Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Ascenda One Pty Ltd (Ascenda Flow) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use this site, the Mac app, or the work-pattern baseline, why we collect it, and who we share it with. It is designed to align with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and Apple App Store guidelines.

1. What we collect

When you use this site we may collect:

  • Your name and email address (when you submit the waitlist or early access form, or when you sign in to purchase)
  • Your responses to the work-pattern baseline questions
  • Operational events from tools you connect to the Mac app (such as counts, timings, retries, compaction, loop depth, and tool switches)
  • Text you deliberately submit to cloud chat when you choose to use that Pro feature
  • Billing and entitlement metadata associated with your account (tier, features, licence key records — not full card numbers)
  • Anonymous usage analytics (pages visited, session duration, plans viewed) without licence keys or emails in event payloads
  • Session recordings of this website (layout, clicks, scrolling, mouse movement), with form input masked

We do not collect payment information, government identifiers, or sensitive health records. The work-pattern baseline collects self-reported answers about how you work — not clinical or biometric data.

The Mac app is local by default.

Your journal and reflections stay on this Mac unless you turn on sync. Connected tools provide operational shape: counts, timings, and tool events. Not your keystrokes, screen, messages, or source code. Cloud chat processes only the text you deliberately submit to that conversation.

2. Why we collect it

  • To hold your spot for Ascenda Flow early access and email you a personal baseline link
  • To personalise and return your work-pattern baseline results
  • To process Pro subscriptions, issue licence keys, and manage entitlement
  • To provide cloud chat and cross-device sync when you choose to enable those Pro features
  • To send relevant updates about Ascenda Flow (you can unsubscribe at any time)
  • To understand how people use the site and continuously improve our experience

3. Who we share it with

We do not sell or rent your data. We work with the following trusted third-party services:

Email communications — your name and email address are sent to ActiveCampaign to manage your waitlist placement and send follow-up emails. You can unsubscribe from any email at any time.

Authentication — when you sign in to purchase Pro or manage your account, identity is handled by Kinde (email and optional social connections). We use this to link your Ascenda account for billing and entitlement.

Payments — when you purchase Pro, payment is processed by Stripe Checkout. Card details are handled by Stripe; we do not store full card numbers on Ascenda systems.

Product analytics and session replay — anonymous usage events (e.g. page views, form completions, plans viewed) are sent to PostHog to help us understand how people use the site. PostHog also records sessions on this website: page layout, clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, so we can see where a page confuses people. Anything you type into a form field is masked before it leaves your browser. Licence keys and emails are never included in these events. Replay covers this website only; the Mac app does not record your screen.

Google AnalyticsTheir privacy policy ↗

Site analytics — page views and the same anonymous events sent to PostHog (e.g. a download clicked, a sign-up completed) are sent to Google Analytics so we can see which pages people open and act on. Licence keys, names and emails are not sent in these events.

LinkedIn Conversions APITheir privacy policy ↗

Conversion tracking — on successful waitlist signup, a one-way SHA-256 cryptographic hash of your email address is sent to LinkedIn solely to measure advertising effectiveness. The hash cannot be reversed to recover your original email.

No analytics cookies

This website sets no analytics cookies and keeps no analytics identifier on your device, for every visitor, wherever you are. Google Analytics receives page views without a cookie, so it can't recognise a return visit. PostHog holds its ID in memory only, until you close the tab. Because nothing is stored, there is no cookie banner to answer. We never turn on Google's advertising signals.

Session replay follows the same rule: it records this website without keeping an ID on your device. Form fields are masked.

Earlier versions of this site set _ga and ph_ cookies for visitors who allowed them. If your browser still has them, the site deletes them on your next visit.

4. Data security

All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (TLS 1.2+). We apply best-practice security controls and restrict access to authorised personnel only. Data is hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with encryption at rest.

5. Your rights

You may at any time:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of any inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data at any time
  • Withdraw consent and unsubscribe from communications
  • Lodge a complaint with your local privacy authority (e.g. OAIC in Australia)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

6. Data retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. You may request deletion at any time by contacting privacy@ascenda.one.
