Your writing.

Last updated 5 October 2026

Page a Day Studio is a private place to write. This is what happens to your words there, in plain terms. It sits alongside our Terms and Privacy Policy.

No AI

Page a Day has no AI features and uses no AI service. Nothing you write in the Studio, or anywhere on Page a Day, is read by, analysed by, or used to train an AI model, ours or anyone else's. We don't sell, license or hand your writing to anyone who would.

Some browsers and extensions bring writing assistants of their own: Grammarly, LanguageTool, a browser's AI writing suggestions. Those are yours, not ours, and they work under their makers' terms. The Studio asks them to stay out of your pages unless you allow them (in a manuscript, Settings in the menu). Spelling underlines are your browser's own check: most work on your computer, but some browsers send what you type to their maker to check it (Chrome's “enhanced spell check”, Microsoft Editor in Edge). You can turn the underlines off there too.

You keep every right

What you write is yours. Keeping it here gives us only the permission we need to store it, show it to you, and show the chapters you send to the early readers you invite. We take no right to publish, adapt, or use your writing for anything else, and none of it becomes ours.

Who can see it

• You. Your manuscripts, board, marks, story bible, goals and snapshots are visible only when you're signed in. The names the story bible finds in your pages, and every scene each one appears in, are worked out in your own browser: your text isn't sent anywhere to be read.
• Early readers you invite. Only the chapters you send them, as they stood when you sent them, opened at the pace you choose. They never see your draft, your board, your notes, or anything you haven't sent, and you can take back a chapter or a reader at any time. Their notes to you are seen by you alone.
• Page a Day. We don't read manuscripts. Our support tools can't open the Studio: while staff are helping anyone in a browser, the Studio is closed there. As with any service that stores what you write, the people who run our database could reach it; they don't, except where it's needed to keep the service working, or where the law requires it.
• Nobody else. Manuscripts aren't public, aren't listed, and aren't indexed by search engines.

Bringing a file in

A Word file or PDF you bring in is read in your own browser, on your device. The file itself is never uploaded: only the text you choose to bring in is saved, privately, as your manuscript.

Where it's kept

Your writing is sent over encrypted connections and stored in our database, with Neon; the Studio runs on Render. To make sure a word is never lost, your browser keeps unsaved changes on your device until they reach us. Emails about your early readers never quote your book.

Your writing days and reminders

To show your run, the Studio keeps which days you wrote (how many words you typed, not what they were), the days you don't write, the days you mark off, and your time zone. If you ask for a writing reminder, it comes by email (sent through Mailjet) or as a notification on a device you allowed (a device allowed for notifications gets your club alerts too), at about the hour you chose, only on a day you write and haven't yet. With no device left to take a notification, it comes by email instead. It names your book inside the email, never in a subject line or a notification, and never quotes it. Turn it off in the Studio, or from the link in any reminder.

Leaving

Export a standard manuscript (Word or plain text) whenever you like. Move a manuscript to the trash and delete it forever, and it's gone from our database with its snapshots, its board and the copies your early readers had. Closing your account does the same for every manuscript you have. Our database provider keeps short-lived backups for recovery; a deleted manuscript leaves those as they expire, within days.
