This license does not authorize use of the Beta Software for any production, commercial, or revenue-generating purpose.

In connection with your employment at [Restaurant Name], Moreplan may process data about you, including your name, payroll identifier, performance tier designation, shift start and end times, shift duration, cut history, and section assignment history. This data is used solely to generate section assignment recommendations and fairness reports on behalf of [Restaurant Name]. Moreplan acts as a service provider and does not use your data for its own commercial purposes. Moreplan retains Workforce Data for a minimum of three (3) years following the end of its agreement with [Restaurant Name], consistent with applicable wage-record retention requirements. Employee rights under applicable privacy law are exercised through [Restaurant Name] as your employer. For questions about how your data is handled, please contact [HR or Manager Contact]."(b) obtain any consents required by applicable law, including those required under state electronic-monitoring statutes in New York, Connecticut, Delaware, and other applicable jurisdictions; (c) ensure that performance tier ratings and other employee-level designations entered into the Beta Software are not based on an employee's protected characteristics under applicable federal or state law, including characteristics protected under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and applicable state equivalents; and (d) comply with all applicable employment, labor, and privacy laws in connection with its submission of Workforce Data. Beta Tester shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Moreplan from and against any claims, losses, or liabilities arising from Beta Tester's failure to comply with this Section 6.3.
6.4. Guest Data Obligations.
