We don't know who you are.
Really. We never even asked for your email address.
Promise.me has no accounts, profiles, passwords, contact lists, or
private-message database. For a private promise, we don't ask who you are
or who you're sending it to.
When you make a private promise, your browser turns your words into a link.
You send that link — not us.
Text it. Email it. Drop it in a group chat. How you share your promise,
and who you share it with, is up to you.
When someone opens the link, their browser reads the promise from the link
and displays it. Promise.me does not save the words in your private promise
or the information you enter to create it.
Your private promise lives in the link, not in a Promise.me database.
Promise Cards
When someone receives a private promise, Promise.me creates a Promise Card
in their browser.
The Promise Card is generated from the words contained in the private
promise link. Promise.me does not need to store a copy of the card in order
to create or display it.
The recipient can choose to share that Promise Card using the sharing
options available on their device, including social networks, messaging
apps, email, or other services.
Promise.me does not post the card for you or choose where it goes.
If a Promise Card is shared outside of Promise.me, that copy is handled by
the service or app chosen by the recipient and is subject to that service's
own privacy practices.
Sharing a Promise Card does not add the promise to the
Book of Promises.
What do we save?
For private promises, Promise.me does not intentionally store your promise
or the information you enter to create it.
The exception is the Book of Promises.
The person writing a promise may choose to submit it to the Book of
Promises. Doing so means choosing to send information to our servers so
that the promise can be reviewed and, if approved, displayed publicly.
For a Book of Promises submission, we may store:
- the promise and sentiment you submit;
-
any optional information you choose to enter on the Book of Promises form;
and
-
information that is transmitted to our servers as part of that submission.
We don't ask you to create an account or provide information simply so we
can identify you.
Submitting a promise to the Book of Promises is always optional. Private
promises are not automatically submitted, and a recipient sharing a Promise
Card does not submit it to the Book.
A private promise stays private unless the person writing it explicitly
chooses to submit it to the Book of Promises.
What about analytics and ordinary website traffic?
Like most websites, Promise.me uses third-party services for things such as
hosting, analytics, and advertising. Those services may process ordinary
technical information about visits to the site according to their own
privacy policies.
We may use anonymous or aggregated information to understand how Promise.me
is being used — things like whether someone visited the site, created a
promise, opened a shared promise, created a Promise Card, or selected a
card language or stationery color.
We do not send the words in your private promise to analytics.
The Book of Promises is public.
If you choose to submit something to the Book of Promises and it is
approved, the information you submitted for publication may become publicly
visible.
Public means public. Other people may be able to read it, share it, copy it,
save it, or post it elsewhere.
Once something has been made public on the internet, we can't promise that
every copy of it can later be removed.
So please don't submit passwords, financial information, private personal
information, secrets, or anything else you wouldn't want other people to
see.
One more thing.
Anyone who has your private promise link can open the promise.
So even though Promise.me does not save the contents of your private
promise, treat the link itself as something private if the message is private.
Your promise is between you and them.
Promise.me just gives your words a nice place to land.
