Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2025
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Go GSD ("Go GSD," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website, app, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). We are committed to respecting your privacy and handling your data in a way that is transparent, secure, and aligned with how high-performers expect their tools to behave.
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Service. We may update this Policy from time to time; when we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you through the Service.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the information we need to operate an execution-focused scoreboard and improve the Service. The types of information we may collect include:
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
- Account information: such as your name, email address, password, and workspace details when you create an account or join a team.
- Profile and settings: such as your preferred working hours, time zone, and notification preferences.
- Execution data: such as tasks you create, focus blocks you schedule, completion timestamps, notes, tags, and other content you add to the Service.
- Communications: such as messages you send to us (e.g., support requests, feedback) or responses to surveys and onboarding questions.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you use the Service, we may automatically collect certain technical information to help us keep things fast, reliable, and secure:
- Usage data: such as pages and screens viewed, features used, session duration, and basic interaction events (for example, starting and ending focus blocks).
- Device and log data: such as IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and diagnostic log data that helps us troubleshoot issues.
- Approximate location: derived from your IP address to help with localization (for example, time zone defaults or language), not for precise tracking.
2.3 Information from Third Parties
If you choose to connect Go GSD with third‑party tools (for example, project management or authentication providers), we may receive limited information from those services, such as:
- Basic profile information (name, email, avatar) from identity providers you use to sign in.
- Task or project metadata you explicitly authorize us to sync, solely to represent execution within Go GSD.
The information we receive from third parties is governed by the privacy policies of those services. You can manage or revoke these connections at any time within your account settings where applicable.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes, always with an execution‑first, privacy‑respecting mindset:
- To provide and maintain the Service: including creating and managing your account, displaying your execution score and metrics, syncing your data across devices, and ensuring core features work as intended.
- To personalize your experience: such as remembering your preferences, tailoring in‑app guidance, and surfacing insights about your focus patterns and execution trends.
- To improve the Service: by analyzing aggregate and de‑identified usage patterns, running experiments, and understanding how features perform so we can make them faster, simpler, and more effective.
- To communicate with you: including sending transactional messages (for example, account notifications, security alerts), responding to your questions, and providing updates about new features or changes to this Policy.
- To protect our users and the Service: including monitoring for fraud, abuse, or security incidents and enforcing our terms of use.
- To comply with legal obligations: such as responding to lawful requests from authorities, meeting regulatory requirements, or asserting our legal rights where necessary.
We do not sell your personal information or execution data to third parties. Where we rely on service providers (for example, hosting, analytics, or email delivery), they are contractually bound to use your data only on our behalf and in accordance with this Policy.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep your sessions stable, remember your preferences, and understand how the Service is used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that can be read by your browser.
4.1 Types of Cookies We May Use
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for the Service to function (for example, authentication and security). You cannot opt out of these without impacting core functionality.
- Preference cookies: used to remember your settings and choices, such as language, time zone, or UI preferences.
- Analytics cookies: used in aggregate form to help us understand usage patterns and improve performance, without focusing on individual behavior beyond what is necessary to operate the Service.
4.2 Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting them. If you choose to disable cookies, certain parts of the Service may not function correctly, and your ability to stay signed in or maintain a consistent scoreboard view may be affected.
Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing non‑essential cookies or similar technologies on your device.
5. Data Sharing, Security, and Retention
We design Go GSD around the idea that your execution data is yours. When we do share or store data, it is done carefully and with clear purpose.
5.1 When We Share Information
- With trusted service providers that help us operate the Service (for example, cloud hosting, analytics, email delivery, payment processing), under strict data protection terms.
- Within your team or workspace, according to the sharing and visibility settings you or your organization configure (for example, shared dashboards or aggregated team metrics).
- If required by law, regulation, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Go GSD, our users, or others.
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or other corporate transaction, in which case we will take steps to ensure the continued protection of your information and notify you where required.
5.2 Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and regular monitoring for unusual activity. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we work to keep risk low and respond quickly to potential issues.
5.3 Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you close your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable timeframe, subject to any data we must retain for legal or operational reasons.
6. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:
- The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
- The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- The right to request deletion of your information, subject to legal and operational requirements.
- The right to object to or restrict certain types of processing.
- The right to data portability, where technically feasible.
- The right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
You can exercise many of these rights directly through your account settings. For other requests, please contact us using the details in the Contact Us section below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
7. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
