ACCOUNT & PRIVACY
Writing useful notes without storing sensitive information
A note should answer “what will help me act thoughtfully?” It should not become a vault for secrets or a profile someone would find invasive.
Keep notes action-oriented
Good notes include a preferred celebration, a book idea or the purpose of an appointment. They are short, current and understandable without hidden codes.
Exclude secrets and high-risk data
Do not store passwords, authentication codes, card or bank details, identity-document numbers, medical records or confidential workplace information.
Write with the person in mind
Assume a personal note could someday be read aloud. Avoid gossip, judgments and details the person did not expect you to record.
Delete stale context
Gift ideas expire, providers change and relationships evolve. Review notes when a reminder appears and remove anything no longer needed.
COMMON QUESTIONS
A few useful answers.
Can notes store passwords?
No. Use a reputable password manager designed for secrets.
Should I include medical details for appointments?
Keep clinical records in an appropriate health system. A Daytely note can hold a neutral action such as “bring the referral.”
How often should notes be reviewed?
Review them when the date returns and whenever the underlying relationship or practical detail changes.
