Privacy Policy

DialAndCase is a private-first home for your watch collection. Privacy isn't a legal afterthought here — it's the product's core promise: everything you add is private by default, and only what you explicitly make public is ever shown to anyone else.

What we collect

• Account data: your email address, display name, public handle, and a securely hashed password (we never store the password itself). If you sign in with Google, we receive your verified email address and Google account identifier — never your Google password.
• Collection data: the watches you add — including purchase prices, private notes, stories, reminders, and photos you upload.
• Optional profile data: avatar photo, bio, social media links, favourite watch.
• Technical data: standard server logs (IP address, request time) kept briefly for security and abuse prevention (e.g. login rate-limiting).

What is public vs. private

• Always private: purchase prices, private notes, hidden watches, your email address. These are never shown on any public page, image, or API.
• Public only if you choose: your showcase page (/u/your-handle), watches with "normal" visibility, and stories you explicitly mark public.

Cookies

We use essential cookies only: a session cookie that keeps you logged in, and a short-lived security cookie during Google sign-in. We use no advertising or tracking cookies and no third-party analytics. Your theme preference is stored locally in your browser.

Who processes your data

• DigitalOcean — hosting (servers and database).
• Resend — transactional email delivery (reminders, password resets).
• Google — only if you choose "Sign in with Google".
• YouTube — only if you press play on a video on the Pulse page; the player (youtube-nocookie.com) loads at that moment, not before. Video thumbnails are served from YouTube's image CDN.

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers.

Your rights

You can access, correct, export, or delete your data at any time — see our GDPR page for details, or just contact us.
