The BeTask operator (the "Operator," "we," or "us") sets out in this Privacy Policy how it handles the personal information and data of users of the app "BeTask" (the "App"). This Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and to whom it may be disclosed when you use the App.
1. Operator Information
- Service name: BeTask
- Contact: betasksupport@gmail.com
(For a business operator relying on a specific legal basis, contact details are provided when the relevant feature is made available.)
2. Information We Collect
We collect and store the following information.
2.1 Account and Authentication
- Information obtained through Sign in with Apple: name, email address (which may include a relay address forwarded via Apple's private email service), and the identifier issued by Apple.
- Authentication information via passkey (WebAuthn). The authentication data itself is managed on your device and in your Apple iCloud Keychain, and the Operator does not directly hold it.
- User identifiers and session information managed by the authentication infrastructure (Supabase).
2.2 Profile Information
- Display name, username, avatar image, self-introduction, date of birth, and account public/private settings.
- The date of birth is collected to confirm age eligibility and is not disclosed to other users.
2.3 Activity
- Records of focus sessions (time, color, categories, etc.), tasks and categories, daily cards, and "notes" statuses and memos.
- Content in project features, such as shared tasks, comments, and chat messages.
2.4 Social and Interaction
- Follow/follower relationships, follow requests, likes, comments, direct messages (DMs), blocks, and notifications.
2.5 Images
- Images you post, such as avatars and project chat images. These are stored in cloud storage.
2.6 Device and Technical Information
- Information you send when contacting support.
- The App uses third-party analysis tools, crash reports, and push notification (SDK) services, and therefore may collect data for behavior tracking and notification-delivery purposes.
3. Information Made Available to Other Users
The App is a social app, and the following information is made available to other users.
- Profile information: display name, username, avatar image, self-introduction, and elapsed days since account creation.
- Content shown in the current session status and feed (cards, "notes," etc.), and statistics such as focus time.
- Likes, comments, follow relationships, and other social interactions.
If you set your account to private, the display of your task names to followers is restricted, and follows require your approval. However, private settings do not guarantee complete confidentiality.
DMs and notifications are, in principle, visible only to the parties involved. Date of birth is not disclosed to other users.
4. Purposes of Use
- To provide, authenticate, and manage accounts for the App.
- To provide features such as activity records, task management, feeds, follows, comments, and DMs.
- To compute and display statistics (consecutive days, focus time, etc.).
- To respond to inquiries, prevent misuse, and improve the App.
- Where a paid supporter feature is provided, to deliver that feature and its benefits.
5. Disclosure to Third Parties and Subprocessors
In principle, we do not sell users' personal information to third parties. The following information is disclosed to third parties that we entrust to process it as necessary to operate the App, or based on your explicit consent.
- Supabase: authentication, database, storage, and real-time communication infrastructure. Used to store and manage user data. The data storage region is Tokyo (Japan).
- Apple: Sign in with Apple, iCloud Keychain (passkeys), and push-related activity.
- Google (Firebase): push notification delivery.
These subprocessors process data in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
6. Cross-border Transfer of Data
The data of the App may be processed by servers of subprocessors (which may include locations outside Japan). Users are deemed to consent to any resulting cross-border transfer to the extent necessary to use the App.
7. Data Retention Period
- Data such as focus records, cards, comments, notes, and DMs are retained while the user's account exists, or until the Operator deletes them.
- The current session status (used for real-time display) is overwritten as needed to reflect the latest state.
8. Deletion of Data and Account
Users may request deletion of their own account and related data.
- Where an in-app account deletion feature is provided, deletion is performed through that feature.
- Where the in-app deletion feature is unavailable, please contact betasksupport@gmail.com, and the Operator will carry out the deletion.
Upon account deletion, related data such as profile, tasks, records, cards, comments, notes, DMs, blocks, and posted images is deleted. However, for information subject to statutory retention obligations, or for some content already shared with other users, data may be retained for a certain period even after deletion.
9. Users' Rights
In accordance with applicable law, users have the right to request disclosure, correction, deletion, suspension of use, or restriction of processing of their own personal information. For such requests, please contact betasksupport@gmail.com.
10. Use by Minors
The App is intended for users aged 13 or older. Those under 13 may not use the App. We confirm the date of birth at onboarding and do not permit registration by anyone determined to be under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn that we have collected information about someone under 13, we will delete it promptly.
11. Security
To protect users' information, we implement reasonable security measures, such as authentication infrastructure and access controls. However, we cannot guarantee complete security over communications and storage conducted via the internet.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may change this Policy as necessary. For material changes, we will notify users within the App or by other appropriate means. If a user uses the App after a change, they are deemed to have agreed to the changed Policy.
