- Conversations. The messages you exchange with your coach, and any screenshots or images you choose to upload (for example sleep, training, or food data).
- Usage information. Basic technical and usage data needed to run the service, such as log data and timestamps.
How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Provide and personalise your coaching experience.
- Generate responses to your messages.
- Maintain, secure, and improve the service.
- Respond to your questions and provide support.
We do not sell your personal information.
Health and sensitive information
Alfred is a wellbeing and coaching tool. Some of the information you share, such as sleep, training, injuries, or cycle data, may be health related. You provide this voluntarily so the coach can give you more relevant guidance. You can choose not to share it, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.
How your information is shared
We share information only with the service providers that help us run Alfred:
- Hosting and database. We use Supabase to store your account and coaching data.
- AI processing. We use Anthropic to process your messages and generate coaching responses.
These providers process data on our behalf and may store or process it outside Australia. We may also disclose information where required by law.
Data retention
We keep your information for as long as your account is active. You can ask us to delete your account and associated data by emailing ben@alfredapp.com.au.
Your choices and rights
You can request to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or withdraw consent for optional data, by emailing ben@alfredapp.com.au. We will respond within a reasonable time.
Cookies and local storage
Alfred uses essential cookies and local storage only, to keep you signed in and to remember basic preferences such as your theme. We do not use advertising or third party tracking cookies.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
Alfred is not intended for anyone under 16 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page.
