What we store
- Your signature: the name and message you typed, the date you signed, and the country your request came from. All public except the country, which is only ever shown in aggregate.
- Your email: stored so you can be sent your edit link and, if you buy a deed, your receipt. It is never shown on the site, never sold, and never used for marketing you did not ask for.
- A hashed visitor fingerprint: a daily-salted hash of your IP address and browser string, used to count unique visits and to stop one person lighting ten thousand candles. It cannot be reversed and it changes every day.
- Aggregate counters: visits and candles per date, per day, per country. No individual rows.
What we do not store
No passwords, no raw IP addresses in the database, no advertising trackers, no third-party analytics scripts.
In your browser
We keep two things in local storage: the birthday you told us (so the homepage can celebrate it) and the day you first visited (so we can count returning visitors without identifying you). Clearing your browser data removes both. A signed cookie is set only after you open your edit link, so the site knows that signature is yours.
Processors
Cloudflare (hosting, database, bot protection), our email provider (edit links and receipts), and our payment provider (deed checkout — they, not we, handle your card details).
Your rights
Ask us to remove your signature or your email at any time, and we will: hello@owntheday.lol. Your edit link also lets you delete your own signature instantly.
