Privacy & terms

The tools remember what you enter — stress-check answers, daily check-ins, gratitude notes, parked worries, habit choices, dreams, and reminder settings — using your browser’s local storage. That storage lives on your device. It is never uploaded, and we could not read it if we wanted to: unstress has no server-side database at all.

A few things worth knowing about how that works:

• Each tool has its own clear or reset button that removes what it stored.
• Clearing this site’s data in your browser removes everything at once.
• It stays within this browser on this device — it does not follow you to other devices, and anyone who can use this browser profile could open it. On a shared computer, consider clearing when you are done.
• If you turn on a daily reminder, it is scheduled by your browser on your device — no server is involved.

If you tap “Send” on a “Was this helpful?” prompt, your message is delivered through a form service run by our host, Netlify. Nothing is ever sent without that explicit tap — sending feedback is entirely voluntary, and that consent is the only legal basis we rely on.

What a submission contains: whether unstress helped, which tools you credited, your comment, and the page you sent it from. No name, no email, no account, no hidden identifiers.

Feedback is read by the founder, used to improve unstress, and deleted once acted on. Please don’t include personal details you wouldn’t want stored along the way.

The site is served by Netlify. Like nearly every host on the internet, Netlify processes visitors’ IP addresses in standard connection and security logs, kept briefly to run the service and protect it from abuse. That is a property of being on the web, not something we add — unstress itself layers no analytics, tracking, or fingerprinting on top.

Crisis and support resources link to external organisations, the About page may link to a tip jar, and the library may contain clearly marked affiliate links — always disclosed on the page whenever present, and never on crisis or help-seeking content. Once you follow a link away from unstress, that site’s own privacy policy applies.

Privacy laws like the GDPR give you rights over personal data an organisation holds about you. unstress is built so that we hold essentially none — your entries never reach us. The one exception is feedback you have sent, which you can ask us to delete at any time.

To reach us — about privacy or anything else — use the feedback form on the About page.

This tool is for education and self-reflection only. It does not diagnose stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, illness, or any medical or mental health condition. If you are concerned about your health or wellbeing, consider speaking with a qualified healthcare professional.

Using unstress does not create a clinician–patient relationship. The scales and tools here are self-reflection aids with honest, non-clinical framing — not measurements, screenings, or treatment.

If you feel at risk of harming yourself or someone else, or if you feel unable to stay safe, contact emergency services or a local crisis line immediately.

Crisis resources are linked at the bottom of every page, always free of any money ask.

unstress is offered free, as-is and as-available, in the hope that it helps. We work carefully — especially on safety-related content — but we cannot promise the site is error-free or always available, and to the fullest extent permitted by law we accept no liability for decisions made on the basis of it. When something important is at stake, please involve a qualified professional.

As unstress grows, this page may be updated — the “last updated” date above always reflects the latest revision, and meaningful changes will be called out here rather than made quietly.
