This is a small personal site. It is not a company and there is no legal
department. What follows is a plain description of what it stores and who
can see it. It is written to be accurate rather than reassuring.
The short version
- Nothing here is encrypted in a way that hides it from the site owner.
Everything you type is stored as ordinary text in a database the owner
controls and can read at any time.
- Your list is shared with the owner by design. There is a screen
that shows every account's list. That is the entire point of the site.
- Pictures you mark as shared are also visible to the owner, at full
resolution. Sharing is off until you press the button, and you can stop
sharing again at any time. This is how pictures get handed over for use in
building a site.
- Your other files, drawings and account settings are not shown on those
screens, but they are still stored in the same database and the owner can
read them if they look.
- Nothing here is published at a public address. There is no link that
lets a stranger see your pictures; everything requires signing in.
- There are no adverts, no analytics, no trackers, and nothing is sold or
shared with anyone else.
What is stored
- Your user name, and a password that is stored only as a
PBKDF2-SHA256 hash with a random salt. The password itself is not stored
and cannot be read back, by the owner or anyone else.
- Your list items and their notes.
- Files you save in Notepad and Paint, including the text and the
images themselves.
- Pictures you upload, kept exactly as you uploaded them, at full
resolution and without re-compression. The image data is stored in
Cloudflare R2 and the file name and folder are stored in the database.
- A backup email, if you choose to add one. It is optional, it is
stored as plain text, and nothing is ever emailed to it automatically. It
exists only so you have a way to identify yourself if you are locked out.
- Recovery codes, stored only as hashes. The codes are shown to you
once when generated and cannot be recovered afterwards.
- An authenticator secret, if you turn one on. This is stored as
plain text, because the server needs it to check your codes. Anyone with
database access could use it to generate codes for your account.
- A login cookie, which holds your account number and a signature. It is
not readable by scripts and is not used for tracking.
Who can see it
The site owner. Cloudflare, which hosts the site and the database, as any
hosting provider can. Nobody else. Accounts are separated from each other:
one signed-in account cannot read another account's files or list through
the site, apart from the owner's shared-list screen described above.
Things that are not true here
This site does not offer end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge storage, or
any guarantee that the owner will not read what you write. If you want to
write something genuinely private, do not write it here. That is not a
warning about this particular site so much as about any small web app that
stores plain text in a database.
Deleting things
Deleting a list item or a file removes the row from the database
immediately. There is no trash and no undo, and the Recycle Bin on the
desktop is decorative. Backups or database snapshots taken by the host may
still contain deleted content for a while.
The emulator and the browser window
The Virtual Machine window runs entirely inside your own browser and sends
nothing anywhere. The Internet window loads archived pages from the
Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, so requests for those pages go to
archive.org and are subject to
their
terms and privacy policy, not this one.
Children
This is a private site for a small number of people who know each other.
It is not aimed at the general public and collects nothing beyond what is
listed above.
Changes
If what is stored or who can see it changes, this page changes with it.
