No Excuses Challenges

Privacy Policy

Draft for review. This is a plain-English outline, not final legal text. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer yet and may change. Draft date: October 30, 2026.

This page explains, in plain English, what this site collects, why, who can see it, and how to ask for it to be removed.

Who runs this site

No Excuses Challenges is run by No Excuses Jesse for members of the Metabolic Reset with Jesse Facebook group. It is free to use.

What we collect

We only collect what the app needs to run your account and your challenges.

Account: your name, email, and password. The password is stored as a one-way hash, not as plain text.
Profile: a short bio and a profile photo, if you add them.
Challenge activity: the challenges you join, your check-ins and notes, badges and streaks, and walk choices.
Photos: check-in photos, walk proof photos, group photos, and photos you send in chat.
Chat and groups: messages you send in the general room, in a group, or in a private message, plus any reports or blocks you make.
Sugar Smart entries, if you join that challenge: the answers and daily entries you choose to add, such as added sugar, meals, sleep, movement, ratings, symptoms, and glucose readings or targets. Only add what you are comfortable sharing.
Sign-in and safety data: a cookie that keeps you signed in, and your IP address, which is used to limit repeated sign-in, sign-up, reset, and chat attempts.

How we use it

To create your account and keep you signed in.
To show your progress, badges, and streaks.
To run chat and member-hosted groups.
To send a password reset link when you ask for one.
To keep the community safe, for example by reviewing reports.

Who can see what

Photos are stored privately. They are shown only to people who are signed in, not on public pages.
Chat messages are seen by the people in that room, group, or private conversation.
Your name and profile can be seen by other signed-in members.
Admins can see account and challenge information so they can run challenges and handle reports.

Services we rely on

The app runs on a hosting provider (Railway), stores photos and files in a private storage bucket, and may use an email service (Resend) to send password reset links. These services handle data only to run the app.

The Metabolic Reset with Jesse Facebook group is separate from this site. Facebook's own policies apply there.

Amazon affiliate links

Some challenge pages link to products on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. These links are marked as sponsored. When you follow one, Amazon's own privacy notice applies on Amazon's site.

Buy Me a Coffee

The “Buy Jesse a mile” button is a plain link to Jesse’s Buy Me a Coffee page on buymeacoffee.com. The site loads nothing from Buy Me a Coffee, so they receive your IP address and browser information only if you click the button and visit their site. Payments are handled by Buy Me a Coffee under its own privacy policy.

You can change your name, bio, and photo on your profile page.
You can block other members and report messages. Admins can remove messages.
