Policy details
Who we are
Service Notifications is an add-on style integration and iPhone companion app that
links your ServiceM8 account to our backend so we can deliver push notifications you configure. The
service is operated independently and is not affiliated with ServiceM8 Limited.
This policy describes how we handle personal data when you use the iOS app, activate the add-on in
ServiceM8, or visit our hosted web pages at
notification-app-2024.web.app.
Data we process
Depending on how you use the app, we may process:
-
ServiceM8 account data — account identifiers, vendor name, staff identifiers,
and OAuth access and refresh tokens. Tokens are stored on secure backend infrastructure and are not
exposed to other users of the app.
-
ServiceM8 business metadata — job, company, schedule, note, attachment, and
inbox metadata only as required to evaluate your notification rules and to show alert text. Full record
content may be retrieved from ServiceM8 APIs when a specific rule needs it.
-
Authentication data — Firebase Authentication identity (such as email or a
federated sign-in subject from Apple or Google) and a per-user profile in Cloud Firestore (preferences,
trigger settings, delivery history).
-
Device data — Apple Push Notification / FCM device tokens to deliver
notifications to your iPhone, and optional location data when you create location-based reminders
(with your permission).
-
Technical logs — webhook delivery attempts, errors, and similar operational
records for reliability, debugging, and support. We aim to keep retention proportionate to these
purposes.
We do not sell your personal data.
How we use data
We use the data above to:
- Authenticate you and keep your session secure.
- Connect and maintain your ServiceM8 OAuth integration.
- Register and process ServiceM8 event webhooks according to your trigger settings.
- Send push notifications and optional reminders you configure.
- Show delivery history and status inside the app.
- Respond to support requests and improve reliability of the service.
Processors and third-party services
We use sub-processors and APIs to run the service. Their own terms and privacy notices apply to their
handling of data:
-

Messaging, and Hosting.

Retention
We retain data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. If you request
deletion or disconnect the add-on, we delete or anonymise associated profile and token data within a
reasonable period, except where we must keep limited records for legal or security purposes.
Security
We use industry-standard measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls on backend
systems, and separation of user data in Firestore. No method of transmission or storage is completely
secure; please use a strong device passcode and protect your ServiceM8 credentials.

- Turn notification triggers on or off in the app.

managed triggers.

not knowingly collect personal data from children.
