Privacy Policy

Adapted from the Basecamp open-source policies, used under CC BY 4.0.

What we collect and why

We only collect information that we need to provide the service.

Account information

When you create an account we collect your name and email address. We use this to identify your account, send you password resets, and communicate with you about the service.

Task and team data

We store the task lists, items, descriptions, and team information you create inside Ziptask. This data belongs to you — we use it only to provide the service.

Activity data

We log actions taken within your account (such as creating or completing tasks) to power the activity feed feature visible to you and your team.

File attachments

If you upload files or images to task lists or projects, we store them on your behalf. You control what you upload and can delete attachments at any time.

Voice recordings

If you use the speech-to-list feature, your device microphone captures a short audio recording while you speak. That recording is sent over an encrypted connection to OpenAI's Whisper API for transcription and then to OpenAI's API to extract a structured task list. We do not store your audio recording or the raw transcript — both are discarded immediately after the task list is returned to you. This feature is optional and only active when you press the microphone button.

Analytics data

With your consent, we use Google Analytics (GA4) on our marketing site to understand how visitors find and use it. This may include pages visited, time on site, referring sources, browser and device type, and approximate location derived from your IP address. Google Analytics is only loaded after you accept cookies via the banner on our site. If you decline, no analytics data is collected. This data is associated with your browser, not your Ziptask account.

Error and diagnostic data

We use Sentry to collect crash reports and error information. This may include your IP address, browser type, and a session identifier. We use this data solely to identify and fix bugs — it is never used for advertising or profiling.

What we don't collect

We do not collect payment information. We do not run advertising on Ziptask. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for any commercial purpose.

Data retention

Children's privacy

Ziptask is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or by a notice in the app before the changes take effect. Continued use of Ziptask after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
