Privacy Policy — Daily Journal

Summary

Your journal entries never leave your computer. There is no account, no sync, no server, and no network request of any kind — the extension is not capable of sending your writing anywhere.

What this extension does

Daily Journal is a private place to write a short entry each day, record how you felt, tag it, and see your streak and mood over time. An optional evening reminder nudges you if you have not written that day.

Data the extension collects and stores

Only what you write, and only on your device:

Entry text — the body of each journal entry, exactly as you typed it, including any Markdown formatting.
Mood — the mood you selected for that entry (great, good, okay, bad, awful).
Tags — any tags you added to the entry.
Date — the calendar day the entry belongs to, used for streaks, search and the mood chart.

Journal entries are personal by nature. They are stored in plain form in your browser's local storage, on your own machine. That means they are protected by your computer's own security — your device login, disk encryption, and Chrome profile — and by nothing else. Anyone with access to your unlocked computer and Chrome profile could read them. This is the trade-off that comes with there being no server and no account.

What is NOT collected

No browsing history, page content, or page addresses. The extension has no host permissions and no content scripts, so it cannot read any website.
No personal identifiers, name, email address, or account. There is no sign-up and no login.
No location, contacts, calendar, or health data.
No analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, advertising, or tracking.
No sentiment analysis or processing of your entries by any external service.
No network requests whatsoever. The extension's code contains no calls that contact any server.

Where your data is stored

In chrome.storage.local, inside your own Chrome profile on your own device. It is not synced to your Google account, so entries written on one computer do not appear on another.

Export

The Export button assembles your entries into a JSON file and saves it through your browser's normal download mechanism. The file is generated entirely inside your browser and written to your own Downloads folder — it is not uploaded anywhere. Once exported, that file is outside the extension's control, so store it somewhere you consider safe.

Permissions and why each one is needed

Permission	Why it is needed
`storage`	Saves your entries, moods and tags on the device so your journal is still there tomorrow. This is the only place your writing is kept.
`alarms`	Schedules the daily evening check that decides whether to show the reminder. Chrome suspends idle extensions, so a timer is the only way to run something at a set hour.
`notifications`	Shows the once-a-day reminder if you have not written an entry yet. The notification text is a fixed, generic sentence — it never contains any part of your journal.

Third-party sharing

None. Your journal is never sold, shared, transmitted, or disclosed to anyone, including the developer. There is no server component and no third-party service involved.

Data retention and how to delete your data

Delete an entry: open it in the popup and delete it; it is removed from storage immediately.
Delete everything: uninstalling the extension causes Chrome to permanently delete its storage area, taking every entry with it. Export first if you want to keep a copy — deletion is not recoverable.
Retention: entries are kept until you delete them. Nothing expires on its own.

Children's privacy

This extension is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. It collects no personal information from anyone and transmits nothing.

Changes to this policy

Any change will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
