Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information the 12 Steps Meetings Tracker application (the "App") collects, how it's used, and who it's shared with. The App is provided by and for the community that uses it, on a volunteer, non-commercial basis.
1. Information we collect
When you sign in or use the App, we collect:
- Identity information — your name, email address, and a provider-specific account ID, received from whichever sign-in option you choose (Microsoft, Google, or email/password). We never see or store your password.
- Schedule data — whatever managers and editors enter into the App: speaker names or initials, reading titles, session notes, and meeting configuration. This data is meant to be minimal and non-identifying — see our Confidentiality Agreement.
- Invite information — if a meeting's manager invites you as an editor, we store the email address the invite was sent to.
- Basic technical data — standard, automatically-collected diagnostics (page views, request timing, error reports) used to keep the App running reliably. This isn't used for advertising or cross-site tracking.
2. How we use Google account information
If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and Google account ID through Google Sign-In. We use this only to identify you within the App and to determine which meetings you have access to. We don't request or access any other Google data — your Gmail, Drive, contacts, or anything else — and we don't share this information with any third party for advertising or any purpose unrelated to running the App.
3. How we use this information
We use the information above only to:
- Sign you in and determine what you're allowed to see or edit.
- Display and maintain each meeting's schedule.
- Send invite emails when a manager invites you as an editor.
- Diagnose and fix problems with the App.
4. Who we share it with
We don't sell your information or share it for advertising. The App runs on the following infrastructure providers, each of which processes data only as needed to operate the App:
12 Steps Meetings Tracker Application keeps your 12-step group's rotating meeting schedule — speakers,5. Data retention and control
Schedule data is kept for as long as the meeting exists in the App. A meeting's managers can delete it at any time, which removes its schedule data. If you'd like your account or personal information removed, contact us using the details below.
6. Children's privacy
The App isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.
7. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated policy.
