Your data in Allezou
This page explains what Allezou stores, why, for how long, and who can see it. It's written to be read in full: if something here isn't clear, that's a flaw in this page, not in your attention.

What Allezou stores
Allezou processes personal data, some of which concerns children. That's why this page exists.
| Data | Why it exists | How long | Who sees it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your email address | It's your only way to sign in: Allezou has no password | As long as your account exists | Only you. It's never shown to other members |
| The name you choose to display | So others recognize you. You write it freely: "Sophie," "Léa's mom," whatever you like | As long as your account exists | Members of your circles |
| Your children's first name, and nothing else | To show who's at an outing: "we're at the park with Matéo" | As long as you keep them on your account | Members of your circles, when you mark the child present |
| Your circles, and who's in them | It's the heart of the product | As long as the circle exists | Members of that circle |
| The name you see a circle under, if it differs from the original | So "Classe 4P" can read as "Jules's class" for you | As long as you keep it | Only you. Other members see the original name |
| Which child is linked to which circle | So an outing without your oldest doesn't get sent to their class | As long as you keep it | You, and the child's other parent if they have one. Other members of the circle don't see it |
| Your outings: a place chosen from a list, an end time, and optionally a note of up to 140 characters | This is what you share | Deleted 24 hours after its end time | Only the circles you chose when you posted it |
| Your sign-ups for agenda activities | So others know their child will find someone there | Deleted 24 hours after the activity ends, just like an outing | Only the circles you chose |
| The photo you attach to an activity you propose | So people can see what it is: the poster, or the place | As long as the activity is in the agenda; deleted with it | Everyone, since the agenda is public. The server re-encodes it, which erases the place and time of capture your phone had written into it |
| Your notification settings | So you're only disturbed when you've asked to be | As long as your account exists | Only you |
| The words you watch for in the agenda: "pool," "judo" | To notify you when a published activity contains one | As long as you keep them | Only you. They're never shown to anyone and are used for nothing else |
| Your phone's technical address for notifications | To send you notifications | As long as you keep notifications on | No one: it's a technical identifier |
| A log of permission changes (who let whom into a circle, who removed whom) | So a security issue can be understood | 12 months | The person responsible, if there's an incident |
What Allezou doesn't store
Each of these absences is a commitment. The code that keeps them can be shown on request.
- No password. None exists anywhere, so none can ever leak.
- No GPS location, ever. An outing is a place you choose from a list, with an end time. Allezou never asks your phone for its location, whether the app is open or running in the background.
- No movement history. A past outing is deleted, not archived. Not even the person responsible can piece together where a family went last month, not even as a statistic.
- No messaging. There's no chat thread, no private message, no comment.
- No audience-measurement tools. No Google Analytics, no advertising pixel, no third-party tracker.
- No sales, no commercial sharing. Your data is never sold or shared.
- About your children, nothing but a first name. Members of a circle already know the children in question; the app has nothing to add. No last name, no age or date of birth, no photo, no gender, no school, no class, no health information.
Who sees what, exactly
This is the most important point, and it comes down to a single rule:
A person sees your outing if and only if, at the moment they look, they are a member of one of the circles you sent that outing to, and you haven't cut the link between you.
Here's what follows from that:
- Someone who leaves a circle immediately stops seeing its outings.
- Someone who isn't in the circle sees nothing, and doesn't even learn who belongs to it.
- You can uncheck someone in a circle. They no longer see your outings, and you no longer see theirs. Nothing tells them it happened.
- When several families join the same outing, the list only shows you the people you already share a circle with. A family that joined through the neighborhood doesn't appear to a classmate's parent who doesn't know them.
- Notifications follow exactly the same rule: you can't be notified about something you wouldn't see on screen. And the message sent to your phone doesn't say who or where, only the circle's name, so a locked screen left on a table gives nothing away.
- Agenda alerts are different, because the agenda is public: everyone sees the same activities. What matters there isn't who has the right to know, it's who asked to be told. The message names the word you're watching for, which is yours alone, and never the activity's title.
This rule is written in a single place in the code, and checked by a series of tests that go through each case one by one. It's a proof that can be shown on request.
Where the data is
On servers located in Switzerland, at Infomaniak. It never leaves the country.
Three technical exceptions, none of which involve any personal data:
- the agenda is fed from public Geneva websites (City of Geneva, municipalities);
- pages from those sites that don't publish a structured agenda are read by an artificial-intelligence service to extract dates from them. Only public web pages are sent to it, never any data about you. What it extracts is then checked against the original page: a date, title, or place that doesn't match doesn't make it onto the agenda, and waits for a human check instead;
- the address of a park or hall is sent once to OpenStreetMap, to look up its coordinates so a map link lands on the right spot. It's the address of a public place, sent from our server. Never yours, and never what you're looking at.
Who else is involved
Two intermediaries are needed for Allezou to reach you. Neither one learns what you do in the app.
- Notifications go through your phone's notification service — Apple on iPhone, Google on Android. It's the only path a phone allows: no app is exempt from it. The message is handed to them encrypted: they relay it without being able to read it. They know a message was sent to your device, and when.
- The email that signs you in goes through Infomaniak, our host, in Switzerland. It contains nothing but your sign-in link.
There's also the map, which you trigger yourself — that's the next section.
The map
The agenda and "We're heading out" offer a map of places. It comes from Google Maps — the map most parents already know how to read — and a map loaded by default would be a third-party tracker, exactly what this page rules out. So it follows one simple rule: nothing goes to Google without an action from you.
- As long as you don't ask for the map, Google sees nothing. It isn't loaded with the page: nothing goes out until you tap "View on the map."
- The moment you ask for it, your browser downloads the map from Google, just as if you'd opened Google Maps yourself. Google then sees the area shown — public places in Geneva — but never who is looking at which list: it learns neither who you are on Allezou, nor which outing or activity you were reading, nor which page you came from.
- The ↗ links next to places follow the same rule: they open Google Maps the moment you tap them, never before.
- Your location is never involved. The map shows places, not you. Allezou never asks your phone for its location — the map doesn't change that, and the browser wouldn't allow it anyway. Your location is therefore never sent anywhere: not to Google, not to Allezou.
Your rights
You can, at any time:
- see all the data concerning you;
- correct what's wrong;
- delete your account, which erases your data;
- remove a child, which erases their first name;
- ask for an explanation of anything on this page.
Write to contact@allezou.ch. You also have the right to contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
If this page changes
Any change will be announced in the app before it takes effect. A change that would expand what's collected, or who can see it, will never be applied silently.
