Stored in the app
Business profiles, customers, jobs, pricing, estimate snapshots, signatures, permissions, photos, templates, receipt settings, and local backup copies.
Local-first records
Data stays useful because it stays portable
JobFrame currently stores its working database and media locally on the Android device. The user decides when to export, share, import, restore, or erase those records.
Leaves only by user action
PDFs, messages, photos, and backup ZIPs leave JobFrame when the user chooses an Android sharing or document destination.
No JobFrame account required
The current release does not require a JobFrame cloud login or synchronize records to a JobFrame server.
Future integrations are optional
Cloud delivery and accounting connections will require separate disclosure and authorization before they are introduced.
What a backup can contain
A JobFrame backup may include highly sensitive business and customer records:
- Business profiles, customers, jobs, pricing lines, estimates, templates, and consent records
- Internal and customer-facing descriptions
- Photos, signatures, and uploaded logos when media is enabled
- Generated receipt PDFs when that option is enabled
- JSON and CSV files intended for portability and future integrations
Backup responsibilities
Backup ZIPs are not currently password encrypted. Store them as private business records. Use a protected device, encrypted drive, trusted cloud account, or other location appropriate for customer information.
A backup kept only inside JobFrame may be lost if the app is uninstalled or all app data is cleared. Save an external copy before resetting the app, changing devices, or joining a test that may require destructive steps.
Restore protection
JobFrame validates imported backups and creates a recovery backup before replacing current records. Database replacement is transactional so a failed restore does not intentionally leave half-imported records.
Clear all data
The Data Management screen can remove locally stored jobs, customers, business profiles, templates, photos, signatures, uploaded logos, and in-app backup copies. External copies saved elsewhere are not deleted by that action.
Before sharing a backup for support
Use fictional test data whenever possible. A full backup may expose signatures, addresses, prices, photos, and internal notes.
