The Key Habit

Privacy

Last updated 14 September 2026

The short version: nothing on this site identifies you, the tools keep their data on your device, and no third party sees anything you do here.

What is not collected

  • No cookies are set on any public page.
  • No third-party scripts, pixels, fonts or embeds are loaded. Every request your browser makes goes to this site only.
  • Your IP address is never stored.
  • Nothing you type into the Today page or the Right now page leaves your device.

Anonymous usage counts

To know which pages help and which tools get used, the site records page views and tool steps. Each record holds the page path, the type of device and browser, the country and city Cloudflare reports for the connection, the site you came from, and a visitor label made by hashing your IP address and browser with a secret that changes every midnight UTC. The label cannot be reversed, and the same person is a different label tomorrow, so you cannot be followed across days. Raw records are deleted after ninety days; only daily totals are kept.

The browser also stores one timestamp of its first visit, used to report which of four broad ranges your tenure falls in. It is a label, not an identifier.

Your data in the tools

The Today page stores your start date, your daily check-ins and any notes in your browser’s own storage. You can export it as a file, import it on another device, or delete it with one control on that page. Clearing your browser’s site data also removes it.

Accounts

The public site has no accounts. The only sign-in is for the site’s operator, through Google, to reach the private dashboard. If public sign-in is ever added, this page will say exactly what is stored and how to delete it before the feature ships.

Email

The site never emails you. If you email us, we keep the thread only as long as it takes to answer.

Hosting

The site is served from a server in the European Union, behind Cloudflare, which sees connections in order to deliver the site. Its handling of that is described in Cloudflare’s own policies.
