Updates to Float’s data processing agreement
Updates to Float’s data processing agreement
In December 2022, we updated Float’s Data Processing Agreement (DPA) to incorporate Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as published by the European Commission on June 4, 2021. These SCCs are in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that addresses data transfers originating from the European Economic Area.
View Float’s Data Protection Agreement.
Why has Float made these updates?
The security and privacy of our customers are a priority, and we treat data compliance as a foundation—not just a feature. We’ve made these updates to our DPA to ensure that we meet security compliance standards for our customers globally and that Float’s policies on security, data, and privacy are easy for customers to access and understand.
When will this be effective?
This DPA will automatically become part of your service agreement with Float, effective from December 6, 2022.
What do I have to do?
All Float customers are part of our online DPA service agreement, and no action is required. If you have questions about your DPA with Float, please get in touch with us at support@float.com.
Are you planning any other changes to your security policies?
The security of our customers and the protection of your data is something that we take seriously at Float. We’re proud to always seek new ways to strengthen our security and resilience controls and meet best-in-class compliance standards. Currently, we’re SOC 2 Type 1 certified. You can read more about our measures to achieve this compliance here. These recent updates to our DPA mean that we can better support GDPR requirements for our EU and UK customers.
If you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
API update: A new public holiday endpoint for 2023
API update: A new public holiday endpoint for 2023
We’ve released a new, dedicated public holidays endpoint for Float’s API. Starting in 2023, public holidays will be removed from the time off endpoint.
The public holidays endpoint lists all public holidays available for your team. You can map team members against these holidays using a new region field on the people endpoint response. This will function in the same way as other team-wide holidays.
What action do you need to take?
We recommend working with your development team to set up the public holidays endpoint before the end of the year. Doing so will ensure your team’s availability is transferred accurately from Float to your integrated applications and that you continue to get all of your essential data.
For more information, check out our API documentation. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at support@float.com.

Time off can now be requested and approved directly on the schedule in Float, with a complete view of your team’s planned work, time off, and capacity. No more switching between different tools and calendars—all the essential details are now in one place!
Time off approval gives you more influence over your team's time and helps avoid ambiguity on the schedule. A clear view of approved time off makes it easy to adapt your project plans around your team's leave and keep work on track.
