Task MeShort version: Task Me has no servers and collects nothing. When you tap send, your phone asks Gmail to email the note from you to you. Your Google sign-in is stored only on your device.
What Task Me is
Task Me is an iOS app that emails notes to yourself using your own Gmail account. It's made by Christopher Sexton ("we"). This policy covers the Task Me app, its share extension, its Siri and Shortcuts action, and this website.
Information from your Google account
When you choose "Sign in with Google", Google asks you to grant Task Me:
- Your email address (
openid,email), so Task Me knows where to send your notes. - Permission to send email on your behalf (
gmail.send), so Task Me can send each note. This permission can't read, search, change, or delete any of your email.
Task Me uses these only to send the notes you write to your own address. It never sends to anyone else, never reads your mail, and never uses your data for advertising, analytics, or training AI models.
Your notes
The text you type or share goes straight from your device to Google's Gmail service over an encrypted connection, and arrives as an email in your inbox. It doesn't pass through, and isn't stored on, any server we run. We don't have one. An unsent draft stays on your device so it isn't lost if you leave the app.
Where your data is stored
- Google sign-in tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain on your device. They're marked "this device only": they aren't synced to iCloud or included in backups. The app and its share extension share them so both can send.
- Settings (your subject prefix and the address you signed in with) are stored on your device.
- Sent notes live in your Gmail account, under Google's privacy policy, like any other email you send.
What we collect
Nothing. Task Me has no accounts, analytics, tracking, advertising, or crash-reporting services, and it shares no data with third parties. This website is a set of static pages. It sets no cookies and runs no scripts; the web host may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses and pages requested.
Google API Services User Data Policy
Task Me's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Removing access and deleting data
- Sign Out in Task Me's Settings revokes Task Me's access at Google and deletes the sign-in from your device.
- You can also remove Task Me at any time from your Google Account's Third-party apps & services page.
- Deleting the app removes its settings and drafts. iOS may keep Keychain items after an app is deleted, so sign out first, or remove access from your Google Account, to make sure the sign-in is revoked.
- Emails Task Me sent are ordinary messages in your Gmail and can be deleted there.
Children
Task Me isn't directed at children under 13 and collects no information from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new effective date.
