Privacy Policy

Escalation Binder is a local-first incident and escalation workspace.

Data you create

The app stores the escalation details you enter, including team members, operational references, workbench material, timeline events, evidence metadata, impact, root-cause analysis, action items, updates, decisions, checklists, handoffs, closure verification, and packet activity.

Local storage and iCloud

App data is stored on your device using system persistence technologies. Optional private-device sync and explicitly invited per-escalation sharing use CloudKit and your iCloud account.

Evidence files

When you ask the app to manage evidence, it copies the selected file into app-owned storage. Managed originals and redacted copies remain local to that device. A packet contains their metadata and documented paths, not the file bytes.

Data collection

  • No third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.
  • No tracking SDKs and no cross-app tracking.
  • No sale of personal or escalation data.
  • No additional account is required.
  • No AI service receives your escalation content.

Sharing and ownership

The iCloud owner chooses recipients and permissions for each shared escalation. Recipients may retain information they already imported or exported even after access is revoked. CloudKit does not automatically transfer organizational ownership when an owner leaves.

Deletion and retention

You control the local records. Deleting an escalation removes its local app records and app-managed evidence copies. For a shared packet, an owner stops the share and a participant leaves it. Source files selected from outside the app are not deleted.

Platform services

CloudKit and App Store distribution are provided by the platform operator and are also subject to its privacy terms. Bundle ID: com.teamadler.escalationbinder. CloudKit container: iCloud.com.teamadler.escalationbinder.
