Privacy Policy

Effective date: 19 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how PrepFlo, a product of Shed Built Apps ("PrepFlo," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the PrepFlo mobile app and dealership web dashboard (together, the "Service").

PrepFlo connects motor trade subcontractors — including windscreen repairers, dent repairers, SMART repairers, alloy wheel refurbishers, and trim specialists — with the dealerships that book work with them. This policy applies to two types of users:

  • Subcontractors, who use the PrepFlo mobile app to manage their business and jobs.
  • Dealership Users, who use a web dashboard to book and track jobs with a subcontractor.

If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Service.

1. Information We Collect

a) Information you provide directly

  • Account information: name, email address, phone number, and password or sign-in credentials.
  • Subcontractor business information: business name, logo, trade specialties, service and coverage area, and working hours.
  • Dealership information: dealership name, address, site locations, and the names, emails, and roles of dealership users you add.
  • Job information: vehicle registration, job type, description of work required, urgency, preferred visit dates, site location, and photographs you choose to upload in connection with a job (such as for damage documentation or job completion records).
  • Billing information: if you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by our third-party payment providers (Stripe, Apple App Store). We do not directly store your full card or payment details.
  • Communications: messages you send us for support or feedback.

b) Information collected automatically

  • Device and usage information: device type, operating system and version, app version, and general usage and log data (such as when you open the app or which screens you use), collected to keep the Service running reliably and to diagnose problems.
  • Push notification tokens: a device identifier used solely to deliver notifications relevant to your jobs, such as a new job request or a booking confirmation.
  • Location: dealership and job site addresses are used to plot jobs on a map for route planning. With your permission, we may also access your device's precise GPS location to support navigation to job sites. You can withdraw this permission at any time in your device settings.

c) Information from other users

Because PrepFlo connects subcontractors and dealerships, job and contact information entered by one party (for example, a dealership booking a job) is shared with the other party (the subcontractor serving that dealership), and vice versa, as necessary to operate the Service.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Create and manage accounts, business profiles, and dealership relationships.
  • Enable dealerships to book jobs and subcontractors to view, organise, acknowledge, and schedule them.
  • Send notifications about job status (new requests, confirmed visits, completed jobs).
  • Process subscription payments and manage billing.
  • Provide customer support.
  • Maintain the security, integrity, and performance of the Service.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we do not use your data for third-party advertising.

3. How We Share Your Information

We share information only in the following circumstances:

  • Between subcontractors and dealerships, as described above, to enable job booking and fulfilment.
  • With service providers who help us operate the Service, such as our hosting provider, push notification service (Expo), mapping provider (Google Maps / Apple Maps), and payment processors (Stripe, Apple). These providers only receive the information needed to perform their function and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
  • If required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
  • In connection with a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets — in which case we will notify you of any change in ownership or use of your data.

4. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you close your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, except where we are required to retain certain records (such as billing records) for legal or accounting purposes.

You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at support@shedbuilds.com or via the account deletion option in the app.

5. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and access controls on our systems. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights

If you are located in the UK or European Economic Area, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Request deletion of your data.
  • Restrict or object to certain processing.
  • Receive a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@shedbuilds.com. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

If you are a California resident, you have similar rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect and to request its deletion. We do not sell personal information as defined under the CCPA.

7. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed or stored on servers located outside your country of residence, including outside the UK or EEA. Where this occurs, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses, in accordance with applicable data protection law.

8. Children's Privacy

PrepFlo is a business tool intended for use by adults working in the motor trade. It is not directed at, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, anyone under the age of 16. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by email, and update the "Effective date" at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
