At BuilderOS, our mission to eliminate construction fraud requires us to capture highly precise and sensitive data — including biometric facial vectors, government-issued IDs, and GPS location coordinates. We do not take this responsibility lightly.
This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect from Project Owners, Site Supervisors, and Construction Workers. It details why we need this data to provide our "Proof of Presence" services, how we encrypt and store it securely, and the strict limits on how it is shared with our licensed identity and financial partners. BuilderOS is fundamentally committed to your privacy: we use your data solely to secure your construction projects and ensure accurate wage disbursement. We will never sell your personal or biometric information.
Information We Collect
To provide our trust-based platform, we collect the following:
Personal Information
Name, email, phone number, and government-issued ID numbers (e.g., NIN) for KYC purposes.
Financial Information
Bank account details for payouts and virtual account records. (Credit card data for SaaS fees is handled entirely by Paddle; we do not store it).
Biometric Data
Face scans and "Face Vectors" of supervisors and workers used strictly for daily liveness checks and attendance matching.
Location Data
Precise GPS coordinates (Geofencing) captured from the supervisor's mobile device when opening/closing sites and taking attendance.
How We Use Your Information
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your data. We share data only with essential third-party infrastructure providers:
Identity Partners (Dojah, Smile ID)
For verifying government IDs and processing face matches.
Payment Partners (Nomba, Paddle)
To create virtual accounts and process payouts/subscriptions.
Cloud Providers (AWS, Supabase)
For secure data hosting.
Data Retention and Security
Biometric templates are encrypted. We retain worker attendance records and site photos for the duration of the project and a mandated period thereafter for compliance and dispute resolution. Users may request account deletion, subject to financial data retention laws.
