Your record is yours

Your record is tied to your account: no other account can see your photos, your notes or where you worked — unless you put them on a job. Your crew — people you added, each after you both said yes — sees your name and only what you send them: each photo, clip or note lands in their Tradesman as their own copy, with when and where it was taken and your note. Never your jobs, your days, your tasks or where you are; take someone off your crew and nothing more goes, while what was sent stays with them. Put someone on one of your jobs and they see everything on it except your tasks — its photos, clips, notes, docs and where each was taken — in their own Tradesman and in their own Claude, and what they add lands on it for you too. Take them off the job, or off your crew, and that ends. The people you add by email are kept for you alone. If one of them uses Tradesman they’re asked, in their own app, to join your crew — and you’re told the same thing either way, so no one learns from Tradesman whether an address has an account. Sending to someone by email opens your own email app holding a link; you send it. Your own link — tradesman.ai and a name made from yours, which you can change — exists only once you make it or first send it. Anyone who types it can open it, not only the people you send it to: signed out they see your first name, signed in your name, and nothing else of yours; they can ask to be on your crew, you say yes or no in your app, and a no is never told to them. Turn on Public and search engines may list it with your name. Change it, make it public or turn it off on the You page. Share a link to one photo or clip (or ask your Claude for one, a note too) and it opens that one item for anyone you send it to — no account — for 30 days; Stop sharing on its job, or deleting it, closes it sooner. Share a day from its ⋯ and the link opens that one day’s photos, clips and notes — never your tasks, which stay yours — as the day stands when it’s opened, with its Model, which shows where each was taken — for 30 days; Stop sharing closes it, with every other link to its jobs — and Stop sharing this job, in a job’s ⋯, closes every link to that job at once. Share a 360 walk’s tour from the tour itself and the link opens that walk’s photographs spot by spot, its floor plan and its dollhouse, for anyone holding it — never where it was walked, never the rest of the job — for 30 days; Stop sharing on its job closes it. A 360 walk you build on your own computer (You › Settings › This phone › Your computer) goes from your phone to that computer over your own Wi-Fi and nowhere else — not to Tradesman’s servers, not to a log — is built there by an engine that holds back any stop with another person in it, and comes back to your Record as a tour you open from your computer. A shared photo goes out as a fresh copy with no location or camera details in it — but someone who opens it can save what they see, and a shared video can still carry where it was filmed if the phone that filmed it wrote that into the file.

We don’t sell your record or train any AI on it, and neither do the companies below. Your work is offered for training only if you say yes — never by default, and never without your name on it and your share of what it earns.

Ask about a job and it’s your Claude that reads your record — through the connector you set up, on your own plan. Tradesman is the record; the mind is yours.

Tradesman’s computer no longer counts or follows the people the 360 camera sees — its person tracker was removed on October 8. (September’s camera shifts did; what they kept is in your record, and deleting your account removes it.) The Android app’s live view still runs September’s person-finder on the phone while you watch — nothing in the app shows it, and nothing of it is saved or sent; the next app update takes it out. Making a clip 4D is the one place people are kept: it finds the people in the clip, and anything else that moved, and keeps their shape and colour in 3D, frame by frame, with the clip — never who anyone is from one frame to the next. Delete the clip and its 4D goes too, within hours. A 4D video you save or share is yours to keep, the people in it included — deleting the clip doesn’t reach it. Sound is recorded only when you press record on a clip or a voice note; nothing listens in the background.

Every time the app reaches outside — Claude, a map, a street name, the camera — it writes a line in a log. Where your record went shows you yours, in plain words: who was asked, what for, how often.

Download your record — every photo, clip and 360 walk in its own file, by job and day, with an index that opens in any browser, no app needed.

Delete your account — everything on it leaves our storage, for good. What stays: the working copies on Tradesman’s own computer, usually within a day while it clears them — longer if that computer is off, a file your record only pointed to on someone else’s site, and one line saying an account was deleted, with counts and nothing of yours. Both are on the You tab.

Company jobs. On a job you work for a company, who owns the photos of the customer’s building — you or the company — we’re still answering.

Files open by address. A photo’s file opens for anyone holding its exact address — long, unguessable and shown only to you — but we’re moving to links that expire.

Other people’s faces. Faces of people who never agreed aren’t blurred yet — that is on the list.
