Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 12, 2026

Eisenhower Matrix ("the App") is a free task management application with an optional one-time Pro upgrade. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data the App handles, how it is stored, and when (if ever) it leaves your device.

The App is made by an independent developer based in Ireland ("we", "us"), who is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.

1. Data We Collect

The App stores the following data locally on your device:

The App does not collect your name, email address, location, contacts, photos, or any other personal information.

2. How Your Data Is Stored

All data is stored locally on your device using on-device storage. No data is sent to any server by default. The App works entirely offline.

Android's own device backup (Google One / Android Backup) may copy the App's local data, including your tasks, to your Google account, so they come back when you set up a new phone. That backup is run by Google under your account settings, not by us, and we cannot see it. You can turn it off in your phone's Settings under Google > Backup.

3. Optional Backup Feature

The App includes an optional Backup & Sync feature that is off by default. If you choose to enable it, you manually enter a server URL of your choosing. When you tap Backup Now, or on the schedule you pick if you turn on Automatic Backups (a Pro feature), the following data is sent to that URL. Automatic backups run in the background, even when the App is closed, until you turn them off:

Local snapshots (Pro). If you choose a backup folder on your device, the App saves a copy of your tasks and labels into that folder automatically when they change, keeping recent days. If you pick a folder that syncs to a cloud service (for example Google Drive), that service will receive those files under its own terms.

You control where your data goes. The App does not provide, operate, or have access to any backup server. The App only accepts https:// server addresses, so backups are encrypted on the way to your server. You can disable or remove the backup URL at any time in Settings.

4. In-App Purchase

Eisenhower Matrix Pro is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Google Play. Google processes the payment under its own privacy policy; the App never sees your payment details. The App only asks Google Play whether this Google account owns Pro, so it can unlock Pro features and restore them after a reinstall. No purchase information is sent anywhere else.

From time to time the App may ask whether you would like to rate it. The rating window is shown by Google Play; we only see the public rating and review you choose to post.

5. Third-Party Services

The App does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, tracking, or crash-reporting services.

6. Permissions

The App may request the following device permissions:

The App does not record audio and does not have microphone permission. If you tap the microphone button when adding a task, the App opens your phone's own speech recognition service (on most Android phones, Google's). That service listens and passes only the recognised text back to the App, which treats it like typed text. The App never receives or stores any audio. Depending on your phone, the speech service may work on the device or send the audio to its provider, under that provider's privacy policy.

The App does not use the camera, location, contacts, or any other sensitive device sensors.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, rent, or share your data with any third party. Data only leaves your device through features you turn on or use: the backup feature (including automatic backups, if you enable them), local snapshots to a folder you choose, and export or share. A shared task link contains that task's title, description, quadrant and due date. It opens a page hosted on GitHub Pages, so GitHub receives the link when the person you sent it to opens it.

If you email us, we keep your email address and message only to answer you and to fix problems you report, and we delete them on request.

8. Data Retention & Deletion

9. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

10. Your Rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, to object to or restrict its use, and to receive a copy of it. Because your tasks never reach us, in practice this applies to emails you have sent us. Write to the address below and we will reply within one month.

The App processes your tasks on your device to provide the service you asked for. We handle support emails because we have a legitimate interest in answering you and improving the App.

You can also complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie) or the data protection authority where you live.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date, and important changes will also be mentioned in the App's release notes.
