Privacy
Draft. This policy is a plain-words draft for an attorney to check before outside shops use Field Tools.
What we store
- Your account: your name, email and phone, the business name, license and logo you choose to print on your sheets, which tools are on for you, and when you last signed in.
- Your customers: what you type in: name, phone, email and address.
- Your work: saved duct designs, heat loads and generator sizings, with when they were saved.
Your information is your own
Every person has their own private space: nobody else on Field Tools can see your customers or your saved work. The site owner's master login shows who has joined, their email and phone, which tools are on and how much each person has saved, as counts and dates, with no customer's name or address on that list. For support it can also open your customers in a read-only view, and every such look is written to a log.
How we use it
Only to run Field Tools: to sign you in, to save and show your work, to print your sheets, and to email you sign-in and password links. We do not sell personal information or use it for advertising. Field Tools runs no ad trackers or analytics.
Who else sees it
- The service providers that run Field Tools for us: the database and sign-in host, the website host and the email sender. They handle it only to provide that service.
- Public data services: when you use the Heat Load lookup, the address you typed goes through our server to public map and property sources to find the home. Your browser also loads the aerial picture of that address from a public map service.
- A public font service: the page's typeface is loaded from it, as on most websites, so it sees your internet address.
- Anyone the law requires us to give it to.
On your device
Your browser keeps your sign-in and a working copy of some of your work so the tools stay quick. Signing out clears your sign-in and the working copies from that device. Field Tools's own code sets no cookies.
How long we keep it
Your information stays until you ask us to remove it. When an account is deleted, its customers and saved work are deleted with it. A design or sizing you delete disappears from your screens right away and stays in the database until the account is deleted.
Your choices
You can change what is on file on your Account page. To have your account and its saved information deleted, contact us. If you are a homeowner and a contractor saved your details here, ask that contractor first. You can also ask us and we will help.
Keeping it safe
The connection is encrypted, each person's records are kept apart by rules in the database itself, and the master login needs a second sign-in step. No system is perfect: if something happens that affects your information, we will tell you.
Children
Field Tools is for people who work in the trades, not for children.
