Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 4, 2026

Tycana collects minimal data. We don’t sell, share, or monetize your information.

What We Collect

When you use cloud sync, we store:

  • Email address — for authentication and account communication
  • Tasks — titles, due dates, projects, tags, time estimates, completion status
  • Space memberships — which spaces you belong to and your role
  • Device info — device name and type for multi-device sync
  • Calendar feed tokens — unique URLs for calendar subscriptions

If you only use the free tier, everything stays on your machine. We collect nothing.

We do not collect passwords, analytics, location data, contacts, or use third-party tracking scripts.

How We Use Your Data

Your data is used to provide the service:

  • Tasks are synced across your devices
  • Email is used for magic link authentication
  • Calendar feeds generate ICS data from your scheduled tasks

That’s it. We don’t analyze your tasks, build profiles, or serve ads.

Calendar Feeds

Treat your calendar feed URL like a password — anyone with it can view your scheduled task titles, times, and projects. Feed URLs do not contain your email address. You can regenerate your feed URL at any time to revoke previous access.

Data Storage

  • Location: Cloud data is stored on servers in the United States (hosted on Render)
  • Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Isolation: Each user’s data is isolated; you cannot access another user’s tasks

Data Retention

  • Your data is retained as long as your account is active
  • If you cancel Sync, your cloud data is retained for 30 days, then deleted
  • Local YAML files are always yours and are never affected by account changes

Your Rights

You can:

  • Access your data at any time — tasks are plain YAML files already on your machine
  • Delete your account and cloud data by contacting [email protected]
  • Regenerate calendar feed URLs to revoke access

Third Parties

  • Render — hosting infrastructure
  • Resend — transactional email delivery (magic links only)
  • Cloudflare — website hosting and CDN

We do not share your task data with any third party.

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be communicated via the email on your account.
