A quiet space.
Your thoughts stay yours.

Your reflections

Unsaved thoughts stay in this page’s memory and disappear when you refresh or close it. When you save, your selected word, question and thought are stored privately under your account. You can read, edit and delete them in My reflections after signing in, including on another device. We do not sell your reflections or use them to train models.

Your account

We use your email address to let you sign in and find your saved words. Neon manages authentication and our database in Singapore. Resend delivers sign-in codes from Zenterval, using our configured sending region in Tokyo. Signing in does not subscribe you to a newsletter. Essential HTTP-only cookies keep you signed in.

Storage and deletion

We keep your account and saved reflections until you delete them or ask us to delete your account. Deleting a reflection removes it from the live database. Our current database recovery history covers up to six hours; provider security and backup records may have separate retention periods. Resend retains email and delivery records for 30 days, with backup copies retained for seven days.

To request account deletion or a copy of your saved reflections, contact us from the address you use to sign in. We verify ownership before processing a request. Please do not send passwords or sign-in codes.

Keeping the service running

Vercel hosts the site and processes technical information such as IP addresses and request logs to deliver and secure it. Our current runtime-log window is one hour. Authentication limits use keyed hashes of email addresses, not raw addresses, in request counters. These counters expire within one hour and are removed on a subsequent authentication request; aggregate daily counters contain no email addresses.

Application code does not log your reflection text, email address or sign-in code. Fonts and images are hosted with the site. We use no advertising trackers or analytics cookies.
