Privacy
A simple explanation of what this site stores and why.
Sighing is meant to feel like a focused reading environment, not a data-hungry platform. This page describes the current site behavior as of March 22, 2026.
What is stored in your browser?
Sighing currently stores reading progress and private reflections in your browser's local storage on this device. That includes the last chapter you opened, your chapter progress percentage, and any reflections you save while reading.
Where do reflections live?
Without an account, reflections are stored only in the browser where you write them. If you sign in, Sighing can sync progress and reflections to the account-linked storage layer used by the platform.
What technical data may be processed to run the site?
Like most websites, the hosting and infrastructure layer may process standard technical request data such as IP address, browser details, timestamps, and requested pages so the site can be served securely and kept reliable.
What the site does not currently require
As of March 22, 2026, Sighing does not require a reader account in order to read published chapters. Accounts are optional and intended to support syncing rather than gate basic reading.
How this may change later
If Sighing later expands accounts, newsletters, payments, or other platform features, this page should be updated in plain language before those systems become part of the product.
Your Choice
If you do not want Sighing to remember your place or your reflections on a device, you can clear your browser's local storage. The stories should still remain readable, but convenience features tied to saved progress and notes will no longer be available.
