Cookies & Your Privacy Choices
Effective 15 September 2026
We use a small number of cookies to run this site and see which pages work. We do not use advertising cookies. We do not sell or share your personal information. We do not run cross-site tracking. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we honour it automatically.
What we use
Strictly necessary. Sign-in, session security, fraud prevention, and remembering your cookie choices. These cannot be turned off without breaking the site. No consent required and none sought.
Analytics. Aggregate measurement of which pages people visit and where they leave. IP addresses are truncated and we do not build individual profiles. Off by default outside strictly necessary; you choose.
Preferences. Remembering your settings so you are not asked twice.
What we do not use: advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, cross-site tracking, data-broker integrations, and social-media tracking pixels. There is no Aligned Hearts audience for sale, because we do not build one.
Global Privacy Control
If your browser or an extension sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out of sale and sharing, automatically, on every page. You do not have to click anything and we will not ask you to confirm. If you are signed in, we apply it to your account as well as the browser.
GPC is supported by browsers including Firefox and Brave, and by extensions in Chrome, Edge and Safari. It is a good thing to turn on generally, not only here.
Changing your choices
On this site: use the "Manage choices" control in the footer at any time.
In your browser: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break sign-in.
On your phone: iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, and Android Settings → Privacy → Ads, both let you limit advertising identifiers system-wide.
Your privacy rights
Wherever in the US you live, you can ask us to:
- Tell you what we hold about you
- Correct anything wrong
- Delete it
- Send you a portable copy
- Stop selling or sharing it (we do not)
- Limit our use of sensitive information
- Withdraw consent
Fastest route: to delete, the app, under You → Account → Delete account. Otherwise the Delete Your Account page. Or email hello@alignedhearts.com.
We respond within 45 days. We never charge for this, and exercising a right never affects your service or your price. Full detail, including appeals, is in the Privacy Policy.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, and we have not done so in the preceding twelve months.
The link is in our footer regardless, because the right exists whether or not we exercise the practice, and because a service that only shows the link when it is selling your data has told you something.
