Privacy

The short version: we store your journal entries and the minimum account info needed to sign you in. We don't sell data. We don't use your entries to train anything. You can export everything and delete everything at any time.

What we collect

  • Account info from Google: your email, name, profile picture, and a stable Google user ID. We receive these only because you sign in with Google — we never see your password.
  • Your journal entries: the text, any media you attach, and the date each entry belongs to.
  • Settings you choose: timezone, theme, and any share links you create.
  • Minimal technical logs: IP address and user agent at sign-in time, retained briefly for abuse prevention.

How we use it

  • To show you your own entries.
  • To generate the short-lived share links you create.
  • To keep the account you own working.

We do not train machine-learning models on your entries. We do not sell or rent your data. We do not show advertising.

Where it lives

Your data is stored in a Postgres database operated on our behalf by a cloud provider. Transmission uses TLS.

Sharing

Your entries are private to you unless you create a share link. A share link is a short-lived URL that returns a markdown-formatted copy of your journal; it expires on the schedule you choose (or never, if you opt for an indefinite link) and can be read by anyone who has the URL before it expires.

We disclose data to law enforcement only where legally required and narrowly tailored to the request.

Your controls

  • Export: from the Yours page, you can export your entire journal as markdown.
  • Delete: from the Yours page, you can delete your account and every entry tied to it.
