This privacy policy was last updated January 20th, 2024. There are no pending updates to the policy.

1. Introduction

At Five Year Journal, we care about your privacy. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe. By using our website, you agree to this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect a small amount of information to help us provide our services:

• Email Address: When you sign up for an account, we collect your email address. This is used to communicate with you, such as sending account-related updates or help when needed.
• Your Journal Entries: Any content you write in your journal (such as text or images) is stored securely on our servers. This is your personal content, and we don’t share it with anyone.

We do not collect any other personal information unless you provide it directly, such as in your journal entries.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for these purposes:

• To Provide Our Service: We use your email address to create and manage your account, and to send you important updates related to your account.
• To Process Payments: If you make a payment, we use Stripe to process it. Stripe collects payment details but does not share your personal information with us. You can learn more about how Stripe handles your data by reading their Privacy Policy.

4. How We Protect Your Information

We take your privacy seriously. We use strong security measures to protect your email address, journal entries, and any other information we collect. Your data is stored securely, and we work hard to ensure it stays safe.

5. Your Rights

You have rights over the information you share with us:

• Access to Your Information: You can always view or edit the information we have on file, including your email address and journal entries.
• Deleting Your Account: If you no longer want to use our service, you can request to delete your account and all your journal entries. Use the "delete account" button on your settings page, or contact us at [email protected].

6. Third-Party Services

We use Stripe to handle payments. Stripe is a trusted third-party service, and they have their own privacy policy. We don’t have access to your payment details, but you can read Stripe's privacy policy here.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

From time to time, we may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in how we handle information or updates to laws. Any changes will be posted on this page, so please check back occasionally.
