Privacy & Trust

Proof of control without invading privacy. Workers get private coaching; management sees anonymised cohorts. You choose the privacy profile.

  • Fairness: Fairness review available on request
  • Compliance: ISO program overview available on request

Two streams, zero snooping

Echo separates private coaching for workers from cohort-level analytics for management. Supervisors never receive raw conversations. Actionable trends go up; personal coaching stays with the individual.

Private to worker

  • Personal coaching and nudges
  • Opt-in, mute or reschedule anytime
  • Self-service export/delete
  • Clear privacy contact

Visible to management

  • Team/site cohorts and trends
  • Time-to-intervention and control coverage
  • ISO 45003 readiness indicators
  • Never raw voice or coaching content

Who sees what

Access boundaries by role. Cohorts first, individuals kept private except for predefined urgent safety exceptions.

  • Can see: their own insights, coaching, participation history, “What Echo stores about me.”
  • Controls: mute/reschedule, export/delete, channel preference.
  • Cannot see: teammates’ data.

Privacy dials for your context

Start strict, standard, or high-hazard. Every setting is transparent and auditable. Tighten or relax controls to fit workforce, regulation, and risk appetite.

Settings

  • Identity visibility: anonymous cohorts only
  • Granularity: crew/site aggregates
  • Escalation: named only on predefined urgent-safety exceptions
  • Participation: opt-in; easy opt-out
  • Cadence: monthly
  • Retention: 6 months
  • Insurer sharing: off
  • Audit: all exceptions logged

Preview

Supervisors see cohort heatmaps and intervention timers. Individuals receive private coaching. No named data by default.

Predefined urgent safety exceptions: threats of self-harm, violence, intoxication at work, imminent critical fatigue. All exceptions are predeclared, narrowly scoped, and audited.

Risk stratification, not surveillance

Echo converts weak signals into low/medium/high risk cohorts. Supervisors fix hotspots at the cohort level first. Individuals receive private coaching. Only urgent, predefined safety exceptions trigger a named escalation with an audit trail.

  • Buckets before identities
  • Exceptions are predefined and narrow
  • Every escalation is logged and reviewable

Consent & control

  • Opt-in on first contact, plain-language summary
  • Mute or reschedule any check-in
  • Choose channel: phone, SMS, WhatsApp
  • Self-service export/delete request
  • Privacy contact for questions or disputes

“What Echo stores about me”

A simple page for workers to review participation, change preferences, and request data export or deletion.

We never share your personal coaching with your manager.

Security & governance

  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • Regional data residency available
  • Admin console with auditable access logs
  • Annual pen test and red-team exercises
  • ISO 27001 program in progress; policy set published
  • Responsible disclosure program

We’re building to SOC 2, aligning our controls to the AICPA Trust Services Criteria (Security baseline) and preparing for an independent audit.

Three real-world setups

Union-heavy city works

Anonymous cohorts, clear exceptions, short retention, zero insurer sharing.

Mixed industrial sites

Cohort-first with named follow-up by consent, reasonable cadence, limited sharing.

High-hazard operations

Faster cadence, explicit consent for named safety coaching, auditable urgent-risk escalations.

Bottom line

Echo gives you actionable cohort insights and a quarterly evidence pack while workers keep privacy and agency. Start strict, adapt as trust grows. Every change is transparent and auditable.

FAQ

Will supervisors hear raw conversations?

No. Supervisors see cohort trends and alerts. Personal coaching stays private to the worker.

Can we prevent named data entirely?

Yes. Choose the Union-strict profile and keep the default exceptions only.

When can an individual be named?

Only for predefined urgent safety exceptions or with explicit consent in high-hazard contexts. Every case is logged and reviewable.

Do workers control their data?

Yes. Opt-in, mute/reschedule, and export/delete are built in. A dedicated privacy contact handles disputes.

How do we prove control to the board or insurer?

Quarterly ISO 45003 readiness, participation coverage, time-to-intervention, and trendlines with an audit trail.

Where is data stored and how is it protected?

Encrypted at rest and in transit, regional residency on request, admin access logs, annual pen test, and an ISO 27001 program.

Does Echo profile personalities for managers?

No. Managers get cohort risk signals and control coverage, not personality labels or private coaching content.

What about unions?

Start with Union-strict. Cohort-only, short retention, and zero insurer sharing by default.

Will this create more admin work?

No. Privacy profiles and escalation rules are predefined. You pick, we enforce, you audit.

Can we test this before rollout?

Yes. The 90-day pilot ships with strict defaults and a ready-to-share evidence pack.

Note: “Exceptions” are narrow, predefined cases tied to clear imminent safety risk. They are disclosed to workers, versioned, and auditable.
