FieldworkFriend ("we", "us", "our") provides software to help people accruing hours toward BCBA exam eligibility, RBTs, and supervisors organize fieldwork hours, documentation, and verification forms. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

- Fieldwork content — hours, activities, notes, competency entries, IOA data, and verification-form information you enter.
- Usage data — basic analytics (pages viewed, approximate timing) used to operate and improve the service.
- Cookies / local storage — used to keep you signed in and remember preferences.
2. How we use information
- Provide the service, including hour tracking, verification-form generation, and supervisor / trainee collaboration.
- Communicate with you about your account, verification forms, and product updates.
- Maintain security, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.
3. Service providers
We use trusted third parties to host the application, store your data, and deliver emails. These providers process information on our behalf under their own privacy and security commitments.
4. Data retention
We retain your information while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. You may request deletion of your account at any time.
5. Your choices

6. Security and HIPAA
FieldworkFriend is built with security and privacy considerations in mind, including encryption in transit and access controls. FieldworkFriend is not "HIPAA certified" (no such certification exists). If your use case involves Protected Health Information, you are responsible for evaluating whether the service is appropriate and for implementing safeguards on your end, including any required Business Associate Agreements.
7. Children
FieldworkFriend is intended for use by professionals and adult trainees. We do not knowingly collect information directly from children.
