The Time Samurai

Privacy Policy

Effective November 9, 2026

Who we are

The Time Samurai is a personal weekend planner at thetimesamurai.com, operated by Sylvain Cossette in Québec, Canada. Sylvain Cossette is the person in charge of personal information. You can reach him at inquiries@thetimesamurai.com.

What we collect

When you create an account, we store your name, email address, and a hash of your password. We do not store the password itself. You can also set a timezone. If you sign in with Google or link a Google account, we store Google’s identifier for that account and the verified email Google provides. We only ask Google for the openid, email and profile scopes.

When you use the planner, we store what you enter: weekends, tasks, projects, shopping lists, templates, questionnaire answers and notes, notification settings, and in-app notifications. If you turn on push notifications, we store a subscription for your browser so we can deliver them.

We use a session cookie to keep you signed in, and an optional “remember me” cookie if you choose it. Session records may include your IP address and browser type. If you ask for a password reset, we store a short-lived reset token that expires after 60 minutes.

Our host may also keep standard server logs, such as your IP address and the pages you request, for security and operations.

We do not use advertising or analytics trackers on this site.

Why we use it

We use this information only to run the planner: to sign you in, save your weekends and settings, send the emails you request (such as a password reset), and, if you opt in, send the notifications you scheduled. We do not sell your information or share it for advertising.

Who helps us

The site is hosted by Hostinger, which also sends email for us. If you use Google sign-in, Google processes that sign-in. If you enable push notifications, your browser’s push service delivers them.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and planner data until you delete your account. Session data expires after a period of inactivity (two hours by default, or longer if you chose “remember me”). Password-reset tokens expire after 60 minutes.

Your rights

You can see and edit your name, email, password, timezone and Google link on the Account page, and you can see your planner data in the app. You can permanently delete your account and all of your planner data from the Account page. If you signed in only with Google, set a password there first, then delete the account.

Under Québec’s Law 25 (the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector) and Canada’s PIPEDA, you may also request access to or correction of your personal information, and you may withdraw consent where the law allows. For a request you cannot complete in the app, including a formal access, correction or deletion request, write to inquiries@thetimesamurai.com.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date.
