A private journal for the long Canadian winter.

Canada's privacy regime has two layers most journal users will care about: PIPEDA federally, and Quebec's Law 25, which is the stricter of the two and has been phasing in obligations around consent, portability, and breach reporting. Both frame their duties around organisations that collect, use, or disclose personal information. The Eternal Journal's entries are encrypted in your browser and never transmitted, so there is no collection to consent to, no disclosure to report, and no portability request to service beyond the export button already in the file.

For clinicians in Ontario or British Columbia asking about provincial health-information rules: the journal is not a clinical record system and we do not position it as one. It is a personal, single-user, offline file. A therapist keeping reflective notes in it retains full custody; a client using it between sessions holds the only key. Our clinical pages go into this properly.

Bilingual writing works the way it should. Type in English, in French, or switch mid-sentence — the file stores Unicode, has no built-in autocorrect, and any browser or OS spellcheck can be turned off in settings. Accents and ligatures survive the round trip through encryption unchanged.

It needs no signal, which matters more here than in most countries. A cabin north of anywhere, a flight between provinces, a streetcar going through a dead zone: once the file is on disk, connectivity is beside the point.

Checkout is in US dollars through Paddle, which converts to Canadian dollars at the card-network rate and handles GST/HST as merchant of record. The total is shown before you confirm.
