. Passwords are stored securely and are never visible to administrators.

8. Changes

These Terms may be updated. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

9. Contact

For questions or corrections, contact the ATS administrator at support@ats-tups.com.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Policy explains what information the TUP Anti-Tardiness Scheme (“ATS”) collects, how it is used, and how we protect it in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). ATS is operated by the USG of TUP Sagay, which acts as the Personal Information Controller.

1. Information we collect

In accordance with the DPA, we only collect personal and sensitive personal information necessary for the system's execution. This includes:

  • Account details: First and last name, Student ID (sensitive personal information), email address, and section/year level.
  • Password: Stored only as a secure hash (bcrypt) — never in plain text and never shown to anyone.
  • Photo (optional): A profile photo, shown to the scanner operator to verify your identity during scanning.
  • Attendance data: Scan records (time, session, on-time/late) and any resulting offense records.
  • Technical data: Minimal log information needed to run and secure the service (for example, to limit repeated failed log-in attempts).

2. How we use it

We process your data based on legitimate educational/institutional purposes and your consent to implement school attendance guidelines. Processing is limited to:

  • Verifying your identity at the scanner and recording your attendance.
  • Computing tardiness and applying the USG/TUP offense tiers.
  • Sending one-time verification codes to your email for sign-up and password reset.
  • Allowing you to view your own QR code, attendance, and offenses.

3. Photos & the offline scanner

So it can work without internet, the scanner downloads the active roster — including names and photos — to the scanning device and stores it locally, so it can show a student’s photo when their QR is scanned. This cache is refreshed from the server and used only for attendance scanning.

4. Email

Your email is used only to send verification/reset codes and necessary account messages. We do not sell it or share it for marketing.

5. Sharing

Your information is not sold. It is accessible to authorized USG/ATS administrators and may be shared with USG/TUP officials when needed for attendance and disciplinary processes under school policy.

6. Storage & security

We implement appropriate organizational, physical, and technical security measures in compliance with the DPA. Data is stored on the ATS hosting server. Passwords are hashed (bcrypt), forms are protected against cross-site request forgery (CSRF), access is restricted by role, and repeated failed log-ins are rate-limited.

7. Retention

Records are kept for the duration of your enrollment or as required by the institution's retention policies under school guidelines, and may be removed by an administrator upon graduation or honorable dismissal.

8. Your rights as a data subject

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (R.A. 10173), you are entitled to the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Be informed: Know whether your personal data is being processed, and for what purpose.
  • Access: Obtain reasonable access to your personal data held in the system.
  • Rectification: Request correction of any inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete data.
  • Erasure or blocking: Request the deletion or withdrawal of your personal data, subject to school policies on academic record-keeping.
  • Object: Object to the processing of your data, noting that this may prevent you from using the ATS.
  • File a complaint: Lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.

Administrators cannot see your password; if you forget it, use “Forgot password” to set a new one via an emailed code.
