3. Third-Party Services
TradiePro uses the following third-party services that may collect or process your data:
- Google Firebase – Authentication, database, cloud storage, and hosting. Privacy policy

- Stripe – Client-to-tradie payment processing (where enabled). Privacy policy
- SendGrid (Twilio) – Transactional email delivery. Privacy policy

These services are bound by their own privacy policies and data processing agreements. We only share data with third parties as necessary to deliver the service.
3a. AI Plan Analysis — what happens to your documents
The Plan Analyser is an optional feature. It only ever processes files you deliberately upload to it. If you never use it, nothing described in this section applies to you.
When you upload a plan or photo to the Plan Analyser, that file is sent to Google's Gemini API so the content can be read and the relevant areas, materials and standards extracted. The file leaves our servers and is processed on Google's infrastructure, which is located outside Australia.
Please read this before uploading: we currently use the free tier of the Gemini API. On that tier, Google states that content submitted to the service may be used by Google to improve their products, including training their models. This applies to whatever appears in the documents you upload — which may include your client's name, their address, and the layout of their property.
What this means in practice:
- Do not upload a plan unless you are comfortable with it being processed on these terms.
- If a client has asked you to keep their drawings confidential, do not put them through the Plan Analyser.
- Remove or obscure anything you would not want retained before uploading, where you can.
- Every other part of TradiePro — quotes, invoices, jobs, clients, photos — is unaffected. Nothing else is sent to an AI service.
We keep a record of each analysis (the date, the trade type, what you asked to be extracted, and the size of the request) so we can measure usage and cost. We do not retain a copy of the uploaded file after the analysis is returned.
If we move to a paid tier of this service, on which submitted content is not used for product improvement, we will update this policy and tell you.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored securely on Google Firebase servers, which are located in the United States and subject to Google's security standards. We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure.
While we take reasonable precautions, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Data Retention
We retain your account and business data for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your subscription and close your account, we will delete your personal data within 90 days, unless we are required to retain it for legal or tax compliance purposes.
6. Your Rights (Australian Privacy Act 1988)
Under the Australian Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), you have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
- Request deletion of your data (subject to legal obligations)
- Opt out of marketing communications at any time
- Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au
7. Children's Privacy
TradiePro is designed for use by trade business owners and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by email or by displaying a notice within the app. The updated policy will be effective from the date it is posted on this page.
