The system used by Safescan does not store any image of the fingerprint, but only an anonymous, mathematical reference template.

The personal features of the fingertip are vectorised in unique points and converted by the terminal into a complex numerical code, using a special algorithm. The corresponding employee number is then linked to this value.

The fingerprint image can never be reproduced by the terminal or exported from the terminal – only the numerical code is stored. Misuse of personal data by unauthorised persons is thereby avoided.

Since all Safescan TA terminals offer a dual authentication option, in case your employee(s) have any concerns with clocking by fingerprint, there is always the option for the employee to choose their own 8-digit PIN code and identify themselves with this code to the terminal.
