Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Avklare collects, how we use it, and your choices. We've tried to keep it plain and short — this is a small, independent product, not a data-hungry conglomerate.

1. What We Collect

Account information: email address, display name, password (stored as a secure hash — we never see or store your actual password).

Task data: the tasks, categories, stages, due dates, and notes you create in your workspace.

Usage data: basic technical logs (IP address, timestamps, error logs) used for debugging, security, and rate-limiting abuse.

Invitation data: if you invite someone to your workspace or invite a friend to try Avklare, we store their email address and the invitation status.

We do not collect payment information directly — if/when paid plans launch, billing will be handled by a dedicated payment processor (e.g., Stripe), and we won't store your card details ourselves.

2. How We Use It

• To operate the Service — creating your account, saving your tasks, showing you your workspace.
• To send transactional emails (invitations, account-related notices) via our email provider, Brevo.
• To power optional AI features (Workspace Insights, Smart Task Placement, Daily Inspiration) — when you use these, relevant task data is sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, solely to generate your response. It is not used to train their models on our understanding of their commercial API terms.
• To maintain security and prevent abuse (rate limiting, audit logs).
• To improve the product based on aggregate, anonymized usage patterns.

3. What We Don't Do

• We don't sell your data.
• We don't share your task content with anyone outside your invited workspace.
• We don't use your data for advertising or show you ads.
• We don't share your information with third parties except the service providers listed below, who process it strictly on our behalf.

4. Third-Party Services We Use

Each of these providers has their own privacy practices governing how they handle data on our behalf.

5. Data Retention

• Your account and task data are retained as long as your account is active.
• If you delete your account, we'll remove your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is needed for legal, security, or audit purposes (e.g., abuse prevention logs).
• If you're part of a shared workspace with other members, deleting your account removes your personal information (email, name, login credentials) from our systems, but tasks and activity you created may remain visible to your workspace's other members — attributed to a generic "Deleted User" rather than your name — so their shared history and data aren't disrupted. If you're the sole member of your workspace, deleting your account removes your data entirely.
• During beta, we may reset or wipe the database as part of active development. We'll try to give notice when this is planned.

6. Your Choices

• You can update or correct your account information at any time in Settings.
• You can request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.
• You can decline to use AI-powered features — they're entirely optional.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data (password hashing, encrypted connections, access controls). No system is perfectly secure, and — especially during beta — we can't guarantee against all possible incidents. See our Terms of Service for more on this.

8. Children's Privacy

Avklare is not directed at children under 18. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy, as well as our Terms of Service, as the Service evolves. We'll update the "Last updated" date above and notify as best reasonably possible. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
