Privacy Policy
Last updated: 1 August 2026
Who we are
Sitefile (“we”, “us”) provides a progress evidence and reporting service for construction contractors at www.sitefile.app. We are the data controller for account information, and we process the project data our customers upload on their behalf. Contact for anything in this policy: support@sitefile.app.
What we collect
Account data: your name, email address and authentication details (managed by our sign-in provider, Clerk).
Project data you upload: project details, programme tasks, annotations, and site photos or videos. Photos include the metadata your device records — capture time, camera details and GPS position — because preserving that metadata is the point of the service: it is what makes your evidence verifiable.
Activity records: an audit trail of actions taken in your projects (who did what, when), which appears in your reports and protects the integrity of your evidence.
How we use it
Solely to provide the service: storing your evidence, linking it to your programme, generating your reports, and keeping your account secure. We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use your project data to train AI models.
If you import a programme as a PDF, that document is processed by an AI service (Anthropic) to extract the task list; it is not used for training and is not retained by us beyond the import.
Where it lives
Project data is stored in the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany) with our database provider, Supabase. Photos, videos and generated reports are stored in Cloudflare's secure object storage. The application is hosted on Vercel. Authentication is provided by Clerk and, when billing is active, payments are handled by Stripe — we never see or store your card details. Some providers may process data outside the UK/EU under appropriate safeguards (standard contractual clauses).
Who can see your data
Only members of your organisation can access your projects — data is isolated per company at the database level. Reports leave the system only when you send them, as password-protected PDFs if you choose.
How long we keep it
For as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we delete your data within 30 days, except where a legal obligation requires longer retention. You can request deletion at any time.
Cookies
We use essential cookies only — the ones required to keep you signed in. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, which is why you don't see a cookie banner.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can request access to, correction of, export of, or deletion of your personal data — email support@sitefile.app and we'll act on it. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we'll notify account holders by email and update the date at the top of this page.
