SCOPE · Privacy

Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Montgomery Field Systems handles information when you use the SCOPE field operations application and this public information website.

Effective and last updated: October 23, 2026

1. The short version

SCOPE does not require an account.

Field records are stored locally on your device. Montgomery Field Systems does not receive your jobs, photos, imported files, or reports unless you intentionally send them to us for support.

2. Information SCOPE can process

Depending on the features you choose, SCOPE can process:

  • Job and project details, names, roles, contractors, equipment, dates, remarks, and safety information you enter.
  • Operational readings and calculations, including pressures, durations, pipe dimensions, checkpoints, and estimated gas volumes.
  • Photos selected from your device or captured with the camera.
  • Precise GPS coordinates, city or place information, and current weather when you request location or weather features.
  • Files you import, such as PDFs and spreadsheets, and the field information extracted from them.
  • App preferences, recovery information, and privacy-redacted diagnostics used to help the app operate reliably.

3. Where information is stored

SCOPE stores its working records in the app’s local storage on your device. Photos are kept in app-managed device storage. The app is designed to work without a Montgomery Field Systems cloud account. Android backup is disabled for the app.

Files that you export, save, email, text, or share are stored or transmitted through the destination and application you select. Those copies are outside SCOPE’s control and are governed by the recipient or service you choose.

4. Location and weather

Location access is optional and permission-based. Weather requests send device latitude and longitude to Open‑Meteo; these coordinates can be precise. In Manual mode, requests occur after you ask for an update. If you enable Automatic field context, requests may also occur at startup, when you return to the app, and at field-work milestones. Off mode makes no location or weather request. You can change this choice in the app. Coordinates are used to return location-specific weather; project details are not sent to the weather service. Montgomery Field Systems does not operate Open‑Meteo and does not receive a copy of the request through its own servers.

You may deny location permission, enter coordinates manually, or use SCOPE without recording a location. Weather is operational context and is not automatically treated as gas temperature.

5. Camera, photos, files, and notifications

Camera access is used only when you choose to capture a field photo. File access is used when you choose to import, restore, export, or attach information. Notification permission may be used for app status or update notices. SCOPE does not use these permissions for advertising or tracking.

6. Sharing and third parties

SCOPE does not sell personal information and does not include third-party advertising or behavioral tracking. Information leaves the app when you direct SCOPE to export or share it, when you request weather from Open‑Meteo or enable Automatic field context, or when you voluntarily provide materials to support. Email, messaging, cloud storage, document viewers, and other destination apps follow their own privacy practices.

7. Retention and deletion

Local records remain on the device until you delete an individual project, empty the deleted-project recovery area, use Delete all app data, clear the app’s storage through Android, or uninstall the app. Exported files and backups must be deleted separately from wherever you saved or shared them.

Because the current app has no hosted user account, Montgomery Field Systems generally has no remote SCOPE account data to delete. See the Data Deletion instructions for complete steps.

8. Security and field responsibility

We use reasonable technical safeguards appropriate to a device-local application, but no device or transmission method is completely secure. Protect your device, review recipients before sharing, and follow your employer’s information-handling requirements.

SCOPE is a documentation and estimating tool. It does not replace operator procedures, engineering review, regulatory requirements, or qualified professional judgment.

9. Children’s privacy

SCOPE is a professional field application and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information.

This public information website

This website is hosted through OpenAI Sites. Hosting and security services process website requests under their applicable privacy practices; see OpenAI’s privacy policy. The website has no field-record upload form, advertising pixel, or session replay configured in its source. Opening an email or external link uses the destination service you select.

10. Changes and contact

We may update this policy as SCOPE evolves. The revised date will appear at the top of this page. Privacy questions may be sent to privacy@montgomeryfieldsystems.com.
