Privacy Policy
Version 1.0 (archived) — last updated 16 July 2026
Daylight is a product of Knowli. This page explains what information we collect when you visit this site, why we collect it, and who to contact with questions.
Daylight itself— the journal — isn't live yet, so this policy currently covers only what happens on this pre-launch site. We'll update it before any account or diary features ship.
Joining the waitlist
When you join the Daylight waitlist, we collect the email address you submit and, if you arrived via a shared link, a small set of campaign attribution data: the link's source, medium, and campaign tags, the referring page, the page you landed on, and the time of your first visit. That attribution data is set as a cookie for up to 90 days on your first visit and only stored against your waitlist entry when you submit the form.
We use this to let you know when Daylight launches and to understand which channels are actually bringing people to the waitlist. We don't sell or share this data with third parties for advertising. If you'd like your waitlist entry removed, contact us using the email address below.
Site analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit this site and which pages they view. It sets cookies and collects standard usage data — pages visited, approximate location, and device/browser information. This is used only to improve the site, never for advertising, and it never has access to anything you write in a diary entry.
You can opt out of Google Analytics using your browser's tracking protection or an ad blocker — most already block it by default. See Google's Privacy Policy for how Google itself handles this data.
Looking ahead
Account sign-up and the Daylight journal itself aren't live yet. Once they are, we'll collect additional information needed to run an account — such as device and approximate location, used to help keep your account secure (for example, recognizing a new sign-in) — and your diary entries will be encrypted so that only you can read them. We'll update this policy with the full details before any of that ships.
The app also keeps a small amount of data in your browser's local storage on your own device — things like an in-progress entry that hasn't finished saving yet, and a short-lived cache of writing prompts, so the app doesn't have to re-fetch them constantly. This local data is cleared when you log out.
Your choices
You can block cookies and analytics scripts entirely using your browser's privacy settings or an ad blocker — the site works fine without them. If you've joined the waitlist and want your entry removed, email us at knowlihq@gmail.com and we'll delete it.
Changes to this policy
We'll update the "last updated" date at the top of this page whenever this policy changes, and post a summary of what changed if the update is significant.
