Website privacy
Updated 28 September 2026. This notice covers torquediary.com, operated by the Torque Diary project. It does not describe data handling inside our Android alpha app.
Your choice comes first
Google Analytics is optional. We do not load Google's analytics tag or send analytics measurements to Google until you select Accept analytics. Declining does not affect access to this website.
Use Cookie settings below or in the website footer to change your choice. Withdrawing consent stops further analytics collection in this browser and removes the site's Google Analytics cookies. It does not automatically erase measurements already sent to Google.
Email waitlist
If you join the waitlist, we store your email address, the date you joined and the version of the launch-update wording you accepted. We use it only to send news about Torque Diary’s release. Joining does not create an app account. We do not send your email address to Google Analytics or store your IP address in the waitlist database.
Cloudflare stores the waitlist in a separate database and uses Turnstile to check submissions for bots. Turnstile loads when the waitlist form comes into view and may process browser and network information. The waitlist remains until it is no longer needed, or until you ask us to remove your address. To leave the waitlist, email torquediary@gmail.com from the address you joined with. See Cloudflare’s Turnstile privacy notice.
What optional analytics measures
If you accept, Google Analytics 4 helps us understand page visits, engagement, broad traffic sources, device/browser information and clicks on our “See the app” link. Google receives connection information, including your IP address, when your browser contacts its service. We do not send garage records, vehicle details, names, email addresses or user account IDs to Analytics.
We strip query strings and fragments from the page address we send, and send only the referring website's origin, not its full URL. Advertising storage, advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled in our website tag. We do not run advertising or remarketing tags on this website.
In our Analytics property, event-level retention is 2 months and user-level retention is 14 months. Google's setting to reset user retention on new activity is enabled. These settings do not set the lifetime of aggregated reports. Our browser cookie and consent limits are separate, as described below. See Google's data-retention explanation.
Cookies and saved preferences
- torque-diary-analytics-v1: local browser storage remembers your Accept or Decline choice for up to 180 days. It is not a visitor ID and is not sent to our server.
- _ga and _ga_…: optional Google Analytics cookies distinguish browser visits. Our tag sets a maximum lifetime of 180 days without extending it on each visit. You can remove them sooner through Cookie settings or your browser.
Browser settings and blockers may prevent storage or analytics. If your preference cannot be saved, we ask again on a future visit. Without JavaScript, analytics does not run.
Hosting and service providers
Cloudflare hosts and protects this website. It processes the network requests needed to deliver it, including IP addresses and technical request information, regardless of your optional analytics choice. Cloudflare's operational traffic statistics are separate from Google Analytics.
Google processes analytics data when you opt in. Service providers may process information in countries other than yours. See Cloudflare's privacy policy, Google's privacy policy and how Google uses information from partner sites.
Questions or privacy requests
Email torquediary@gmail.com. Please do not send passwords or sensitive vehicle documents. We use messages you send to respond to your request; contacting us is not a mailing-list signup.
