Privacy Policy
This policy applies to the In‑House Application (FABRICASTO APP), a business tool used by authorised staff. We respect your privacy and want you to understand exactly what information the App uses and why.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our Android app. The App is for internal business use only – it is not a public app and is not used for advertising. By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Permissions We Ask For & Why
The App asks for a few permissions on your phone so that it can do its job. Below is a simple explanation of each one and how it helps you do your work.
What each permission means for you
- Internet & Network State – Lets the App connect to our company system so you can see and update your work information. It also checks if you’re online.
- Fine & Coarse Location – Used when you are on a job to show where you are. This helps with routing, check‑ins, and keeping you safe during field work.
- Background Location – Allows the App to keep track of your location while you are on an active job, even if the App is closed or your screen is off. This is important for real‑time job tracking and safety. A notification will always show when this is active.
- Foreground Service & Location Service – Keeps the App running smoothly in the background while you are working, especially for location updates during a job.
- Data Sync Service – Makes sure your work updates (like completed tasks or new orders) are sent to the company system without interruption.
- Wake Lock – Stops your phone from going to sleep during important sync or location tasks so nothing gets lost.
- Receive Boot Completed – Lets the App restart its background work automatically after you restart your phone, so you don’t miss anything.
- Camera – Lets you scan barcodes, take photos of documents, or capture proof of delivery right inside the App. The camera only turns on when you choose to use it.
- Notifications – Sends you alerts about new jobs, messages, or updates that need your attention.
- Exact Alarm – Allows the App to set precise reminders or schedule important tasks at specific times.
⚡ You can turn off any permission in your phone settings at any time. Just keep in mind that some features may stop working if you do.
2. What Information We Use & How We Keep It Safe
Because this is a work app, the information we handle is related to your job – like your tasks, location during work hours, and any photos you take for work. We do not collect personal data for advertising or sell it to anyone.
🔐 Keeping Your Data Safe
- All information sent between the App and our company system is encrypted.
- Data stored on your phone is kept secure.
- Only authorised staff can access the App and its information.
- We regularly review our security to protect your data.
📋 How Long We Keep Data
- Work records are kept as long as needed for business and legal reasons.
- Location history is kept only for as long as it is useful for work purposes.
- You can ask us to delete your personal data by contacting us.
- When you leave the company, your access is removed and data is handled properly.
Our Promise to You: We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Everything collected through the App is used only to help you do your work. We don’t share your data with outside companies for marketing.
2.1 A Note About Background Location
Our App can track your location even when the App is closed or not in use. This happens only while you are on an active work assignment. It helps with:
- Keeping you safe when you’re working in the field.
- Planning routes and giving accurate arrival times.
- Automatically logging when you arrive at or leave a job site.
You will always see a notification on your phone when background location is active. You can stop it at any time by ending your shift or turning off the permission in your phone settings.
3. Who We Share Data With
We don’t share your data with advertisers or marketing companies. Your information may be shared only:
- With your employer or the company you work for (as part of your job).
- With service providers who host our company system (under strict privacy agreements).
- When the law requires us to do so.
4. Your Choices & Rights
As someone using the App for work, you have control over your information:
- See and update your info: You can view and change most of your details right in the App.
- Turn off permissions: You can disable any permission (camera, location, etc.) in your phone settings.
- Ask for your data: You can request a copy of your work data from your administrator.
- Ask us to delete data: You can email us to request deletion of your personal data (we’ll keep only what the law requires).
5. Children’s Privacy
The App is not meant for anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you think a child has given us information, please contact us right away.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The newest version will always be available in the App and on this page. We encourage you to check it now and then. If you keep using the App after changes, it means you accept the updated policy.
