taskrPrivacy policy
In short: we don't collect your data. taskr has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your group's lists, tasks, people, pictures and money records live on your own devices. When they sync between your devices, they're end-to-end encrypted, so nobody else, including us, can read them.
What stays on your devices
Everything you put in taskr: your group and its people (names, initials, pictures), lists, tasks, schedules, and money records (allowances, goals, amounts). It's stored on each device in your group and nowhere else in readable form.
How syncing works
- Directly between your devices. Devices in a group connect to each other, on your Wi-Fi or over the internet, and exchange changes encrypted with keys only your group's devices have.
- Through a relay when needed. To make that connection when devices are on different networks, it may pass through a relay server (run by number 0, the makers of the iroh networking library taskr uses). Relays only pass encrypted traffic along and can't read it; like any server on the internet, they see your device's IP address.
- Our mailbox, for devices that are away. So a device that was off catches up later, changes are also left at our server (taskr-sync.snoapps.com), sealed with your group's key. The server can't open them. It keeps: the sealed changes, a random address for your group's mailbox, and a scrambled (hashed) access token. A mailbox no device has used for 90 days is deleted with everything in it.
Notifications
To let your devices know when something changes, the mailbox keeps each device's Apple push token and sends a silent push through Apple's push notification service (it carries no content). taskr shows notifications such as "Morning started" from the data on your device. Turn notifications off at any time in Settings.
Permissions
- Camera: only to scan the code when adding a device to your group. Nothing is recorded or stored.
- Photos: only the picture you choose for a person, which stays in your group.
- Local network: to find and sync with your group's devices on the same Wi-Fi.
- Notifications: as above.
What we don't do
We don't sell or share data, show ads, use analytics or tracking, build profiles, or keep logs of who uses taskr. The mailbox server doesn't record IP addresses.
Children
taskr is for households, and everyone in one may use it. Because we don't collect personal information from anyone, we don't collect it from children. A person's name and picture in your group stay on your group's devices.
Deleting your data
Delete taskr from a device and that device's copy of your group is gone. To stop a device syncing with your group, remove it in Menu › Devices. Your group's sealed mailbox on our server is deleted automatically after 90 days without use.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its date. Important changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
