V. Automatically Collected Information
The Company may automatically collect information about your computer hardware and software. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the Company website.
VI. Use of Cookies
The Company website may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize the Company pages, or register with the Company site or services, a cookie helps the Company to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Company website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Company features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Company services or websites you visit.
VII. Security of Your Personal Information
The Company secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The Company uses the following methods for this purpose:
- TLS Protocol
- Clerk: used for secure authentication, TLS enabled.
- Stripe: used for secure payment processing, TLS enabled.
- Neon: used for database hosting. All data is encrypted at rest. TLS enabled.
- Vercel: used for secure application hosting & serverless functions. TLS enabled.
When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet that are beyond our control; and (b) the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this site cannot be guaranteed.
VIII. Right to Deletion
Subject to certain exceptions set out below, on receipt of a verifiable request from you, we will:
-
Delete your personal information from our records; and
-
Direct any service providers to delete your personal information from their records.
Please note that we may not be able to comply with requests to delete your personal information if it is necessary to:
-
Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, and provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between you and us;
-
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity;

Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, provided we have obtained your informed consent;
-
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us;
-
Comply with an existing legal obligation; or
-
Otherwise, use your personal information internally in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.
IX. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law:
- Account and profile data (name, email, user content): retained for the life of your account, and deleted within 30 days of an account-deletion request, except where retention is required by law.
- Subscription and payment records: retained by our payment processor (Stripe) for as long as required by applicable tax, accounting, and anti-money-laundering law (typically seven years in the United States). We retain the minimum billing-status information in our own database for the same period so that we can respond to billing disputes and regulatory inquiries.
- Contact form submissions: retained for up to 24 months from receipt, after which they are deleted unless an ongoing support or legal matter requires longer retention.
- Technical logs (IP address, request timestamps, error reports): retained for up to 90 days for operational and security purposes, then deleted or anonymized.
If you request deletion of your personal information, we will delete records we are not legally required to retain and anonymize any records we are required to keep.
X. Data Security and Breach Notification
The Company maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure, or use. In the event of a security incident involving personal information, the Company will promptly investigate the incident and provide notice to affected individuals and, where required, to applicable regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable law.

XII. Email Communications
From time to time, the Company may contact you via email for the purpose of providing announcements, promotional offers, alerts, confirmations, surveys, and/or other general communication.
If you would like to stop receiving marketing or promotional communications via email from the Company, you may opt out of such communications by Clicking on the unsubscribe button.
XIII. International Data Transfers
The Company is based in the United States, and our third-party service providers — including Clerk, Stripe, Neon, and Vercel — process data in the United States and, in some cases, other jurisdictions. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your personal information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.
For transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to the United States, we rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or equivalent safeguards, as incorporated into our agreements with our service providers. Where our service providers are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (or its UK or Swiss equivalents), we may also rely on those frameworks as a lawful transfer mechanism.
The third parties we work with to store and process your data are:
- Neon: used for secure database hosting. Your journal entries and marathon, week, and day data are stored here. This data is encrypted at rest, and encrypted in transit using TLS protocol.
- Vercel: used for application deployment and hosting. Secured via TLS protocol.
- Clerk: used for secure user authorization. Secured via TLS protocol.
- Stripe: used for payment processing. All payment information is provided directly to Stripe and processed directly by Stripe. The application does not store this data. Secured via TLS protocol.
