Privacy
Triedex is a private notebook first and a social app second. Everything you record is yours alone until you decide otherwise, and this page describes exactly what the service holds, why, and how to make it stop.
What is collected
Only what the app needs to work. There is no advertising, no tracking across other sites, and no profile sold or shared with anyone.
- Who you are: your email address and an identifier for your account. If you sign in with Google or Apple, they confirm who you are and Triedex never sees a password. If you sign in with an email address and a password, the password is held only by Triedex's sign-in service, as a salted one-way hash in a database of its own — nobody can read it back, including the person who runs Triedex.
- Your profile: username, display name, a short bio, an optional photo, and the interests you pick.
- Your entries: what you tried, when, your score, your tags, your private notes, and any review you wrote.
- Your photos: each file you upload becomes a display copy and a thumbnail with location and device metadata removed, and the upload itself is deleted as soon as those copies exist. Only the copies are kept, in private storage.
- Your connections: who you follow, who follows you, who you have blocked, and what you liked, saved or commented on.
- Your settings: language, appearance, who may comment, and which notices you want.
What is never collected
Some things are absent by design rather than by policy, which means no future setting can turn them on by accident.
- Precise location. An entry may carry a city and a country; nothing finer exists anywhere in the system. If you use "use my location" to find your city, your device's position is rounded to about a kilometre before it leaves the device, used once to find the nearest city, and not stored.
- Camera-roll contents you did not choose. Imports are drafts you confirm one at a time, and an unconfirmed draft is private.
- Location and device data inside your photos. It is removed from the copies that are kept, and the upload that carried it is deleted once those copies exist.
Who can see what
Your private note is yours in every layer of the system: it is not merely hidden from other people's screens, it is absent from the data any other person's request can reach.
Every entry starts visible only to you. Your account mode is a ceiling on what any entry can reach, and lowering it hides what you shared without deleting it — raising it again restores exactly the same posts to exactly the same people.
Blocking works in both directions, across profiles, feeds, comments and notices.
Photographs
Storage is private. Images are served through short-lived signed links generated for one viewer at a time, and the storage bucket itself is never public.
Suggestions from your photographs
When you add a photograph, Triedex can suggest what it is — a kind, a name, a few words for it — so that saving an entry takes fewer steps. The suggestions come from an image-recognition model and a text-reading pass that run on Triedex's own server, beside the rest of the service. Your photograph is not sent to any outside company or AI service to be analysed.
- While you are still writing an entry, the photograph is looked at and then discarded; nothing about it is kept from that step.
- When you rescue photos from your gallery, the suggestion is worked out from the stored copy and kept with the draft until you make the entry or skip it.
- A suggestion is only ever an offer. Nothing is written to your entry until you press to accept it.
- Your photographs and entries are not used to train that model or any other.
In your browser
The web app keeps your sign-in and a few preferences, such as your language and appearance, in your browser's local storage, and the sign-in service sets the cookies it needs to keep you signed in. There are no advertising or analytics cookies, and nothing that follows you across other sites.
Who runs the parts of it
Triedex runs on rented infrastructure, and the companies that provide it handle your data only so that Triedex can run: the server the service runs on, the private storage that holds your photographs, the email service that sends sign-in and password messages, and — only if you choose them — Google or Apple to confirm who you are. Triedex gives none of them your data for any other purpose.
Logs
Operational logs record identifiers and outcomes so failures can be diagnosed. They deliberately never contain tokens, private notes, review text, signed image links, or location.
How long it is kept
Your content is kept until you delete it or close your account. Closing an account erases it — see the deletion page for exactly what goes and when. What remains afterwards is a record that a deletion was requested and completed, holding an opaque identifier and two timestamps and nothing about you.
Your rights
You can see and change everything about your account from inside the app, and you can delete all of it at any time without asking anyone.
You can download a copy of what you recorded — your profile, entries with their scores, notes, reviews and tags, your lists, follows, likes and comments — from Settings → Your data, as one file. Photographs are not in that file yet; you can save them from each entry, or ask for them at the contact address below.
If you are in a jurisdiction that grants further rights — access, correction, portability, objection — write to the contact address below.
Who is responsible
Triedex is run by Siavash Fazeli, an individual established in Mollet del Vallès, Barcelona, Spain. That person is the data controller for everything described on this page, and the address below reaches them directly rather than a queue.
There is no data protection officer: the service is one person and does not meet the threshold that requires one. Supervisory authority for Spain is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (aepd.es), and you may complain to them, or to the authority where you live, at any time.
Triedex is still a pre-release service. Keep your own copies of anything you would be upset to lose.
