Goals & Progress
Privacy statement
This page explains which personal data I process when you use goalsandprogress.com, the Life Goals App or my emails. It also says why, and who else receives the data.
1. Who is responsible
Ramon Landes, trading as Goals & Progress, Spitzengeerstrasse 11, 8606 Nänikon, Switzerland. Email: support@goalsandprogress.com.
2. What I process and why
Visiting the website
My web host keeps server logs with your IP address, your browser and the pages you open, for up to 30 days. Plausible and Ahrefs Web Analytics count visits without cookies, and I only see totals. The speed service BerqWP delivers pages and images and measures how fast they load. Legal basis: my legitimate interest in a safe website that works.
Newsletter and free downloads
When you sign up, Kit stores your email address, the form you used and, after a quiz, your result. You confirm by email first, and every email has an unsubscribe link. Google reCAPTCHA checks sign-ups for spam. I keep your address until you unsubscribe. Legal basis: your consent, and for the spam check my legitimate interest.
Buying
Gumroad sells my products as merchant of record. It processes your name, email, country and payment, and Stripe handles card payments for Gumroad. I receive the order details and keep them for 10 years, as Swiss law requires. Legal basis: the contract and my legal duty to keep business records.
The Life Goals App
Your plan stays in your browser on your device, and I cannot see it. If you connect Dropbox, the app saves a copy in a folder of your own Dropbox, which I cannot see either. To check your licence, the app sends your licence code and the product id to Gumroad. It does this when you enter the code and about once a week after that. The app sends nothing from your plan. The app also counts anonymous events with Plausible, such as opening the demo, never your content. Legal basis: the contract, and for the event counts my legitimate interest.
Feedback and testimonials
If you send feedback through Senja, Senja stores what you enter. I publish a testimonial only if you allow it on the form, and I keep it until you withdraw that consent. Legal basis: your consent.
Emails to me
When you write to me, I keep your message as long as I need it to answer you. Legal basis: my legitimate interest in answering you.
3. Cookies and storage in your browser
When you open a page, the website stores a few items in your browser:
- your cookie choice and the accessibility settings you pick;
- a random id and a spam check for the sign-up forms;
- a random id the speed service uses to measure loading times;
- counters the website builder uses to decide when to show a box;
- a setting that shows you the same sidebar offer for 7 days, and where you stopped reading an article;
- the answers you type into a free tool.
The app keeps your plan and settings in your browser, so it also works offline. The analytics set no cookies.
You can change your cookie choice with the cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. You can also delete all these items in your browser settings. The tools and the app then lose what they stored, so save your plan first.

For Singapore, I rely on the standard contractual clauses. Switzerland and the EU recognise the data protection of Israel and the UK as adequate.
I do not sell your data and do not use it for advertising. No service on this site tracks you across other websites for advertising, so the site does not respond to Do Not Track signals.
5. Your rights
You can ask me which data I hold about you, and have it corrected or deleted. You can object to processing based on my legitimate interest, withdraw your consent at any time, and get your data in a common file format. Write to support@goalsandprogress.com. Your plan in the app is not with me: you change or delete it yourself, in the app or in your browser.
You do not have to give me any data, but without an email address I cannot send you emails. You can also complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (edoeb.admin.ch). In the EU and the UK, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live.
6. Changes
When what I do with your data changes, I update this page and the date at the top.
