• Purpose: to capture photos for project documentation, measurements, and quote workflows.
• Data handling: captured images are processed and stored as project data to provide requested features.
• Sharing: camera data is not sold and is shared only with service providers needed to operate the service, or when legally required.
• Retention: camera data is retained under the same project-data retention rules described in this policy.
• Contact: for camera-data questions or deletion requests, contact [email protected].

2. Information We Collect

• Project data: projects, captures, customers, quotes, and material selections you create.
• Camera data: photos you capture or upload in the app when camera/media access is granted.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We may share data with service providers that help us operate the platform (for example hosting, email delivery, and infrastructure), subject to appropriate safeguards.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.

6. Data Retention

We keep data for as long as needed to provide the service, fulfill legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods may vary by data type and legal requirements.

This retention statement includes camera images and related project media.

7. International Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border data transfers.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a regulator.

10. Children's Privacy
