Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 16, 2026
Important: App vs Website
PrimeTask Desktop App: Collects ZERO data by default. 100% offline. All your tasks, projects, and personal information stay on YOUR device. We have no servers, no sync, no tracking. Optional features (like stock photos) require your explicit consent.
This Website: Only collects data if you choose to join the Beta Program. Normal visitors browsing this site = no personal data collected.
This policy explains what data we collect on this website (not the desktop app), why we collect it, and your rights. The PrimeTask desktop application is completely offline and never transmits any data.

Public Feedback Forms
We may share public feedback forms (surveys, polls) that anyone can respond to without creating an account. Here's what we collect and why:

How Your Data Is Used:
- •Aggregated results: When enabled by the form creator, anonymous result summaries (e.g. vote counts, average ratings) may be displayed to other respondents. Individual responses are never identified
- •Data retention: Survey responses are retained for as long as the feedback form exists. IP addresses are automatically purged after 90 days
Your rights: If you provided your email address, you can request deletion of your responses at any time by contacting privacy@primetask.app. Fully anonymous responses (no email, no name) cannot be traced back to any individual and are treated as anonymized data.
