ShakeTask — Privacy
I'm an indie dev. I make ShakeTask alone (under the name Koirala Studio), and I don't want your data. This page exists because Apple and various privacy laws want one, and because if you're going to install my app you deserve to know what it does.
Short version
ShakeTask doesn't collect anything personal about you. It runs on your iPhone. There's no account. There's no cloud sync. There's no server I run that holds your data. Anything you put into the app stays on your device.
What stays on your device
ShakeTask stores everything you create — your lists, individual tasks, weights and energy tags, commitment-timer history, and your preferences — locally on your iPhone. None of it leaves your device.
Delete the app and that data is gone. iPhone backups (iCloud or local) may include it, but that's Apple's backup, not mine.
What I don't collect
- Your name, email, phone number, address, or any ID.
- Your location.
- Your contacts, photos, calendar, or health data.
- Anything that would let me track you across apps or websites.
I don't sell data to anyone because there's no data to sell.
Permissions ShakeTask asks for
Motion (CoreMotion), so the app can tell when you shake your phone. The motion data is read while the app is open and thrown away immediately — nothing is stored or logged.
Notifications (optional), so the commitment timer can alert you when a focus block ends. Notifications are scheduled locally on your device; no push server is involved.
You can turn any of these off anytime in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security, or in Settings → ShakeTask.
Third-party services
If you subscribe, RevenueCat handles the receipt validation. They get an anonymous ID I generate for the subscription plus what Apple sends them. They never get your name or email from me. Free users never touch RevenueCat at all. Their privacy practices: revenuecat.com/privacy.
What Apple sees on its own
When you download ShakeTask, Apple processes your App Store account, the download itself, and any crash reports you choose to share. That's Apple's deal — see apple.com/legal/privacy. I might see aggregate numbers (total installs, anonymized crash stacks if you opted in), but never anything tied to you personally.
Your rights, briefly
Privacy laws give you the right to know what someone's holding about you, to ask them to fix or delete it, and to complain if they refuse. Email support@koirala.studio and I'll respond within 30 days. (For ShakeTask specifically the answer is almost always "I don't hold any data about you" — but I'll confirm it for you in writing.)
Specifically: this covers your rights under PIPEDA (Canada — Koirala Studio is based in Ontario), Quebec's Law 25, GDPR / UK GDPR, and the CCPA/CPRA in California. If you're not happy with my response, Canadians can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Kids
ShakeTask isn't designed for or directed at kids under 13. If you think a kid sent me personal info, let me know and I'll deal with it.
If this policy changes
I'll update the date at the top and surface a notice in ShakeTask for anything material.
