Privacy notice

Who is responsible

Task Matter is operated by Matthieu Scholler. For privacy questions, access requests, corrections, or deletion requests, email hello@taskmatter.ie.

Website requests and previous early-access data

The optional feature-news form stores your email and a note identifying it as a feature-news request, with submission timestamps and the number of submissions associated with that email. It does not create an account or request an invitation. Previous early-access requests may still contain the use-case note you supplied. Those records are used to respond to your request and understand who the product may help.

For invitations, Task Matter records email submission status and the first time the invitation page contacts the app, to help diagnose access problems. This timestamp is associated with the invitation and retained if the invitation is resent. Automated security scanners can also visit the page, so it is not treated as proof that you read the email. No email-open tracking pixel is used.

The hidden website field in the form is a spam check. A client IP is used temporarily for rate limiting and is also present in short-lived access logs used to protect and operate the site. Landing access logs are configured to roll off after seven days.

Landing request records are kept while they remain useful for handling your request. Historical early-access details may also be retained while those requests are being managed. You can ask for complete deletion at any time by emailing hello@taskmatter.ie with the subject “DELETE”.

Optional feature-news emails

If you subscribe with a landing-page news form, or choose “Keep me posted about new Task Matter features” when creating an account, we use your email to send occasional feature news. This is optional and separate from account creation, any previous access request, essential account emails, and cookie choices. Creating an account and existing early-access requests do not automatically subscribe you. The signup flow offers one unchecked checkbox for both email and Google signup. For email signup, we keep your pending choice with the expiring verification request. You are subscribed only after you choose updates and successfully create a new account.

We store your current subscription choice, when and where it was recorded, and the version of the consent wording. We rely on consent for feature-news emails. You can subscribe or unsubscribe in the app's Support menu, or withdraw consent by emailing hello@taskmatter.ie. You do not need an account to request unsubscribe by email, and unsubscribing does not delete your account or cancel your access request.

We keep your subscription record while you subscribe. After you unsubscribe, we retain a minimal record of your choice to prevent further feature-news emails. Every feature-news email will include instructions for unsubscribing. Neither account signup nor an anonymous landing form resubmission can override a previous unsubscribe. To opt in again, use Support once you have an account.

When an administrator removes an address from feature news, we also record the email, time, removal reason and administrator's user ID. We retain this removal history to document how requests and other removals were handled, including after that administrator's account is deleted. These records are separate from your account data.

Why this processing is permitted

Where a legal basis is required, Task Matter processes registration, account access and previous early-access requests to provide the service and take the steps you ask for, uses limited operational data for the legitimate interests of securing and improving the service and documenting the handling of privacy choices, and relies on your separate consent for feature-news emails and before enabling Google advertising storage. Task Matter may also process data when required to meet a legal obligation.

Analytics and advertising measurement

Task Matter uses a self-hosted Plausible Analytics service for cookieless, aggregated information about visits, such as the page, referrer, browser, device type, and country. This helps evaluate and improve the website without using an analytics cookie.

Google Ads is used to measure advertising performance. Advertising storage, ad user data, ad personalisation, and analytics storage are denied by default. If you accept advertising cookies, Google may set or use cookies for advertising measurement. Clicking Create account or Sign in and submitting the feature-news form do not send the old successful-lead conversion. If you decline, those storage permissions remain denied, although Google Consent Mode may send cookieless measurement signals.

You can change your choice at any time. Declining after a previous acceptance updates Google Consent Mode and removes Google advertising cookies that this site can access.

Registration and account access

You can register with Google or verify your email and set a password. For email registration, Task Matter stores pending verification data and sends an expiring proof to your email address. Opening a link alone does not create an account. Verification and account completion are required, and registration may be paused by the operator.

Account records include your account ID, username, email where supplied, and a password hash if you use a password. Google sign-in uses Google's identity information and a stable Google account identifier to link your login. Google processes that sign-in independently of any choice about advertising cookies on this website.

Verification, invitation and password-recovery proofs expire. Email providers process your address and the account emails needed to deliver them. Task Matter uses request and account security data to limit abuse and protect sign-in. Account records are kept while your account remains active; deletion requests and your rights are described below. Feature-news consent remains separate.

Task Matter product data

Task Matter stores your plan, notes, attachments, and AI threads in your browser first. They are also synced to Task Matter servers so you can recover your work and use it across devices. Task Matter is not end-to-end encrypted today.

When you ask AI for help, the request and relevant Task or Matter context are sent to the selected AI provider. Task Matter does not send your whole account with every request. Settings lets you download your current data and its change log in RDF N-Quads format. Product data is kept while your account remains active. During beta, you can request account and server-side data deletion by emailing hello@taskmatter.ie with the subject “DELETE”.

Service providers and international processing

Data is handled by the infrastructure providers needed to host Task Matter and store its data. Google processes advertising measurement data when its tag is used. Email delivery providers process contact details when Task Matter contacts you. AI providers process the scoped requests you choose to send from the product.

Some providers may process data outside your country. Their service terms and data-protection arrangements govern that processing. Task Matter does not sell your registration, feature-news, early-access or product data.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a data-protection authority. Email hello@taskmatter.ie to make a request. You may be asked for enough information to verify that the request concerns your data.
