Privacy Policy

trAIde Tools · Last updated: April 2026

trAIde Tools ("we," "us," or "our") builds and operates custom AI automation software for tradesmen and service businesses, including Fresh Air Heating & Cooling. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information in connection with our software products and services.

Information We Collect

Through our software products, the following types of data may be collected and stored on behalf of our clients:

  • Customer names, phone numbers, email addresses, and service addresses
  • Equipment details (brand, model, serial number, service history)
  • Job and appointment records
  • Quote and invoice information
  • SMS communication logs

This data is entered and owned by our clients (the businesses using trAIde Tools). End customers interact with our software only through the businesses we serve.

How We Use Information

Data collected through trAIde Tools products is used solely to:

  • Power the features of the software (scheduling, invoicing, customer management, SMS notifications)
  • Sync with third-party services authorized by our clients (e.g. QuickBooks, Stripe, Twilio)
  • Improve product reliability and performance

SMS Communications

Our software enables businesses to send SMS messages to their customers for service-related notifications, including appointment alerts, technician arrival notifications, payment links, and follow-up messages.

Consent is collected via a two-step process. During service intake, technicians verbally ask the customer for their mobile number and inform them they will receive a text to confirm enrollment. Once the number is entered into the digital intake form, the customer is sent a single opt-in invitation SMS asking them to reply JOIN. Only customers who reply JOIN are enrolled. Customers who do not reply receive no further messages. Consent is not a condition of service.

End customers may reply STOP at any time to unsubscribe or HELP for assistance. For full opt-in process details, see traidetools.com/sms-consent.

Google User Data

When a business client connects their Google account, trAIde Tools may access the following Google user data:

  • Google Sign-In: Name, email address, and profile photo to create and authenticate the user's trAIde Tools account. We do not store your Google password.
  • Google Calendar: Read and write access to calendar events in order to sync scheduled jobs and appointments. Only calendars explicitly authorized are accessed.
  • Google Forms: Read access to form responses submitted through connected Google Forms, surfaced within the trAIde Tools app for the business client.

How we use Google data: Google user data is used solely to provide the features requested by the authorized business client. We do not sell, share, or use Google user data for advertising or any purpose unrelated to operating the Service. We store the minimum data necessary and only for as long as needed.

Retention of Google user data: Google user data (including calendar events synced and form responses read) is retained only for as long as the business client maintains an active trAIde Tools account and the Google integration remains connected. Calendar event data is kept in sync with Google Calendar and is not independently stored beyond what is required to display it in the app. Form response data is cached temporarily and refreshed on demand.

Deletion of Google user data: You may disconnect the Google integration at any time from the trAIde Tools Settings page, which immediately revokes our access token and stops all further data access. When a business client deletes their trAIde Tools account, all associated Google user data held by us is permanently deleted within 30 days. You may also revoke our access directly via your Google Account Permissions page.

Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Data may be shared with the following service providers solely to deliver software functionality:

  • Supabase — database and storage
  • Clerk — user authentication
  • Twilio — SMS delivery
  • Stripe — payment processing
  • Intuit QuickBooks — accounting sync

Specific SMS Exception: Notwithstanding the above, mobile information and SMS originator opt-in data will not be shared with any third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All other data sharing categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security practices including encrypted data storage, secure authentication, and access controls. Data is accessible only to the authorized business client and their team.
