Privacy Policy

SkyCatsTask is an Android task-management application developed by SkyCatsLab. This Privacy Policy explains how SkyCatsTask handles information when you use the application.

1. Offline-first design

SkyCatsTask is designed as an offline-first application.

Your normal task data is stored locally on your device. This includes information such as task titles, descriptions, projects, dates, priorities, reminders, repeat rules, people or contact details that you enter into tasks, places, links, completed tasks, Trash items, change history and application preferences.

SkyCatsLab does not operate a SkyCatsTask account system or a SkyCatsLab cloud database that automatically receives and stores your normal task database.

2. AI Helper and OpenAI

AI Helper is optional. SkyCatsTask can be used without enabling AI Helper.

If you choose to use AI Helper, you provide your own OpenAI API key. The key is encrypted using Android Keystore and stored in the application's no-backup area on your device. The full key is not included in SkyCatsTask portable .sctbackup files.

When you use AI Helper, information needed to process your request is sent directly from your device to OpenAI using your API key. Depending on the action, this can include:

• your spoken or typed command;
• the transcription of a voice command;
• relevant fields from the task you are editing, such as title, description, people, place, links, area, project, priority, dates, reminder and repeat rule;
• limited metadata about candidate tasks or projects when SkyCatsTask needs to identify the task referred to by your command.

SkyCatsTask sends these requests directly to OpenAI. SkyCatsLab does not operate an intermediary AI server that receives or stores these AI requests.

OpenAI processes data under its own terms and privacy practices. Do not use AI Helper for information that you do not want to transmit to OpenAI.

3. Microphone

SkyCatsTask requests microphone access only for voice use of AI Helper.

When you start a voice AI command, microphone audio is captured while the voice interaction is active and is streamed directly to OpenAI's realtime transcription service over an encrypted network connection. SkyCatsTask does not create a permanent local recording of that microphone audio as part of this feature, and SkyCatsLab does not receive a copy of the audio on a SkyCatsLab server.

You can use the rest of SkyCatsTask without granting microphone permission.

4. Notifications and reminders

SkyCatsTask can request notification permission so that task reminders can be shown by Android.

Reminder scheduling and notification display are handled on the device. SkyCatsLab does not receive the contents of your reminders in order to deliver these local notifications.

5. Portable backup and restore

SkyCatsTask can create a portable .sctbackup file at your request.

A portable backup can contain tasks, projects, Trash data, change history and supported non-secret application settings. Passwords, the OpenAI API key and other application secrets are not included.

You choose where the backup file is saved. If you choose to share a backup through another application or storage provider, that transfer is initiated by you and is then subject to the privacy practices of the application or service you selected.

SkyCatsTask also uses Android's platform backup/transfer mechanisms for supported non-secret application settings. The task database is excluded from Android cloud backup. Android device-to-device migration may preserve normal application state according to the Android platform's transfer behavior.

6. Import from 2Do CSV

If you choose to import a 2Do CSV file, SkyCatsTask reads the file selected by you and processes it locally to create tasks and projects.

SkyCatsLab does not receive the selected CSV file through a SkyCatsLab server.

7. External links, maps and sharing

Tasks may contain web links and place information. When you choose to open a link, open a place in a map application, or share a backup, Android may hand the selected information to another application or service.

Those external applications and services operate under their own privacy policies.

8. Internet access

SkyCatsTask uses Internet access for optional AI Helper features, including OpenAI API-key validation, voice transcription and task-command processing.

Normal local task management does not require a SkyCatsLab account or continuous connection to a SkyCatsLab server.

9. Analytics, advertising and tracking

SkyCatsTask does not include advertising SDKs, Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics or third-party behavioral analytics/tracking SDKs in the current application build.

SkyCatsLab does not sell SkyCatsTask task data.

10. Data retention and deletion

Your local SkyCatsTask data remains on your device until you edit or delete it, restore another backup, clear the application's data, or uninstall the application, subject to any Android platform backup or device-transfer behavior that may apply.

Because SkyCatsLab does not keep a server-side copy of your normal SkyCatsTask database, SkyCatsLab cannot remotely delete or recover that local database for you.

Data transmitted to OpenAI through AI Helper is handled according to OpenAI's applicable terms, policies and account settings.

11. Security

SkyCatsTask uses Android platform security features for local application storage.

The OpenAI API key is encrypted using Android Keystore and stored in the application's no-backup area. Network requests to OpenAI use encrypted HTTPS or secure WebSocket connections.

No mobile application can provide the same isolation as a server-side secret store. If you enable AI Helper, SkyCatsLab recommends using a separate OpenAI API key with an appropriate spending limit and revoking or replacing the key if you believe it has been exposed.

12. Children

SkyCatsTask is a general-purpose productivity application and is not specifically designed for children.

SkyCatsLab does not knowingly operate a service that collects children's task data into a SkyCatsLab account or cloud database through SkyCatsTask.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when SkyCatsTask features or data-handling practices change. The current version should be published on the official SkyCatsLab website with its effective date.
