The short version
The apps are designed so your personal data lives on your device or in your own account, not on a marketing database. There are no ads, nothing is sold to third parties, and you can delete your account and data at any time from inside the app.
This website itself is even simpler: it runs zero analytics and sets no tracking cookies, and the contact and booking forms only forward what you type to Ben so he can reply.
Who this covers
This policy applies to the products built and maintained by Ben Sachwitz:
- My Daily Tool, a private personal planner and tracker (iOS and web).
- Bar Crawl Golf, a social golf style bar crawl game (iOS and web).
- GreekStack, chapter management software for Greek-life organizations.
- This portfolio site and related project pages.
This website
This portfolio site keeps no profile of you. It runs zero analytics, so nothing measures which pages you visit, and it sets no tracking cookies.
The consent dialog
The cookie banner asks once and remembers your answer on your device only, in your browser's local storage, so it does not ask again. It sets no cookies of its own, and accepting or declining changes nothing about tracking: there is none either way.
The contact form
Sending a message submits your name, email, and message to a serverless endpoint that cleans the input, screens out spam (a hidden honeypot field and per-visitor rate limiting), and forwards your message to Ben by email: first through Resend, then through an email relay service if the first attempt fails. If neither works, the attempt is logged server-side and you are pointed to LinkedIn instead. The server never sends email to any address you type; your details are used only so Ben can read and reply to your message.
Booking a call
Booking sends your name, email, phone, company, chosen time, topic, and notes through the same endpoint. As a safety backup, a copy of the request is also saved in your browser's local storage: it never leaves your device.
What is collected
Information you create
The notes, tasks, meals, habits, scores, rosters, and other content you enter is your data. In My Daily Tool, most of it is stored locally on your device by default. When you sign in, your data syncs to your private account so you can reach it across devices.
Account information
Signing in is optional in My Daily Tool and used to enable sync. If you do sign in, the apps use Sign in with Apple. The apps receive only the basic profile needed to create your account, typically an email address and a name. Sign in with Apple lets you hide your real email behind a private relay address, and that is fully supported. The apps offer no sign-in options from Google or any other third-party provider.
Location
If you grant location access, it is used only to power the feature you asked for, such as local weather in My Daily Tool or finding nearby bars in Bar Crawl Golf. Location is used in the moment and is not used to build an advertising profile of you.
Usage and diagnostics
My Daily Tool collects zero analytics and zero telemetry: no usage tracking, no crash reporting, nothing about how you use the app leaves your device for measurement. Bar Crawl Golf and GreekStack record only the operational diagnostics required to keep their services running (for example, error logs that identify a failed request). Those diagnostics are never used to build advertising profiles, and neither app runs advertising profiling of any kind.
Service providers
A few trusted services help the apps run. Each receives only what it needs for its job:
- Apple, sign in and, on iOS, weather data through Apple WeatherKit.
- Supabase, secure account and game data storage for Bar Crawl Golf.
- MapLibre on OpenStreetMap, and weather providers, maps and forecasts for location features.
- Stripe, payment processing for GreekStack chapter plans and dues.
- Email delivery, to send the messages and reports you request.
These providers process data on the apps' behalf under their own security and privacy commitments. They are not permitted to use your data for their own marketing.
What is never done
- Your personal content is never sold or rented.
- There are no third-party advertising trackers in the apps.
- Your data is not used to train advertising profiles.
Your control
You stay in charge of your information:
- Export or review your data from inside the app.
- Delete your account and associated data directly in the app settings. Deletion removes your synced data.
- Turn off optional permissions like location at any time in your device settings.
- Use without an account in My Daily Tool, keeping data on-device only.
Children
These apps are not directed at children under 13, and personal information is not knowingly collected from them. Bar Crawl Golf is intended for adults of legal drinking age and includes an age gate. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please get in touch and it will be removed.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, the date at the top of this page will be updated. Continued use of the apps after an update means you accept the revised policy.
