Halobra ("we," "us," or "our") builds a mobile app that helps independent contractors create professional estimates. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Halobra app collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Halobra, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Who this applies to
Halobra is intended for use by adults aged 18 and older. The app is designed for professional contractors and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
2. Information we collect
Account and business information
When you create an account and set up your profile, we collect:
- Your email address and password (used to sign in and secure your account).
- Business details you choose to enter, such as your business name, phone number, and license number.
Client and estimate information
When you create estimates, you may enter information about your clients (such as name, phone number, and job address) and the details of the work. This information is stored in your account so you can manage and share your estimates.
Voice recordings
If you dictate a job by voice, the audio is sent to our server, converted to text, and used to generate your estimate. The audio recording itself is processed in memory and is not saved to our servers or database. Only the resulting text and estimate are kept in your account.
Photos
If you take or select photos of a work area, those images are sent to our server and analyzed to help generate your estimate. The photos are processed in memory and are not stored on our servers or database after the estimate is created.
Location
The current version of Halobra does not collect your location. A future version may request location access to support features such as finding nearby suppliers (for example, home improvement stores). If we add this, the app will ask for your permission first, and you will be able to decline. We are including this notice in advance for transparency.
3. How we use your information
- To provide and operate the app — creating, pricing, and generating your estimates.
- To let you sign in and keep your account secure.
- To generate professional PDF documents you can share with your clients.
- To respond to your requests and provide support.
We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell it.
4. Service providers
To operate the app, we rely on a small number of trusted third-party services that process data on our behalf:
- Supabase — securely stores your account, client, and estimate data.
- Anthropic (Claude) — processes your dictated text and photos to extract the line items for your estimate.
- Railway — hosts our server infrastructure.
These providers are only permitted to use the information as needed to provide their services to us. We share data with them solely to make the app function.
5. What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent your personal information.
- We do not display advertising in the app.
- We do not use third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising tools.
- We do not store your voice recordings or photos after your estimate is generated.
6. Data retention
We keep your account, client, and estimate information for as long as your account is active. When you delete an item — such as an estimate or a client — it is removed from your account. You may request deletion of your account at any time (see below), after which your associated data is deleted.
7. Your rights and choices
- Access and correction: You can view and update your profile and business information in the app.
- Deletion: You can delete your account from within the app, or by contacting us. Deleting your account removes your associated data.
- Permissions: You control microphone, camera, and photo access through your device settings, and can change these at any time.
8. Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and secure storage of your session on your device. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
