At SmartBarrel.io, we prioritize your privacy and security. Our mobile app is designed to provide essential features for construction workforce management without compromising user privacy. We want to clarify how the app interacts with user data and assure you that it operates with transparency.
No Background Tracking or Data Transmission
SmartBarrel.io mobile app respects user privacy by ensuring that no location data or other sensitive information is tracked outside of user-triggered actions. We do not collect any background data, and the app only communicates with the cloud when explicitly initiated by the user. This ensures that your personal information and the privacy of your workforce are always protected.
User-Triggered Data Sharing
The app only transmits data to our cloud service when the user takes specific actions. These are the only data points exchanged between the mobile app and our cloud infrastructure:
-
Worker Login / Logout:
- When a worker logs in or logs out of the app, the credentials and timestamp are securely sent to the cloud.
-
Worker Refreshing Project List:
- When a worker manually refreshes the project list or then the worker opens the app, the app fetches updated project data from the cloud. No information is transmitted in the background.
-
Worker Punching IN / OUT:
- When a worker punches in or out of a job, this action is recorded and sent to the cloud to ensure accurate timekeeping and reporting.
-
Worker Submitting Reports (Work Summary, Incident, Toolbox Talk):
- Reports submitted by workers, such as daily work summaries, incidents, or toolbox talks, are securely transmitted only when the worker initiates the submission.
Caution: No Background Location or Privacy Data Tracking
To make it absolutely clear: The SmartBarrel Mobile Punch app does not track or share any GPS location or privacy-sensitive information in the background. The app runs solely based on user interactions and never communicates with the cloud without direct user action. This makes us one of the most privacy-conscious apps available in the market today.
Ensuring Data Security and Privacy
At SmartBarrel.io, we follow industry best practices for data security. All data transmitted between the mobile app and our cloud servers is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access. We do not sell or share any user data with third parties. The information collected is solely used for the intended purpose of improving workforce management.
Commitment to User Privacy
Our commitment to privacy is unwavering. The app does not track user location when it is not in use, nor does it collect any personal data in the background. You are in complete control of when and what data is shared.
If you have any questions or require further clarification on how we protect your data, please feel free to contact us at info@smartbarrel.io.
