{"text": "Privacy notice \u2014 Adrian\u2019s Group Hub\n\nWho to contact\nAdrian Lavery operates this Group Hub for his group members. Contact Adrian in person at group or through Message Consultant in the app about your information or this notice.\n\nInformation used by the Hub\nWe use your mobile number and verification code to check your membership and sign you in. The Hub uses your name, usual group and relevant membership information from the group records. Edit My Details can display your date of birth, house number, postcode and phone number. Suggested changes are sent to Adrian for approval.\n\nIf you choose weight tracking, the Hub uses the weight, total loss and weigh-in date you enter together with your recorded weigh-in changes to calculate progress and awards. Weight and attendance information may reveal health information. Tracking can be switched off in Settings. Switching it off hides progress features and does not automatically erase records.\n\nShopping List\nYour shopping list and private notes are stored with your hosted account so you can use the same list across devices. They are not shown in Studio or support previews. Product names are added to a shared catalogue with aggregate usage counts so Adrian can improve aisle categories, suggestions and optional food labels. Keep personal information out of product names; use the private note field for personal reminders. Food icons and notes are guidance, not automatic nutritional calculations.\n\nYour messages, posts and requests\nPrivate messages and suggested detail changes are visible to Adrian and authorised Studio administrators. Studio records whether a reply has appeared in view. Community posts, photos and reactions are shared with members of your selected group and can be moderated. Social Team Hub is limited to eligible team members in that group and authorised administrators. Team members can see each other\u2019s names and roles.\n\nHoliday and shift-work requests are sent to Studio and made available for the group attendance system. Requests can remain queued during connection interruptions.\n\nWhere information is stored\nThe hosted Hub on alwaysdata stores account information, selected member details, progress projections, messages and app activity. Studio and the connector on Adrian\u2019s Mac hold group data and synchronised Hub records. Backups may retain earlier copies. Personal information is therefore stored on both the hosted service and the Mac.\n\nNotifications and device storage\nOptional push notifications use your device\u2019s push subscription and push service. Verification texts and optional reply-link texts are sent through Messages on Adrian\u2019s Mac. Links open the app and require member sign-in. Notification permission, quiet hours and chat preferences can be managed in Settings.\n\nFor member support, the Hub can keep the latest browser-reported device category, operating system, browser and screen size. This does not record pages visited or identify an exact phone model.\n\nWeekly check-ins: feelings and comments are stored privately with your hosted member account, one record per week. They restore across devices and app re-registration and are excluded from Studio and support previews. Automatic clearing for a genuine rejoin is not yet connected to MCC. Backups may retain earlier copies. Christmas Wishes remain device-only and private. Shared devices can retain these items. Public app files may be cached for loading.\n\nActivity and development\nStudio holds operational records, including registrations, sign-ins, notification delivery, member requests and moderation. Anonymous usage summaries count section visits, estimated active time and app sessions. These measurements omit sign-in cookies, member identifiers, phone numbers, weights, device fingerprints and individual browsing histories. A random presence token is discarded after two minutes of inactivity; section totals are kept for 90 days. Studio also shows the total number of members with a remembered sign-in, without listing them.\n\nAccess and retention\nSigning out or deregistration removes access. It does not by itself delete registration history, messages, progress records or backups. A fixed automatic deletion schedule has not yet been configured. Contact Adrian to ask about keeping or deleting particular records.\n\nYour choices and rights\nYou can ask Adrian for access to your information, corrections, or deletion, and ask about restricting or objecting to its use. Some rights depend on the circumstances. You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.\n\nThis notice is being reviewed\nThe precise lawful bases for processing, the additional condition for health information, detailed retention periods and any relevant international transfer safeguards still need to be confirmed by Adrian. This notice will be updated when those arrangements are confirmed.\n\nVerification SMS: when ClickSend is enabled, mobile numbers and verification-message contents are sent to ClickSend for delivery. Delivery references and statuses are recorded in Studio; no weights are sent to ClickSend.", "updated_at": "2026-11-09T21:23:15Z"}
