3. Data Ownership and Security
We treat your journal entries as strictly confidential, private data. Your entries are never processed for advertising, never shared with third parties, and never analyzed except to provide search features and index your calendar indicators. We implement standard encryption in transit and secure database constraints to protect your data from unauthorized access.
4. Third-Party Services
If you choose to use Google OAuth to sign in to MyDiary, Google shares standard profile information (email, profile identifier, and name) with us in accordance with their privacy guidelines. We do not transmit any of your journal entries back to Google or any other service.
