CheckWins is a free weekly habit tracker, published by The Freedom Stable. This page explains what is collected when you use it, who else sees it, and how to opt out.
Your tracker stays in your browser
The behaviours you add, your weekly targets and every tick are saved in this browser’s own storage. They are not sent to us or to anyone else, and there is no account system. Clearing your browser’s site data deletes them.
Two optional features would send something off the page, and both are switched off today:
- Reminder emails. If you turn them on once they are available, we store your email address, the names of the behaviours you gave a time to, which slot each is in, and your timezone, with our email provider (Brevo), so the reminder can reach you at your local time. Not your ticks, goals or history. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing deletes the record.
- Suggestions for goals the page does not recognise. When this is switched on, the goal you type (200 characters at most) is sent to our server and on to Anthropic, whose model suggests behaviours. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that the request comes from a person first. A one-way hash of your IP address is used to limit how many requests can be made in an hour; we do not store the goal or your raw IP address.
What is collected, and by whom
| Service | What it does here | What it collects |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Counts visits and shows which sections people use, so we can tell what works | Pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and how you arrived. Uses cookies. Google signals is switched off. |
| Google AdSense | Shows ads, which is how the site pays for itself | Google and its partners use cookies and similar identifiers to serve ads, including ads based on your visits to this and other sites. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services. |
| Microsoft Clarity | Session recordings and heatmaps, so we can see where the page is confusing | Clicks, scrolling and page layout. The tracker and the reminder form are masked, so a recording never shows the behaviours you typed or your email address. Uses cookies. |
| Cloudflare Web Analytics | A privacy-first visit counter | Page views and performance timings. It sets no cookies and does not track you across sites. |
| Google Fonts | Loads the typefaces | Your browser requests the font files from Google, which receives your IP address. |
| Hostinger (our host) | Serves the page | Standard server logs — IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time — used for security and operations. |
We do not sell your personal information for money. Running third-party ad and analytics tags does, however, count as “sharing” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law, and some other US states treat it the same way. That is what the opt-out below switches off.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information in two ways, and either one is enough:
- Global Privacy Control. If your browser or an extension sends the GPC signal, this site treats it as an opt-out automatically. Google Analytics, Google AdSense and Microsoft Clarity are then never loaded.
- The button below. It stores a single setting in this browser (
cw_optout) so that Google Analytics, Google AdSense and Microsoft Clarity are not loaded on your future visits. It applies to this browser on this device only — clearing site data removes it.
Status in this browser: checking…
To limit ad personalisation across Google’s network generally, use Google’s My Ad Center. You can also opt out of interest-based ads from many companies at optout.aboutads.info.
Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland
If you visit from these regions you will be asked for consent before cookies are used for ads or analytics, through Google’s consent message. Until you choose, ad and analytics storage stays off, and Microsoft Clarity sets no cookies. You can change your choice at any time from the privacy and cookie settings link that the consent message places on the page.
Cookies
CheckWins itself sets no cookies. The cookies on this site come from Google Analytics, Google AdSense and Microsoft Clarity as described above, and they are not set at all when you have opted out.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Your rights and how to reach us
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to have it deleted, to correct it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. Because your tracker never leaves your browser, we hold nothing tied to your name. For anything collected by Google, its own tools at myaccount.google.com are the quickest route. For anything else, write to hello@thefreedomstable.com. We will not treat you differently for exercising any of these rights.
Changes
If what this site collects changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top is updated.
