This Privacy Policy describes how My Online Diary (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use My Diary at https://writediary.online (the “Service”).

1. Information We Collect

Account information: email address, name (if provided), and password when you create an account.
Diary content: the text, photos, mood entries, and other material you write or upload. This content is private by default and is only accessible to you unless you explicitly share a page.
Usage data: basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and timestamps.
Payment information: if you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by our third-party payment provider (e.g., Stripe). We do not store full credit-card numbers.
Cookies and similar technologies: we use essential cookies for authentication and security, and limited analytics cookies to understand how the Service is used.

2. How We Use Your Information

To provide and maintain the Service (including storing your entries and showing daily prompts).
To process subscriptions and send related communications.
To improve the Service and fix technical issues.
To respond to your support requests.
To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal data or your diary entries. We do not use your diary content for advertising or training third-party AI models.

3. How We Share Information

We share information only in these limited cases:

With service providers who help us operate the Service (hosting, payment processing, email delivery), under strict contractual obligations.
When required by law or to protect rights and safety.
If the business is sold or transferred (your data would remain subject to this policy or a similar one).

4. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and appropriate access controls. Diary entries are private by default. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information.

5. Data Retention

We keep your account and diary data for as long as your account remains active. You may delete individual entries or your entire account at any time. After account deletion we remove or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except where we must retain it for legal reasons.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Correct inaccurate data
Delete your data
Restrict or object to certain processing
Data portability
Withdraw consent

To exercise these rights, email us at hello@writediary.online.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. International Transfers

If you are located outside the country where our servers are hosted, your information may be transferred and processed in that country. We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
