Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

We do not require You to create an account or provide any personally identifiable information — such as Your name, email address, or phone number — to use the Service. No such information is collected by Us.

Local App Data

All survey readings, job records, drainage grades, as-built results, and app settings You create are stored locally on Your Device using standard iOS storage. This data is never transmitted to Us and remains entirely under Your control. It is deleted when You delete the app.

Site Comms Session Data

The Site Comms feature allows two devices to communicate in real time during a surveying session. When You choose to use this feature:

  • A temporary session is created on Google Firebase Realtime Database servers (operated by Google LLC).
  • The data transmitted includes: the job name You have entered, staff readings and calculated results You record during the session, and session status signals.
  • This data is automatically deleted from Firebase servers when the session is ended, or within 24 hours at the latest.
  • No persistent record of this data is retained by Us after the session ends.
  • You are not required to provide any personal information to use Site Comms. The job name field is free text and does not need to contain any personally identifiable information.

Google Firebase infrastructure may process connection metadata (such as IP addresses) as a standard part of operating its network. This processing is subject to Google's Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy) and is not under Our control.

We do not collect, access, or retain any analytics, usage statistics, crash reports, advertising identifiers, or device identifiers.

Use of Your Data

The limited data involved in Site Comms sessions is used solely for the purpose of transmitting real-time survey information between two devices at Your request. It is not used for any other purpose, and it is not retained after the session ends.

Sharing of Your Data

We do not sell, share, or disclose Your data to any third parties for commercial, marketing, or analytical purposes.

The only third-party infrastructure used is Google Firebase (Google LLC), which hosts Site Comms session data temporarily as described above. Google processes this data as a Service Provider under Our instruction, solely for the purpose of relaying session data between devices.

Retention of Your Data

  • Local app data (jobs, readings, settings): Retained on Your Device until You delete the data within the app or uninstall the app. We have no access to this data.
  • Site Comms session data: Automatically deleted from Firebase servers upon session end, or within 24 hours at the latest. We retain no copies.

Delete Your Personal Data

You have full control over Your local app data and can delete individual jobs, readings, or all data at any time from within the app. Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data from Your Device.

For Site Comms data, deletion is automatic and no action is required on Your part.

Disclosure of Your Personal Data

Law Enforcement

Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to disclose data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency). Given that We retain no personal data beyond active Site Comms sessions, there is very little that could be subject to such requests.

Other Legal Requirements

The Company may take action in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation
  • Protect and defend the rights or property of the Company
  • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service
  • Protect the personal safety of Users of the Service or the public
  • Protect against legal liability

Security of Your Data

Local app data is protected by Your Device's built-in iOS security. Site Comms session data is transmitted over encrypted connections to Google Firebase servers. While We strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect Your data, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

GDPR Privacy

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data under GDPR

The only processing We are involved in under GDPR is the temporary handling of Site Comms session data. The legal basis for this processing is:

  • Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary to deliver the Site Comms functionality You have explicitly chosen to use, and the processing is limited to what is strictly necessary for that purpose.

International Transfer of Personal Data

When You use Site Comms, data is processed on Google Firebase servers, which may be located outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") and the United Kingdom ("UK"). Google LLC participates in appropriate cross-border data transfer frameworks and its processing is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

You may contact Us using the details in the "Contact Us" section for further information about the safeguards in place for such transfers.

Your Rights under the GDPR

You have the right under this Privacy Policy, and by law if You are within the EU, to:

  • Request access to Your Personal Data. The right to access, update or delete the information We have on You.
  • Request restriction of processing. You have the right to ask Us to restrict processing of Your Personal Data in certain circumstances.
  • Request correction of the Personal Data that We hold about You. You have the right to have any incomplete or inaccurate information We hold about You corrected.
  • Object to processing of Your Personal Data. This right exists where We are relying on a legitimate interest as the legal basis for Our processing.
  • Request erasure of Your Personal Data. You have the right to ask Us to delete or remove Personal Data when there is no good reason for Us to continue processing it.
  • Withdraw Your consent. You have the right to withdraw Your consent on using your Personal Data. If You withdraw Your consent, We may not be able to provide You with access to certain specific functionalities of the Service.

Exercising of Your GDPR Data Protection Rights

You may exercise Your rights by contacting Us. We will try our best to respond to You as soon as possible. We generally respond within one month, and may extend by two further months where necessary, in accordance with applicable law.

You have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about Our collection and use of Your Personal Data. For more information, if You are in the European Economic Area (EEA), please contact Your local data protection authority in the EEA.
