Your privacy is critically important to us. At Day One we have a few fundamental principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below is our Privacy Policy, which incorporates and clarifies these principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Howdy! We\u2019re Automattic Inc. (\u201cAutomattic\u201d), the folks behind the Day One application and its related websites (each, an \u201cApp\u200b\u201d or a \u201c\u200bSite\u200b\u201d, respectively). Through Day One\u2019s App and Site, we offer you a journaling program to record your memories, and, if you wish, share them with others as well. Below we explain how we collect, use, and share information about you, along with the choices that you have with respect to that information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout this Privacy Policy we\u2019ll refer to Day One\u2019s Sites, Apps, and other services collectively as \u201cServices.\u201d This Privacy Policy only applies to the Day One Services and not to other services provided by Automattic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve decided to make this Privacy Policy available under a Creative Commons Sharealike<\/a> license. You\u2019re more than welcome to copy it, adapt it, and repurpose it for your own use. Just make sure to revise the language so that your policy reflects your actual practices. If you do use it, we\u2019d appreciate a credit and link to Automattic somewhere on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so \u2014 for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our Services better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We collect this information from three sources: if and when you provide information to us, automatically through operating our Services, and from outside sources. Let\u2019s go over the information that we collect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us directly. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also collect some information automatically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We may also get information about you from other sources. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We use your personal information to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will communicate with you primarily in the form of texts, push alerts, and emails. You can manage the frequency and\/or opt out of receiving these communications by changing your settings on the App, texting STOP in reply to our daily reminders, and\/or clicking the \u201cUnsubscribe\u201d link at the bottom of each marketing email. Please note that even if you unsubscribe or opt-out of our emails, we may still send you Services related communications (e.g., emails related to your account or the App). <\/p>\n\n\n\n We share information about you in limited circumstances, and with appropriate safeguards to protect your privacy. These are spelled out below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We reserve the right to disclose anonymous information or other information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you publicly without restriction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We generally discard information about you when it\u2019s no longer needed for the purposes for which we collect and use it \u2014 described in the section above on \u201cHow We Use the Information We Collect<\/a>\u201d \u2014 and we\u2019re not legally required to keep it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, we keep web server logs for a few months. We retain the logs for this period of time in order to, among other things, analyze traffic, and investigate issues if something goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As another example, when you close your account we wait for a 5-day recovery window and then permanently delete all of your journal entries, their attachments, and your account data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so. We monitor our Services for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To enhance the security of your account, all new journal entries are end-to-end encrypted. We encourage account holders of older journal entries to manually enable end-to-end encryption<\/a>. Journal entries that use end-to-end encryption cannot be accessed by anyone, including us, other than the logged in author of the entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are located in certain parts of the world, including some US states and countries that fall under the scope of the European General Data Protection Regulation (aka the \u201cGDPR\u201d), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, like the right to request access to or deletion of your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are located in a country that falls under the scope of the GDPR, data protection laws give you certain rights with respect to your personal data, subject to any exemptions provided by the law, including the rights to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You also have the right to make a complaint to a government supervisory authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A note here for those in the European Union about our legal grounds for processing information about you under EU data protection laws, which is that our use of your information is based on the grounds that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are located in the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland and you have a concern about our processing of personal data that we are not able to resolve, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Authority where you reside. Contact details for your Data Protection Authority can be found using the links below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For individuals in the EEA: https:\/\/edpb.europa.eu\/about-edpb\/board\/members_en<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n For individuals in the UK: https:\/\/ico.org.uk\/global\/contact-us\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n For individuals in Switzerland: https:\/\/www.edoeb.admin.ch\/edoeb\/en\/home\/the-fdpic\/contact.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Laws in some US states require us to provide residents with additional information about the categories of personal information we collect and share, where we get that personal information, and how and why we use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the last 12 months, we collected the following categories of personal information, depending on the Services used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find more information about what we collect and sources of that information in the Information We Collect<\/a> section above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We collect personal information for the business and commercial purposes described in the \u201cHow We Use the Information We Collect<\/a>\u201d section. And we share this information with the categories of third parties described in the \u201cHow We Share Information<\/a>\u201d section. We retain this information for the length of time described in our \u201cHow Long We Keep Information<\/a>\u201d section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In some US states you have additional rights, subject to any exemptions provided by your state\u2019s respective law, including the right to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We do not \u201csell\u201d or \u201cshare\u201d your personal data as those terms are defined under the privacy laws of the relevant US states. We also do not have any knowledge of any \u201csales\u201d or \u201csharing\u201d of the personal data of minors under 16 years of age. We do not collect or process your sensitive personal information except where it is strictly necessary to provide you with our service, where the processing is not for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you, or for other purposes that do not require an option to limit under California law.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInformation We Collect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
