Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 28, 2026

In plain language:

Crescendo Intelligence LLC
support@getthingshandled.com

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

Usage Data

We collect data about how you use the Service:

Device and Technical Data

We automatically collect:

On-Device Data (iOS App Only)

The following data is accessed or stored on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless stated otherwise:

Google Integrations (when enabled by you)

Gmail Integration: When you connect your Gmail account, we request permission to read your email and send email on your behalf. We access email subjects, senders, body content, and message metadata for emails you designate for GTD processing. This data is transmitted to and stored on our servers as part of your GTD inbox. We store OAuth authentication tokens securely on our servers to maintain the connection.

Google Calendar Integration: When you connect Google Calendar, we request permission to read and write calendar events. We send event details (title, date, time, description) to Google Calendar when you schedule actions. We store the calendar event ID and link on our servers. OAuth authentication tokens are stored securely on our servers to maintain the connection.

Our use of Google user data is limited to providing and improving user-facing features of the Service. We do not use Google user data for advertising or for any purpose unrelated to providing the Service.

Disconnecting an integration removes our stored tokens and stops further access. You can also revoke access directly in your Google Account security settings.

File Attachments

You may upload file attachments (images, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, and text files, up to 20MB each) to tasks and items. Uploaded files are stored on Vercel Blob Storage, a cloud storage service provided by Vercel Inc. When you submit attachments for AI processing, text is extracted from the file and sent to Anthropic (see "AI and Third-Party Services" below). Files are deleted when you delete the associated item or your account, subject to standard backup retention.
