Privacy policy
Short version: the calculators run in your browser and what you type into them is never saved or sent. If you sign up we keep your email, your name, your password (scrambled, never readable) and what you write in your journal, to run your account and write to you about it, along with basic details of the visit that came with the sign up, listed below. We do not sell it or use it for advertising.
What we collect
When you sign up, download a printable or send a message on this site: your email address, what you chose or wrote (for example the interest you picked, the paper size or your message), and the date and time. The system that receives the form also stores, on the same record, the address of the page you were on (including anything after a question mark in it), the address of the page you came from if your browser sent one, your browser type (the user agent text your browser sends), your IP address, and a random identifier. The form creates that identifier the first time you send it and keeps it in your browser's local storage under the name habit-visitor, and sends it with the form so that repeat visits from the same browser can be recognised. A short event record is also written, with the page, the time, your IP address and your browser type.
Matching a sign up to earlier visits. When you sign up, the system looks for page views recorded from the same IP address in the previous 24 hours, or from the same browser type on the same page in the previous 3 hours. It notes on the event record how it matched, the page you came from if that was another website, the first page you landed on, the time of that visit and how many page views it found.
Emails. Each sign up or message sends a confirmation email to the address you gave. It also sends the people who run the site a notice with the details you entered and a copy of your confirmation email. We keep a log of each email sent: the recipient address, the subject, and whether it was delivered or failed.
When you visit: standard page view information through Google Analytics 4, such as the pages you view, your approximate location, device type and how you arrived. When you use a calculator, we record only that the tool was used and its name. We never record the numbers you enter. Analytics does not run if your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.
When you make an account in the app: your name, your email address, your password (stored only as a one way scramble, so we cannot read it) and the choices you make in the app. Everything you write in your journal, such as food, exercise, drinks, sleep times, thoughts and gratitude, is stored so that you can see it again.
If you sign up by email, we email you a 6 digit code to prove the address is yours.
What we do not collect
Anything you type into a calculator stays in your browser and is not saved or sent anywhere. This website does not contain the Daily Journal app and cannot see anything inside it. We do not sell personal information.
How we use it
We use your email address to send you one welcome email when you make an account, to answer you if you write to us, and to tell you about important changes to the service. We do not send marketing email without your consent. We use analytics to see which pages and tools are useful so we can improve them.
The page, the page you came from, your browser type, your IP address and the random identifier stored with a sign up are used to see which page or website brought a sign up here, to recognise repeat visits from the same browser, and to limit abuse of the forms.
We do not read your journal entries and we do not use them for advertising. The owners can open the entries of an account only if that account was set up to allow it, and the person is told inside the app. Only the account holder and people they choose to share with see entries.
Who it is shared with
Service providers who help us run the site: hosting, the database that stores sign ups and accounts, email sending and analytics. Some of these may store or process information outside Australia.
We do not share your email address with anyone else for their own marketing.
How long we keep it
We keep your details and entries until you ask us to delete them or you close your account. Analytics data is kept for the period set in our analytics account. Backups may hold deleted data for a short time before they are cleared.
Your choices
You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you, or close your account, by writing to support@customaidashboard.com from the email on your account. You can also download your entries from the app. You can block analytics cookies in your browser; the cookies page explains what is used. If you are not happy with how we handled your information you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).
Who we are
This site and the Daily Journal app are run by the Daily Journal team in Victoria, Australia. You can reach us at support@customaidashboard.com or from the contact page.
Security and children
We use encrypted connections, store passwords only as scrambles and limit who can reach the database. No online service can promise perfect security, so please choose a strong password and keep it private.
The app is not for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you think a child has signed up, write to us and we will delete the account.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update this page.
