Privacy

dayfile collects as little as it can. This page says what it holds, where, and for how long.

What we hold

• Your log. The events you or your programs post, with their tags, links, payloads and timestamps, plus the position and time the server recorded for each.
• Token records. A hash of each token, its audience labels, expiry and notes. Never the token itself.
• Operational records. Error and health messages from the servers. The web servers do not keep access logs, and the parts of a web address that hold a token are blanked out of any log line.

We do not hold payment details, because there is no billing yet.

On this website

• No analytics, no advertising, and nothing loaded from other sites.
• One cookie, set only when you sign in: it holds your username and read token so the viewer can read your log. Scripts cannot read it, other sites cannot send it, and it lasts up to 8 hours or until you sign out.
• When you sign in, your token goes from your browser to this site, and from here to the log service on the same server, so it can check and read your log. It is not put in a page or a URL.

Where it lives

Logs are stored on servers run by DigitalOcean in the United States, which acts as our infrastructure provider. Data travels over encrypted connections.

Who sees it

Only the people and programs you give tokens to, and the operators of the service when needed to keep it running, to deal with abuse or a security problem, or when the law requires. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

How long we keep it

We keep a log until you ask us to delete it or your access ends. Deleting your account (in Settings) removes it from live service at once; we delete our live copy within 30 days and our encrypted backups age out within 14 days after that.

Your choices

You can read all of your data through the feeds and the API at any time. You can correct it (by posting new events), download a full copy (Settings, Export) and delete your account (Settings, Delete account). For anything else, write to team@dayfile.app.

Changes

If we change this page in a way that matters, we will say so here.
