Information We Collect

No passwords are stored by us. Authentication is handled by Firebase Auth (Google) or via third-party providers depending on your chosen login method.

- Communicate important information about the service
We do not sell your data.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data based on your consent and our legitimate interest in providing the app's core functionality. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
How We Store and Protect Your Information
We use industry-standard security practices to protect your information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and access controls. Data is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore), which provides server-side encryption at rest.
Third-party services used for authentication and storage are required to follow strong data protection practices consistent with GDPR.
Data Sharing
We do not share personal data with third parties except in the following cases:
- When required for authentication (Firebase Auth, Google)
- When required by law or legal process
- When necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of our users or service
We never sell personal information to advertisers or data brokers.
AI Features and Data
Pro users can access AI-powered features. When these features are used, a summary of relevant task data (not full account details) may be sent to OpenAI's API to generate a response. This data is not used to train AI models under our API agreement. See our AI & Data transparency page for full details.
Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as you maintain an account. If you delete your account, we remove your personal information and task data within a reasonable period unless we are required to retain it by law.

Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Request a copy of your data (data portability)
- Object to certain types of data processing
