Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 4, 2026

Introduction

Daily Fathers ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website dailyfathers.app (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We collect information to provide the readings and operate the website. We do not sell your data. Service providers process data as described below.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you subscribe to Daily Fathers, we collect:

  • Email address - To send you daily readings
  • First name - To address your readings (required)
  • Last name - For record-keeping (optional)
  • Timezone - To display the scheduled delivery time where you live

Browser Storage (LocalStorage)

The original website design stores your subscription form information (email, first name, last name) in your browser's localStorage. This allows us to pre-fill the form if you return to subscribe again.

Important:

  • This data is stored only in your browser on your device
  • We do not access this data from our servers
  • You can clear it anytime by clearing your browser's local storage
  • This is optional and does not affect the functionality of the service
  • If you use a different device or browser, the form will not be pre-filled

Website and Email Measurement

We use Vercel Analytics and aggregate service events to understand website use. Reading emails include an open-tracking pixel. Hosting and email providers process request and delivery information. IP addresses are used for abuse prevention; the new signup service stores a keyed digest for its request limits.

When website design measurement is enabled, an anonymous browser identifier keeps your assigned design consistent. PostHog receives the assigned design, page exposure, signup completion, and selected interaction events. These events exclude names, email addresses, email hashes, form contents, referral codes, full URLs, and unsubscribe tokens. This website experiment does not use session recordings or browser fingerprinting.

The design assignment cookie expires after 90 days. Previously saved measurement declines remain respected until they expire. A separate theme cookie remembers light or dark mode for one year. Referral attribution and navigation source use session storage.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Send you daily patristic readings via email
  • Process your subscription and unsubscription requests
  • Manage the waitlist if we reach capacity
  • Respond to your inquiries or support requests
  • Measure service use, compare website designs with permission, and prevent abuse

We do not use your information for:

  • Marketing or promotional purposes (beyond the service you subscribed to)
  • Selling or renting to third parties
  • Advertising profiles
  • Advertising

Referral Tracking

When you share Daily Fathers using a referral link, we collect:

  • The number of people who subscribe using your referral link (anonymous count only)
  • The date and time of referral conversions

We do not:

  • Share your personal information with people who use your referral link
  • Show referral statistics publicly or to other users

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

We share your information only with:

  • Supabase - Database hosting (data encrypted at rest and in transit)

  • PostHog - Website design measurement described above
  • Stripe - Payment processing when you choose to support the service. Payment details are entered on Stripe.

These service providers are bound by their own privacy policies and only process data on our behalf.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information:

  • All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
  • All data is encrypted at rest in our database
  • Access to data is restricted to authorized systems only
  • We use industry-standard security practices

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Right to Rectification

If your information is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request corrections by emailing us.

Right to Erasure

  • Waitlist: Data retained until you are promoted or request removal
  • Website measurement: Browser cookies last 90 days. Server measurement records are separate from browser storage; withdrawing permission stops new events from that browser. Contact us about removing stored records.
