Privacy Policy
Effective: April 22, 2026 · Last updated: August 3, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how YV Consulting Inc. d/b/a OparBase (“OparBase,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit oparbase.com, use our platform, or otherwise interact with OparBase — an AI-native customer relationship and operations platform for construction and trades businesses (collectively, the “Services”).
If you do not agree with this Policy, do not use the Services.
Summary
- • What we collect: account info, business data, content you submit (photos, documents, messages), payment info processed by our payment processors, technical data (IP, device, cookies), and data from integrations you authorize (e.g., QuickBooks, Google, Meta).
- • Why we collect it: to provide and improve the Services, operate your account, communicate with you, prevent fraud, comply with law, and — where you enable it — generate AI-assisted insights.
- • We do not sell personal information as defined by CCPA/CPRA or any other US state law.
- • AI processing: we use third-party AI providers (including Anthropic) to power features inside the Services. We do not use your content to train public AI models.
- • Global Privacy Control (GPC): we honor GPC browser signals as a valid opt-out of “sale” and “sharing” in all US states where applicable.
- • Contact: support@oparbase.com
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information you provide
- Account data: name, email, phone, password (hashed), business name, role, license numbers (e.g., CSLB).
- Customer & project data: information about your customers, jobs, properties, subcontractors, vendors, employees, and related documents, photos, and communications you upload or create in the Services.
- Payment information: payment-card and bank data you submit are processed by PCI-compliant payment processors (e.g., Stripe, Intuit QuickBooks Payments). We do not store full card numbers.
- Support communications: messages, screenshots, and attachments you send to our support team.
- Marketing consents: email and SMS subscription preferences.
1.2 Information collected automatically
- Device & log data: IP address, browser type, OS, device identifiers, referring URLs, pages viewed, timestamps, crash logs.
- Cookies and similar technologies: see Cookie Policy.
- Product analytics: in-app events that help us understand feature usage (via PostHog). Pseudonymous by default.
1.3 Information from third parties and integrations
When you connect a third-party service, we receive data as you authorize:
- Accounting: QuickBooks Online — invoices, bills, chart of accounts, vendor/customer lists, transactions.
- Communications: RingCentral, Resend — messages, call metadata, delivery receipts.
- Advertising and marketing: Google Ads, Meta Ads — campaign performance, lead data.
- Reviews and listings: Google Business Profile, Yelp, Angi, Thumbtack, Houzz — reviews, inquiries, profile data.
- Field and ops: CompanyCam, PandaDoc, DocuSeal — photos, documents, signatures.
- Google Workspace: Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive — see Section 1A for exactly what we access, why, and how to revoke it.
- Single sign-on: if you use Google or another SSO provider, we receive the profile fields you authorize (name, email, profile picture). We do not post to your social accounts without your action.
1.4 Sensitive personal information
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information as defined under CCPA/CPRA or any other US state privacy law (e.g., precise geolocation, government ID numbers, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health data, biometric identifiers, or sexual orientation).
1.5 Information about minors
The Services are not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us personal information, contact support@oparbase.com and we will delete it.
1A. Google Workspace Data (Google API Services)
OparBase — identified as “Opar Platform” on Google consent screens — offers optional integrations that access your Google account data through Google APIs. These integrations are off by default. Nothing below happens unless you personally connect your Google account and grant the specific permissions shown on the Google consent screen.
