Overview

Site Toolbox ("the App") is a construction site documentation tool developed by Mark Ballard. This privacy policy explains how the App handles your information.

Information Collection and Use

Data Collected

The App collects and stores the following information locally on your device only:

2. Location Information — Optional area/location text labels you manually enter for photos. Location metadata (EXIF data) may be included in photos if your device camera settings allow it. This information is stored locally and never transmitted.
3. Metadata — Notes, descriptions, categories, and priorities you add to photos; issue tracking information (status, dates, categories); calculator history and saved values. All metadata is stored locally using SharedPreferences.
