Legal
Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 3, 2026
This is an interim privacy statement so we can complete Sign in with Google and test TradeFlow in house. It is not a final legal policy. We will replace it with a fuller policy before paying customers and real business data are brought onto the platform.
This page explains how TradeFlow Construction (“TradeFlow,” “we,” “us”) handles information when you use www.tradeflow-construction.com. Questions: info@tradeflow-construction.com.
What TradeFlow is
TradeFlow is a field-operations app for trade contractors. Companies use it to keep jobs, photos, materials, change orders, daily logs, documents, and crew in one place.
Google information we access
If you choose Sign in with Google, we request only Google’s basic profile scopes. Google then provides:
- your name
- your email address
- your profile picture
- your Google account identifier
TradeFlow does not receive Gmail, Google Drive, or Google Contacts access, because only those basic profile scopes are requested. We do not request broader Google scopes.
Why we use Google information
We use that Google information for authentication, account creation, account identification, security, and support. Signing in with Google identifies you. It does not by itself grant access to any company’s jobs or files.
How Google information is stored
Name, email address, profile picture, and Google account identifier are stored in TradeFlow’s authentication and database systems and in session records used to keep you signed in.
Email and password accounts
If you create an account with email and password, we store the email and a hashed password in the same authentication and database systems, plus session records.
Information companies store in TradeFlow
A company that uses TradeFlow may store job details, photos, documents, notes, logs, schedules, and crew membership. That information belongs to that company. We use it only to run TradeFlow for them.
Operational information we collect automatically
When you use the site, we may automatically collect operational information such as IP address, browser/device information, timestamps, error logs, and application usage. We use this to operate, secure, debug, and support TradeFlow.
Cookies and sessions
We use a signed-in session cookie so you do not have to log in on every page. We do not use advertising cookies.
Who may process or receive information
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it with advertisers. Information may be processed or disclosed to:
- necessary hosting, database, authentication, storage, email, and support providers that help us run TradeFlow
- legal authorities when required by law
- a successor if the business is sold
Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, such as HTTPS, access controls, and hashed passwords for email accounts. We do not claim security certifications, and no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Retention and deletion
We keep account, session, and company information while it is needed to operate TradeFlow and provide support. When an account is deleted, we remove or de-identify the information we no longer need, except copies that may remain in backups for a limited time and records we must keep because the law requires it. To review, update, or delete your account, email info@tradeflow-construction.com. Company admins can also remove crew members from their own TradeFlow workspace.
Changes
We may update this statement. The current version will stay at www.tradeflow-construction.com/privacy.
