Who we are
AccuSite is operated by Jay March, an individual developer based in Texas, USA (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what the AccuSite iOS app collects, why, who can see it, and the choices you have. Reach us at marchjay@icloud.com.
AccuSite is a workplace tool. Your project is set up by your employer or contractor (the “project admin”), who decides who is on it and which roles they hold.
What we collect
| Data | When | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email, username | When you create an account | Signing you in and showing who checked in, scanned, or inspected. |
| Account ID | Created by Firebase at sign-up | Linking your records to your account. |
| Precise location | Only while you are checked in to a shift, and only if you allow it | The live safety map, so your safety team can find you in an emergency. |
| Photos and signatures | When you add them to an inspection | The inspection record and its report. |
| Attendance and equipment records | When you check in/out or scan equipment | Your project’s time sheet and tool log. |
| Crash reports | If the app crashes | Fixing bugs. Contains device model, OS version, and a stack trace — not your content. |
| Device attestation | Each time the app talks to our servers | Proving requests come from the genuine app (Apple App Attest via Firebase App Check). |
NFC tags used for check-in and equipment contain only a project and item identifier — no personal data. We do not collect contacts, calendars, health data, or advertising identifiers, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
Location, precisely
Location sharing starts when you check in and stops the moment you check out. Only your project’s safety team and admins can see it, and no location history is kept — each update replaces the last.
You choose whether to share location at all: the “Share while on the clock” switch in Settings is yours, and you can still check in with it off or with iOS location permission denied. Granting “Always” permission lets the map keep working while the app is in the background during your shift; it is never used outside a shift.
Projects may define a site boundary (geofence) and may require you to tap the site’s NFC check-in tag. Those checks happen on your device at check-in; they do not record where you are at other times.
How we use it
- Run the app — attendance, equipment check-out, inspections, findings, and the live map for your project.
- Keep it working — crash reports and security checks.
- Support you — if you email us, we use what you send to help.
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or analytics beyond crash reporting, and we never sell it.
Service providers
- Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, Crashlytics, App Check) — stores accounts, records, photos, and crash reports on Google Cloud servers in the United States. Firebase privacy and security.
- Google Maps SDK — renders the live map. Map tiles are requested from Google when the map is open. Google privacy policy.
- Apple — App Attest, Face ID / Touch ID (which never leave your device), and App Store distribution.
How long we keep it
Your account, profile, and username exist until you delete them. Attendance, equipment, and inspection records belong to the project they were made on and are kept as that project’s books for as long as the project exists — the same way a paper sign-in sheet or inspection form would be. Crash reports are retained by Firebase Crashlytics for 90 days. Live location is overwritten with each update and cleared at check-out.
Your choices
- See your data. Your profile, time sheet, and inspections are visible in the app. Email us for a copy of anything else.
- Turn off location in Settings or in iOS Settings, at any time.
- Delete your account in Settings → Delete your account. This permanently removes your sign-in, profile, and username and removes you from every project. Attendance and equipment records stay with their projects, without your account attached.
- Ask us anything about your data at marchjay@icloud.com. We answer within 30 days.
If you are in a region with specific privacy rights (for example the EU/UK or California), you can exercise them by email and we will honour them.
Security
Data travels over TLS and is stored encrypted at rest by Google Cloud. Access is enforced by server-side rules: you can only read and write data on projects you belong to, in the role your admin gave you. The app requires Face ID, Touch ID, or a PIN to open, and only the genuine app can reach our backend. No system is perfect; if we ever learn of a breach affecting you, we will tell you.
Children
AccuSite is a workplace tool and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top and, for material changes, tell you in the app. The current version always lives at this address.
