Legal & Privacy

Your privacy is our priority. Here's how we handle your data with complete transparency.

1. Information We Collect

Account Data (Premium with Cloud Sync)

• Google Account: Email, username, user ID (for authentication)
• Why: Required for Firebase cloud synchronization
• Stored where: Firebase (Google Cloud)

Task & Content Data

• What: Task titles, descriptions, emotions, categories, tags, priorities, deadlines
• Why: Core app functionality - you can't have a task manager without tasks!
• Stored where: Locally on your device (SQLite database). Premium users: also in Firebase for sync.

Emotion Analysis Data

Usage & Technical Data

• What: OS version, app version, feature usage, crash reports
• Why: Bug fixes, performance optimization, feature improvements
• Anonymous: We don't link this to your personal identity

2. How We Use Your Information

• ✅ Provide the service (store, sync, manage tasks)
• ✅ Authenticate your account (verify Google login)
• ✅ Process subscriptions (verify Premium status via Lemonsqueezy)
• ✅ Send notifications (local reminders set by you)
• ✅ Improve the app (bug fixes from crash reports)
• ❌ NEVER sell your data to third parties
• ❌ NEVER use emotional data for advertising
• ❌ NEVER share task content with anyone without consent

3. Data Storage & Security

Local Storage

Primary data storage is SQLite database on your device. This is under your full control - you own the files.

Cloud Storage (Premium)

• Service: Firebase Firestore (Google Cloud)
• Location: Google's global data centers (primary: US-based)
• Encryption: Data encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest
• What syncs: Tasks, categories, tags, deadlines. NOT emotion analysis results.

Payment Processing

• Processor: Lemonsqueezy (third-party payment service)
• What we store: Subscription status, transaction ID
• What we DON'T store: Credit card numbers, full payment details (handled by Lemonsqueezy)

4. Your Rights (GDPR)

• Right to Access: Request all data we have about you (export feature in-app)
• Right to Deletion: Delete your account and all associated data
• Right to Portability: Export data in JSON/CSV format anytime
• Right to Correction: Edit or update your information
• Right to Object: Opt out of optional data collection (analytics)

5. Data Retention

• Active accounts: Data retained as long as account is active
• After deletion: Account data permanently deleted within 30 days
• Subscription data: Kept for 7 years for tax/legal compliance (through Lemonsqueezy)

6. Third-Party Services

We integrate with:

• Firebase (Google): Authentication, cloud sync, analytics
• Lemonsqueezy: Payment processing and subscription management

Both services have their own privacy policies. Links: Firebase Privacy, Lemonsqueezy Privacy
