Good GPS time clock apps geofence jobs, explain permissions, and limit what is stored. Bad ones show live maps of everyone’s evening commute as a flex.
Cloq-it stores arrive/depart and punch-time fixes for pinned sites — not a continuous trail.

Permission honesty
Say what Always location is for: watching job fences in the background. Say what it is not for: marketing, resale, or after-hours stalking. Signing out stops monitoring.
Mock GPS
If a fake-location app is detected, Cloq-it refuses the punch or auto event. That single detail is why GPS time clocks either work as accountability tools or become theater.
| Event | Stored | Not stored |
|---|---|---|
| Arrive at Job A | Time + position at event | Route to Job A |
| Punch with on-site rule | Fix used for distance check | All fixes that minute |
| Drive home | Nothing (no fence) | Breadcrumbs |
