Who we are
Daily Planner — the planner, its welcome page and these pages — is made by Ben Morin, an individual based in France (“we”). His details are in the legal notice.
By using Daily Planner on this site you accept these terms.
The planner
The planner is free for everyone, with all its features, and needs no account. Nothing in it is for sale. It runs in your browser and keeps your data on your device; the privacy policy explains the little the site receives.
Your data is yours, and keeping it is up to you: clearing your browser’s data, losing a device or a browser problem can delete it. Use Backup all data regularly. Personal sync, if you turn it on, is a convenience, not a backup.
We provide the planner as it is and may change, improve or remove features over time. To the extent the law allows, we give no warranty that it will always be available, free of errors or suited to a particular purpose. If you are a consumer, you keep all the rights the law gives you.
Open source
Daily Planner’s source code is open source, under the MIT licence. You may use, copy, change, publish and share it, in your own copy of the planner or anywhere else, as that licence allows; its full text comes with the code, in the LICENSE file. The software is provided “as is”, without warranty, as the licence says.
The licence covers the code, not the name or the logo. “Daily Planner”, “Daily Planner by Ben Morin” and the Daily Planner logo are not licensed for reuse: a copy or a fork you publish needs a name and a logo of its own, and must not suggest that it is ours or that we endorse it. You may of course say, accurately, that it is based on Daily Planner’s code. The TRADEMARKS.md file, which comes with the code beside LICENSE, lists the files that carry the logo.
A copy that someone else runs is theirs. These terms and our privacy policy cover only the planner and the site we publish here.
The website and its forms
The welcome page, the Contact page and these pages are part of the site. When its server is switched on, the site receives what you choose to send it: feedback from the planner, a question from the Contact page, a waitlist sign-up from the planner’s sync guide, and anonymous usage counts that you can switch off. The privacy policy says what is kept, why and for how long.
We read what you send and try to reply, but we don’t promise a reply time. Please don’t send passwords, your sync passphrase or other secrets through the forms.
Sponsoring Daily Planner through GitHub Sponsors, where the site offers it, is optional and handled by GitHub under its own terms. It doesn’t buy any feature or service: the planner is the same for everyone.
Personal sync
Personal sync is optional. It keeps one copy of your planner in your own Google Drive or your own Dropbox, so your devices stay in step. That account is yours, and your agreement with Google or Dropbox applies to it; we don’t run it and never see it.
The copy is sealed on your device with a passphrase you choose before it leaves. We never receive that passphrase and can’t recover it: if you forget it, a sealed copy can’t be opened, so keep a backup of your planner too.
Acceptable use
Use Daily Planner lawfully and fairly. Please don’t:
- overload, probe or attack the site or its server;
- send spam or unlawful content through its forms;
- use the Daily Planner name or logo to present a copy, a fork or a service as ours.
We may refuse or delete a message that breaks these rules, and block what attacks the site.
Liability
We are responsible for our own mistakes as the law provides. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, for data lost from your device (keep backups), for a sealed copy that can’t be opened without its passphrase, or for services we don’t run, such as your browser, Google Drive, Dropbox, GitHub, or a copy of the planner run by someone else. Nothing in these terms limits a liability that the law does not allow us to limit.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example when the planner gains features or the law changes; the date at the top shows the current version. A change applies from that date, and never takes back the rights the MIT licence gave you for a version of the code you already have.
Governing law
These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer living in another country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live.
If something goes wrong, please write to us first: we will try to put it right quickly.
