This notice covers the publicly downloadable two-user evaluation edition; invitation-only wording below is superseded. Workspace content remains on the tester's computer. This edition has no SMTP, IMAP, activation telemetry or cross-instance synchronization. The optional SMTP and LAN-peer flows described below are unavailable. No account registration or online activation is required; no tamper-proof anti-reset mechanism is claimed. Hosting necessarily receives connection metadata such as IP address when you download or visit a website. There is no payment or automatic renewal for the free edition. Trial dates and legal acceptance are stored locally. Support contact: support@alkensdevelopment.ch. The remaining privacy protections below continue to apply.

This notice covers the free, invitation-only ReqBridge Team Beta. It supplements the general ALKENS Development website privacy policy. If the two conflict for this Beta, the more specific and more protective description should be applied until the owner resolves the conflict.
ReqBridge Team is local-first. Workspace content is normally stored on infrastructure chosen and controlled by the participating organization. ALKENS Development does not routinely receive that workspace content.
ALKENS Development processes limited personal data needed to invite testers, record acceptance, provide downloads, protect the release, answer support requests, and manage Beta incidents. No live Stripe payment processing is used for this free Beta.
The participating organization determines why and how it processes names, roles, requirements, tickets, activities, dates, chat messages, attachments, comments, audit events, and other workspace content. It controls the devices, local/shared storage, users, LAN peers, optional SMTP provider, retention, and backups. The organization is responsible for providing any notices and permissions required for its personnel and content.
ALKENS Development does not become the routine controller of this workspace content merely by supplying the software. If the organization asks ALKENS Development to inspect content for support, the parties must minimize/redact it and clarify any additional role or instructions before transfer.
ALKENS Development is responsible for the personal data it uses to manage the Beta, including invitations, acceptance records, release delivery, support, and incident handling.
Depending on how the tester participates, this may include:
The free Beta does not require payment card, bank, payout, live Stripe transaction, or auto-renewal data.
ALKENS Development uses Beta administration data to:
Depending on the applicable law and context, processing is based on taking steps requested by the tester and performing the Beta agreement, legitimate interests in securing and improving the Beta, compliance with legal obligations, and consent where consent is specifically requested. The participating organization remains responsible for the legal grounds applicable to its workspace content.
Workspace records are stored in the local SQLite workspace/database and customer-controlled files/storage. External transfer does not occur merely because a record is created locally.
If the administrator enables and approves LAN peers, workspace changes may be shared between customer-controlled peer devices. The customer decides which peers are paired, must revoke peers that are no longer trusted, and is responsible for its network and recipients.
If the administrator configures SMTP, recipient addresses and email content—including information the administrator chooses to send—are sent to that SMTP provider. The provider is selected and controlled by the customer; its privacy terms apply.
Application security-audit records are retained in the customer-controlled workspace for the configured 180-day period. Passwords, session tokens, SMTP credentials, full licence keys, and signing keys must not be placed in those audit records.
When a tester accesses a website, download, or update resource, the hosting/network providers necessarily process technical connection data such as IP address and request metadata. Existing provider terms and the general website privacy notice also apply.
Data may be accessible to:
ALKENS Development does not sell Beta administration data. It does not use live Stripe processing for this free Beta.
Email, hosting, support, or customer-selected services may process data in Switzerland, the EEA, or other countries in which the relevant provider operates. Before adding a new provider or enabling a customer-selected external service, the responsible party must assess the destination, provider terms, and any required safeguards. The Beta itself does not authorize ALKENS Development to upload customer workspace content to a new cloud provider.
Unless mandatory law, an active incident, or a legal claim requires longer retention:
The business owner must confirm that existing hosting/email systems can follow these periods before publishing this notice. Customer workspace and audit-record retention remains controlled by the customer, except for the application's documented 180-day audit setting.
ALKENS Development and testers should:
No security control or Beta disclaimer guarantees that loss or unauthorized access cannot occur.
Subject to applicable law, individuals may request information about ALKENS-controlled personal data and request correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or a copy where available. Contact alkstodevelopment@gmail.com. Identity may be verified before disclosing data.
Customer personnel should first direct requests about workspace content to their participating organization, because that organization controls the workspace. Swiss individuals may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
Report suspected exposure, unauthorized access, wrong-workspace data, lost Beta administration records, or support-data disclosure immediately to alkstodevelopment@gmail.com. Include only necessary details and do not email secrets.
ALKENS Development will assess containment, affected data/people, recovery, and any mandatory notification. A contractual liability limitation does not remove statutory breach duties.
Material changes to this notice will receive a new version/date and will be provided before they apply. Continued participation will not be treated as acceptance where affirmative acceptance is required. At Beta end, ALKENS Development will revoke distribution access and apply the retention periods above; the tester remains responsible for exporting, backing up, retaining, or deleting its workspace content.
