1. Introduction

Clawmark is a local-first desktop task management application. By default, all your data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers. If you choose to subscribe to our cloud sync service, your task data is transmitted to and stored on our servers to enable multi-device synchronization. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data in each scenario.

2. Information We Collect

2.1. Desktop Application (No Account)

If you use Clawmark without signing up for cloud sync, we do not collect any personal data. All your tasks, workspaces, and settings remain stored locally on your device. The desktop application does not phone home, track usage, or send analytics.

2.2. Website Visitors

When you visit the clawmark.io website, we collect minimal analytics data using a privacy-focused, cookie-free analytics service. This includes:

• Page views and referring URLs — to understand how visitors find our website.
• Browser type and operating system — to ensure compatibility.
• Country-level location — derived from IP address, which is not stored.

No personally identifiable information is collected from website visitors who do not create an account.

2.3. Cloud Sync Subscribers

If you create an account and subscribe to our cloud sync service, we collect:

• Account information: Name and email address — provided during registration via our authentication provider.
• Task data: Your tasks, workspaces, and related content — transmitted and stored on our servers to enable synchronization across your devices.
• Payment information: Billing details are processed by our payment provider (Creem). We store a customer identifier to link your subscription to your account, but we do not store your credit card details.
• Device information: Basic device identifiers used to manage sync connections.

3. How We Use Your Information

3.1. Providing the Cloud Sync Service

Your task data is stored on our servers solely to provide synchronization across your devices. We do not analyze, mine, or use your task content for any other purpose.

3.2. Account Management

Your email address is used to manage your account, communicate important service updates, and process subscription billing.

3.3. Website Analytics

Anonymized website analytics help us understand how visitors find and use our website so we can improve it.

3.4. Communication

We may send you emails related to your account, subscription status, or important service changes. We will not send marketing emails without your explicit consent.

4. Data Security Measures

The security of your data is a top priority. We implement robust security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit, access controls, and secure infrastructure provided by our hosting partners.

Cloud sync data is stored in the EU region (eu-west-1) to comply with European data protection standards.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate our platform. We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Data shared with these providers is limited to what is necessary for their function:

• WorkOS — authentication and account management.
• Convex — backend database and cloud sync infrastructure (EU region).
• Creem — payment processing for subscriptions.

All third-party services we use are GDPR-compliant. For details, see our GDPR page.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The clawmark.io website uses minimal cookies required for authentication when you are signed in. We use a cookie-free analytics service for website statistics. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking.

The Clawmark desktop application does not use cookies or tracking technologies.

7. Data Retention

• Cloud sync data is retained for as long as your subscription is active. After your subscription expires or is canceled, your data is retained for a grace period (see our Terms of Use) before being permanently deleted.
• Account information is retained until you request account deletion.
• Website analytics data is anonymized and does not contain personal information.
