Privacy Policy

Introduction

Today in Years ("the App") is developed by Ron Canfield. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information when you use it on your Synology NAS, iOS device, or Android device.

I built the App with privacy as a core principle. It was designed from the ground up with a privacy-first architecture: it operates entirely on your own hardware and local network.

Information Collected

The App does not collect any personal information.

Specifically, the App does not collect, store, or transmit:

• Personal identification information (name, email, etc.)
• Photos or photo metadata
• Usage or analytics data
• Device identifiers or advertising IDs
• Location data
• Cookies or tracking technologies
• Any data to external servers or third parties

How the App Works

Today in Years connects directly to your personal Synology NAS on your local network. All communication happens between your device and your NAS. No data passes through any external servers or third-party infrastructure.

• Authentication: You log in using your existing Synology DSM credentials. These credentials are sent directly to your NAS and are never shared with me or any third party.
• Photo Access: The App has read-only access to your Synology Photos library. It cannot modify, move, or delete any of your photos.
• Data Storage: Any cached data (such as thumbnail images for faster loading) is stored locally on your NAS or your device. No data is stored on external servers.
• License Validation: The App may contact an external service solely to validate your license key. No personal data or photo data is transmitted during this process.

Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The only external communication is license key validation, which transmits only the license key itself. No personal or usage data.

Data Security

Because your data never leaves your local network, its security is governed by the protections you have in place on your Synology NAS and home network. I recommend:

• Keeping your DSM software up to date
• Using strong passwords for your Synology accounts
• Enabling HTTPS on your NAS if accessing it outside your local network

Children's Privacy

The App does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Because no data is collected or transmitted, the App is compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar regulations.

Your Rights

Since the App does not collect or store any personal data, there is no personal data to access, correct, delete, or port. All your data remains entirely under your control on your own hardware.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
