Privacy Policy — PIT (Mobile)

Last updated 2026-10-06

This policy covers the PIT mobile app (iOS and Android), published by Xeratec. It is a companion to the broader PIT Privacy Policy and applies only to data handled by the mobile app.

1. What the app does

PIT (formerly PIT Receipts) is the field companion to the PIT platform for internal team members. It has three modes: Receipts (capture receipt photos and record expense details and mileage), Sales (work a planned sales route — log visits, notes and follow-ups for the businesses on it) and Time (view your week and log time). The app is a thin client; all data is stored on PIT's servers and is only visible to you and the people your organization authorizes in PIT.

2. Data the app collects

Account credentials. When you sign in, the app sends your PIT email and password over HTTPS to authenticate. Your password is never stored on the device. A short-lived session token is stored in the device's secure storage (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore) to keep you signed in.

Receipt content you create. Photos you capture or choose, plus the description, date, amount, billable flag, customer, and project you enter. This data is uploaded to PIT's servers when you save a receipt. Mileage entries you log (date, distance, purpose) are uploaded the same way.

Sales and time data you enter. In Sales mode: visits you log on your route, notes, visit scores, follow-ups and meetings, and any contact details (name, email, phone) you record for the businesses you visit. In Time mode: the time entries you log and submit. This is uploaded to PIT when you save it, or when your phone next has a connection if you were offline.

Camera and photo library access. The app requests camera access only when you tap “New Receipt” to capture a photo. To import an existing photo it uses the system photo picker (on Android, the app holds no storage or media permission at all), so it only ever receives the photo you select. The app does not read your camera roll in the background.

On-device text recognition (OCR). To auto-fill the amount field, the app runs text recognition locally on the captured image using Apple Vision (iOS) or Google ML Kit Text Recognition (Android). This runs entirely on your device — the image is not sent to any server for OCR. Only the receipt image and the fields you confirm are uploaded to PIT.

No analytics, tracking, or advertising. The app does not include any third-party analytics, advertising, attribution, crash-reporting or tracking SDKs. We do not collect device identifiers, your location, your phone's contacts, or usage telemetry.

3. How your data is used

  • To authenticate you against your PIT account.
  • To store the receipts you create so you and authorized PIT administrators in your organization can view them later.
  • To associate receipts with the customer or project you select for billing and reporting inside PIT.
  • To record your sales visits and follow-ups and your logged time in your organization's PIT workspace.

We do not sell your data, share it for advertising, or use it to train AI or machine-learning models.

4. Where your data is stored

Receipt metadata (description, amount, dates, customer, project), mileage, sales activity and time entries are stored in PIT's managed Postgres database. Receipt images are stored in encrypted object storage (Amazon S3) and are only retrievable with a valid PIT session that belongs to the receipt's owner or a PIT administrator. All network traffic between the app and PIT's servers uses TLS.

5. Data sharing

The mobile app does not share your data with any third party. The only network destination it contacts is PIT's own backend at the domain configured by your organization (typically pit.xeratec.com).

PIT's backend uses cloud hosting (Railway) and object storage (Amazon S3) as subprocessors to operate the service, as described in the main PIT Privacy Policy.

6. Data retention and deletion

Receipts, sales activity and time entries remain in PIT until you or your organization delete them. Deleting a receipt in the app removes its metadata from the database and its image from object storage within minutes.

To delete your mobile session, sign out from the app — this clears the session token from your device's secure storage. To delete your account and all associated data, contact your PIT administrator or email privacy@projectissuetracker.com. Account deletion removes personal data within 30 days, excluding encrypted backups that roll off within 90 days.

7. Security

The app authenticates with a bearer session token stored in the iOS Keychain or Android Keystore — the same secure-storage subsystem your device uses for its own passwords. All network requests use TLS. Server-side, receipt images are protected by an owner/admin authorization gate; no public URLs are issued. Report suspected vulnerabilities to privacy@projectissuetracker.com.

8. Permissions in detail

Camera (NSCameraUsageDescription / CAMERA): used only when you tap “New Receipt” to capture a document photo via your device's document scanner.

Photo library (iOS NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription): used only when you choose “Pick from library” to import an existing photo. The app reads only the image you select. On Android the app uses the system photo picker and requests no storage or media permission.

Network: the app communicates only with PIT's backend over HTTPS.

9. Children

The app is intended for internal business use by authorized employees and contractors and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. Email privacy@projectissuetracker.com and we will respond within 30 days.

11. Changes to this policy

Material changes will be announced via an in-app notice or app update release notes. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the current revision.
