The rules for using

heycirql

heycirql is a personal tool for keeping track of the people you meet and the places you visit. These are the rules. Nothing surprising — but worth writing down.

What it is

heycirql is a private, single-user tool. You sign in with a Google account and add notes about the people, places, events, and conversations you want to remember. It's all visible only to you. There's no sharing, no social layer, no feed — just a personal memory aid.

Using it

Use heycirql as a memory aid, a travel journal, a contact book — whatever helps you keep track of a life lived across many cities and conversations.

A few things not to do, in the spirit of not being awful: don't use it to harass, stalk, or profile people against their interests — the system can't enforce this, so it's a trust thing; don't use it for anything illegal; don't try to access other people's accounts or data; and don't abuse the service in ways that degrade it for others.

Your data

You own everything you put into heycirql. heycirql doesn't claim rights to your notes, photos, or any of the connections you draw. See the privacy page for details on what's collected, where it lives, and how to delete it.

How it changes

heycirql will evolve over time. I reserve the right to update or change the service — features may come and go, the price may change, the underlying architecture may shift. I'll try not to break things that matter, but I can't promise the version you're using today is the version you'll be using next year.

No warranty

heycirql is provided as-is. No warranties, no service-level guarantees. It might go down for a day, it might lose data if I mess up a migration, it might get discontinued. If anything you're putting into it really matters, keep a backup somewhere else.

Having said that — this is where I keep all of my own information. So it's very much a best-effort service, and I take outages and data loss personally.

Ending it

You can delete your account and all your data instantly from the Profile page inside the app, no need to ask. I can also suspend or delete accounts that violate these terms — in practice, unlikely.
