Privacy Policy

This policy explains how the WorkProof: Timestamp Camera iOS app (“WorkProof”, “the app”), made by Velocity Apps (“we”, “us”), and the website getworkproof.app handle information. Questions? Email hq@velocityappdevelopment.com.

1. Information that stays on your device

• Photos. Each stamped photo and its original, unstamped version are saved in the app’s private storage on your iPhone (Application Support), together with a SHA-256 fingerprint of each file. If you turn on Also save to Photos, an extra copy of the stamped photo is added to your photo library. WorkProof doesn’t read anything else from your library, except a logo image you choose yourself.
• Jobs and visits. Job names, addresses, client names and phone numbers, notes, before and after pairs, and the time, place and weather saved with each photo.
• Your business. Your business name, phone, website and logo, used on stamps and reports.
• Reports. PDF reports are created on your device. They’re shared only when you share them.
• Settings, such as your stamp template, size and position.

We cannot see or access this information. It may be included in your device backups (iCloud Backup or a computer backup) according to your own settings; those backups are handled by Apple and your device, not by us.

2. Location, addresses, weather and maps

With your permission, WorkProof uses your device’s location while you use the app to stamp each photo with its street address and, if you choose, its GPS coordinates. Location is not tracked in the background.

• Addresses. To turn your coordinates into a street address, the app uses Apple’s geocoding service, which receives your coordinates.
• Weather. Current weather comes from Apple WeatherKit, which receives an approximate location to return the conditions.
• Maps in reports. The map in a PDF report is drawn with Apple Maps, which receives the job’s location.

These requests go from your device to Apple under Apple’s privacy policy. We don’t receive them.

3. Verify records

Each photo carries a code that lets someone check its record. When this feature is turned on in the app, WorkProof sends a record of each photo to our server right after capture, so the code can be checked at getworkproof.app. A record contains:

• the code, capture time and time zone;
• coordinates, GPS accuracy, altitude and the street address;
• the weather at the time;
• the note on the photo and the photo kind (photo, before or after);
• the SHA-256 fingerprints of the stamped and original files;
• your device model (for example “iPhone”) and the app version.

The photo itself is not uploaded. Anyone who has the code, for example from the photo or a report you sent, can see this record. Records are written once and not changed, so a code keeps showing the same information. They don’t contain your name, your business details, the job name or the client’s name, unless you typed those into the photo’s note. Records are stored with our hosting provider, Cloudflare.

4. Information shared with service providers

Usage events contain kinds and counts, never content: for example “a before photo was taken” or “business name was set”, not the photo or the name. Like any online service, these providers see your device’s IP address when the app contacts them and may use it to estimate an approximate region. None of the analytics, subscription or advertising providers receive your photos, addresses, coordinates, job names, client names or notes. Each provider handles data under its own privacy policy.

5. Tracking and your choices

After you start using WorkProof, iOS asks whether the app may track your activity across other companies’ apps and websites. If you choose Ask App Not to Track, your advertising identifier (IDFA) is not accessed, and ad measurement uses Apple’s privacy-preserving methods such as SKAdNetwork. You can change this anytime in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.

6. Permissions

• Camera. To take proof photos.
• Location (While Using). To stamp the address and coordinates on each photo. Without it, photos are still taken, but without a place.
• Add to Photos. Only if you turn on Also save to Photos.

You can change these anytime in the iOS Settings app.

7. How long information is kept

Information on your device stays until you delete it in the app or delete the app. Verify records are kept so that codes on photos you’ve already shared keep working, until you ask us to delete them. Information held by service providers is kept according to their retention settings and used only for the purposes above.

8. Deleting your data

• On your iPhone: delete a photo in the photo viewer, or a whole job with Edit › Delete job and photos. Deleting the app removes everything WorkProof stored on the device. Copies you saved to Photos or shared stay where you put them.
• Verify records and analytics: email hq@velocityappdevelopment.com with the subject “Data deletion”. Include one or more photo codes if you want verify records removed. We’ll confirm within 30 days. Deleted codes will no longer show a record.

More detail is on our data deletion page.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK or California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Your photos and jobs never reach us, so you control them directly in the app. For verify records and information held by our service providers, email us and we’ll help.

California residents: we don’t sell personal information. Using Meta and Singular to measure advertising may count as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. You can opt out by choosing Ask App Not to Track, or by emailing us.

10. Children

WorkProof is a tool for working adults. It is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU and UK), and we don’t knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has used the app, email us and we’ll delete any records we hold.

11. International transfers

Our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries, using appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses where required.

12. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date above and, for significant changes, let you know in the app.
