Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. Introduction

Rouge Hill Consulting (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Allowd platform. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Service.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Account information — name, email address, and credentials you provide during registration.
• Usage data — pages visited, features used, search queries, and compliance checks performed.
• Device and browser data — IP address, browser type, operating system, and screen resolution collected automatically through standard web server logs.
• Project data — sign parameters, property details, and compliance results you create within the platform.
• Evaluation and session data — inputs submitted during compliance checks (such as address, sign type, sign area, and other parameters), evaluation outcomes, and associated session identifiers. This data is recorded server-side on our own infrastructure for service improvement and analytics.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the Service;
• To personalise your experience (e.g., dark-mode preference);
• To communicate with you about account or service-related matters;
• To detect and prevent misuse or security incidents;
• To generate aggregate, anonymised analytics about platform usage.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

• Service providers who assist in hosting, analytics, or product development, under appropriate data-protection agreements;
• Law enforcement or regulatory bodies when required by applicable law.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Project data you create is retained until you delete it or close your account. Evaluation and session analytics data may be retained in aggregate or anonymised form indefinitely for service improvement.

6. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information. Contact us through the Allowd platform to exercise these rights.

8. Cookies and Local Storage

The Service uses browser local storage to persist your theme preference and session identifiers for analytics. We may also use cookies or similar technologies for session management. No third-party analytics vendors receive your data; all analytics are processed on our own infrastructure.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will indicate the date of the latest revision at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
