Effective date: July 11, 2026

Operator: JKR Inc. (“us”, “we”, or “our”)

Application: CHKITS mobile application (the “Service”)

Contact: info@chkits.com

This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect when you use the CHKITS mobile application, how we use and share that information, how long we keep it, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to all users of the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

We comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other applicable Canadian privacy laws.

  1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Account information – Email address and password, collected when you create an account and used to sign you in. Passwords are handled by Google Firebase Authentication; we never store your password in readable form.

Content you create in the app

  • Equipment inspection records, including checklist results (pass/fail), equipment names, models, and serial numbers, inspection dates, inspector names, and comments.
  • Photos you take or select from your device to attach to inspection items.
  • Inspection reports generated from your records, including PDF documents.
  • Barcode and QR code values scanned with your device camera to identify equipment.

Information collected automatically

  • Basic device information (such as device model and operating system version) and network connectivity status, used to operate the app reliably and to diagnose problems.
  • Crash and diagnostic information provided by Google Firebase services.

We do NOT collect precise location data, contacts, advertising identifiers, or biometric data. The Service does not display third-party advertising.

  1. DEVICE PERMISSIONS WE REQUEST
  • Camera: to take photos of equipment and to scan barcodes/QR codes.
  • Photos/media/storage: to attach existing images to inspections and to save or open generated PDF reports.
  • Network access: to synchronize your inspection data with cloud storage.

You may decline a permission; related features will be unavailable, but the rest of the Service will continue to function where possible.

  1. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect to:

  • Create and manage your account and authenticate you
  • Record, store, and synchronize your equipment inspections
  • Generate inspection reports and enable you to share them by email or print
  • Maintain, support, troubleshoot, and improve the Service
  • Protect the security and integrity of the Service; and – comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising or marketing.

  1. WHERE YOUR DATA IS STORED AND WHO WE SHARE IT WITH

Your data is stored in Google Firebase services (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Cloud Storage), operated by Google LLC, acting as our service provider. Data may be processed on servers located outside of Canada, including in the United States. Google’s privacy practices are described at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Some inspection data is also cached locally on your device so the app can work offline; this local data remains on your device and is removed when the app is uninstalled.

We share personal information only:

  • With service providers (such as Google Firebase) that process it on our behalf under appropriate safeguards
  • Within your organization, where your account is part of a team or employer deployment and inspection records are shared with supervisors or other authorized users
  • When you choose to share it (for example, emailing an inspection report to a recipient you select)
  • Where required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of JKR Inc., our users, or the public.
  1. DATA RETENTION

We retain your account information and inspection records for as long as your account is active, and as needed to provide the Service. Inspection records may also be retained as required to meet legal, regulatory, or workplace-safety record-keeping obligations. When retention is no longer required, data is deleted or anonymized.

  1. DATA DELETION — YOUR CHOICES

You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time by emailing info@chkits.com from the email address associated with your account, with the subject line “Data Deletion Request.”

Upon receiving a verified request, we will delete your account and associated personal data within thirty (30) days, except for information we are required or permitted to retain by applicable law (for example, records necessary for legal, regulatory, tax, security, or fraud-prevention purposes). Where such retention applies, we will inform you of the categories of data retained and the reason. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

Details of the deletion process are also published at our account deletion page (see our store listing or the “Account and Data Deletion” section below).

  1. SECURITY

Data is encrypted in transit using industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS) and stored in Google Firebase services with encryption at rest. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  1. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Service is a workplace tool intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us at info@chkits.com and we will delete it.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to request corrections, to withdraw consent, and to request deletion. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@chkits.com. You also have the right to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

  1. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy at this address and update the effective date above. If a change is material, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice within the Service before it takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

WHAT MAY BE RETAINED, AND FOR HOW LONG

Some information may be retained after account deletion where we are required or permitted to do so by applicable law — for example, records necessary for legal, regulatory, tax, security, fraud-prevention, or workplace-safety record-keeping purposes. Where such retention applies, we will inform you of the categories of data retained and the reason. Retained records are kept only as long as the applicable obligation requires and are then deleted or anonymized.

If your account is part of a team or employer deployment, inspection records that your organization is required to keep for workplace-safety compliance may be retained by the organization; contact your administrator for details.
