Save My Audition · In the Room
Privacy policy
The short version
Your journal is yours. We don't sell it, share it, or use it to train anything.
We keep what you write, your email address, and nothing you didn't give us.
You can export everything, and you can delete your account and all of it, whenever you like.
One person (Aaron) can technically see the data. He doesn't read journals, except when you ask for help with yours.
The rest of this page is the same thing, said carefully.
Who we are
In the Room is an audition journal made by Aaron Jodoin LLC, trading as Save My Audition, of PO Box 197, Westport, NY 12993. When this page says "we," that's us.
This policy covers the In the Room journal only: the journal page on savemyaudition.com and the iPhone app. The rest of the Save My Audition website (classes, bookings, the blog) has its own privacy notice, and that one still applies there.
Questions, requests, complaints: contact@savemyaudition.com.
What we collect
Your account. Your email address. A name if you give one. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your email address and name from them, and nothing else.
What you write in your journal. Auditions and everything you record about them: dates, shows, companies and theatres, roles, the songs, monologues or sides you did, what you wore, who was in the room, contact details you save, your notes, how it felt, and what came of it. Later, photos you attach.
Your settings. Whether you want reminder emails, whether you asked for our newsletter, and whether your account is free or paid.
How much you use it. The journal keeps one small record about your account: when you joined, when you last opened it, how many entries you have, and whether you've tried a few of its features. Counts and dates only, never what's in an entry. It's how we tell whether the journal is being used during the pilot, and only Aaron's own sign-in can read it.
Basic technical records. Our service providers keep ordinary logs: an IP address, a device type, times of requests. We don't build profiles from them.
We don't collect your location, your contacts, your photos beyond ones you deliberately attach, or anything from other apps. There are no advertising trackers anywhere in the journal.
Why we keep it
To run the journal: to sign you in, save your entries, sync them between your phone and your computer, and show you your own patterns.
To support you when you write to us.
To keep the service working and safe: backups, fixing faults, preventing abuse.
To send you the emails you asked for, and only those. Sign-in links and anything you switched on. You can turn reminder emails and the newsletter off at any time.
If we ever charge for a paid plan, to take and manage that payment.
Legally, we rely on our contract with you for running the journal, your consent for optional emails, and our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure. Where the GDPR applies, that's what those words mean.
Names of other people in your journal
An audition journal records other people: casting directors, music directors, readers, pianists. That's the point of it, and it's the same thing actors have kept in notebooks for a century.
Those entries are private to you. We don't publish them, share them, sell them, or combine them across accounts to build any kind of directory.
Please keep what you write factual and professional; it's your record, and you're responsible for what goes in it.
If you are someone named in an actor's private journal and you have a concern, write to us at contact@savemyaudition.com and we'll deal with it properly.
Who else touches it
We use a small number of companies to run the service. They process data on our instructions and may not use it for their own purposes.
Google (Firebase) stores your account and your journal, and handles sign-in. Servers in the United States.
Squarespace hosts savemyaudition.com.
Cloudflare delivers the journal's code to your browser and, later, will carry the payment notifications.
An email provider sends sign-in links and reminders.
Stripe, if and when a paid plan exists, takes the payment. Card details go to Stripe, never to us: we never see or store a card number.
Apple, for the iPhone app, handles downloads and any in-app purchase.
We don't sell personal data, and we don't share it for advertising. We'd only hand anything over if the law required it, and we'd tell you unless we were forbidden to.
Who can see your journal
No other user can. Entries are locked to your account by rules enforced on Google's servers, not by our app being polite.
Aaron, as the owner, can technically open the database. He doesn't read people's journals. The times he would look at your entries are: you've asked for help with a problem, or we're investigating abuse or a legal demand.
We don't read journals to build features, write blog posts, or train any AI system. If we ever want to publish a statistic, it would be from anonymous totals, and we'd say so here first.
How long we keep it
Your journal stays until you delete it. That's the point of a journal.
Delete your account and we remove your entries from our live systems straight away, and from encrypted backups within 30 days.
If you just stop using it, we'll email you before removing a dormant account, and never without warning.
Ordinary technical logs age out within about 60 days.
Your rights
Take it with you. Export your whole journal, any time, from the Account page.
Delete it. One button removes your account and everything in it.
See it, correct it, object to it. Write to us and we'll help. Depending on where you live (the EU, the UK, California and others), you may have formal rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or port your data, and to complain to a regulator. We honour those requests wherever you live.
We never charge for these, and we don't treat you differently for asking.
Cookies and what's stored on your device
The journal stores a sign-in token so you stay signed in, a copy of your entries so it works without signal, and small preferences like which tab you had open.
That's all essential to the thing working. There are no advertising or tracking cookies in the journal.
The wider savemyaudition.com site runs on Squarespace, which sets its own cookies; the site's own privacy notice covers those.
Security
Traffic is encrypted in transit. Data sits on Google's infrastructure, encrypted at rest.
Sign-in uses an emailed link or Google or Apple, so we never hold a password of yours.
Access to the live database is limited to Aaron, on accounts protected by two-factor authentication.
No system is perfect. If a breach ever affected your data, we'd tell you and the relevant regulator promptly.
Age
In the Room is for people aged 13 and up. If you're under 18, please get a parent or guardian's permission first.
We don't knowingly collect anything from children under 13. If we learn we have, we'll delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we'll email account holders before it takes effect, and note the date at the top.
Old versions are available on request.
