Share rules
When you share a journal from DayBloq, you get a link and a six-character code. Anyone who has either can see the journal’s look and copy it into their own DayBloq. This page is what that means, and the few rules that come with it.
What a link carries
Only the look, and only pieces DayBloq itself ships:
- the cover;
- which page templates, in which order, and how many pages;
- the color of each label;
- DayBloq’s own stickers, with where they sit, their size, angle and how see-through they are;
- a journal name picked from DayBloq’s list.
Nothing you wrote travels. Not your notes, not the days you colored in, not a page title or a label you renamed, no photos and no name of yours. The person who opens the link sees the templates’ own titles and labels, in their own language, and nothing that says who made it. The message you send the link with goes through your chat app, not through us.
A gift is a link like any other, with two more things picked from DayBloq’s own lists: a short note, such as “Happy New Year! Here’s a journal for your 2027.”, and the colors of the wrapping. The person who opens it reads the note in their own language. There is no name of the sender or of the person it is for; say who it is from in the message you send it with.
Guess links
A guess link asks your friends to guess the color of your day. It carries one page’s label colors and, where you kept them, the template’s own label names. Whoever opens it picks a color and a nickname from DayBloq’s list: nobody types anything, you see each nickname with the color it picked but never who is behind it, and the answer stays on your phone. You can turn a guess link off in the app at any time, and the rules below apply to it as to any link.
Creator pages
Some people who make videos about DayBloq have a page of their own at daybloq.com/c/, with their journal and a few words about them that they agreed to with us. It is a journal link like any other: kept out of search, carrying only the journal’s look, and the rules below apply to it too. When we pay a creator or send them something, their page says “Paid partnership”.
Who can see it
Anyone who has the link or the code, and nobody else. There is no search, no list of links and no profile, so nobody finds your journal unless someone hands it to them. The page for a link is kept out of search engines.
Never allowed
Stickers and colors are DayBloq’s own, so there is not much room for harm. Stickers can still be arranged into something they were not drawn for, and that is where these rules apply. A link that breaks them comes down, and a phone that keeps making them stops being able to make links.
- Anything that sexualises, exploits or endangers a child. Zero tolerance. We take it down, bar the phone, keep what the law requires us to keep, and report it to the authorities (including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children) where the law requires or allows.
- Sexual content or nudity of any kind.
- Hate or harassment: attacking people for who they are, threats, bullying.
- Violence or gore, and anything that encourages suicide, self-harm or eating disorders.
- Spam: making links in bulk, or using them to advertise. Each phone can make 20 new links a day, which is plenty for sharing with people you know.
- Pretending to be DayBloq.
If you are having thoughts of hurting yourself, please do not carry them alone. Call your local emergency number, or find a free, confidential helpline in your country at findahelpline.com.
Reporting a link
Every link’s page has Report this journal, and so does the preview in the app before you copy one. Pick what is wrong and send it; we get it by mail straight away. When three different people report the same link, it stops working by itself until we have looked. We read every report, usually within a day and always within two.
It cannot wait? The contact form reaches the same people. If someone is in danger right now, contact your local emergency services first.
When we step in
We take a link down, and it stops working for everyone. A journal someone already copied stays on their phone: it is theirs now. If we got it wrong, say so through the contact form and we will put it back.
Taking your links back
A link keeps working until you remove it or we take it down. Sharing the same journal again gives you the same link. To remove every link you made at once, use the button on the delete your data page; the app’s Sloth Club screen signs you in there. To take down just one, write to us with its code.
The Privacy Policy lists exactly what we store for a link and for how long, and the Terms of Service cover the rest.
