Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how SAS Connect collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information obtained through your interaction with the platform. SAS Connect supports operational workflows such as shift management, project tracking, and reporting, which may require access to data including your device's camera and location. By using SAS, you agree to the terms outlined in this document.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Device Permissions

Camera Access

SAS may request access to your device's camera for two primary purposes:

  • Profile Photo Upload: To allow users to upload or update their profile pictures within the platform for user identification and personalization.
  • Project Photo Uploads: To capture and upload images related to project activities or field tasks as part of documentation, verification, and reporting features.

Camera access is only triggered when the user initiates a photo capture or upload action. SAS Connect does not use the camera in the background or without your consent. You can manage camera permissions in your device settings.

Location Access

SAS Connect collects real-time location data when the app is actively in use to:

  • Assign work dynamically based on geographic location
  • Track field activities and task locations
  • Support accurate project mapping and reporting

Location data is not collected when the application is closed or idle. Disabling location access may limit the availability of some work assignment and tracking features.
