This Notice is part of the Privacy and Consumer Health Data Policy. "Cookie" here includes cookies, SDKs, local storage, pixels, tags, device identifiers, embedded players, and similar technologies on the web and in the mobile apps.

1. Our approach

Because Parachute | Tether | Tandem handles sensitive recovery and mental-health information, we use essential technologies to sign you in, secure the Service, remember your privacy choices, and deliver features you request. We use optional first-party analytics only after you opt in. We do not use advertising pixels, cross-context behavioral advertising, data-broker enrichment, or session replay.

3. Sensitive surfaces

The following surfaces never load an advertising tracker or session-replay tool: signup, intake, recovery or mental-health profile, check-ins, sobriety date, search, Hubb and meeting and provider pages when signed in, support requests, AI chat, direct messages, journal, groups, live sessions, crisis resources, billing, and privacy requests. Diagnostic tools on these surfaces redact text fields, URLs and query strings, health attributes, contact data, message bodies, screenshots, and stable account identifiers before transmission.

4. Product analytics

With your separate permission, we collect events such as screen opened, feature used, response time, failure, and coarse journey completion under a random, revocable analytics token. We do not include post, message, or journal text, health answers, search terms, exact location, advertising identifiers, or direct account or contact identifiers. Turning analytics off stops future optional events and severs (deletes) the token map. Essential aggregate counts needed to operate and secure the Service continue and contain only the feature or event name, count, success or error status, app version, platform, and date — with no account token, health content, or free text.

5. Your choices

Use Settings → Privacy → Cookies and tracking (or the cookie banner on the website) to allow or reject:

Rejecting optional technologies does not block core features. We honor legally required browser and device preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.

6. Recording and session replay

We do not currently use session replay anywhere in the Service, and we will not use it unless we first identify the specific feature, obtain prior all-party consent, apply a redaction scheme, and publish the purpose, provider, and retention in this Notice. Live-session recording is turned off by default; a host may turn it on only after every participant sees a clear notice and gives any prior consent the law requires.

7. Video privacy

We do not send a member's identity or a persistent account or device identifier together with video or audio titles to a third party unless it is necessary to play content you requested and is supported by a stand-alone consent where the Video Privacy Protection Act applies. We audit embedded players before each release.