1A.1 What we access and why
| Google data | Why we access it | What we retain |
|---|---|---|
| Calendar events (view and edit) | Create and update client appointments and project milestones you schedule in OparBase, attach a Google Meet link, and check free/busy so we do not double-book you. We also read events you tag as consultations so the assigned project manager is set automatically. | The Google event ID, Meet URL, and appointment time, linked to the OparBase lead or job. |
| Sending email on your behalf | Send proposals, follow-ups, and client communications from your own address so replies reach you rather than a no-reply mailbox. | A copy of the message we sent, plus delivery and open status, on the related job or lead record. |
| Reading your Gmail messages | Find receipt and invoice attachments so job costs can be recorded without manual entry, and log client emails onto the matching job timeline. | Receipt and invoice attachments you accept, and the sender, subject, date, and body of messages matched to one of your jobs or leads. Unmatched mail is not retained. |
| Google Drive files you select | Save signed contracts, proposals, and change orders into a backup folder in your own Drive, and let you pick an existing Drive file to use inside a proposal. | The Drive file ID and name of files we create or that you explicitly select. We cannot see any other file in your Drive. |
| Basic profile (name, email, picture) | Identify which Google account is connected, sign you in, and make sure one user’s Google data is never shown to another user. | Your Google email address on your OparBase user record. |
1A.2 How this data is stored and protected
Google data is stored in our primary database in the United States, encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), and isolated per company by row-level security. Your Google access and refresh tokens are stored encrypted and are used only to make the API calls described above. Access to Google data inside OparBase is scoped to your own account — other users in your company cannot see the contents of your mailbox, calendar, or Drive through OparBase.
1A.3 What we never do with Google data
- We do not sell or rent it, and we do not transfer it to data brokers or information resellers.
- We do not use it for advertising, ad targeting, or ad measurement of any kind.
- We do not use Google Workspace APIs to develop, improve, or train generalized or non-personalized AI and/or ML models. Our AI providers are contractually barred from doing so as well.
- We do not transfer it to data brokers or information resellers, and we do not use it for credit-worthiness or lending-eligibility purposes.
- We do not allow humans to read your Google data, except where you explicitly ask us to (for example, a support request), where it is necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse, where required by law, or on aggregated and de-identified data used to improve the product.
1A.4 AI processing of Google data
Where you enable AI features, the specific content needed for a task — for example the text of a receipt attachment being itemized, or an email thread being summarized onto a job timeline — may be sent to our AI providers (including Anthropic) to generate that output. This processing is transient, subject to zero- or limited-retention terms, and never used to train their models. See Section 3 for details, and contact us to disable AI features for your company.
1A.5 Revoking access and deleting Google data
You can disconnect a Google integration at any time from Settings → Integrations in OparBase, which deletes the stored tokens and stops all further access. You can also revoke OparBase’s access directly at myaccount.google.com/permissions. To have Google-derived data already stored in OparBase deleted, email support@oparbase.com and we will delete it within 30 days, except where we must retain records to comply with law.
2. How We Use Information
We process personal information for the following purposes:
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR/UK) |
|---|---|
| Provide, maintain, and secure the Services | Contract; legitimate interests |
| Process payments and invoice you | Contract |
| Communicate about your account and the Services | Contract; legitimate interests |
| Provide customer support | Contract; legitimate interests |
| Prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access | Legitimate interests; legal obligation |
| Comply with tax, accounting, and other legal obligations | Legal obligation |
| Send marketing communications (you can opt out) | Consent; legitimate interests |
| Generate AI-assisted features (summaries, drafting, insights) | Contract; legitimate interests |
| Improve the Services (aggregated analytics) | Legitimate interests |
| Defend legal claims | Legitimate interests |
3. AI Processing
The Services use large language models and other AI systems from third-party providers — including Anthropic — to power features such as summarization, drafting, classification, and conversational assistance.
- Your content may be sent to these providers to generate outputs in the Services.
- We do not permit our AI providers to use your content to train their public or foundation models. Our contracts with providers such as Anthropic include a zero-retention or limited-retention commitment consistent with their enterprise API terms.
- Outputs may contain errors. AI-generated content is not a substitute for professional judgment. Review before acting on it.
- You can disable AI features for your tenant by contacting support@oparbase.com.
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information for money. We share information only as follows:
- Service providers / subprocessors (hosting, databases, email, SMS, analytics, payment processors, AI providers).
- Integrations you authorize. We share data with third-party platforms only at your direction (e.g., pushing an invoice to QuickBooks).
- Professional advisors (lawyers, accountants, auditors) bound by confidentiality.
