Privacy Policy

Who we are

Last updated: December 21, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how dailyventjournal.com (the “Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses your information when you visit or interact with the Site.

Our website address is: https://dailyventjournal.com.

Personal Data We Collect

We collect very little personal data because the core feature of DailyVent Journal — the interactive journaling tool — is designed with privacy in mind.

  • Journal entries and writing: All text you write using the DailyVent Journal tool is stored exclusively in your browser’s local storage. Nothing is sent to our servers, uploaded, or shared with any third party. You control this data completely — you can download or clear it at any time using the tool’s built-in options.
  • No account or registration required: We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any personal information to use the journaling tool or read our content.

Data We Do Not Collect

We intentionally minimize data collection:

  • No email addresses, names, or other identifiers are collected unless you voluntarily submit them (e.g., via a future contact form, if added).
  • No analytics tracking that identifies individual users (we may use anonymized, aggregate analytics in the future only to improve site performance).
  • No advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels.

Comments (if enabled in the future)

If we enable public comments on blog posts:

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website (in the future, if media uploads are enabled), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

Currently, we do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.

If features are added in the future that require cookies (e.g., remembering preferences, login functionality, or saving comment details):

  • Cookies would be used only for your convenience (e.g., saving your name and email when commenting so you don’t have to re-enter them).
  • You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not share any personal data with third parties because we do not collect identifiable personal data through our journaling tool.

If automated spam detection services are used for comments (in the future), visitor comments may be checked through such a service.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Journal entries: Retained only in your browser until you clear or delete them. We do not store them on our servers.
  • Comments (if enabled): Retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
  • User accounts (if added in the future): Personal information provided in user profiles would be retained until the account is deleted.

Your Rights Over Your Data

Since we collect minimal personal data:

  • You have full control over any journal entries (stored locally in your browser).
  • If you leave comments or create an account (features not currently active), you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, or request that we erase it. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

No data from your journaling activity is sent to our servers or any third party.

Visitor comments (if enabled) may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Thank you for trusting DailyVent Journal with your personal reflections. Your privacy is our priority.
