Privacy notice
Short version: everything you type stays on your device. The only thing that ever leaves it is an email address, and only if you choose to send one.
Who “we” are
Alliance Protocols and this Field App are made by David Hamilton and Dr Zhongming Shi, in Singapore. We handle personal data in line with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
Questions, or a request to see, correct or delete data we hold about you: hello@thealliance.app.
What stays on your device
The app has no account and no server database. What you enter is saved in your browser's own storage on this device, and is never sent to us or anyone else:
- Pause + Return: your return time while a pause is running
- Weekly Reset: your current draft and past resets
- Profile Calibration: your answers and couple report
- Favourites and recently opened protocols
- Whether you have already seen the intro
- The offline copy of the app itself
We can't see any of it, so we can't recover it either. You can delete all of it at any time from Help → Your data, or by clearing this site's data in your browser.
Calendar reminders (.ics files) are made on your device, too. Once you add one to your calendar, your calendar provider's own privacy terms apply.
The only data that leaves your device
Your email address, if you choose to submit it in the “Get updates by email” form. Nothing else is sent with it.
- Why: Alliance Protocols product updates and the occasional note from us. We don't sell it or share it for anyone else's marketing.
- Who handles it: the email service the site uses to run the mailing list, which stores it on our behalf. If that form isn't set up, your own email app opens instead and the message comes straight to hello@thealliance.app.
- Leaving: every email has an unsubscribe link. To have your address deleted altogether, email hello@thealliance.app.
No analytics, cookies or trackers
The app has no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels and no cookies. It loads no third-party scripts; fonts are served from the app itself.
Hosting. The app is hosted by Vercel. As part of normal hosting, Vercel's servers keep request logs, which may include your IP address, browser type and the page requested. We don't use these logs to identify or profile anyone.
Children
Alliance Protocols is for adult couples. It is not directed at anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect email addresses from under-18s. If you think we have one, email us and we'll delete it.
Changes to this notice
If what the app stores or sends ever changes, we'll update this page first and change the date below. If you're on the mailing list and the change affects your email address, we'll tell you.
