The privacy promise
Private by default.
For yourself first.
RITEN is a journaling ritual. The work of becoming is intimate. That has shaped how we’re building from day one.
What we collect right now (pre-launch)
You’re on a waitlist page. The only thing we ask for is your email — so we can tell you when the closed beta opens. We store the email and nothing else. No tracking pixels. No analytics today. No third-party scripts.
What we will never do
- Default you into public sharing of your entries, marks, the identities you tend, or any other personal data.
- Sell your email or any other data to third parties.
- Share your private content with the rest of the RITEN community without an explicit, opt-in choice from you.
Voice journaling
When you speak instead of typing, the native app transcribes on your device— the audio never leaves your phone, and only the text you keep is written into your garden. In a browser today, dictation runs through your browser’s own speech service, so we mark voice there as not private and keep typing one tap away.
Who can see a mark (me · shared · public)
Every entry carries a reach. The default is me — yours alone. You can widen a mark to a small circle you name, or make it public, one choice at a time. A veil renders you anonymous everywhere, even to your circle. No feed is public-by-default; nothing is broadcast.
The full policy
We’ll publish the formal privacy policy before the closed beta opens. If you have a question before then, email hello@riten.to.
