Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Alpha2Zulu LLC ("Alpha2Zulu," "we," "us," or "our"), operating the Beacon service by H1L (One Human Left) ("Beacon"), collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use getbeacon.1humanleft.com and the Beacon application (together, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

  • Account information: name, email address, password (hashed, never stored in plaintext), and billing details you provide when you register.
  • Content you create: posts, drafts, scheduled content, uploaded media, and the inputs you give Beacon's AI features (FingerPrint™, DNA™, Mira).
  • FingerPrint™ voice profile data: writing samples and interview responses used to build your personal voice model.
  • Connected social account data: OAuth access tokens and profile/engagement data from platforms you connect (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, Threads, X), limited to what each platform's API exposes for the permissions you grant.
  • Payment information: processed directly by our payment processor, Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number.
  • Usage data: log data, device/browser type, IP address, and interaction data (e.g. feature usage, session length) collected automatically.
  • Communications: messages you send us via email or support channels.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide, operate, and maintain the Service, including generating, scheduling, and publishing content on your behalf.
  • To build and refine your FingerPrint™ voice model and DNA™ content strategy.
  • To process payments and manage your subscription.
  • To communicate with you about your account, updates, and support requests.
  • To monitor, secure, and improve the Service, including diagnosing technical issues.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

Beacon does not sell your personal information, and does not use your content to train third-party AI models beyond what is strictly required to generate your own outputs during your active use of the Service.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or UK, we process your personal data on the following legal bases: performance of a contract (to provide the Service you signed up for), legitimate interests (to secure and improve the Service), consent (where you have explicitly granted it, e.g. connecting a social account), and compliance with legal obligations.

4. Who We Share Data With

We share information only with service providers ("subprocessors") who help us operate the Service, under contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations:

  • Stripe — payment processing and subscription billing.
  • Anthropic — underlying AI model provider for content generation features.
  • Social platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, Threads, X) — to publish and manage content you direct us to post, via the OAuth permissions you grant.
  • Infrastructure/hosting providers — to host the application and store data securely.

See our Data Protection statement for the full subprocessor list and retention schedule. We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we do not share it for third-party advertising purposes.

5. Data Retention

We retain account and content data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain records for legal, tax, or billing purposes (e.g. billing records are retained for 7 years). See our Data Deletion page for details on how to request deletion.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS), encrypted storage of social media credentials, access controls, and firewalled infrastructure. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Delete your personal data ("right to erasure").
  • Restrict or object to certain processing.
  • Port your data to another service in a machine-readable format.
  • Know / opt out of the sale of personal information (California, CCPA) — we do not sell personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of.
  • Non-discrimination for exercising any of the above rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@1humanleft.com. We will verify your identity before acting on a request and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

8. Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies required for the Service to function (e.g. session authentication) and may use analytics cookies to understand product usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the Service from working.

9. International Data Transfers

Beacon is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) for such transfers.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to individuals under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date, and for material changes we will provide a more prominent notice (e.g. email or in-app notification).
