What is Tarot Diary?
Tarot Diary was inspired by Dr. Ken James’s course A Jungian Perspective on the Tarot, which explores tarot as a tool for self-reflection and personal growth.
The idea is simple: draw a card, reflect on what it means to you, and revisit it as your experiences unfold. Over time, your diary becomes a record of your reflections and your evolving relationship with the cards.
Exploring card meanings
Tarot Diary provides traditional card meanings and reflection prompts as inspiration and a starting point for your own interpretations.
You can customize the card meanings to reflect your own understanding and experience.
Backing up and syncing
Your diary is saved in this browser. Clearing browser data may erase it, and your entries aren’t automatically available on other devices.
Google Sheets (recommended)
Connect Google Sheets to automatically back up and sync your diary across devices. You can view your data directly in the spreadsheet and disconnect at any time without deleting your diary or spreadsheet.
Import and export
You can also export your diary to a file for a manual backup, then import it to restore your entries or transfer them to another device. Import lets you merge with or replace what’s already there.
Privacy
What happens to my data?
You own your data. By default, your diary stays in your browser on your device. Tarot Diary does not receive or store a copy of it on its servers.
If you choose to connect Google Sheets, your browser sends your diary directly to Google Sheets. Your synchronized copy remains in your Google Drive under your Google account.
What happens when I connect Google Sheets?
When you choose Google Sheets synchronization, Tarot Diary asks Google for permission to work with the files it creates. It does not request access to your other Google Drive files.
Your Google Sheet is subject to Google’s terms and privacy policies.
Tarot Diary does not store your diary, personal profile, or other personal information in a server-side database. Tarot Diary temporarily handles the OAuth information needed to establish or refresh the Google connection, but does not persist your diary or Google tokens.
Your Google refresh token is stored in a secure, HttpOnly browser cookie. A short-lived Google access token is kept in your browser session while you use the connection.
Does Tarot Diary track me?
No. Tarot Diary does not use advertising trackers, behavioral or cross-site tracking, Google Analytics, a separate analytics service, or an error-monitoring service.
What happens when I disconnect Google Sheets?
Disconnecting Google Sheets removes Tarot Diary’s Google refresh-token cookie from your browser.
It does not delete the Google Sheet or its contents. If you want to delete that copy of your diary, you can delete the sheet from your Google Drive.
Is Tarot Diary secure?
Tarot Diary takes reasonable measures to protect the application and its connections to Google.
However, no software or online service can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for protecting access to your device, browser, Google account, and exported diary files.

Is Tarot Diary a source of professional advice?
No. The card meanings and reflection prompts provided by Tarot Diary are intended for personal reflection and exploration, not as a substitute for professional advice or guidance.
Can Tarot Diary change or disappear?
Yes. Tarot Diary may be changed, discontinued, or become unavailable at any time.
Because your diary belongs to you and is stored under your control, you should use Export or Google Sheets synchronization to keep your own backup if the data is important to you.
What happens if something goes wrong?