- Business transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to continuity of this Policy.
- Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect rights, property, or safety.
- Aggregated or de-identified data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
4.1 “Sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising
Certain US state laws treat the use of advertising cookies and pixels as “sharing” even when no money changes hands. OparBase uses advertising technologies (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Ads tags) on our marketing website. You can opt out via our cookie banner, by enabling Global Privacy Control in your browser, or through the links in Your Rights.
5. International Data Transfers
OparBase is based in the United States and stores and processes data primarily in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the US, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the US and other countries where our subprocessors operate. Where required by law, we use appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
6. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, analyze usage, and — with your consent — measure advertising. See our full Cookie Policy for details on what we use, why, and how to manage your preferences.
6.1 Global Privacy Control
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal. When we detect GPC, we treat it as a valid opt-out of “sale” and “sharing” under CCPA/CPRA and equivalent state laws, and we do not fire advertising tags for that visitor.
6.2 Do Not Track
There is no consensus industry standard for Do Not Track. We respond to GPC signals (see above) but do not separately respond to DNT headers.
6A. Mobile Applications
We distribute OparBase as native iOS and Android apps in addition to the web product. The native shells load the same Services described above and use the following device capabilities:
- Camera — used only when you tap a camera control in the app to capture job-site photos that you choose to attach to a record. We never access the camera in the background.
- Photo library — used only when you tap an attach-photo control to select existing photos. We never read the library without a user-initiated action.
- Push notifications — used to deliver alerts you have opted into (assignments, payments, sub compliance, etc.). The system permission prompt is shown only when you actively enable push from within the app. You can disable push at any time from OS settings.
- Network state — used to detect offline conditions and show an offline indicator. No network metadata leaves the device.
We do not request your contacts, precise location, microphone, or on-device calendar permission from the native apps, and we do not read any data stored on your device beyond the photos you attach. This is separate from the optional Google Workspace integrations described in Section 1A, which access your Google account through Google’s APIs only after you connect it and only on the web product. We do not use any device advertising identifier (no IDFA, no Android Advertising ID), and we do not embed third-party analytics or advertising SDKs in the native shells.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax and accounting — typically 7 years), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
When retention is no longer required, we delete or irreversibly anonymize the data. Backups are retained for up to 90 days and then overwritten. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time — see Your Rights.
8. Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including:
- Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256).
- Role-based access controls and least-privilege access.
- Multi-factor authentication for administrative access.
- Row-level security on customer data in our primary database.
- Logging, monitoring, and automated alerting.
- Vendor and subprocessor security review.
- Regular backups and tested restoration procedures.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact support@oparbase.com immediately.
9. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights:
- Access / Know — confirm whether we process your information and obtain a copy.
- Correct — request correction of inaccurate information.
- Delete — request deletion of your personal information.
- Portability — receive a copy in a machine-readable format.
- Opt out of sale or sharing — including cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Opt out of targeted advertising.
- Appeal — if we deny your request, you may appeal our decision.
- Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent.
- Non-discrimination — we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
9.1 How to exercise your rights
Submit a request at /legal/privacy-request or email support@oparbase.com. We verify requests using the email on your account. We respond within the time required by law (generally 45 days, extendable once).
9.2 California notice (CCPA/CPRA)
In the preceding 12 months we have collected the categories of personal information listed in Section 1. We have not sold personal information for money. We have “shared” advertising-related identifiers as described in Section 4.1, which you can opt out of at any time. To exercise your “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” right, visit /legal/privacy-request or enable Global Privacy Control.
9.3 Other US state notices
If you are a resident of Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Montana, or other states with privacy laws comparable to CCPA, you have equivalent rights. Use /legal/privacy-request to exercise them. Appeals can be sent to support@oparbase.com.
9.4 EEA, UK, and Swiss residents
You have rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR, including the rights listed above plus the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. Our legal bases for processing are listed in Section 2.
10. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where required by law, notify you by email or in-product notice. The current Policy always governs your use of the Services.
