Trust, Security & Privacy

This page is maintained by High Quality International Contracting Co. (HQIC) to answer common security and privacy questions about the HQIC internal platform. It describes the controls currently enabled in the application and the practices HQIC follows when handling employee data. It is editable project content and is not an independent certification or third-party audit.

Who uses this platform

HQIC is an internal platform used by HQIC employees and managers for HR, attendance, requests, housing, fleet, and internal communications. It is not a public service and does not accept anonymous sign-ups.

Authentication & access

Access requires an HQIC-issued email and password. New accounts are provisioned by HR and email addresses must be confirmed before first sign-in. Passwords are checked against known breach lists when supported by the platform.

Each user is assigned a role (employee, supervisor, engineer, accounting manager, HR manager, general manager, or super admin). Roles are stored separately from user profiles and govern what each person can view or change.

Data protection & access control

Row-level security policies are enabled on every employee-data table. Employees can only read and modify their own attendance, requests, notifications and chats. Managers see the broader records their role requires; salary information is restricted to HR and top management.

Realtime subscriptions are scoped per user so one employee cannot listen to another employee's private channels.

Hosting & platform

The application is hosted on Lovable Cloud, which uses managed Postgres, authentication, storage and edge compute. Data is transmitted over HTTPS. Describing the platform is not a claim of Lovable certification.

Email & notifications

Transactional and authentication emails are sent from an HQIC-owned subdomain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC managed through the email infrastructure. Unsubscribe and suppression are honored for all non-essential mail.

Data retention & deletion

Employee records, attendance, requests and chats are retained for as long as the employee relationship requires and in line with HQIC's internal retention policy. Requests to correct or remove personal information can be sent to the contact below.

Subprocessors & integrations

The platform relies on Lovable Cloud (Supabase) for database, authentication and storage, and on the Lovable Email infrastructure for transactional mail. No employee data is sold or shared with third-party advertisers.

Reporting a security issue

If you believe you have found a vulnerability or a privacy issue with the HQIC platform, please contact HQIC HR / IT directly. Reports are reviewed promptly and remediated based on severity. Please do not publicly disclose issues before they have been fixed.

Shared responsibility

HQIC is responsible for how the application is configured, who is granted access, and how employee data is used. The hosting platform is responsible for the underlying infrastructure. Employees are responsible for protecting their own credentials and for using the application in line with HQIC's policies.
