Privacy

The short version: your journals are never sent here, because there is no here to send them to. What is collected is that a page was opened, and nothing that says who opened it.

Your journals

They are read in your browser by hledger compiled to WebAssembly, and kept on your device in its own storage. They are not uploaded, not backed up here, and not seen by anyone but you.

There is no account to make and no sign-in, so there is nothing here with your name on it.

GitHub, if you connect it

Your browser talks to api.github.com directly. Your journals and your access token go to GitHub — not through anything of ours, because there is nothing of ours in between.

The token is kept in your browser's storage on that device, and is cleared when you disconnect. What GitHub then does with what it receives is covered by GitHub's own privacy statement.

Counting visits

This site and the app use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies, without local storage and without fingerprinting the browser.

What it records: which page was opened, when, the address that linked to it, and — worked out from the request and not kept — the country, the browser and whether the device is a phone or not. It does not follow anyone between sites, and it is not used for advertising.

What is never in it: anything from a journal. Account names, amounts, dates, file names, repository names, tokens — none of it is in the page address and none of it is reported.

Serving the pages

The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which logs requests as any web host does, including the IP address they came from, in order to deliver pages and to defend against abuse.

If even that is too much

Take the source and run it yourself. It is free software under the GPL, it needs no server, and a copy hosted by you reports nothing to anyone. That is not a brush-off — it is the reason the licence is what it is.

You can also use hledger on your own machine and leave the browser out of it entirely.

Children

Nothing here is aimed at children, and nothing here asks anyone their age, because nothing here asks anyone anything.

Changes

If what is collected changes, this page changes with it, in the same commit that changes the behaviour. The date at the top is when it last did.
