Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Compact Cottages (“Compact Cottages,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our construction project-management platform and related websites, applications, and services (collectively, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

Note: This document is a general template and not legal advice. Please have it reviewed by qualified counsel before relying on it. Items in [brackets] are placeholders to be completed.

1. Who we are

The Service is operated by Compact Cottages, located at [COMPANY ADDRESS]. For any privacy questions, contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL]. If your organization administers your account, that organization is the controller of the data you submit, and this policy describes how we process it on their behalf.

2. Information we collect

We collect the following categories of information:

  • Account information — your name, email address, organization name, password, and role within your organization.
  • Project and task content — projects, tasks, job-site details, schedules, due dates, comments, files, photos, drawings, and other content you or your team create or upload to manage construction work.
  • Usage information — actions you take in the Service, features used, and pages viewed, which help us operate and improve the product.
  • Device and log data — IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and timestamps, collected automatically for security and diagnostics.

3. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Service;
  • Authenticate users and secure accounts and organizations;
  • Enable collaboration on projects and tasks within your organization;
  • Send transactional messages such as verification and account notices;
  • Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve performance and reliability;
  • Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
  • Comply with legal obligations.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:

  • Within your organization — project and task content is visible to authorized members of your organization according to their roles and permissions.
  • With service providers — vendors that host infrastructure, send email, and provide analytics or support, under contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
  • For legal reasons — when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users, the public, or Compact Cottages.
  • In a business transfer — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.

5. Data retention

We retain information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it. Your organization may also control retention of its project content.

6. Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and long-lived access tokens scoped to your account. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL] or your organization administrator. We will respond consistent with applicable law.

8. International transfers

We may process and store information in countries other than where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers as described under [APPLICABLE TRANSFER MECHANISM].

9. Children’s privacy

The Service is intended for business use and is not directed to children under [AGE]. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a revised “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
