These are first-party, session-based, and essential for the platform to work. You cannot opt out without logging out. • **Local storage:** Used to store non-sensitive preferences (e.g., sidebar state, onboarding progress).

10. Children and Minor Accounts

The Nexus club management portal is for adults aged 18 and over. The Nexus member mobile app may be used by minors through a parent or guardian-linked account. When a minor is added to the platform: • The parent or guardian must accept the terms on behalf of the minor • The parent or guardian is the primary account holder with full control • We do not use minors' data for marketing or profiling purposes • Health notes and emergency contacts for minors are stored with heightened security • Parents may request deletion of their child's data at any time by contacting privacy@alestra.app We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years old directly.

11. International Data Transfers

Our primary infrastructure is hosted in Australia (Supabase ap-southeast-2 region). Some sub-processors may process data in other countries (e.g., Stripe in the US, Resend in the US/EU). Where personal data is transferred outside of Australia to countries without equivalent privacy protections, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through: • Standard contractual clauses (for EU/UK data) • Data processing agreements with each sub-processor • Reliance on sub-processors that maintain their own compliance programs (e.g., Stripe's PCI DSS certification)

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email and an in-app notification at least 14 days before the updated policy takes effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the changes, you must stop using the Service and request deletion of your data.
