Embedded Files
Effective Date: 1st June 2026
FieldCollect ("we," "us," or "our") operates the FieldCollect mobile application. This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our app and the choices you have associated with that data.
1. Information Collection and Use
FieldCollect is a professional data collection tool. We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our service to you.
Types of Data Collected
Precise Location Data
The app collects precise location data (GPS and network-based) to geotag survey submissions. This is essential for the primary purpose of the app. Location data is only captured when a user actively fills out a form or uses the Map View.
Camera and Audio
The app requires access to your device's Camera and Microphone to allow you to attach photos and audio recordings to your survey forms. These files are stored locally and only uploaded to the server you have configured in the app settings.
Device Information
We collect your Android Device ID to uniquely identify submissions from your handset. This helps organizations manage data integrity and prevent duplicate records.
User Profile
We store the "Enumerator Name" and "Username" you provide to attribute survey results to the correct field staff.
2. Data Transmission and Storage
Local Storage: All data is stored in a secure local database on your device until it is successfully synchronized.
Server Sync: Data is transmitted over the internet (via HTTPS) to a server URL specifically configured by the user or their organization. FieldCollect does not send your data to any third-party servers other than the one you explicitly define in the settings.
Encryption: Data is encrypted in transit using SSL/TLS when syncing with your server.
3. Third-Party Sharing
FieldCollect does not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your data to outside parties. Your data belongs to you and the organization managing the server you connect to.
4. Permissions
By using the app, you grant permission for:
Location: To record where surveys are taken.
Camera: To take photos for forms.
Microphone: To record audio notes for forms.
Storage: To save and manage files locally before sync.
5. Security of Data
The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. Data Deletion
Users can delete their local submissions and settings at any time by clearing the app data or uninstalling the application. For data already synced to a server, users must contact their organization's database administrator.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
