Privacy & care

Your words stay with you.

Last updated: 18 July 2026

Only on this device

Palepage has no account system and no server that stores letters. What you write and seal stays in your browser’s local storage on your device. We cannot see, read, or recover your letters.

What we collect

Nothing about the content of your letters. We do not upload, read, analyze, sell, or track your writing. The app makes no network requests containing your content.

This website (palepage.app, not the app itself) counts anonymous pageviews so we can tell which channel — a post, a link, a search — brought a visitor. Each pageview records only the page path, the referring site's domain name (not the full referring URL), and any utm_ campaign tags present in the link you followed. It does not set cookies, does not read or store your IP address, browser fingerprint, or any device identifier, and there is nothing that connects one pageview to another — we cannot tell a returning visitor from a new one, and we cannot follow you across sites. This data is stored in our own database, not shared with any third party or ad network, and there is no public dashboard — only we can query it.

An optional lock

You can add a passphrase lock, which encrypts your letters on your device (AES-GCM). The passphrase is never stored or sent anywhere. If you forget it, the locked archive cannot be recovered — so keep an encrypted backup somewhere safe.

Backups and your control

You can export a plain or encrypted copy of your archive at any time, import it on another device, or erase everything on the device you’re using. Clearing your browser’s site data also removes local letters.

Crisis-word care

If your writing mentions self-harm, Palepage may gently show a link to helpline resources (such as findahelpline.com). This check happens entirely on your device; nothing you write is sent anywhere.

This is not medical care

Palepage is a light emotional-release tool — not therapy, treatment, or a crisis service, and not a substitute for professional care. If you are in distress or thinking about harming yourself, please talk to a real person now: find a helpline in your country.
