Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 15, 2025
Our Commitment to Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains our information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is handled in the application. All data you create is stored locally on your device or in your personal iCloud account.
Information We Do Not Collect
This application does not collect, transmit, distribute, or sell your data. We do not gather any personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, location, or contacts. The application also does not use any third-party analytics or advertising frameworks.
What this means for you:
- No tracking or monitoring of your activity
- No data sent to external servers
- No advertisements or analytics
- Complete privacy and control over your information
iCloud Sync
You may optionally choose to sync your data across devices using Apple's iCloud service. This service is governed by Apple's own privacy policy. We, the developers, have no access to the data you store in your private iCloud container.
Important: When you enable iCloud sync:
- Your data is encrypted and stored in your personal iCloud account
- Only you have access to this data through your Apple ID
- The app developers cannot view, access, or retrieve your iCloud data
- You can disable iCloud sync at any time in your device settings
Your Data Rights (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, PIPEDA)
Privacy regulations in the US (CCPA/CPRA), Canada (PIPEDA), and Europe (GDPR) provide users with rights over their data. Since your data resides solely on your device and in your personal iCloud, you have complete control:
- ✏️ Right to Access & Edit: You can access, edit, and modify your data at any time directly within the app. All your tasks, notes, and categories are immediately available to you.
- 🗑️ Right to Delete: You can delete individual items or all your data at any time as all your app data is in your own local device or your personal iCloud.
- 📦 Right to Data Portability: You can export your data through the Backup & Restore feature in Preferences.
- 🔒 No Third-Party Access: No data is stored on our servers, so there is nothing for us to access, share, or sell. Your data remains entirely under your control.
Calendar Integration
When you enable calendar integration, the app requests permission to access your device's calendar. This access allows the app to:
- Display your existing calendar events within the app
- Create new calendar events when you add tasks
- Sync changes between tasks and calendar events
Your calendar data:
- Remains stored in your device's native Calendar app
- Is not uploaded to any external servers by our app
- Is governed by Apple's privacy policies for Calendar data
- Can be revoked at any time in Settings → Checked! → Calendars
Photos and Attachments
When you attach photos to tasks, the app requests permission to access your photo library. These photos:
- Are stored locally with your tasks
- Sync to your iCloud account if iCloud sync is enabled
- Are never uploaded to third-party servers
- Remain under your complete control
- Are deleted when you delete the associated task
Notifications
If you enable notifications for task reminders:
- Notifications are generated locally on your device
- No data is sent to external notification services
- You can disable notifications at any time in Settings → Checked! → Notifications
Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. Since this application does not collect or transmit any personal data, it is safe for users of all ages. However, if you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us at hxcellentinc@gmail.com so we can take appropriate action.
Data Security
We take data security seriously:
- Local Storage: All data is stored securely on your device using iOS's secure storage mechanisms
- iCloud Encryption: When using iCloud sync, your data is encrypted in transit and at rest
- No Cloud Servers: We do not operate any cloud servers that store your data
- Apple's Security: We rely on Apple's industry-leading security practices for iOS and iCloud
Third-Party Services
This application does not integrate with any third-party services for analytics, advertising, or data collection. The only external service used is Apple's iCloud, which is optional and controlled entirely by you.
Services NOT used by this app:
- Google Analytics or similar analytics platforms
- Facebook SDK or social media integrations
- Advertising networks
- Crash reporting services that send data externally
- Any other third-party data collection tools

- Posted within the application

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
