Last Updated: April 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of MyFANOSS ("MyFANOSS", "we", "us", or "our") and how we handle personal information that we collect through our website at www.myfanoss.com and any other sites or services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Services").

Personal Information We Collect

Information you provide to us:

  • Contact and account information, such as your name and email address, provided during sign-up via Google OAuth or email magic link.
  • Payment information,such as your credit card number and billing address. For users who pay for premium Services, their payment information is processed by our payment service provider, Stripe. We do not have access to payment card numbers. To learn about Stripe's data collection and usage practices, please read Stripe's Services Agreement and Privacy Policy.
  • Journal entries, including the feelings, affirmations, and free-text responses you enter during your daily FANOSS check-ins. All entry content is encrypted in your browser before being sent to our servers (see End-to-End Encryption below).
  • Partner linking, if you choose to link with a partner, we store that relationship to enable shared entries.
  • Feedback or correspondence, such as information you provide when you contact us with questions, feedback, or otherwise correspond with us online.
  • Usage information, such as information about how you use the Services and interact with us.

Information we obtain from third parties:

  • Third-party login information.When you log in to the Services with Google OAuth, you direct Google to send us information associated with your Google account, such as your name and email address, as controlled by Google or as authorized by you via your privacy settings on Google's services.

Automatic data collection:

We, our service providers, and our hosting platform may automatically log information about you, your device, and your interaction over time with our Services, such as:

  • Device data,such as your device's operating system type, browser type, IP address, and general location information such as city, state, or geographic area.
  • Online activity data, such as pages you viewed, how long you spent on a page, and navigation paths between pages.

We use cookies, which are text files that websites store on a visitor's device to uniquely identify the visitor's browser or to store information or settings in the browser for the purpose of helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and enabling functionality.

How We Use Your Personal Information

  • To operate our Services: provide, operate, maintain, secure, and improve our Services; communicate with you about our Services, including by sending announcements, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages; and respond to your requests, questions, and feedback.
  • For identity verification: if you log into our Services using Google OAuth, we will use your information to verify that you are associated with the email address provided.
  • For research and development: to analyze and improve the Services and to develop new features. We never use your encrypted journal content for this purpose.
  • To comply with law: as we believe necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process.
  • For compliance, fraud prevention, and safety:to protect our, your, or others' rights, privacy, safety, or property; to enforce the terms and conditions that govern our Services; and to protect, investigate, and deter against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical, or illegal activity.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not use your journal entries for marketing, analytics, training, or any purpose other than displaying them back to you (and your partner, only when you explicitly choose to share).

How We Share Your Personal Information

  • Service providers. We may share your personal information with third-party companies and individuals that provide services on our behalf or help us operate our Services (such as hosting, email delivery, and payment processing).
  • Professional advisors. We may disclose your personal information to professional advisors, such as lawyers and auditors, where necessary in the course of the professional services that they render to us.
  • For compliance, fraud prevention, and safety. We may share your personal information for the compliance, fraud prevention, and safety purposes described above.
  • Business transfers. We may sell, transfer, or otherwise share some or all of our business or assets, including your personal information, in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution. In such a case, we will make reasonable efforts to require the recipient to honor this Privacy Policy.

End-to-End Encryption

Your check-in entries, including feelings, affirmations, and all free-text responses, are encrypted in your browser before they ever reach our servers using AES-256-GCM encryption. Encryption uses a passphrase that only you know (and your partner, if you choose to share it with them). We do not store your passphrase, and we have no way to decrypt or view your journal content. If you lose your passphrase, your encrypted data cannot be recovered. The MyFANOSS team cannot help you recover it.

Your Choices

  • Access, update, or delete your information. You may review, update, and delete your data at any time through the Settings page within the app. Deletion is permanent and immediate.
  • Opt out of email notifications. You may opt out of partner notification emails at any time in Settings. You may continue to receive service-related and other non-marketing communications.
  • Blocking cookies in your browser. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings.
  • Portability. Your data belongs to you.

Stripe

Users who use a payment card to purchase premium Services will have their payment information handled by Stripe. The information you provide to Stripe is handled in accordance with their terms and privacy policies. Your payment data is stored by Stripe. For more information, please read Stripe's Services Agreement and Privacy Policy.

Email Notifications

If you opt in, we send your partner a notification when you share an entry. These emails contain no FANOSS content — only a prompt to log in. We use Brevo to send these emails. You can disable notifications at any time in Settings.

Other Sites, Mobile Applications, and Services

Our Services may contain links to other websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated by third parties. These links are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. We do not control third-party websites, mobile applications, or online services, and we are not responsible for their actions. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites and services you use.

Security Practices

We use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures designed to protect against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, disclosure, alteration, and destruction of personal information we maintain. All entry content is encrypted client-side before storage. All connections are encrypted via TLS. Authentication is handled through secure, HTTP-only cookies with row-level security policies ensuring only you (and your linked partner for shared entries) can access your data. Unfortunately, data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed as completely secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of personal information.

Children's Privacy

MyFANOSS is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information through the Services from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a minor without the consent of the minor's parent or guardian as required by law, we will delete it.

International Users

By using our Services, you understand and acknowledge that your personal information will be transferred from your location to our facilities and servers in the United States.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by updating the date of this Privacy Policy and posting it on our Services. We may also provide notification of changes in another way that we believe is reasonably likely to reach you, such as via e-mail or within the app. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the new terms and/or upon implementation of the new changes on our Services. Continued use of MyFANOSS after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
