FloorMate ("we", "us" or "our") operates the FloorMate application for Android, iPhone and iPad.

This policy applies to information processed when you create an account, use FloorMate, contact support or otherwise interact with the app. FloorMate is a business administration tool for flooring professionals and is not directed to children.

Information we collect

We collect information you provide, operational information needed to run the service, and limited diagnostics used to improve reliability.

Name, email address, account identifier and authentication provider.

Business and customer records

  • Create and secure your account.
  • Provide, synchronise and maintain FloorMate features.
  • Generate estimates, invoices, receipts and other documents you request.
  • Organise jobs, measurements, expenses, schedules, suppliers and stock.

Device permissions and on-device processing

ContactsOptional on Apple devices only. Apple's single-contact picker lets you choose one contact to prefill a client record. Android does not request contacts permission.
PhotosOptional. Android's system photo picker or Apple's photo picker lets you choose images for a company logo, receipt or job record. FloorMate does not request unrestricted access to your photo library.
NotificationsOptional. Permission is requested when you enable invoice reminders and can be changed in Android or iOS device settings.
Receipt recognitionApple Vision or Google ML Kit analyses a receipt image on your device to suggest receipt details. The image is uploaded only if you save it with an expense.
05

Service providers

FloorMate relies on selected providers to operate the app. They process information on our behalf under their respective terms and privacy practices.

Google FirebaseAuthentication, Cloud Firestore and Cloud Storage on Android and Apple platforms; the Apple app also uses privacy-filtered Analytics, App Check and Crashlytics.
Google Sign-InAuthentication on Android or Apple devices when you choose to sign in with Google.
Sign in with AppleAuthentication on Android or Apple devices when you choose to sign in with Apple.

We intentionally exclude customer-entered document text, client details and financial values from product analytics events and sanitised crash reports.

06

Sharing, sale and tracking

We do not sell personal information. FloorMate does not contain third-party advertising and does not use your information to track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.

Information may be disclosed:

  • To service providers that help operate FloorMate.
  • When you direct the app to share or email a document.
  • To comply with law, regulation, legal process or enforceable government request.
  • To investigate fraud, security incidents or threats to rights and safety.
  • As part of a business transaction, subject to appropriate notice and safeguards.
07

Storage, security and retention

FloorMate transmits information using encrypted network connections and stores cloud records using Firebase services. Access rules scope business records to authenticated owners and authorised company members.

Optional bank details are encrypted using AES-GCM before they are written to cloud storage. We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

We retain information while your account is active and as reasonably necessary to provide the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements. When you request deletion of associated stored data, we will verify the request and delete or de-identify information unless retention is required by law.

08

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, export, restriction, objection or deletion of personal information. You may also have a right to complain to the relevant privacy regulator.

  • You decide which clients, contacts, records and images to add.
  • You can change notification permission in your device settings.
  • You can remove individual business records where the app provides a delete action.
  • You can remove your sign-in account from More > Settings > Delete account and all data.
  • To request deletion of associated stored business data, contact us using the address below.
Before deleting an account: export or retain any invoices and business records you are legally required to keep. Deletion cannot be undone.
09

Account deletion

You can permanently delete your account and associated FloorMate data inside the app: open More, choose Settings, tap Delete account and all data, type DELETE, and confirm.

If you cannot access the app, email ahmed.ezzat2410@gmail.com from the email address used for your FloorMate account with the subject “FloorMate account deletion request”. We will verify the request before deletion.

Deletion removes the Firebase authentication account, company profile, clients, estimates, invoices, jobs, measurements, schedules, expenses, receipts, job media, signatures, suppliers, stock records and related cloud data. Information may be retained only where required for legal, security or fraud-prevention obligations.

Deletion is permanent: export any business or tax records you must retain before continuing.

Australian users may contact us with questions or complaints about handling of personal information. We will investigate and respond within a reasonable period. Where applicable, you may also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
