Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Halfway for Teams is operated by 3 Turtles LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use the Halfway for Teams platform (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

For questions or requests, contact us at privacy@halfway.guru.

2. Information We Collect

Account and team data

When you or your organization creates an account, we collect the email addresses of team members, team name, billing contact details, and any custom configuration (e.g., seat count, role assignments). This information is necessary to provide the Service.

Search and location data

When you perform a midpoint search, we transmit the addresses you enter to third-party routing APIs (currently Google Maps Platform) to calculate travel times and identify nearby venues. We do not retain address inputs after a session ends. Aggregated, anonymized search counts are recorded for usage analytics and quota enforcement.

Usage and log data

We collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, timestamps, and error information. This data is used to operate, secure, and improve the Service and is retained for up to 90 days.

Payment data

Billing and payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store full credit card numbers or payment instrument details. We receive and store a Stripe customer ID and subscription status.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, operate, and maintain the Service
• To manage your team's account, seats, and subscription
• To enforce usage quotas and plan limits
• To send transactional emails (invite acceptance, seat notifications, billing receipts)
• To detect, investigate, and prevent security incidents or abuse
• To generate anonymized aggregate analytics for product improvement
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not use your data for advertising. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

4. Data Sharing

We share data only with the following categories of recipients, and only as necessary to operate the Service:

• Google Maps Platform — to compute midpoints and fetch venue data. Addresses are sent per-request and are subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Stripe — to process payments. Subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.
• Infrastructure providers — cloud hosting, database, and monitoring services bound by data processing agreements.
• Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights.

5. Data Retention

Account and team data is retained for the duration of the subscription plus 30 days after account closure, after which it is deleted or anonymized. Server logs are retained for up to 90 days. Payment records are retained as required by applicable tax and financial regulations.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, role-based access controls, and regular security reviews. No system is perfectly secure; we will notify affected customers of any confirmed data breach as required by applicable law.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@halfway.guru. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Cookies

We use session cookies necessary for authentication and a small number of functional cookies. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email to the account administrator or by a notice in the Service. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
