LifeDash — Privacy

Effective 2026-11-01. Last verified against the app's code: 2026-11-01. This page adds detail to the Responsive Design LLC Privacy Policy.

In short: LifeDash runs on a computer you control. It has no account, no cloud, no analytics and no ads, and sends nothing to Responsive Design LLC. The cards you turn on fetch public data (weather, news, prices…) from their own providers.

What is stored, and where

Everything is stored on the machine that runs LifeDash: data/settings.json (entries, location), data/secrets.json (API keys, plain-text JSON — protected only by your OS account), data/cache/. Each browser stores theme, density, server address and access token in localStorage. Export (JSON/CSV/ICS) and "Reset everything" are built in.

What you may enter

  • location (city/ZIP or device location on request)
  • health trackers (pills, weight, sleep, water, caffeine, habits)
  • finance (bills, mortgage, holdings, RSUs)
  • inventor name (Patents)
  • package tracking numbers
  • API keys for optional providers

Who the app talks to

Only the data sources of the cards you turn on — never a Responsive Design server:

  • Open-Meteo geocoding (geocoding-api.open-meteo.com) — when you search a place: the city / ZIP text you typed
  • Open-Meteo forecast (api.open-meteo.com) — Weather / Sun & Moon cards: latitude/longitude of your chosen place (LifeDash desktop: rounded to 2 decimals ≈ 1 km before sending, and stored at that precision; Mobile: rounded to 4 decimals ≈ 11 m from a coarse device fix)
  • Google News RSS (news.google.com) — News / Sports cards (News is on by default): region edition, your news topics, team names
  • CoinGecko (api.coingecko.com) — Crypto card (on by default): coin ids + currency (your holdings stay local); optional key
  • Finnhub (finnhub.io) / Yahoo Finance (query1.finance.yahoo.com, Mobile only) — Stocks card (off by default): ticker symbols; your Finnhub key
  • USPTO (api.uspto.gov) — Patents card (off by default, needs your key): inventor first/last name and company you enter; your key
  • TheSportsDB (thesportsdb.com), ESPN RSS — Sports card (off by default): team search text / team ids; team badge images are loaded directly by the app
  • wheretheiss.at, Launch Library (ll.thespacedevs.com) — ISS / Launches cards: nothing about you
  • ice.gov / ohss.dhs.gov public spreadsheets — Removals card (desktop, off by default): nothing about you
  • any URL you add (RSS feeds, Quick Links, Connect-anything widgets) — only what you configure: an ordinary request to that address (Connect-anything may include {lat}/{lon}/{zip}/{city} if you put them in the URL)
  • devices on your own network — Home-network card: up/down checks to addresses you list

Each source sees an ordinary request (including the IP address of the device or server making it) and handles it under its own privacy policy.

Analytics, ads, purchases, accounts

None.
