1. Scope and operator
This Privacy Policy applies to the Argon task-management application, its web experience, desktop and mobile applications, and related services (collectively, “Argon”). Argon is operated by Nathan Varano.
By using Argon, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy. If you use Argon through an organisation, that organisation may have its own policies governing information it controls.
2. Information Argon handles
Account and profile information
If you create an account, Argon processes your email address, authentication identifiers, display name, profile image, and sign-in provider. If you sign in with Google or Apple, Argon receives the basic account information that provider makes available. Argon does not receive your Google or Apple password.
Workspace content
Argon stores the content you choose to create or import, including todos, notes, projects, areas, tags, deadlines, recurring schedules, events, app settings, and images attached to todos or your profile.
Calendar and import data
If you enable a calendar integration, Argon may process event titles, calendar names and colours, event identifiers, start and end times, all-day status, and source-account information. If you import data from another task or reminder service, the imported content becomes part of your Argon workspace.
If you connect Linear, Argon may process the selected issue titles, descriptions, identifiers, URLs, status, due dates, teams, projects, labels, and connected-workspace account information. Linear access is read-only and is used to create and update linked Argon todos.
Technical information
Argon stores authentication sessions and app preferences on your device. Infrastructure providers may process standard service logs such as IP address, browser or device type, request time, and error details to operate and secure the service. Argon does not currently include third-party advertising or behavioural-advertising SDKs.
Local-only workspaces
If you choose to continue locally without an account, workspace content is stored on your device rather than in Argon’s cloud database. Data may leave the device only when you deliberately use an external integration, open an external link, or check for or download an app update.
3. How information is used
Argon uses information only as reasonably necessary to:
- authenticate you and maintain your account;
- store, display, search, organise, and synchronise your workspace;
- import and display calendar events and other content you request;
- upload and retrieve images you attach;
- maintain offline functionality and restore synchronisation when connectivity returns;
- protect the service, diagnose failures, and prevent misuse;
- provide support and respond to privacy requests; and
- comply with applicable legal obligations.
Argon does not sell personal information and does not use your workspace or Google Calendar data for targeted advertising.
4. Google user data
When you connect Google Calendar, Argon requests read-only access to your calendar list and calendar events. Argon uses this access solely to show your selected Google Calendar information alongside your todos and to keep that display synchronised.
Argon’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Argon stores an encrypted Google OAuth refresh token on its server so authorised background sync can continue. Calendar access tokens and refresh tokens are not exposed to other Argon users. Cached Google event information is associated with your Argon account and protected by account-level access controls.
Argon does not use Google user data to serve advertisements, determine creditworthiness, sell data, create advertising profiles, or train general-purpose artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models. Human access is limited to circumstances you expressly authorise, security or abuse investigation, legal compliance, or operations where the data has been aggregated or de-identified.
You can disconnect Google Calendar in Argon at any time. Disconnecting revokes the Google grant where supported and removes the stored Google credential and cached Google Calendar events from Argon’s active systems. You can also remove Argon from your Google Account connections.
You can disconnect Linear in Argon at any time. Disconnecting revokes the Linear grant where supported and removes the stored Linear credential. Todos already imported into your workspace are kept.
6. Storage, transfers, and security
Cloud account data is stored using Supabase-managed infrastructure. Service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Those countries may have different data-protection laws.
Argon uses safeguards appropriate to the service, including encrypted network transport, row-level account isolation, private storage policies, operating-system secure storage where available, and encryption of Google Calendar credentials at rest. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
7. Retention and deletion
Argon retains account and workspace information while your account remains active or as needed to provide the service. Local-only content remains on your device until you delete it, clear the application’s local data, or uninstall the application.
Deleting workspace items removes them from active workspace data, subject to temporary backups, offline copies awaiting synchronisation, security records, and legal retention requirements. Disconnecting Google Calendar removes its active credential and cached Google Calendar events as described above.
You can permanently delete your Argon account in the app from Settings > General > Account. Account deletion removes your authentication account, cloud workspace, uploaded images, settings, devices, connected-calendar credentials, and cached calendar events. Connected provider grants are revoked where supported, and account data stored locally on the device used for deletion is cleared.
A minimal de-identified purchase record may be retained for transaction integrity, fraud prevention, accounting, and legal obligations. Deleting an account does not automatically refund an App Store purchase. If the in-app deletion flow cannot be completed, contact nathan@cookaborough.com for assistance.
8. Your choices and rights
You can choose a local-only workspace, disable cloud storage for an authenticated workspace, disconnect Google Calendar, revoke provider access, change profile details, and delete individual workspace items.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection regarding personal information. You may also have a right to complain to your local privacy regulator. Contact Argon to exercise an applicable right.
9. Children’s privacy
Argon is not directed to children under 13, and the service is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact Argon so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
10. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when Argon’s features, providers, or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when changes are published. Material changes may also be communicated in the app or through another appropriate channel.
