privacy.

hq keeps a day's habits and a few numbers. this is what it stores, where it lives, and who else sees it.
what is stored
your habits, the marks and counts you tap in, the numbers you log, and your name. they are stored server side, keyed to your membership, so they follow you between the mac and the phone.
before storage is on for your account, the same values sit sealed in your browser's cookies. sealed means encrypted. only hq's server can open them, and it does so only to draw your display.
your email is kept so sign-in codes can reach you. there are no passwords.
payment
stripe handles cards. your card number goes to stripe and never to us. we see that a membership is paid, which plan it is on, and the email on it.
google calendar and gmail
both connectors are optional. if you connect google calendar, hq reads today's events and tomorrow's first one. if you connect gmail, hq reads the senders and subjects of unread mail in the inbox. nothing else is read.
both use read-only scopes. hq cannot send, edit or delete anything in your account. what it reads is shown on your display and, if you turn the brief on, used to write that one line. it is not sold, not used for ads, and not used to train anything.
you can disconnect either one at any time from the display. disconnecting deletes the saved token.
hq's use and transfer of information received from google apis adheres to the google api services user data policy, including the limited use requirements.
claude
the claude connector is optional. you paste your own anthropic api key. it is sealed and stored with your membership, and never shown back to you.
to write the one line brief at the top of the display, hq sends the day's date and time, the calendar titles and their times, the inbox senders and subjects, your habit names and which are done, and your streak count to anthropic's api. nothing else goes. anthropic handles that request under its own privacy policy. disconnecting deletes the key.
what is not here
no analytics. no ad tracking. no pixels, no third party scripts, no selling of data. the only cookies are the ones that keep you signed in and, before storage is on, the sealed ones that hold your day.
your choices
disconnect a connector from the display. cancel the membership from billing. to delete the account and everything stored with it, write to ronik@ronikkhanna.com from the email on the membership and it is removed.
