Privacy Policy

for Ekhart Work software

Effective Date: June 11, 2026

Ekhart Work [Gibson Dev] ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application, desktop application, website, or any related services (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Introduction and Our Commitment

Ekhart Work prioritizes user privacy as a core principle. We design our Services with minimal data collection in mind and implement strong safeguards to protect any information you provide. Ekhart Work [Gibson Dev] will never share any personal information, app analytical data, metrics, crash reports, usage statistics, or any other data with any other company, third-party service, advertiser, or partner. We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise monetize user data.

This policy applies to all users of the Services, regardless of location. We comply with applicable data protection laws, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where relevant, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other regional requirements.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information strictly necessary for the Services to function effectively and to provide you with a high-quality experience. Categories include:

• Account Information: If you create an account, we may collect your email address, username, and a hashed password (or equivalent secure credential). We do not require real names or other identifying details unless you voluntarily provide them.

• Usage Data (Limited): Basic operational data such as app version, device type (e.g., operating system), and session timestamps may be collected locally or processed anonymously on-device where possible. We do not collect detailed behavioral analytics, tracking pixels, or cross-app tracking.

• User-Generated Content: Any notes, tasks, projects, files, or other content you create or upload within the Services. This data remains under your control.

• Technical Data: Error logs or crash reports (processed only to improve stability) are handled internally and never transmitted externally.

• Communication Data: If you contact support, we collect the information you voluntarily provide in those communications.

We do not collect:

• Precise geolocation data

• Biometric data

• Financial information (beyond payment processor handling for any subscriptions)

• Browsing history outside our Services

• Data from your contacts, photos, or other apps unless you explicitly grant permission for a specific integration

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information solely for the following purposes:

• To provide, maintain, and improve the core functionality of Ekhart Work [Gibson Dev] (e.g., syncing your data across your devices if you enable it, processing tasks, or generating insights within the app).

• To authenticate users and secure your account.

• To respond to support requests and communicate important updates.

• To debug issues and enhance performance (all internally).

• For legal compliance or to protect our rights (e.g., fraud prevention).

All processing is based on legitimate interests, contractual necessity, or your explicit consent where required. We do not use data for advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

4. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not share your personal information or any app data with any third parties.

• No Third-Party Sharing: No data is shared with analytics companies, advertising networks, data brokers, or business partners.

• Service Providers: In limited cases, we may use internal tools or highly trusted, privacy-focused infrastructure providers (e.g., self-hosted or encrypted cloud storage under strict data processing agreements that prohibit any further use or sharing). Even in these cases, data remains fully under our control and is minimized.

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information only if required by law (e.g., valid court order or subpoena), and we will attempt to notify you where permitted.

• Business Transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user data would remain subject to this Privacy Policy or an equivalent protective policy.

5. Data Storage and Security

• Storage: Data is stored securely with encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. We prefer on-device or user-controlled storage where feasible.

• Retention: We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined or as required by law. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

• Security Measures: We implement industry-standard safeguards including access controls, regular security audits, secure coding practices, and monitoring for breaches. However, no system is 100% secure, and we encourage strong, unique passwords and two-factor authentication where available.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your data:

• Access, Correction, Deletion: Request a copy of your data, corrections, or complete deletion (subject to legal obligations).

• Opt-Out: You may disable optional features (e.g., cloud sync) that involve any data transmission.

• Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.

• Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

• Withdrawal of Consent: Withdraw any previously given consent.

To exercise these rights, contact us at the details below. We respond to verified requests promptly, typically within 30 days.

For California residents or others with enhanced rights, we provide additional notices upon request (no discrimination for exercising rights).

7. Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we learn that we have collected such data, we will delete it promptly. Parents/guardians should contact us if they believe their child has provided information.

8. International Data Transfers

If you are located outside the United States (our primary base), your data may be processed in the US or other jurisdictions. We ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses or equivalent) are in place where required.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of material changes via the Services or email (if provided) and update the effective date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

10. Contact Us
