Privacy Policy: Alpha and Aura

Last updated: 27 September 2026 · Applies to: the Alpha app (Android package com.alphaapp.cyclecoach), the Aura app (Android package pro.alphahack.aura) and the web versions at https://alphahack.pro

Short version: We never sell your data. We show no ads and use no advertising or tracking SDKs. Aura needs no account. What she logs is shared only with the people she chooses to connect, and her private notes are never shown to anyone else. Part of the coaching text in Alpha is written by AI. The daily coaching runs on our own server first. Alpha's weekly plan, and the daily coaching whenever our own server can't handle it, send a short summary to an outside AI provider (see section 5). Alpha and Aura are wellness tools, not medical devices.

1. Who we are

The apps are published by PATNA (Close Corporation), registration number 1995/050641/23, publisher address 5 Goldsmith Str, North End, Port Elizabeth, 6001, South Africa ("we", "us"). We decide how your data is used, which makes us the controller of your personal data. Privacy contact: htgtbj@gmail.com

2. The two apps

3. What we collect

3.1 Alpha

Data Where it comes from Why

Feedback you send: your email address, the feedback text and a one-time verification code You Answering you. Feedback you approve may be shown as a testimonial

3.2 Aura

Data Why
A private link: a random code in your Aura address (alphahack.pro/her/…). It is your key, so keep it to yourself It identifies your page. There is no account, email or password
An optional name and birthday Personalising your page
Cycle start and end dates, moods, what sounds good to eat, your answers under "Just between us", and your reactions to food ideas Your calendar, your patterns and, if you connect someone, what they see
Private notes For you only. They are stored on our server under your private link and are never shown to a connected partner
Messages with people you connect, the labels you give them, reminder settings and a notification subscription Running those features
Referral code, if you arrived through someone's invite link Crediting the invite

3.3 Both apps and the website

4. What a connected partner sees (Aura → Alpha)

When she connects Aura to someone's Alpha, that Alpha receives: her cycle dates, moods, food notes, her "Just between us" choice for the day (for example a hug, a date or some space; that note is meant for him), messages, and the name she picks (or no name). Her moods and "Just between us" choices also drive a better-day/harder-day Timing gauge and the tone of his coaching. Her private notes are never shared. Aura's "What he sees" screen shows what his app receives. She can disconnect anyone at any time. When she does, her logs are removed from that person's profile on our server.

5. Service providers (who processes data for us)

We don't sell, rent or trade personal data, and we don't share it with advertisers or data brokers. We use these providers only to run the service:

Provider What for What they receive
Hostinger (virtual server) Hosting the apps and the database Everything stored by the apps, on our server
AI text generation. The coaching model runs on our own server first. Only if it's unavailable do we fall back to Anthropic, OpenAI or Groq Writing Alpha's daily coaching, food and message ideas A text prompt with the profile's first name, relationship, birthday, star sign, cycle phase and day, food preferences and allergies, counts from his check-ins (for example the number of argument days), a summary of her logged moods, and the Timing read, which can include her mood and "Just between us" choice for today (for example "She'd love a date today")
Groq, then Google (Gemini) as a fallback Alpha's weekly plan The profile's first name, cycle day and phase, predicted next period, counts from his check-ins over the last 30 days, and foods to avoid
Google (Gmail) / our own mail server Emailing feedback verification codes Your email address and the code
Telegram Fallback only: if email isn't set up, the feedback verification code is sent to the operator's Telegram so they can pass it on Your email address and the code
Push services (Google Firebase Cloud Messaging for Chrome/Android, Apple, Mozilla); Expo for the older native Alpha app Delivering notifications A push token and the notification. Web push notifications are end-to-end encrypted
Google Chrome (Android) The Android apps open our website inside Chrome (Trusted Web Activity) What any website visit sends to your browser

AI providers get only what is listed above. Aura's private notes and messages are never put into AI prompts. Aura's own screens don't use AI, but if she is connected, her moods and daily choices can be part of the summary used to write his coaching text. Some providers are in the United States, and data sent to them is protected by their standard contractual terms.

6. Health data

Cycle, mood and intimacy-related data is sensitive health data. We process it only to provide the features you use, with your consent, which you give by logging it. You can withdraw that consent by deleting it (section 8). Alpha and Aura are not medical devices. They do not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and they are not contraception. Cycle predictions are estimates. For health questions, talk to a healthcare professional.

7. Security

8. How long we keep data, and deletion

We keep your data while you use the apps. When you delete, it is deleted: immediately, completely, with nothing kept in "deactivated" form and no deletion log with your name, email or link.

Aura: "Erase everything I've logged" permanently deletes your cycle dates, moods, food notes, "Just between us" answers and private notes, both from your page and from every connected partner's profile. Your page, name, birthday, connections and messages stay.

Aura: "Delete everything, including my page" permanently deletes all of the above plus your page itself: your private-link code, the name and birthday you gave, your own profile and food preferences, messages, food ideas, reminders, connections, invites, partner labels, notification subscription, referral record, and the coaching that was generated from your entries. Your link stops working immediately. A connected partner's app simply shows that it is no longer paired.

Alpha: "Delete Profile" (bottom of Home) permanently deletes that profile from your phone and from our server straight away: its details, logs, check-ins, events, messages and generated coaching. If her Aura page was connected to that profile, it is unlinked first, so her page and her own entries stay with her and keep working.

Alpha "Unlink" removes her entries from your profile. Her Aura page is not deleted; it keeps working for her, unpaired.

Alpha account deletion (only relevant if you signed in with an email or surname): email htgtbj@gmail.com or use https://alphahack.pro/legal/delete-account. We erase the account and all its profiles completely and confirm within 30 days.

Backups: our server keeps rolling backups for disaster recovery. Deleted data can remain in them until they roll off, which happens within 14 days. Backups are not used to run the apps and are not publicly accessible.

The public Aura demo (/her/demo) gives each visitor a private, temporary sandbox. Anything typed there is visible only to that visitor and is deleted automatically within 24 hours.

You can also ask us to erase data about you that someone else entered. Write to htgtbj@gmail.com. We reply within 30 days.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR or South Africa's POPIA), you have the right to access, correct, export and delete your data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent. Aura has "Download everything I've logged" for a copy of your data. For anything else, email htgtbj@gmail.com. You can also complain to your data-protection authority. For South Africa, that is the Information Regulator (South Africa) (https://inforegulator.org.za/). If you live in the EU/UK, you may also complain to your local supervisory authority.

10. Age

The apps are for adults, 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone younger.

11. Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll also show a notice in the apps.
