Information for intergroups, central offices, and area service committees
This page explains what Auditend does, what data we use, and why your fellowship is never involved in our service.
Why this page exists
We understand that recovery organizations are protective of their traditions and member anonymity. This page is intended to address concerns you may have about how Auditend interacts with meeting data. We are not asking for partnership, endorsement, or any action from your organization.
What we do not do
No location tracking
GPS is checked once at check-in to confirm presence within 300 feet of the meeting address. There is no continuous or background tracking.
No meeting monitoring
We have no presence at meetings and no knowledge of what happens there. We do not record, observe, or report on meeting content.
No data sharing with recovery programs
Intergroups, central offices, and service committees never receive information about who uses Auditend or who checks in at meetings.
No reporting to fellowships
Check-in records go only to the participant and to courts or supervising agencies they authorize. Your fellowship is never a recipient.
What Auditend does
Auditend helps people who are required to attend meetings by courts, probation officers, or treatment programs document their attendance. Instead of paper sign-in sheets, which are easy to forge, participants create a timestamped, location-confirmed check-in on their own device.
The check-in confirms they were at the meeting address at that time. Courts and supervising agencies receive this documentation. Your fellowship is never involved.
How location confirmation works
Participant arrives at the meeting and taps check-in
GPS confirms they are within 300 feet of the meeting address
Location data is discarded immediately after confirmation
The meeting and your fellowship never receive location data or notification of check-ins.
What meeting data we use
To show participants where meetings are located, we use publicly available information from meeting finder websites:
- Meeting name
- Address
- Day and time
This is the same information available to anyone who visits your website or uses a meeting finder app. We do not access private or internal meeting information.
Technical details for webmasters
Many intergroup websites use the 12 Step Meeting List (TSML) WordPress plugin. This plugin provides a standard API endpoint that meeting finder apps use to display meeting information:
yoursite.org/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=meetingsWe use this endpoint to sync publicly available meeting times and locations. This is read-only access to the same data displayed on your public meeting finder page.
Some sites have this endpoint password-protected or behind Cloudflare. If you would like your meetings included in Auditend, we can work with you to establish read-only access. This is entirely optional.
Questions or concerns
If you have questions about how Auditend works or how we handle data, we are happy to answer them.
