Network-based check-in
When Kadence Agent is running on a user’s device, it checks whether the user is physically in an office by comparing their public IP address against a list of approved IP ranges.
These approved IPs:
Are configured by Global Admins in Kadence
Represent known corporate networks for specific office buildings
Can be individual IP addresses or CIDR ranges
Are fully managed by the customer inside the Kadence platform
What happens during check-in
The Kadence Agent sends a request to:
https://api.onkadence.co/v1/ip-check-inKadence determines the user’s public IP address as seen by Kadence’s cloud infrastructure
That IP address is compared in real time against the configured trusted IP ranges
If:
Kadence Agent is installed
A match is found
Automatic check-in is enabled
The user has an active booking
The user is automatically checked in to the corresponding building
Privacy and security
Kadence Agent is designed with privacy and security as core principles:
The IP address is only used momentarily to perform the match
The IP address is not stored or retained beyond the request lifecycle
No GPS, location services, or geolocation data is used
No device metadata is collected
All communication is encrypted using TLS
Processing is limited strictly to enabling check-in functionality
What Kadence Agent does not do
It does not track a user’s location
It does not monitor browsing or network activity
It does not store IP addresses
It does not use Wi-Fi names, Bluetooth, or device identifiers
Summary
Kadence Agent works by confirming presence in an office through network verification, not location tracking. It provides a secure, privacy-first way to automate check-ins using trusted corporate IP ranges configured by your organization.
