Privacy Policy

What we collect

Foundation does not collect personal profiles, contacts, location history, advertising identifiers, analytics events, or other user data from your device. The only content the app collects is photos you take while using it during an inspection.

The app may ask iOS for camera access so you can take those photos. You can refuse, and you can turn camera access off later in iOS Settings. Foundation does not browse your photo library unless you choose to attach an existing picture yourself.

How we use photos

Photos are attached to the inspection you are working and sent to your firm’s Method workspace so the office can produce the appraisal. They are used only for that work — not for advertising, marketing, profiling, or sale.

Who can see this data

Inspection photos stay inside Method and the appraisal firm that issued your access. We do not share them with advertising networks, analytics vendors, or other third-party SDKs. If a related company or service provider helps operate Method, they may process the same photos only to run that workspace, and they are required to protect them to at least the standard in this policy.

Retention and deletion

Photos are kept with the inspection file for as long as your firm needs them for the assignment and its records. Foundation does not keep a separate personal photo archive on our side.

To stop the app from taking new photos, turn off camera access in iOS Settings or stop using Foundation. To ask that existing inspection photos be removed, contact the person who manages Method at your firm, or send a request through Foundation support. We will work with your firm to delete what we can.

Accounts

Access is issued by your appraisal firm. Foundation does not offer public sign-up and does not build a consumer account from the app.

Children

Foundation is a workplace tool. It is not directed at children and is not intended for anyone under 17.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above. Continued use of Foundation after a change means the new policy applies.
