Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 9, 2026  |  Version: 2026-09-09

This Privacy Policy describes how Scheme O Holdings, LLC, a California limited liability company located in San Clemente, California, USA ("Scheme O", "we", "us", or "our"), collects, uses, discloses, and protects information in connection with the SCHEME O web and desktop application and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.

1. Who We Are

Scheme O Holdings, LLC is the controller responsible for personal information processed through the Service. For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, contact us at contactus@schemeo.org.

2. Information We Collect

• Account Information: Email address, phone number, first and last name, and, if you choose to provide it, your military branch and rank or your indication that you are not in the military.
• Authentication Data: Credentials and session tokens used to secure and maintain access to your account.
• Map & Content Data: Scenarios, overlays, geometries, routes, symbols, and related planning content you create or upload, stored in association with your account.
• Usage & Device Data: Session activity, features used, button interactions, app version, device category (e.g., desktop or mobile), general technical logs, and a non-identifying hashed indicator of network origin, collected to operate, secure, and improve the Service.
• Consent Records: The fact, date, time, and version of the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy you agreed to at sign-up.
• Communications: Information you provide when you contact support or correspond with us.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to: provide, operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service; authenticate your identity and protect accounts against fraud and abuse; store and sync your planning content; respond to support requests; understand usage patterns through aggregate analytics; comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use; and, if and when payment features are introduced, to process transactions. Where required by applicable law, our legal bases for processing are the performance of our contract with you, your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service, and compliance with legal obligations.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

The Service uses browser local storage and similar technologies to keep you signed in, autosave your work, support crash recovery, and remember preferences. These are essential to core functionality. The Service does not use third-party advertising cookies.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose information only as follows:

• Service Providers (Subprocessors): We use trusted vendors to operate the Service, including our database and authentication provider (Supabase), our website and application hosting provider (Netlify), our real-time collaboration provider (Liveblocks), application distribution platforms (such as the Apple App Store), and map tile and terrain data providers. When you share a scenario and work on it with someone else, the contents of that scenario are transmitted to and stored by our real-time collaboration provider for the duration of the shared session so that every participant sees the same plan; the authoritative copy of your scenario remains in our database. These vendors process data on our behalf under contractual confidentiality and security obligations.
• Legal & Safety: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or governmental request, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, or to investigate fraud or security incidents.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Policy.

6. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your account and content data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, and thereafter only as required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by emailing contactus@schemeo.org; we will action verified requests within a reasonable period, subject to records we are legally required to retain (including consent records).

7. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information, including access controls and encryption in transit. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), gives you the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to request deletion or correction, to limit use of sensitive personal information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. To exercise any right, email contactus@schemeo.org; we will verify your request before responding.

9. International Users

The Service is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be processed and stored in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended only for individuals aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the Effective Date and Version above and, where appropriate, notify you or require renewed acceptance. Your continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

6. Acceptable Use

• You will use the Service in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and orders, including those governing the handling of military or sensitive information.
• You will not upload, store, or transmit classified, controlled unclassified, or otherwise legally restricted information through the Service unless you are authorized to do so and the Service is approved for that purpose; the Service is not certified for classified processing.

• You are solely responsible for the data you input and must verify all outputs independently against official sources.

You retain ownership of the scenarios, geometries, and other content you create ("User Content"). You grant us a limited license to host, store, process, and display your User Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you. You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit your User Content and that it does not violate any law or third-party right.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, symbology rendering, and trademarks, is owned by Scheme O Holdings, LLC and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the license granted above, no rights are transferred to you.

9. Third-Party Services

10. Export Control & Lawful Use

You agree to comply with all applicable U.S. export control and sanctions laws and regulations. You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Service in or for the benefit of, any embargoed jurisdiction or restricted party, and that you will not use the Service for any purpose prohibited by law.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, ACCURATE, SECURE, OR UNINTERRUPTED.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SCHEME O HOLDINGS, LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. YOU SPECIFICALLY WAIVE ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE IN REAL-WORLD OPERATIONS. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Scheme O Holdings, LLC and its members, officers, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms or any law.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Upon termination, the license granted to you ends; provisions that by their nature should survive (including Sections 7–13 and 15–17) will survive.

15. Modifications

We may modify the Service or these Terms at any time. When we make material changes to these Terms, we will update the Effective Date and Version above and, where appropriate, require renewed acceptance. Your continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance.

16. Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 17, the state and federal courts located in California shall have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to venue there.

17. Dispute Resolution & Class Action Waiver

To the extent permitted by law, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered under the rules of a recognized arbitration provider, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court or seek injunctive relief to protect intellectual property. You and Scheme O waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. If this waiver is found unenforceable, the dispute shall proceed in the courts identified in Section 16.

18. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a business transfer.
