Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to ChronicleTree. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about our policy, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us.

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the Services, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you participate in activities on the Services or otherwise when you contact us.

• Account data: name, email address and username. If you sign in with Google, Google gives us your name and email address. If you came to us from the badge on someone’s chronicle, we note which chronicle it was.
• Chronicle data: what you add to your chronicle (your page on ChronicleTree), including milestones, photos, links and dates.
• Visitor data: when someone visits a chronicle, we record the visit, the site they came from, which milestones they open and which of the chronicle’s links they tap. To count each visitor once, we keep a one-way hash of their IP address that changes every day, so nobody can be followed across chronicles or days.
• Reports: if you report a chronicle, we keep the reason and anything you write with it. The chronicle’s owner is not told who reported it.
• How you use the product: a few events tied to your account, such as finishing setup, sharing a chronicle or opening checkout, so we can see where people get stuck.
• Technical data: like every website, the companies that host ChronicleTree process your IP address and browser details to deliver pages and keep the service secure. We count page views with a tool that sets no cookies and doesn’t identify you.
• Cookies and browser storage: a cookie keeps you signed in, and your browser remembers small choices such as light or dark mode. We don’t use advertising cookies.
• Payment data: if you subscribe to Pro, the payment is handled by Dodo Payments, our payment partner. They collect your card details and billing address; we never see or store your card number. We keep a record of each subscription: the chronicle it is for, its plan, its status and when it renews.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information collected via our Services for a variety of business purposes described below. We process your personal information for these purposes in reliance on our legitimate business interests.

• To facilitate account creation and logon process.
• To send you administrative information.
• To provide and manage your chronicle.
• To show owners how many people visited their chronicle.
• To take payments for paid plans and manage subscriptions.
• To protect our Services.

4. Sharing Your Information

We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

We rely on a small number of service providers to run ChronicleTree: Supabase (the database, photo storage and sign-in), Vercel (hosting and page view counts), Google (if you choose to sign in with Google) and, for paid plans, Dodo Payments, which processes payments as the merchant of record. They receive only the information they need to do that job.

5. Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

6. Your Privacy Rights

In some regions (like the EEA and UK), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, request rectification or erasure, and restrict processing.
