Privacy Policy

1Overview

Taskat ("Taskat", "we", "us", or "our") provides a productivity application, including a mobile app, that helps people track tasks, log events, follow up on projects, and share events with other users (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices and rights available to you.

By creating an account or using Taskat, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2Information we collect

We collect information in three ways: what you give us directly, what we collect automatically as you use the app, and what we receive from other users when they interact with you.

You control how much task and event detail you enter. Fields like notes and attachments are optional.

3How we use your information

• To operate core features: task tracking, event logging, follow-up reminders and project organization.
• To let you share specific tasks, events, or project timelines with other Taskat users you choose.
• To send reminders and notifications about due tasks, upcoming events, and follow-ups you've opted into.
• To show ads in the app through Google AdMob, and to measure and improve ad performance (see Section 5).
• To maintain, secure, and improve the Service, including diagnosing bugs and preventing abuse.
• To communicate with you about your account, updates to this policy, or support requests.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use the content of your private tasks or events to serve third-party advertising. Ads shown in the app are based on device identifiers and ad interaction data handled by Google AdMob, not on what you write in your tasks, notes or events.

4Sharing events & data with other users

Taskat's sharing features are opt-in and granular. Tasks and logged events are private by default and are only visible to other users when you explicitly share them.

• When you share an event or task with another user, that person can see the content you've chosen to share (e.g. title, date, notes) and, depending on your settings, your name and profile photo.
• When you're added to a shared project, you can see the tasks and events shared within that project by its members.
• You can revoke access to a previously shared task, event, or project at any time from within the app.
• Apart from the advertising partners described in Section 5, we do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We may share limited information with service providers who help us operate Taskat (for example, cloud hosting, push notification delivery, advertising, or customer support tools), under contracts that limit their use of your data to providing those services.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights and safety of Taskat, our users, or the public, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

5Advertising & Google AdMob

The Taskat mobile app displays ads served by Google AdMob, an advertising service provided by Google LLC (or Google Ireland Limited for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland). AdMob is a third-party service: when an ad is requested and shown, AdMob and its partners may collect and use certain information from your device as described below and in Google's own policies.

Information AdMob may collect

• Advertising identifier: the Google Advertising ID on Android or the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) on iOS.
• Device and app information: device model, operating system and version, app name and version, language, and screen size.
• Network and location information: IP address and the approximate location that can be derived from it.
• Ad activity: ads requested, shown and tapped, and related diagnostic and performance data.
• Cookies and similar technologies: AdMob may use cookies, SDK identifiers or similar technologies to serve ads, limit how often you see the same ad, detect fraud, and measure results.

We do not share the content of your tasks, events, notes, projects or attachments with Google AdMob.

How this information is used

Google and its partners use this information to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud and abuse, and, where permitted and where you have not opted out, to show personalized ads based on your interests and past activity. Without personalization, ads are based on more general information such as the app you are using and your approximate location. For details on how Google uses data from apps that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Your choices

• Android: open Settings > Privacy > Ads (the path varies by device) to opt out of ads personalization or to delete your advertising ID.
• iOS: open Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking and turn off tracking for Taskat, or for all apps. Taskat asks for your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before using your IDFA for tracking.
• Google ads settings: manage or turn off personalized ads for your Google account at myadcenter.google.com.
• Industry opt-outs: you can also use the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out (US) or Your Online Choices (EU).
• Resetting your identifier: you can reset your advertising ID at any time in your device settings.

Opting out does not remove ads from the app. It means the ads you see will be less relevant to you.

Users in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Where required by law, we ask for your consent through a consent message (based on Google's User Messaging Platform and the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework) before AdMob uses your device identifiers for personalized ads or stores information on your device. Our legal basis for this processing is your consent. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from the privacy options in the app's settings, or by clearing the app's data and responding to the message again.

Users in the United States

We do not sell your personal information for money. Under some US state privacy laws (such as California), sharing advertising identifiers with an advertising partner for personalized ads may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising or “targeted advertising.” You can opt out using the choices above or by contacting us. We honor opt-out preference signals where the law requires.

Children

Taskat is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly show personalized ads to anyone under the age of 13 (or the minimum age in your region). Where we know that a user is a child, we request child-directed or non-personalized ad treatment from Google AdMob.

6Data retention

We retain your account, task, and event data for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete a task, event, or your account, we remove it from active systems within a reasonable period, though residual copies may remain in backups for a limited time before being purged.

7Security

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so while we work hard to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights:

• Update or correct your profile and preferences directly in the app.
• Adjust sharing permissions for individual tasks, events, or projects at any time.
• Turn off optional data collection, such as location access, from your device settings.
• Opt out of personalized ads or reset your advertising ID, as described in Section 5.
• Request a copy of your data or deletion of your account by contacting us.

9Cookies & tracking

Our website uses essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember basic preferences, and limited analytics cookies to help us understand how the site is used. The mobile app does not use browser cookies but may use similar device identifiers for analytics, crash reporting and advertising. Advertising identifiers and cookies used by Google AdMob are described in Section 5. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

10Children's privacy

Taskat is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your region), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly. See Section 5 for how we handle advertising for users who may be minors.

11International data transfers

Taskat and our service providers, including Google, may process and store information on servers located outside your country of residence. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect information transferred internationally.

12Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by email before the changes take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
