Tasky Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 26, 2026

Our Privacy Commitment

Tasky is designed with your privacy as the default. Your tasks stay on your device unless you explicitly choose to share them with others.

Data Collection & Storage

Solo Use — Local Only

When you use Tasky without the Sharing feature:

✅ Your tasks are stored locally on your iPhone only
✅ No account required
✅ No data ever leaves your device
❌ We do NOT store your tasks on our servers
❌ We do NOT track your personal information
❌ We do NOT sell your data to third parties

Your data only leaves your device in these specific cases:

When YOU explicitly export it
If you enable iCloud backup (controlled by iOS, not Tasky)

When you sign in and use the Sharing feature, the following data is stored on Google Firebase servers (Firestore) to enable real-time collaboration:

Shared list data: List names, task titles, descriptions, subtasks, categories, due dates, priorities, and recurrence settings
Completion records: Who completed each task and when, linked to your account
Member information: Your display name, role (owner/editor/viewer), and join timestamp — visible to other members of your shared lists
Account identifiers: A unique Firebase user ID linked to your Apple ID

This data is stored on Google Cloud infrastructure and is governed by Google’s privacy practices.

We do not sell your data to third parties.

Account & Authentication

The Sharing feature requires signing in with Apple. When you sign in:

Apple authenticates your identity and shares a unique identifier with Firebase
Your email address is optional — Apple allows you to use a private relay address
Firebase stores authentication credentials necessary to maintain your session and secure your shared data

Push Notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging)

When you sign in and grant notification permission, a device token is stored in your account record on Firebase. This token allows us to send notifications about activity in your shared lists. No notification content is stored on our servers.

You can revoke notification permission at any time in iOS Settings → Notifications → Tasky.

Third-Party Services

1. Google Firebase (Authentication, Database & Notifications)

Data processed when Sharing is used:

Firebase user ID and authentication tokens
Shared list and task content (see Sharing section above)
Push notification device tokens
Account profile (display name, nicknames)

2. Google AdMob (Advertising)

Purpose: Display ads to support free app development.

3. Firebase Crashlytics (Crash Reporting)

Purpose: Detect and fix app crashes to improve stability.

Data Collected:

Crash logs and stack traces
Device model and OS version
Time of crash
DOES NOT include your task content
When signed in, crash reports are associated with your Firebase user ID so we can investigate account-specific issues

Widgets & App Groups

Tasky uses iOS App Groups to share data between the main app and widgets.

Purpose: Allow widgets to display your tasks
Scope: Data shared ONLY between Tasky app and Tasky widgets on YOUR device
Privacy: No external access — stays on your device

iCloud Backup (iOS System Feature)

If you enable iCloud Backup on your iPhone:

iOS may back up your Tasky local data to your personal iCloud account
This is controlled by iOS settings, not by Tasky
Only YOU can access your iCloud backup
Tasky developers have NO access to your iCloud data

To disable backup for Tasky:

Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage → Backups
Select your device → Show All Apps
Toggle off “Tasky”

Data Export & Deletion

Export Your Local Data

You can export all local data at any time:

Open Tasky
Go to Settings (⚙️)
Tap “Export Data”
Your data downloads as a JSON file

Delete Local Data

To permanently delete all locally stored data, delete the Tasky app from your iPhone. All local data is immediately and permanently erased.

Delete Your Account and Cloud Data

If you have signed in to use Sharing, you can permanently delete your account and all associated cloud data from within the app:

Settings → Account → Delete Account

This action:

Permanently deletes all shared lists you own, including their tasks and completion history
Removes you from any shared lists you joined
Deletes your user profile and push notification token from our servers
Revokes your Apple Sign In authorization with Firebase
Cannot be undone

Account deletion is processed immediately. If you experience any issues, contact us at garmatua@proton.me.

Children’s Privacy

Tasky does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The Sharing feature, which involves cloud data storage, is not intended for children under 13.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

California Residents (CCPA)

Right to know what data is collected
Right to delete your data
Right to opt out of data “sales” (we don’t sell data)

Right to access your data

Solo users: Export or delete your data through the app, or delete the app entirely.

Sharing users: Use the Delete Account option in Settings to permanently remove all cloud data, or contact us at garmatua@proton.me. We will respond within 30 days.

Data Security

iOS encrypts local data automatically when your device is locked
Shared list data in Firebase is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest by Google’s infrastructure
We recommend using a passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID
App Group data is sandboxed from other applications

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Sharing feature after material changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
