Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 1st March 2026

Welcome to BuildPredictIQ. This Privacy Policy outlines how BuildPredictIQ ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your personal information and project data when you use our analytical risk engine, website, and related services (collectively, the "Services"), including our integration via the Google AI Marketplace. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data transparently in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with you or your organisation. The types of information we collect include:

1.1 Information You Provide to Us

When you interact with our Services, such as requesting enterprise access or installing our application via the Google AI Marketplace, you may provide us with direct information. This includes your full name, the name of your organisation, and your work email address.

Additionally, as part of the core functionality of BuildPredictIQ, you will input project-specific data to generate risk matrices. This data may include project names, budgets, timelines, project types, locations (such as Sydney CBD), and other relevant construction metrics.

1.2 Acceptable Data Upload

You warrant that you have the legal right to upload all documents, project information, and other materials submitted to the Services and that such submission does not breach confidentiality obligations, intellectual property rights, or contractual restrictions.

1.3 Information Collected Automatically

When you access our website or use our Services, we may automatically collect certain technical data. This information includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, and data regarding your interaction with our platform, such as the pages viewed and the time spent on our site. We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to gather this data and enhance your user experience.

1.4 Information from Third Parties

If you access or install BuildPredictIQ through the Google AI Marketplace, we may receive certain information from Google in accordance with their privacy policies and your account settings. This information is used to facilitate the integration and manage your enterprise access.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for various business and operational purposes, primarily to deliver and improve our analytical risk engine.

2.1 Service Delivery and Operations

Your personal and project data are essential for generating the risk probability and impact matrices that BuildPredictIQ provides. We use this information to analyse core risk vectors—including geotechnical, financial, commercial, schedule, and compliance factors—and deliver actionable insights tailored to your specific construction projects. Furthermore, your contact information is used to manage your enterprise access requests, communicate with you regarding your account, and provide customer support.

2.2 Improvement and Development

We continuously strive to enhance the accuracy and functionality of our predictive models. We may use aggregated and anonymised project data to train our algorithms, improve our risk assessment methodologies, and develop new features for the Australian construction industry. Personal identifiers are removed before data is used for these developmental purposes.

2.3 Marketing and Communications

With your consent where required by law, we may use your contact information to send you updates, newsletters, promotional materials, and information about new features or services that may be of interest to your organisation. You can opt out of receiving these communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the emails.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information in the following circumstances:

3.1 Service Providers

We may engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as cloud hosting, data analytics, email delivery, and customer support. These providers have access to your information only to perform specific tasks and are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it solely for the purposes for which it was disclosed.

3.2 Google AI Marketplace Integration

As our Services are integrated with the Google AI Marketplace, certain data may be shared with Google to facilitate the operation of the application within their ecosystem. The use of this data is subject to Google's respective privacy policies and terms of service.

3.3 Legal and Regulatory Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, or legal process, such as a subpoena or court order. We may also share information to protect the rights, property, or safety of BuildPredictIQ, our users, or the public, or to enforce our Terms of Service.

3.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information.

4. Data Security and Retention

We implement robust technical and organisational measures to protect your personal and project data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security protocols include encryption, secure server hosting, and regular security assessments.

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify it.

4.1 Data Storage Location

Personal and project data may be stored on secure cloud infrastructure located in Australia or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. Where data is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient complies with privacy obligations equivalent to the Australian Privacy Principles.

In the event of a data breach likely to result in serious harm, BuildPredictIQ will comply with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme and notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner where required.
