GDPR Construction Software Guide
Review what is being shared
Construction records can include personal data such as names, contact details, signatures, training records, incident notes and access logs. Before sharing documents, check what personal data is included and who needs access.
Practical checks
- Does the recipient need the full record or only part of it?
- Are permissions limited to the right project or company?
- Can access be removed when the project ends?
- Are exports controlled and traceable?
- Is sensitive evidence stored with the right restrictions?
- Can the business explain why the data is being processed?
Avoid uncontrolled copies
Email attachments and copied folders can spread records beyond the intended audience. Controlled sharing helps teams reduce unnecessary duplication and access risk.
Keep procurement evidence ready
Buyers may ask how data is protected, how records are shared and what controls exist. Keep privacy, security and DPA information easy to find.
How Zektrx helps
Zektrx supports controlled contractor workflows with permission-aware records, evidence links and trust resources for procurement review.
