Privacy:
We at ThanxBot have no interest in your data, we don’t collect it, and we don’t process it, and we don’t even know what to do with the nonspecific-to-you usage data that the App Store, where the ThanxBot Gratitude Reminder App is located, and Squarespace, who hosts this website, provide to us (such as the percentage of our viewers who use chrome, or ios, etc.). We would never, ever, ever sell your data even if we had any, which we don’t.
We are simply happy to make this App and occasionally write on this blog, and we hope using the App can help make you happy, too. We are a design business and our goal is to put things out into the world. We don’t take anything in, such as your data.
The only “data” we have on you is if you email us for any reason then obviously that is your choice and we would have your email address, but we are happy to delete that email after we respond to you if you request that we do so.
And though we have links on this website for you to subscribe to our mailing list if you opt in, we have sent no emails thus far. But I will include a link to mailchimp’s privacy policy in case you decide to subscribe. And those (so far non-existent) emails are easy to unsubscribe from.
The ThanxBot App data, such as all your word lists, reminders, stats etc., solely reside on your device and are never seen by anyone else at all. This means that if that data becomes lost you will have to recreate your lists yourself, though on the up side, this would give you the opportunity to reevaluate your current gratitude needs. Apple collects usage data on all its apps.
Our website may include hyperlinks to, and details of, third party websites. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, the privacy policies and practices of third parties.

Cookies:
As far as Cookies go, simply, the only cookies on thanxbot.com are put there by our host, Square Space. Some of these are necessary for site functionality and can’t be rejected, and some are for tracking and analytics. You have the option of rejecting the analytics cookies, at which point Square Space will stop analyzing your usage.
From our previous Cookie Policy page:
Our websites use cookies. A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. We may use both session and persistent cookies on our websites.
