Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-07-09. Yourkive is in an early preview; this policy will evolve, and material changes will be surfaced in the app.
The short version
Your journal is yours. We never see it. Your entries live on your device as plain Markdown files. If you turn on sync, a copy goes to your own cloud (e.g. your Google Drive) — not to us. Yourkive has no account and no server that stores your writing.
The only data that ever reaches us is anonymous product usage, and only if you opt in. It is about the app and your device — never your content.
What we collect (only after you choose “Share anonymous usage”)
Nothing is collected until you opt in on first run (or in Settings → Your data & privacy). When enabled, we collect:
A pseudonymous device id — a random value generated on your device so we can count distinct devices without an account. It is hashed before we store it, is tied to nothing about your identity, and you can reset it anytime in Settings.
Device / environment basics:
- device class (mobile/desktop), operating system + major version, browser
- screen size, window size, device pixel ratio
- CPU core count and a coarse memory tier (e.g. “8 GB”), reported by your browser
- language, time zone, network type (e.g. “4g”)
- whether the app is installed (standalone) or running in a browser tab
- approximate on-device storage used (rounded)
- notification-permission state
- your approximate country (derived at our edge from your IP; your IP itself is not stored)
Feature-usage events (what you do, never the content of it):
- app opened; which views you open (entries / calendar / stats / automations)
- an entry was created; an attachment or link was added
- an automation was enabled or ran (and for which connector), and whether it succeeded
- a search happened (with a count bucket of results — never the query text)
- export used; theme, detail level, or lock mode changed; sync enabled
- errors (an error type — never content), app version, and a rough bucket of how long the app is open in the foreground
That is the complete list. Events are structurally restricted to a fixed catalog and to primitive, length-limited values, so free text or content cannot be transmitted.
What we NEVER collect
Your entries, titles, tags, search text, file names, precise location, attachments, your Google/Drive tokens, or any content of your journal. Ever.
Where it goes and how long we keep it
Anonymous usage is sent to our Cloudflare worker and stored in our Cloudflare account: an aggregate dashboard (Analytics Engine) and a raw, de-identified event archive (R2). We use it solely to understand which features are useful and on what devices, so we can improve Yourkive. We do not sell it or share it with advertisers.
Feedback you send
If you use the contact form or “Send feedback,” we receive what you write, an optional contact you provide, and (if you leave the box checked) basic diagnostics: app version and device basics as above — never your entries. We use it only to fix problems and improve the app.
Your choices
- Opt out anytime: Settings → Your data & privacy → turn off “Share anonymous usage.” Nothing further is sent.
- Reset your device id anytime in the same place.
- Because we hold no account and no content, there is nothing personal of yours for us to export or delete on request beyond the anonymous, de-identified usage above.
