4. Data Storage and Security

Local Storage

Most of your task data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This means your data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly use features that require server communication.

Security Measures

• Encryption of data in transit using HTTPS/TLS
• Secure storage practices for any server-side data
• Regular security audits and updates
• Access controls and authentication measures
• Compliance with Discord's security requirements

5. Third-Party Services

Discord Integration

Our Discord bot operates on Discord's platform and is subject to Discord's Privacy Policy. When you use our bot:

• Discord may collect and process data according to their privacy policy
• We only access Discord data necessary for bot functionality
• We do not store Discord messages unless they contain task-related commands
• Bot interactions are logged for debugging and improvement purposes

Analytics Services

We may use analytics services to understand how our application is used. These services collect anonymized data and do not identify individual users.

• Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or government regulation
• Safety and Security: To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Local storage data remains on your device until you clear it. Server-side data (if any) is retained for operational purposes and deleted when no longer needed or upon your request, subject to legal requirements.
