Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Overview

FieldDeck is designed to protect your business data. The app operates with a local-first architecture: your job records, client details, and contracts stay on your devices and sync through your personal iCloud account. We do not collect, store, or transmit your proprietary job data to our servers.

However, to market, improve, and measure the effectiveness of our product, the FieldDeck marketing website (fielddeck.app) and certain account-level interactions do collect standard analytics and advertising data, as detailed below.

Our free web tools are designed to run locally in your browser. When you create an invoice, estimate, or change order on fielddeck.app, that document content is generated on your device and is not uploaded to FieldDeck servers as part of the normal PDF generation flow.

Website Data, Browser Storage & Contact Requests

When you visit fielddeck.app, browse our marketing pages, use our website tools, or contact us, we may collect:

  • Browser-Stored Tool Drafts: If you use our browser-based tools, the information you enter may be saved locally in your browser storage on your device so your draft persists across reloads. This draft content is not uploaded to FieldDeck servers by default.
  • Contact Information: Email address, trade type, state, and other information you choose to provide when you contact us or submit a form requesting support or resources.
  • Online & Technical Data: IP address, browser and device information, approximate geolocation derived from IP, referring URL, pages viewed, campaign parameters, and consent preferences for security, site delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention.

Browser-stored drafts remain under your control on that device and in that browser profile. You can remove them by using the tool's clear/reset option or by clearing your browser storage.

How Our Free Web Tools Handle Your Data

  • Local Processing: Invoice, estimate, and change-order PDFs are generated in your browser on your device.
  • No Cloud PDF Upload by Default: We do not upload the contents of your document to FieldDeck servers to create the PDF.
  • You Control Sharing: A document leaves your device only if you choose to email it, print it, text it, export it, or otherwise share it yourself.
  • Draft Persistence: To keep drafts available after a refresh, some tool inputs may be stored locally in your browser using browser storage technologies such as localStorage.
  • No Optional Tracking on Sensitive Tool Pages: Our browser-based document generators and PDF editor do not load optional analytics, advertising tags, or session replay on pages where you may enter or upload customer or job document information.

Analytics, Advertising, and Retargeting

We use third-party tools to understand marketing-site behavior and ad performance. These include PostHog for website analytics and consent-based session replay on non-sensitive marketing pages, and Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel for advertising measurement on marketing pages.

  • Consent-based Tracking: We only load optional analytics, session replay, and advertising technologies after you opt in via our tracking prompt. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we default optional tracking to off.
  • Marketing Page Analytics: With consent, PostHog may capture page views, referring campaign parameters (UTMs), button clicks and similar high-level interactions, browser and device information, and session replays on non-sensitive marketing pages so we can understand website usage and improve the site.
  • Sensitive Tool Exclusion: We do not load PostHog session replay, Meta Pixel, or other optional tracking on our browser-based document generators or PDF editor pages where customer or job document content may appear.
  • Cookies and Similar Technologies: Depending on the tool and your choice, this may include cookies, pixels, JavaScript tags, browser storage, and similar technologies used for measurement, attribution, replay, and advertising preferences.
  • Advertising & Retargeting: With consent, Meta Pixel may receive online identifiers, page and activity data, and conversion events from marketing pages for campaign measurement and retargeting. Meta processes this data according to their own Data Policy.
  • Categories of Recipients: We may disclose online identifiers, internet or network activity information, browser/device data, campaign attribution data, and related website telemetry to analytics providers, advertising and attribution partners, and service providers that help us operate, secure, or measure the website.
  • Data Minimization: We do not intentionally include direct identifiers or document contents in website analytics event payloads, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, street addresses, PDF contents, or free-form document text.

Data We Store Locally (In-App)

FieldDeck stores the following information locally on your device and within your private iCloud:

  • Business profile information
  • Job records, line items, and photos
  • Client contact information and signatures
  • Custom contract terms and templates

We do not process the legal content of your contracts or job details; they remain encrypted on your device and iCloud.

App Telemetry & Marketing Attribution

While we do not track your job data, the FieldDeck app securely communicates specific account-level events to our servers to measure the effectiveness of our marketing. If you click an ad or download a template on our website and subsequently install the app, we link that web referral to your app installation. We also track major account milestones (such as starting a Pro trial or renewing a subscription) to understand our business metrics.

Data Sync, Retention & Deletion

Your job data syncs through Apple's iCloud service. This sync is encrypted by Apple and inaccessible to FieldDeck. You control retention and deletion directly:

  • Delete jobs or clients in-app to remove them from your device/iCloud.
  • Delete the app or manage iCloud settings to remove cloud-stored data.

To request the deletion of your email address from our marketing systems, please contact us at [email protected].

Your Privacy Choices & U.S. State Notices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we maintain about you, and to opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing activities where applicable. We do not sell personal information for money. Depending on applicable law, our use of cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for advertising or measurement may be considered "sharing," a "sale," or processing for targeted advertising. You can update optional tracking preferences anytime using the "Your Privacy Choices" control in our footer or by clicking below. We treat Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a request to turn off optional tracking on this site. You can also manage personalized ads through platform preferences (e.g., Meta Ad Preferences). Our site does not use legacy "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signals for preference handling.

To make a privacy request related to information we control, contact [email protected]. We may need to verify your request before fulfilling it.

Data Export

You can export all your data as CSV files at any time from the Settings screen in the app. This includes all jobs and all clients. Your data is always yours.

In-App Purchases

Subscription purchases are processed entirely by Apple. We do not receive or store your payment information.

Children's Privacy

FieldDeck is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
