Terms and Conditions

1. App Overview

YapTask is a personal, voice-first task list for iOS. You can create, update, complete, delete, and organize lists, tasks, and subtasks by typing commands, speaking short voice commands, or using direct task-list controls. YapTask uses trusted backend services for realtime sync, server-side voice transcription, assistant command interpretation, validated task-list operations, command summaries, and immediate undo/redo.

2. User Data and Privacy

2.1 Data Collection and Use

YapTask requires certain personal information for authentication and service provision:

• Authentication: During beta, the app uses Sign in with Apple. Account information is used to verify your identity and connect app data to your account.
• Task data: Lists, tasks, subtasks, task status, ordering, command history, assistant summaries, operation logs, and timeline recovery data are stored through Convex so the app can function and synchronize.
• Voice commands: If you use voice, YapTask records a short command and sends it through trusted backend code to Groq Whisper for server-side transcription. YapTask-owned app and backend storage does not keep raw audio recordings after the transcription request. Typed commands remain available.
• Diagnostics and support: YapTask may collect privacy-bounded usage events, crash/error diagnostics, TestFlight feedback, and support-contact information to operate, improve, and support the app.

2.2 Data Security

We use security measures designed to protect information transmitted to and stored by YapTask and its providers. Absolute security cannot be guaranteed, and users are responsible for maintaining control of their Apple account and device access.

2.3 Data Retention and Deletion

User data is retained while the account is active and as needed to provide app functionality, security, diagnostics, support, and legal compliance. You can delete your account from the app. Account deletion removes YapTask-owned account, task, list, command, timeline, usage, and support data associated with your account, subject to legal or operational retention requirements.
