Tally is a construction-site sign-in and safety system. The only text messages it sends are safety notifications to workers who are signed in on a site right now. There is no marketing, no promotions, and no messages to anyone who has not given their number at a gate. Last updated 30 July 2026.
TALLY SITE SYSTEMS (Alberta Registration No. TN28376846 · CRA Business No. 798749644) operates Tally on behalf of the construction company running each site. A message identifies itself as Tally and names the site or company it concerns.
A worker signs in at a construction site by scanning the QR code on the site's gate poster with their own phone, which opens that site's sign-in page at app.sitetally.ca. The sign-in form has a field labelled “Your phone”.
The phone field is optional and it is blank by default. A worker opts in by typing their own mobile number into it and submitting the sign-in form. That single act is the consent: on the same screen, directly under the field, the form states —
Adding your number lets this site text you: a reminder if you forget to sign out, lone-worker check-ins if you work alone, and evacuation alerts. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.
A worker who leaves the field empty still signs in normally and simply receives no texts. Nobody is signed up by a supervisor, by an office, or from an uploaded list; the number is typed by the worker on their own phone, at the gate, for the site they are entering. Consent is recorded with the sign-in record — the site, the date and the time it was given.
Emergency-contact numbers collected on the same form are for a person to phone in an emergency. Tally never texts an emergency contact.
That is the complete list. Tally does not send marketing, offers, surveys, or messages on behalf of any third party, and worker numbers are never sold, rented or shared for anyone else's messaging.
Message frequency varies. Most workers receive none in a normal week. Messages are driven by events on a site — a missed sign-out, a lone-worker check-in interval a worker set themselves, or an evacuation — not by a schedule. A worker who has declared lone-worker status receives check-ins for as long as that shift lasts. Message and data rates may apply.
Reply STOP to any message to opt out. Opt-outs are honoured by the carrier immediately and no further messages are sent to that number. A worker can also simply clear the phone number the next time they sign in, or ask the site supervisor to remove it.
Opting out means safety alerts stop too — including evacuation messages. That is the trade-off, and it is why the reminder texts are kept as few as they are. A worker who has opted out still sees muster alerts on the sign-in page itself if they have it open on their phone.

A phone number given at a gate is used to send the messages above and for nothing else. Numbers on sign-in records are automatically anonymised after two years. The full policy is at sitetally.ca/privacy.
