ConstructINS for Android — privacy
What the app sends, what it keeps on your phone, and what it never collects — as it actually works. It is a workplace app: your organisation gives you your account, and the app talks to its ConstructINS server.
What the app sends
Your account
Your name, work email and role, to sign you in. Your organisation creates the account and decides which projects and screens it opens; there is no way to create one in the app.
Your work
Shift start and end and the tasks you confirm, site quantities and corrections with their reasons, the decision steps you take with their reasons, photo verdicts and photo requests, the records you file from a document, and any AI-written text you report.
Photos and documents
Only what you choose to send. The app’s own camera takes a site photo, a photo check, an inspection or a document only when you press the shutter; the photo is made smaller and sent. A document you pick in Scan & Capture comes through Android’s own file picker — the app cannot see your other files.
Notifications
The app asks your ConstructINS server for anything new — photo checks, alerts and decisions waiting for you — every 15 minutes, and shows it on the phone. When your organisation has set up push, a notification token for this phone lets photo checks arrive at once: Google Firebase Cloud Messaging delivers them and they carry the alert’s text. The token is removed when you sign out. You can turn notifications off in Android’s settings for the app.
Screens opened on the web
Screens the app does not draw itself yet open in your browser, already signed in: the app asks your server for a one-time link that works once, for one minute, and signs that browser in as you.
On your phone
Fingerprint, face and screen lock
Your fingerprint and face never leave your phone; neither the app nor ConstructINS ever sees them. When you turn on fingerprint sign-in, your phone makes a key in its secure hardware that only its own fingerprint, face or screen-lock check can unlock, and ConstructINS keeps only the public half of it. Anyone who can unlock your phone could then open your account in the app, so turn it on only on a phone that is yours. It ends when your password is reset or your account changes, after 180 days unused, or when you turn it off in Settings.
Kept on the phone
Your sign-in, encrypted with a key that never leaves the phone and lasting at most 12 hours; your language, appearance and project choices; and work made with no signal — a shift confirmation or a site photo — until it is sent. None of it is backed up or copied to a new phone. Signing out ends the session; uninstalling the app removes everything it kept.
Never collected
No location, no advertising or analytics, no tracking across apps or websites, no contacts, no microphone and no crash reports. Nothing is sold.
Where it goes, and for how long
Where it goes
To your organisation’s ConstructINS server, over HTTPS only, where it is kept with the project’s records. Documents you scan and inspection photos are read by the AI models your ConstructINS uses — see Data, security and AI. When push is set up, Firebase Cloud Messaging delivers notifications.
Keeping and deleting
Work records are kept by your organisation’s ConstructINS under its own rules. To have your account or your records removed, ask your ConstructINS administrator, or write to us.
Who it is for
People at work, given an account by their organisation. It is not meant for anyone under 18.
