1. Information We Do NOT Collect
EisenTasks is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, access, transmit, or store:
- Your task content, descriptions, or any productivity data
- Personal identification information (name, email, address, etc.)
- Files, documents, or other data on your device
- Location data or geographical information
- Contacts, calendar data, or other personal information
- Browsing history or activities outside the application
- Screenshots or visual content from your screen
2. Local Data Storage
2.1 Your Tasks Stay on Your Device
All your task data, including descriptions, priorities, and organization within the Eisenhower Matrix, is stored locally on your device. This information never leaves your computer unless you explicitly export it.
2.2 Application Settings
Your application preferences, including themes, shortcuts, and display settings, are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers.
2.3 Data Backup and Export
You have complete control over your data. You can export your tasks at any time, and we recommend regular backups. When you export data, it remains under your control and is not sent to us.
3. Anonymous Analytics (Optional)
3.1 What We May Collect
To improve EisenTasks, we may collect anonymous, aggregated usage analytics that cannot be linked to you personally:
- Feature usage statistics (which features are used most frequently)
- Application performance metrics (loading times, responsiveness)
- Error reports and crash logs (technical information only)
- Operating system version and hardware specifications
- Application version and update patterns
3.2 What We Don't Include in Analytics
- Any task content, titles, or descriptions
- Personal identifiers or device-specific information
- Exact usage patterns that could identify individuals
- Screenshots or visual data from the application
3.3 Opting Out
Analytics collection is optional and can be disabled in the application settings. The core functionality of EisenTasks works fully without analytics enabled.
4. System Integration and Permissions
4.1 Required Permissions
EisenTasks requires certain system permissions to function properly:
- File System Access: To save and load your task data locally
- System Tray Integration: To provide quick access from your taskbar
- Global Shortcuts: To allow hotkey access from anywhere on your system
- Notification Access: To display task reminders (if enabled)
4.2 Scope of Access
These permissions are used solely for application functionality. We do not access files outside the application's designated data folder or monitor your system activity beyond what's necessary for the app to function.
5. Third-Party Services
5.1 No Third-Party Integrations
EisenTasks does not integrate with third-party services, cloud storage, or external APIs that could access your data. The application operates independently on your device.
5.2 Update Mechanism
Application updates are delivered through standard app store mechanisms or direct download. Update checks may contact our servers but do not transmit any personal data.
6. Data Security
6.1 Local Security
Your data security depends primarily on your device's security measures. We recommend:
- Keeping your operating system updated
- Using device encryption and strong passwords
- Regular backups of your task data
- Restricting physical access to your device
6.2 Application Security
EisenTasks is designed with security best practices, including secure coding standards and regular security reviews. We do not store sensitive data on remote servers, eliminating many common security risks.
7. Children's Privacy
EisenTasks does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information from any users, this protection extends to users of all ages.
8. International Users
Since EisenTasks stores all data locally on your device, there are no international data transfer concerns. Your data remains in your jurisdiction under your control.
