Taska – Privacy Policy & Terms of Service

Thank you for choosing Taska. Made by Windmill, LLC (“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. In this privacy policy, we seek to explain to you what information we collect and how we use it.

Hosting Service

For the purposes of this privacy policy, a Hosting Service is the third party service hosting a project or repository associated with the tasks that Taska manages. For example, GitHub or GitLab. Taska sends data associated with your tasks and projects directly to the Hosting Service via the service’s API. Except where noted in this privacy policy (see “Media Attachments” below), Taska does not send any such data to our own servers. This data includes:

Source code repository information
Task metadata such as title and description
Information about other users associated with such tasks
Comments the users make in a task

Media Attachments

When you attach media (such as an image) to a Taska task, we use the Hosting Service’s media upload API if available to host the media, in which case the Hosting Service’s security settings determine who can access such media.

In the absence of a media upload API provided by the Hosting Service, we will host media on our dedicated servers. Once stored on our servers, the media files are anonymized and cannot be linked to any user, task, repository, or project. URLs to media files are randomized and are not accessible by other Taska users or any third party without prior direct access to the URL. We maintain a strict policy of not accessing, viewing, or sharing media unless it becomes imperative for troubleshooting or to provide you with technical support.

Support Interactions

When handling support requests from you, we collect:

Your email address
Any other metadata which may be contained in the email header
Your social media handle (if contacting us through social media)
Any information you provide voluntarily (such as crash logs or other diagnostics)

This information is collected solely to help resolve your support inquiry. We retain support emails indefinitely in order to:

Have context from previous interactions which may help us answer your future questions more quickly and accurately
Identify broad trends in support requests, which may help us identify and solve problems with our products

Usage Analytics

Taska may, by default, collect information about the way you use it. This data is anonymized before it is sent to us, and cannot be used to personally identify you. No personal or confidential data from any of your projects or repositories is or will ever be collected.

As Taska is distributed through the Mac App Store, Apple gathers certain usage analytics on our behalf. This data is anonymized before it is sent to us, and cannot be used to personally identify you. For details about Apple’s analytics policy and how to opt out, please refer to this Apple support document: Share analytics information from your Mac with Apple.

Email List

You may be given an opportunity to sign up for our email newsletter from the Taska app or website. If you decline, no data will be sent. If you accept, the email address you provide will be added to the Taska mailing list.

Our email lists are low volume (only a few messages per year is typical) and are generally limited to announcements of important product updates or significant new product releases.

We do not sell or otherwise disclose any portion of our email list to third parties, with the exception of the vendor that provides our mailing list services as necessary to distribute the emails.
