privacy policy

effective: may 2026

talyq is a daily ledger. you log virtues. you log vices. you get a score. this policy explains what data is collected, what is not, where it lives, and what your rights are.

talyq is operated by an independent developer. this policy applies to talyq.com, the talyq web application, and any future mobile application that links to this policy (together, the “service”).


what is collected

1. email address. used to identify your account, send your license key after purchase, and send transactional emails (payment receipts, account-related notices). no marketing emails are sent unless you explicitly opt in.

2. payment information. when you purchase a founding seat, payment is processed by lemon squeezy. lemon squeezy collects your name, billing address, email, and card details. talyq receives only a transaction confirmation and a license key assignment. talyq does not store your card number, cvv, or full bank details.

3. logs you create. the virtues, vices, weights, and daily entries you create.

  • in v1 (current), all log data is stored exclusively in your browser’s local storage on your device. it does not leave your device. talyq’s servers do not see it, do not store it, and cannot recover it.
  • in v2 and later, optional cloud sync will become available. when you choose to enable cloud sync, your encrypted log data will be stored on supabase servers so you can access it across devices. cloud sync will always be opt-in. if you do not enable it, your data continues to live only on your device.

4. optional accountability partner email. if you choose to enable an accountability partner, their email address is stored so we can deliver them your daily score. the partner sees only your score, never your individual virtues or vices.

5. basic technical metadata. device type, browser, operating system, app version, and timestamps of logins. used to keep the service running and to diagnose problems.


what is not collected

  • no mood entries, free-text journal notes, photos, or voice recordings. these features do not exist in talyq.
  • no third-party advertising trackers, facebook pixel, google ads tags, or similar.
  • no access to your device’s microphone, camera, contacts, or location.
  • no behavioral profiling for sale, license, or transfer to any third party.
  • no biometric or health data is collected beyond what you explicitly grant for optional apple health / google fit integration in v2.

sensitive personal data

the behaviors you log on talyq may include sensitive information about substance use, sexual habits, mental health-adjacent behaviors, or other private matters. all logged data is treated as sensitive personal information, regardless of how you label it.

your individual log data will never be shared, sold, licensed, or analyzed by any third party for any purpose other than:

  • providing the service to you
  • generating aggregated, anonymized statistics that cannot be traced back to you
  • responding to a valid legal order, when legally required to comply

who data is shared with

data is shared only with service providers strictly necessary to operate the service:

  • lemon squeezy — payment processing. receives email, billing details, payment information.
  • supabase — database hosting for v2+ cloud sync (only if you opt in).
  • resend / postmark / mailerlite — transactional emails. receives email address and transactional content.
  • cloudflare / vercel — web hosting. receives standard server-level metadata.

each provider is contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only to perform services for talyq.

data is not shared with advertisers, marketers, data brokers, or any analytics platforms outside this list.


international data transfers

some service providers operate servers in the united states, european union, and other regions. by using the service, you consent to your information being transferred to and processed in these jurisdictions.

for users in the european economic area and the united kingdom, standard contractual clauses are used where required.


your rights

regardless of where you live, you have the following rights:

  • access. request a copy of all data held about you. delivered within 30 days of request.
  • correction. edit your virtues, vices, weights, and account email at any time inside the app.

  • portability. export your data in csv format from settings at any time. always free.
  • withdrawal of consent. stop using the service and delete your account at any time. no penalty.
  • objection. email hello@talyq.com to object to specific processing activities.

eu/uk users (gdpr). you have additional rights under the gdpr and uk gdpr, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

california users (ccpa). you have rights under the ccpa, including the right to know, the right to delete, and the right to opt out of the “sale” of personal information. talyq does not sell personal information.


data security

industry-standard security practices are used, including:

  • tls 1.3 encryption for all data in transit
  • encryption at rest for any data stored on servers (v2+)
  • regular security review of infrastructure providers

no system is perfectly secure. in the event of a data breach affecting you, notification will be sent within 72 hours of the breach being identified, along with details of what was accessed and what steps to take.


data retention

  • active account data: kept as long as your account is active.
  • deleted account data: removed from active systems within 24 hours of deletion request, from backups within 30 days.
  • payment records: retained for 7 years as required for tax and accounting compliance.
  • aggregated, anonymized data: may be retained indefinitely.

children

talyq is a general-purpose tracking tool. users define what they track — a virtue could be reading, exercise, sleep; a vice could be excess screen time, sugar, missed homework. there’s no inherent adult content in the product. if a parent or guardian has concerns about a minor’s use, email hello@talyq.com.


changes to this policy

this policy may be updated. material changes will be notified by email at least 30 days before they take effect. the “effective” date at the top of this policy will reflect the most recent version.
