Comply with GDPR

Using construction cameras doesn't have to be complicated. We've designed Builder.Cam to make privacy compliance straightforward— so you can focus on your project, not paperwork.

Data Processing Agreement

Included

GDPR requires a formal agreement between data controllers and processors. Good news: it's already part of our service terms.

You are the Controller — you decide why and how cameras are used
We are the Processor — we handle photos according to your instructions

No separate paperwork needed. The DPA is built into our standard terms.

Update Your Privacy Notice

Your action

When cameras may capture identifiable people, add camera usage to your site privacy notice. Be clear about why you're shooting.

Common legitimate reasons:

  • Progress documentation for project management
  • Quality assurance and milestone verification
  • Safety monitoring and site security
  • Stakeholder communication and transparency
  • Dispute resolution and claims documentation
  • Marketing and timelapse creation

Face Blurring

Built-in

The strongest privacy protection available. Our cameras blur faces on the device itself—before photos ever leave the camera.

Only anonymized photos transmitted to the cloud
Full photo quality preserved for construction details
Share footage freely without privacy concerns
Significantly reduced GDPR compliance burden
