This policy explains what personal information SiteBrief collects, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have. We've written it in plain English. If anything is unclear, email us at infositebrief@gmail.com and we'll explain.
SiteBrief is a construction project management platform for UK homeowners, builders and consultants. This policy covers our websites at sitebrief.co.uk and sitebrief.app, and the SiteBrief, SitePlanner and SiteAgent tools provided through them.
We only collect what we need to run the service. Depending on how you use SiteBrief, that may include:
| Information | When we collect it |
|---|---|
| Your name and email address | When you create a free account or get in touch. |
| Project details you enter — e.g. what you're building, rooms, dimensions, budgets, the documents you generate (work briefs, material estimates, payment schedules) | When you use the planning, briefing and document tools. |
| Questions you ask SiteAgent and project descriptions you submit | When you use the SiteAgent assistant. |
| Contact details you add for the builders, suppliers and professionals on your project | When you add contacts to a project. You are responsible for having a reason to share other people's details with us. |
| Basic technical data — browser type, approximate location, and how you use the site | Automatically, to keep the service working and secure. |
We do not ask for or need special-category data (such as health, ethnicity or financial account numbers) to use SiteBrief. Please don't enter it into the tools.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we've considered your rights and only use your data in ways you'd reasonably expect.
Some information — including the projects you build in SitePlanner — is stored locally in your own browser on the device you use, not on our servers. Clearing your browser data removes it.
Information you send us (such as account details, enquiries, and SiteAgent questions) is processed on our behalf by trusted service providers, including hosting and infrastructure suppliers. SiteAgent uses a third-party AI processor to generate responses; the text of your question is sent to that processor to produce an answer. We choose providers that offer appropriate protections, and some may process data outside the UK — where that happens, we rely on safeguards such as the UK's approved transfer mechanisms.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:
If our referral network connects you to a structural engineer or other consultant, that professional becomes responsible for the personal data you then share directly with them under their own privacy terms.
We keep account and enquiry information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards, then delete or anonymise it. Project data held in your browser stays until you clear it. If you'd like us to delete information we hold about you, just ask (see section 8).
SiteBrief uses your browser's local storage to remember things like your theme preference (light or dark) and your in-progress projects. These stay on your device. We keep any analytics minimal and use it only to understand how the service is used and to improve it.
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
To exercise any of these, email infositebrief@gmail.com. You also have the right to complain to the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, though we'd appreciate the chance to put things right first.
SiteBrief is intended for adults managing construction projects. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect their data.
We may update this policy as the service develops. When we make material changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Please check back from time to time.
