Privacy & Data 🔐
What is stored?
Anti Procrastination Station stores:
- Your username and a hashed password (your password is never stored in plain text).
- Your tasks and birthdays, stored as encrypted text.
- Basic technical logs (e.g., IP address, timestamps, errors) are stored temporarily to combat DDoS attacks and keep the service secure and running.
How is my data protected?
Task content and birthday details are stored in encrypted form. The database never stores them as plain text. Even if someone obtained a copy of the database, they would see only scrambled data, not readable content.
Can you read my data?
No. APS is designed so that your stored content is not readable without your credentials. Your data is your data.
Cookies and sessions
APS uses session cookies to keep you logged in. These cookies are only used for authentication and basic security. They are not used for cross-site tracking or advertising.
Third parties
The app does not use any third-party services aside from the internet connection required to run the web application.
How long is data kept?
Your account data is kept as long as your account exists. If you delete your account using the built-in delete function, your user record, tasks, and birthdays are removed from the database. Some anonymized technical logs may remain for a limited time for security and debugging.
Account deletion
When you delete your account, the app removes your user account and associated encrypted content from the main database. This process is not reversible. If database backups exist, those will expire or be rotated according to the hosting environment’s policies, but they still contain only encrypted content.
Your responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Choosing a strong, unique password.
- Keeping your login credentials secret.
- Understanding that if you lose your password, your encrypted data cannot be recovered.
