Privacy Policy

Operation Tango is built by military families, for military families. We understand the unique challenges you face during transitions and major life decisions. Your trust is paramount to us, and we take your privacy seriously. We are committed to being transparent about how we handle your data and protecting the information you share with us.

We collect only the information necessary to provide you with personalized, valuable tools:

• •Account Information: Your email address for Magic Link authentication (no passwords to remember or store)
• •Profile Data: Information you provide such as pay grade, years of service, location, family status, and other factors relevant to your calculations
• •Saved Scenarios: Your saved calculations, comparisons, and planning scenarios
• •Usage Analytics: Anonymized data about how you use our tools to help us improve them (no personal information is included in analytics)
• •Affiliate Tracking Data: When you click affiliate links on our site, our affiliate partners (such as Coursera via Impact) may use cookies to track referrals. These cookies are placed by the affiliate network, not by Operation Tango, and are subject to the partner's own privacy policy

Your information is used exclusively to serve you better:

• •To provide personalized calculations and recommendations tailored to your situation
• •To save your scenarios across sessions so you can pick up where you left off
• •To improve our tools based on aggregate usage patterns and feedback
• •To communicate with you about your account and our services

We take the security of your data seriously:

• •Secure Infrastructure: Data is stored securely on Supabase, a trusted cloud database platform with enterprise-grade security
• •Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest

• •Account Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data at any time through your account settings

We use a minimal number of trusted third-party services to operate our platform:

• •Supabase: Authentication and database hosting (privacy-focused, GDPR compliant)
• •Analytics: Privacy-respecting analytics to understand how our tools are used (no personal data tracking)
• •Affiliate Networks (Impact): When you click affiliate links, Impact's tracking technology may place a cookie on your device to attribute the referral. This is standard affiliate tracking and does not share your personal Operation Tango account data with the affiliate network. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more details

We do not use advertising networks, do not sell data to advertisers, and do not allow third-party tracking on our platform.

You have full control over your data:

• •Access: Request a copy of all data we have about you
• •Correction: Update your information anytime through your account settings
• •Deletion: Delete your account and all associated data permanently
• •Portability: Export your saved scenarios and data in a machine-readable format
• •Objection: Object to certain data processing activities (contact us to discuss)

• •Preferences: Cookies to remember your settings like dark mode preference
• •Affiliate Cookies: Third-party cookies from our affiliate partners (such as Impact for Coursera referrals) may be placed when you click affiliate links.
