Privacy Policy
BidFaster ("we", "our", "us") is operated by devLNX Studio. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, where it is stored, and your rights regarding that data.
1. Data You Provide
When you use BidFaster, you may provide:
- Account data — email address and password (stored only as a secure hash) used to create and log into your account.
- Business data — company name, owner name, address, phone number, licence and insurance details, logo, bank details and default tax/markup settings entered in Settings. Used to generate your quotes and invoices.
- Client and job data — client names and contact details, quotes, line items, prices, payment schedules, invoices, projects and notes you enter.
- Job photos — photos you attach to quotes or projects. They are uploaded to our server so they sync between your devices.
2. Data Collected Automatically
- Device token — a Firebase Cloud Messaging token, stored on our server to deliver push notifications (e.g., when a client accepts a quote).
- Server logs — our server logs requests, including IP addresses and, for account actions, your email address. Logs are kept for 30 days for security and troubleshooting.
- Subscription status — whether your Pro subscription is active, received from RevenueCat.
We do not use analytics, advertising identifiers or behavioural tracking.
3. Your Clients' Data (Quote Portal)
When you send a quote, your client can open it via a private link at bidfaster.app. When they do, we record:
- when the quote was opened and how many times (shown to you as "viewed");
- if they accept: the name they type, their drawn signature, the date and time, and their IP address — kept as a record of acceptance;
- if they decline: the date and time.
You are responsible for having a lawful basis to share your clients' details with us; we process them only to provide the service to you.
4. How We Use Your Data
- To generate PDF quotes and invoices.
- To sync your data across your devices and the web dashboard.
- To host the quote portal for your clients and notify you when they view, accept or decline.
- To send account emails (email verification, password reset) and, on the Pro plan when you opt in, overdue-payment reminders to your clients.
- To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.
5. Where Data Is Stored
The app keeps your data on your device in the app's private storage, protected by your device's operating system; your sign-in tokens are stored encrypted (Android Keystore / iOS Keychain). A copy is stored on our server so you can sync and use the web dashboard. Our server is located in the United States. If you use BidFaster from the UK, the EU or elsewhere, your data is transferred to and processed in the US. All connections between the app, the dashboard and our server are encrypted (TLS 1.2+).
Server backups are encrypted before they leave our server and are stored on Google Drive (Google LLC) for up to 30 days, so we can recover from failures. Google cannot read them.
6. Third-Party Services
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) — delivers push notifications. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Drive (Google) — stores our encrypted server backups (Google has no access to their contents).
- RevenueCat — manages Pro subscriptions. Receives your account ID and purchase history. Subject to RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
- Google Play Billing / Apple In-App Purchase — process Pro subscription payments. Card details are handled entirely by Google or Apple and never reach us.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
Your data is kept while your account is active. You can delete your account and all associated data — quotes, clients, invoices, photos and your logo — at any time in the app (Settings → Delete Account), in the web dashboard (Settings → Delete Account), or by emailing hello@bidfaster.app. Deletion from our live server is immediate; copies in backups are removed as backups expire, within 30 days. Server logs expire after 30 days. Data on your device is removed when you uninstall the app. Deleting your account does not cancel a store subscription — cancel it in Google Play or the App Store.
8. Children's Privacy
BidFaster is intended for use by adults operating a trade or construction business. We do not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 13.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights including: access to your data, correction, deletion, and data portability (the app and dashboard can export your data as CSV/JSON). To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@bidfaster.app.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via the app or by email. Continued use of BidFaster after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
