Privacy

Counting Sheep (farm.dosiancreature.com) is a small stock-take app run by one person for themselves, friends and family. Here's everything it keeps, and where.

Your account

Your username, your password (scrambled with a one-way hash, so nobody can read it back) and when you signed up. Wrong logins are counted to slow down guessing: by internet address for 15 minutes, and against the account until the next right password. Counting Sheep has its own accounts; nothing is shared with any other site.

Your stock

Your mobs, their paddocks and numbers, every change you enter (counts, sheep added, taken off or moved), and your notes with their photos. Photos are shrunk on your phone before they're sent. Only you can see them. Changes made with no signal wait on your phone until they can be sent.

Where it lives

On one server in Oracle Cloud's Sydney region. The web server keeps request logs (including internet addresses) for 14 days. The database is backed up nightly on the same server, keeping the last 3. Nothing is sold or shared, there are no ads or trackers, and the only cookie is the one that keeps you logged in.

Deleting

Ask the site's owner to remove your account and stock here. Taking back an entry removes it straight away; it's gone from the backups within 3 days.
