Privacy Policy
Effective 2026-04-20. Last updated 2026-04-20.
This policy describes how TradesView, Inc. ("TradesView", "we", "us") handles personal information we collect when you use the TradesView iOS app, web app at www.tradesview.ai, and any homeowner folio links we issue on your behalf.
What we collect
- Account information — name, email address, and the password you set (stored hashed by Firebase Authentication, never accessible to us in plaintext).
- Project data — job records you create (homeowner last name, site address, phase), room scans you capture (3D geometry, derived floor plans, GPS origin), and share links you mint for homeowners.
- Device and usage context — device model, OS version, and app version, submitted at scan time to help us debug compatibility. We do not collect advertising identifiers (IDFA) and do not embed third-party analytics SDKs.
- Precise location — captured once per scan to anchor the 3D model to the job site. Stored only with the scan it belongs to. Not used for ongoing location tracking.
What we do with it
- Run the core product — let you capture, view, and share project information with homeowners and subcontractors you authorize.
- Authenticate you and authorize who can see what (jobs are owned by the GC who created them; homeowners only see what you explicitly share).
- Operate the service — logs, error reports, performance metrics. We never sell these to anyone.
- Communicate with you about the service itself — product updates, security notices, account-level events.
What we don't do
- We do not sell your personal data, ever.
- We do not use your data to target advertising, on or off our service.
- We do not share data with brokers or ad networks.
- We do not track you across other apps or websites.
Who we share with
- Subprocessors we use to operate the service: Google Cloud (Firestore, Cloud Run, Cloud Storage, Firebase Authentication) and Apple (for TestFlight + App Store distribution). Each is bound by contract to use data only for the purposes we instruct.
- Homeowners you invite see exactly what you choose to share with them via a folio link — job address, phase, scans you've attached. Folio links are signed and revocable; revoking one stops the homeowner's access immediately.
- Legal requests — if we receive a valid legal request for your data we will, whenever legally permitted, notify you before responding.
Retention
We retain your account and project data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account (Profile → Delete Account, or email us), we cascade-delete your jobs, scans, folio shares, and account credentials within 30 days. Backups containing deleted data are rotated out on a 60-day cycle.
Your rights
You can access, correct, export, or delete your data at any time. The fastest paths:
- Delete your account in-app: Profile → Delete Account.
- Export or correction: email us at privacy@tradesview.ai. We respond within 30 days.
If you are in the EU / UK / California / other jurisdictions with data-rights laws, those rights apply regardless of where TradesView is incorporated.
Children
TradesView is not directed to children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
Data in transit is encrypted with TLS. Data at rest is encrypted at the storage layer by our cloud providers. Account passwords are hashed + salted by Firebase Authentication; we never see them in plaintext. We review access logs and apply the principle of least privilege for our own engineers.
Changes
If we make material changes to this policy, we'll notify you in-app and by email before they take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
