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).
Data controller:

| Registered office | / |
| Privacy / DPO email | info@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.
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):
be.itw.siteon;The categories below reflect the current features of the app (sign-in, construction sites, check-in, employee badge).
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.
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.
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.
| Purpose | Examples of legal basis (refine with counsel) |
|---|---|
| Session creation / SMS authentication | Performance of a contract or pre-contract steps; possible legal obligation on the employer side |
| Employee identification (badge / QR) and site registration | Performance of employment / engagement contract; legal obligation regarding worker registration (depending on your framework) |
| Sending check-ins and photos to the backend | Same framework; documented legitimate interest where applicable |
| Location linked to check-in | Consent or obligation / legitimate interest depending on business context (document internally) |
| Employer branding customisation | Performance of contract / controller’s legitimate interest |
Bases must be chosen case by case with your adviser.
[the publisher / controller].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).
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.
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.
