Privacy Policy
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Trackexa is currently in Beta. While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, the app is under active development and may experience interruptions, bugs, or data loss. By using Trackexa, you acknowledge these risks.
1. Introduction
Trackexa ("we", "us", or "our") is a trade business management application based in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use the Trackexa web and mobile application (the "Service").
We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
When you create an account and use Trackexa, you provide us with:
- Account Information: Email address, password (encrypted), and display name
- Business Information: Business name, ABN, license numbers, contact details, bank account details (for quote/invoice generation)
- Customer Information: Customer names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses
- Financial Data: Quote details, invoice data, job costs, materials costs, payment information, profit tracking data
- Job Information: Job descriptions, addresses, scheduling details, photos, task lists, notes
- Calendar Data: When you connect Google Calendar, we access and store scheduling information to sync your jobs with your calendar
- Billing Information: When you subscribe, Stripe collects payment details (such as card information) and billing contact details. We receive subscription status, customer identifiers, and related metadata needed to manage access—not your full card number on our own servers
- Product and onboarding communications: If you receive email sequences (for example walkthroughs or tips), your email address and related profile or usage signals may be processed by our email automation provider as described below

We may collect certain information automatically when you use the Service:
- Usage Data: Features used, actions taken within the app, session duration
- Device Information: Device type, operating system, browser type, IP address

3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Trackexa Service
- Create and manage your account
- Generate quotes, invoices, and PDF exports
- Calculate profit margins, financial metrics, and business insights
- Sync jobs with your Google Calendar (when authorized)
- Store and retrieve your business data across devices

- Detect and prevent fraud or security issues
4. How We Store and Protect Your Information
4.1 Data Storage
Your data is stored using:
- Supabase: A cloud database service that stores your quotes, invoices, jobs, tasks, business settings, account authentication, and related application data
- Stripe: Processes subscription payments, stores payment method details according to Stripe’s policies, and provides the billing customer portal
- Vercel: Hosts the web application and serverless APIs; may process request metadata (such as IP addresses and headers) in the course of operating the Service
- Local Storage: Some preferences and temporary data are stored locally in your browser or device
- Google Services: When you authorize Google Calendar sync, scheduling data is synchronized with your Google account
4.2 Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information, including:
- Encryption of data in transit using HTTPS/TLS
- Secure authentication via email/password or Google OAuth
- Access controls and user-specific data isolation
- Regular security reviews and updates
HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE: Trackexa is in Beta, and no system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data. You use the Service at your own risk.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
5.1 We Do Not Sell Your Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
5.2 Third-Party Service Providers
We share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service:
- Supabase: Database hosting, authentication, and (where configured) database webhooks that help sync signup events to other tools
- Stripe, Inc.: Payment processing, subscription management, tax and invoice presentation as configured, and the customer billing portal. See Stripe’s privacy materials at stripe.com/privacy

- Vercel: Hosting and deployment of the website and API routes
- Google: Calendar synchronization and Google sign-in when you choose those options—subject to Google’s terms and policies
These providers process data as described in their own policies and our agreements with them. They may be located in Australia, the United States, or other countries.
5.3 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal process, such as:
- Court orders or subpoenas

6. Your Rights and Choices

6.5 Marketing and product email
Where we send non-transactional product or onboarding email through Loops, you may use unsubscribe links in those messages where provided, or contact us to opt out of optional communications.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features of Trackexa may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your data within a reasonable timeframe, except where we are required to retain it for legal, accounting, or security purposes.
8. International Data Transfers
Your data may be stored or processed outside Australia, including through Supabase, Stripe (including operations in the United States and other regions), Loops, Vercel, and Google, depending on how you use the Service. By using Trackexa, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to countries that have different data protection laws than Australia. We take reasonable steps to work with reputable providers and to protect your information in line with this Policy.
9. Children's Privacy
Trackexa is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete it.
