Privacy Policy

How eleso collects, uses, and protects your information.

Effective: March 12, 2026 Operated by: Alstergee, LLC
Plain-language summary: We collect only what we need to run the platform. We don't sell your data, use tracking scripts, or share your information with advertisers. Your compliance data belongs to you.

1Who We Are

eleso ("we," "our," "us") is a compliance management platform for laser show professionals operated by Alstergee, LLC, a Utah limited liability company. The platform is available at eleso.app.

Questions about this policy may be directed to hello@eleso.app.

2Information We Collect

Account Information

When you register, we collect your name, email address, company name, and a password. Passwords are stored as a bcrypt hash — we never store or transmit plaintext passwords.

Google Sign-In

If you authenticate via Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google's OAuth service. We do not receive or store your Google password.

Compliance Data

Information you enter about your laser shows, equipment, venues, crew members, safety checklists, generated compliance forms, and annual reports. This is your operational data — we store it solely to provide the service to you.

Uploaded Files

Documents you upload (variance letters, insurance certificates, safety plans, floor plans, FAA/FDA correspondence, etc.) are encrypted on disk using AES-256-GCM at the time of upload and stored in access-controlled directories not accessible via direct URL. See Section 5 for full details on our encryption model.

Usage Data

Basic server logs including IP address, browser type, and pages accessed. We use this data only for security monitoring and service operation. We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

4Data Sharing

Shared Shows

If you grant another user editor or viewer access to a show, that user can see the show's data, equipment assignments, crew information, and uploaded documents. You control who has access at all times.

No Third-Party Advertising or Data Brokers

We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, analytics providers, or any third party for commercial purposes.

Service Providers

We may engage third-party service providers (e.g., hosting infrastructure) who process your data solely on our behalf under written agreements that prohibit them from using your data for their own purposes.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required to do so by valid legal process — such as a subpoena, court order, or regulatory directive — or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Alstergee LLC, our users, or the public.

5Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on servers located in the United States. We implement the following technical and organizational security measures:

Note on encryption model: The encryption described above is server-side encryption at rest. The server decrypts your data when needed to provide platform features such as rendering your dashboard, auto-populating forms, and generating PDF reports. This is the standard architecture for SaaS applications that process your data on your behalf. It protects your data from unauthorized disk-level or database-level access, but differs from client-side or "zero-knowledge" encryption where the operator has no ability to access plaintext data.

No security system is impenetrable. In the event of a data breach likely to result in a risk to your rights or freedoms, we will notify you and applicable regulators as required by law.

6Data Retention and Deletion

Files You Delete

You may permanently delete individual uploaded files at any time using the Files menu within your account. Deleted files are removed immediately and cannot be recovered. We do not retain copies of files you delete.

⚠ Warning — Deleting Legally Required Records Laser safety officers and laser show operators may be required under FDA/CDRH regulations, FAA requirements, or other applicable law to retain certain compliance records for specified periods. If you delete compliance records, show reports, or other documents from the platform, you are solely responsible for ensuring you retain a copy elsewhere and for any consequences arising from the absence of those records. Alstergee, LLC takes no responsibility for any regulatory violation, fine, penalty, or enforcement action resulting from your deletion of records that you were legally required to maintain.

Files You Don't Delete

Compliance records — including show reports, safety checklists, and uploaded documents — that you do not delete are retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of creation, in alignment with FDA/CDRH record retention requirements applicable to laser product operators.

Account Deletion

Account deletion is immediate and permanent. When you request account deletion, all data associated with your account — including your profile, compliance records, show data, and uploaded files — is deleted immediately and cannot be recovered. There is no grace period.

⚠ Export Your Data Before Deleting Your Account Once your account is deleted, all your data is gone permanently. Export any records you wish to retain — including compliance reports, checklists, and uploaded documents — before requesting account deletion. We cannot recover data after an account is deleted.

To request account deletion, contact us at hello@eleso.app.

10International Users

The platform is operated from the United States and is primarily intended for users in the U.S.

▶ International Data Transfer Notice If you access the platform from outside the United States, your personal data will be transferred to and processed on servers located in the United States. By using the platform, you expressly consent to this transfer. The United States may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.

Users in the European Economic Area should be aware of this difference in data protection standards. We implement contractual safeguards where required by applicable law.

11Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised policy on this page with an updated effective date. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you via email to the address associated with your account.
