Privacy
Your words are yours.
This policy explains what we hold, why we hold it, and how to have it removed. It is written to be read, not to protect us from you.
Last updated: November 2026.
What we collect
This website collects as little as it can. There are three kinds of information you can choose to give us:
- Reflections you submit. The title, the writing, the optional display name, the optional category, and an optional image you attach.
- Messages you send us. Your name, email address, the topic you select, and your message.
- An administrator account. If you are one of the people who review submissions, an account with an email address is created for you.
We do not ask for your date of birth, your address, your phone number, or anything about your health. We do not run advertising or behavioural tracking on this site.
How submissions are handled
A reflection you submit is stored privately and is visible only to the person who moderates the journal. It is never published automatically. If it is approved, the title, the writing, the display name you chose, the category and the image (if you attached one) become visible publicly on this website.
If you leave the display name blank, the reflection is published as “Anonymous”. If a submission is not approved, it remains private.
Images
Images you attach to a reflection are hosted at a permanent public address. That means anyone who has the direct link could open the image, even before publication. Please only attach images you are comfortable sharing, and avoid photographs of other people or anything that identifies your home or location.
How long we keep things
Submissions and messages are kept until they have been reviewed and are no longer needed. You can ask us to delete your submission or message at any time, whether or not it was published, by writing to hello@tajallithoughts.com. We will remove it and confirm when it is done.
Cookies and third parties
This website does not set advertising or analytics cookies. The only cookie-like storage used is what is required to keep an administrator signed in to the moderation area.
Videos in Watch & Reflect are played from YouTube through its privacy-enhanced embed, which does not set tracking cookies until you press play. Once you play a video, YouTube’s own privacy policy applies to that viewing.
The journaling app
The Tajalli Thoughts app is a separate product with its own account system. Personal journal entries written in the app are not stored on this website, are not connected to your submission here, and are never shown to visitors of this site. Private entries stay private.
Your rights
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask for a copy, ask for a correction, or ask us to delete it. Write to us and we will respond as soon as we can. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you are welcome to escalate to the data protection authority where you live.
Children
This site is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has submitted something, tell us and we will remove it.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects you, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where it is significant, note the change on the site.

Questions about any of this can go to hello@tajallithoughts.com. A person will read it.
