Privacy Policy

BuildMore is a time clock and job-cost tool for construction companies. This policy explains what the app and the web panels collect, why, who sees it, and what you can ask us to do with it. It is written for the two different people it affects: the company that subscribes, and the employee who punches a clock.

Who is responsible

BuildMore is operated by RM Marketing LLC (“we”). For the records an employee creates — punches, hours, photos — the employer is the one who decides what is collected and why; we process it on their instructions, as their service provider. Questions about your own hours are answered fastest by your employer, but you can always write to us at privacy@buildmore.business.

What we collect

From the person using the app

• Account details — name, work e-mail, the company code you sign in with, your role, and your language.
• Punches — the moment you clock in or out, in UTC with your time zone, and the device's local offset.
• Location, at the punch only — the coordinates read when you press the button, used to tell which job site you are on and whether you were inside its fence. The app does not track you between punches and does not run in the background.
• A photo, when your employer requires one — taken at the punch, to confirm the punch is yours.
• Device information — app version and basic device details, kept with the punch so a disputed record can be explained.
• What you ask to correct — a correction request carries the time you say is right and the reason you give, and it goes to a supervisor.

Biometrics: nothing leaves your phone

When Face ID, Touch ID or a fingerprint is required before a punch, the check is performed by your phone's own operating system. We never receive, see or store a fingerprint, a face scan or any biometric template. What reaches us is a yes or no — that the device confirmed it was you. We do not sell, lease, trade or profit from biometric identifiers, and we do not use them for anything except that confirmation at the moment of the punch.

From the company that subscribes

• Company name, address details you enter, time zone, and the settings that decide what a punch requires.
• Your employees' records: pay rate when you enter one, crews, shifts, job sites, jobs, and the costs and documents you create in the paid modules.
• Billing information. Card numbers are handled by Stripe and never touch our servers — we keep the subscription status and the identifiers Stripe gives us.

Why we collect it

• To run the time clock — recording hours is the service, and accurate wage records are also a legal obligation of your employer under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
• To place the work — location at the punch answers which job site the hours belong to, which is how a job is costed.
• To confirm who punched — the photo and the device check exist to stop one person punching for another.
• To bill the subscription and to support the account.
• To keep the record honest — administrative actions are written to an activity trail so a change can be explained months later.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We do not use your data to train machine-learning models.

Who else sees it

• Your employer. Managers and administrators at your company see your punches, hours, job sites and corrections. That is the product.
• Other employees do not. An employee sees their own hours, not anybody else's.
• Other companies never do. Every record carries the company it belongs to, enforced in the application and again in the database by row-level security.
• Service providers who make the product run: hosting and database (our own servers in the United States), file storage for photos and documents, e-mail delivery, and Stripe for payments. They act on our instructions.
• The law, where we are required to respond to a valid legal request, and where necessary to protect someone's safety or our rights.

How long it is kept

Punches, hours and the audit trail are kept for as long as your employer's account exists, and are deliberately append-only: a punch cannot be edited or deleted through the product, because a wage record that can be quietly rewritten is not a record. A correction is a new entry that says what it replaced. Federal wage rules require employers to keep payroll records for at least three years, and many of our customers keep them longer.

If a company closes its account, we delete or anonymise its data within 90 days, except where we must keep something to meet a legal obligation.

Your rights

Depending on where you live — including under the California Consumer Privacy Act — you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to receive a copy, to ask for corrections, to ask for deletion, and not to be discriminated against for exercising any of them.

Because we process employee records on behalf of your employer, the fastest route is usually to ask them directly. You can also write to privacy@buildmore.business and we will help, or pass the request to the company that controls the record. We will ask you to confirm your identity before we act, and we answer within 45 days.

Requests to delete hours are the one case where we may have to say no: your employer is legally required to keep wage records, and those hours may also be the proof that you were paid correctly.

Children

BuildMore is a tool for work and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Security

Traffic is encrypted in transit. Passwords are stored hashed, never in a readable form. Access between companies is isolated at the database level, and sessions on the administrative panel are short-lived. No system is perfect; if a breach affects your information, we will notify you and your employer as the law requires.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will update the date above and, for a material change, tell account administrators by e-mail.
