Our approach is data minimization. We only collect and store data that is absolutely necessary for providing the functionality and financing of our app. We do not store any personal data such as your name, email address, or IP address.
Depending on how you use our app and the consents you provide, we process the following categories of data:
The texts you enter into the app to create task plans are sent to our servers to generate an AI‑powered response.
These requests are processed completely anonymously and without any link to your person or device.
– Purpose: Processing your request to generate a response.
– Legal Basis (for EU/EEA): Performance of a contract (Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR).
When you use a feature of the app that requires a connection to our servers (e.g., fetching content or generating a guide), technical data such as the timestamp and the status of the request are processed temporarily to execute the request. This data is anonymous and is not stored permanently.
To offer our app for free, we use advertising networks like Google AdMob. These networks collect device‑related identifiers
(e.g., Advertising ID) and data about your interaction with the app and advertisements. Depending on the laws of your region
and your consent, this data may be used for personalized advertising.
– Purpose: Financing the app through advertising.
– Legal Basis (for EU/EEA): Your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR).
We process general technical data such as device type and operating system version to ensure compatibility and analyze errors.
This data is aggregated and not used to identify individual users.
– Purpose: Ensuring stability and improving the app.
– Legal Basis (for EU/EEA): Our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).
We only share your data with third parties when it is necessary for the operation of the app. Our main service providers are:
The transfer of data to countries outside the EU/EEA, such as the USA, is based on adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses of the EU Commission to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
You generally have the rights to access, rectification, erasure, and restriction of processing. However, since we do not store any personal data that directly identifies you, exercising these rights regarding our server data is not directly possible. You can manage your rights concerning data collected by advertising networks directly in the app settings under 'Change Privacy Settings'.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to adapt it to changed legal or operational requirements. We recommend that you regularly check this page for changes.
