What temenos.place keeps about you

If you sign up, a few things are stored: your email address, your first name, and your last initial.

If you choose to add a sign-in method on your account page, a little more is kept — but never anything that can sign in as you elsewhere: a password is stored only as a one-way hash (never the password itself), and a passkey is stored as a public key per device (the private key never leaves your device). You can remove either at any time.

Email is used to send a one-time confirmation when you sign up, a one-time link when you want to sign in, and — unless you switch it off — the occasional reminder that today's page is here.

First name and last initial appear next to any replies you leave so other participants can see who replied.

There are no analytics, no tracking pixels, no third-party scripts, no advertising, and no newsletter. The site does not track who is reading or what they're reading. Replies are deleted automatically when each day's post is replaced.

The only email sent is practical: the sign-in and confirmation links you ask for, plus an optional reminder you control — set it to off, a gentle drift nudge, or a weekly note, and change or stop it in one click.

You can adjust when the reminders land during your day. To do that, the site also stores your timezone and your preferred time of day; both are shown and editable on your reminder-settings screen, along with a listing of emails the site has sent you.

If you sign in with Google, you tell Google that you use this site (because your browser visits accounts.google.com during sign-in). We receive your email, first name, and last initial from Google's profile and store them just as we would for an email signup. You can use the magic-link sign-in instead if you'd rather not involve Google.

To leave, email craig@temenos.place and ask to be removed. Your account, along with anything attached to it, will be deleted, no questions asked. :)
