Privacy Policy — SiteOn mobile application

Version: 1.0
Last updated: 14 April 2026

Disclaimer. This document is provided for informational and operational purposes to describe processing related to the SiteOn application in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Belgian data protection law. It does not constitute legal advice. Have it reviewed by counsel and replace all bracketed placeholders [ … ] (controller identity, contact details, retention periods, processors, etc.) before any publication (website, Play Console, App Store Connect).

1. Who we are

Data controller:

Legal nameSiteOn
Legal form / company number/
Registered office/
Privacy / DPO emailinfo@siteon.be

Depending on how you use SiteOn (especially in a professional context or on behalf of an employer), other controllers (e.g. your employer or the company engaging you on site) may be involved in certain processing. If in doubt, contact the organisation that invited you to install the app.

2. Scope

This policy explains how SiteOn (mobile app for Android and iOS) collects and uses personal data, and what rights you have.

App identifiers (indicative — confirm in the stores):

3. What data do we process?

The categories below reflect the current features of the app (sign-in, construction sites, check-in, employee badge).

3.1 Authentication / mobile account data

3.2 Employee / badge data

This data is stored locally on the device (local database) as needed for the app to work, then synchronised with servers for the SiteOn / backend service configured by the publisher.

3.3 Site data and check-in

3.4 Location

The app declares use of location while using the app and, on iOS, modes that may include background location if the user extends permissions in Settings.

3.5 Camera and NFC

3.6 Company / branding data

3.7 Technical data and logs

No third-party advertising analytics tool was identified in the mobile client codebase at the time of drafting; if you add any (e.g. Firebase), update this policy.

4. Purposes and legal bases (indicative)

PurposeExamples of legal basis (refine with counsel)
Session creation / SMS authenticationPerformance of a contract or pre-contract steps; possible legal obligation on the employer side
Employee identification (badge / QR) and site registrationPerformance of employment / engagement contract; legal obligation regarding worker registration (depending on your framework)
Sending check-ins and photos to the backendSame framework; documented legitimate interest where applicable
Location linked to check-inConsent or obligation / legitimate interest depending on business context (document internally)
Employer branding customisationPerformance of contract / controller’s legitimate interest

Bases must be chosen case by case with your adviser.

5. Recipients and transfers

Transfers outside the EU: if servers or processors are outside the European Economic Area, state the mechanism (standard contractual clauses; note that Privacy Shield is no longer valid for the US — prefer 2023 EU–US Data Privacy Framework compliance or other GDPR safeguards).

6. Retention (to be completed)

State concrete periods (e.g. inactive accounts, server logs 6 / 12 months, photo evidence X years). On-device data may be erased by uninstalling the app or via sign-out / purge features as the product evolves.

7. Security

Appropriate technical and organisational measures: encryption in transit (HTTPS in production), API access control (API key in the client — protect and rotate), secure local storage where feasible, staff training.

8. Your rights (GDPR)

Subject to conditions and exceptions under law, you have in particular the right to:

Send requests to: [privacy@…]. A reasonable proof of identity may be required to prevent fraud.
