Your Story is a Just Love No BS project run by Jared in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. This page says plainly what we collect, what we don't, and who else touches your information. If something here is unclear, ask us.
The short version
- The recovery tools (call contact, craving timer, days clear, check-in, idea parking lot, workouts, and the lesson practice tools) save only on your own device. We never receive that information.
- The story form sends us what you write or record. Our host records your IP address and device details with it, so you are not anonymous to the host.
- We don't ask for your name or an account. We use no advertising and we don't sell or rent information.
What stays on your device
Your saved contact and text message, safety plan, days clear and milestones, craving count, check-ins, ideas, spark list, workout plan and log, lesson progress and practice notes (I AM lines, sleep scene, revisions, inner conversations, sitting count, and 30-day tracker), and the unlock for the paid tools are stored in your browser's local storage. They are not sent to us or anyone else. The cost calculator and the hungry, angry, lonely, tired check are not saved at all. Clearing your browser's site data, or tapping "Delete everything on this device," removes them. If you switch phones or browsers, they do not come with you. The age confirmation uses session storage that goes away when you close the tab.
What the story form collects
If you use the form, we receive whatever you choose to send: written text, a voice recording or audio file, your answers about replies and sharing, and an email address only if you ask for a reply. Our host, Netlify, also records technical details with every submission, including your IP address, device and browser type, and the page you came from. We do not use those details for anything, but they exist.
- A voice recording carries your voice, and a voice can identify you.
- Submissions are kept until we delete them. We do not currently set an automatic deletion date.
- Submissions are not monitored live. Do not use the form in an emergency. Call or text 988, or call 911.
Sharing your story
We share a story only if you choose "Yes, share it." Before sharing we remove names, places, and anything that could identify you, and we never share your email. Because we do not know who you are, we cannot take a shared story down later, and we cannot find a specific story if you contact us afterward. Only say yes if you are sure.
Payments
The paid unlock is handled by Stripe. We never see your card number. Stripe may give us your email address and payment details, such as the amount and time, so we can confirm a purchase or fix a problem. Your payment is not connected to anything you do in the tools, because we never receive that.
Visit counts
We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and records page views only. It does not tell us who you are or what you type into the tools.
Other services this site uses
- Netlify hosts the site and stores form submissions.
- Stripe processes payments.
- Cloudflare provides the visit counts.
The typefaces and the logo are stored on this site, so loading a page does not contact Google or any other font or image service. Links to other websites are set so they are not told which page you came from.
Some of these companies store data on servers outside Canada, including in the United States, where it is covered by their laws.
Age
Your Story is for adults. You must be 18 or older to use it. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Your choices
You can ask what we hold from a form submission, ask us to correct or delete it, or withdraw consent for us to share it. If you sent a submission without leaving contact details, we may not be able to match a request to your submission, and we cannot unshare a story already shared. To make a request, use the form on the main page, choose "Yes, write back to me," and leave an email address, and say what you need. In Alberta and Canada, privacy law (including the Personal Information Protection Act and PIPEDA) gives you rights over personal information, and you may contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta if you have a complaint.
Changes
If this page changes in a way that matters, we will update the date at the top.
