Who We Are
DispatchLog is operated by Travis S. Lopez, an individual based in California. DispatchLog is a web application that automates dispatch tracking and pay calculation for union construction workers.
When this policy says "we", "us", or "our" it refers to Travis S. Lopez operating DispatchLog at dispatchlog.net.
What We Collect
We collect only the information needed to run the app and provide its core features.
- Google account information — your name and email address, provided when you sign in with Google. We use this to identify your account.
- Gmail access — read-only access to your Gmail inbox, limited to emails from your configured dispatch sender. We read these emails to extract job details (job number, address, foreman, start time). We do not store the full email content — only the specific job fields we extract from it.
- Job dispatch data — job number, job name, address, city, foreman name, report time, and date. Extracted from your dispatch emails and stored in our database.
- Hours and pay data — the hours you log per shift, your hourly rate, and calculated pay. Entered by you directly in the app.
- Home address — used solely to calculate round-trip mileage to each job site. Stored in your account settings.
- Mileage data — round-trip distance from your home to each job site, calculated using the Google Maps Distance Matrix API.
- Google Calendar events — we create calendar events in a dedicated DispatchLog calendar in your Google account for each dispatch. We do not read your existing calendar events.
- Billing information — subscription payments are handled entirely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number or payment details on our servers.
- Session data — a session cookie is used to keep you logged in. It expires after 30 days.
