Most privacy pages ask you to trust them. This one asks you to test it. Every promise TimePeace makes about your data is written so you can check it yourself, and so you would know if it were false. Here is exactly how we keep your life yours, what we refuse to do, and how to hold us to it.
Open your browser’s developer tools and watch the network while you save an entry. It goes over an encrypted connection to TimePeace’s own servers, into your own account. No ad network and no data broker is on the other end.
Look for anywhere your entries could be shown: there is no feed, no public profile and no followers. The only place anyone else sees anything is a group you join, and only what you choose to share there.
Point any tracker-blocker, or your browser’s own privacy report, at this website or the web app. You will find no third-party ad networks and no cross-site trackers. The iPhone app tells one advertiser, Meta, only that it was installed, opened or used to make an account, exactly as the privacy policy says. Nothing here is sold.
Read the privacy policy and the in-app permission screen side by side. Every category we touch is named in plain words. Switch any of them off and watch the app keep working.
Use Export to download your whole record, then delete your account and check that it is really gone. No retention trap, no exit fee, no data held hostage.
These are today’s firm lines. The deeper promise underneath them: you’re in control of your own data, and whichever way you choose to use it, we respect that choice.
Switch your phone to airplane mode and search your diary. It works the same, because the searching happens on your phone and nothing is sent out.
Open Settings and look for App lock. It is there for everyone, with no plan to upgrade to and nothing to pay.
Open Settings, go to Privacy & data and tap Download my data. Your whole record, as a full backup file or as your diary in plain text, is free for everyone.
Open the app in your browser and look at the Network list in its developer tools. Every script and font comes from timepeaceapp.com. The one outside address is Cloudflare’s visit counter, which counts visits without cookies and builds no profile of you. Our privacy policy names it.
TimePeace has not yet been audited by an independent security firm. That is the honest state today, and we would rather say so than let you assume otherwise. When we are audited, we will:
A promise you cannot check is just marketing. An audit you can read is proof. Until then, the page above is the test.
That is exactly the problem we are trying to fix. A claim you cannot check is only marketing. So every promise above is written as a test: something you, or a journalist, or a sceptic could run and catch us out on if it were false.
Because the gaps are where harm usually hides. Most apps quietly collect more than they admit. Naming what we refuse to do, and keeping the list short and specific, is how you can tell the difference between a promise and a slogan.
Not yet, and we will not pretend otherwise. When we are, we will name the firm and publish the whole report here, good and bad. Until that day, this page is the test, and you are welcome to run every line of it.
