DueThreadIn short: DueThread keeps everything you enter on your own computer, inside your Chrome profile. Nothing is sent to the developer or to anyone else. There is no account, no advertising and no analytics.
Who this policy is from
DueThread is developed and published by an independent developer (“we”). If you have a question about this policy, write to support@sensifty.com.
Information DueThread stores
DueThread stores the information you give it so it can show your lists, reminders and reviews:
- Tasks and follow-ups, including titles, notes, deadlines, chase dates, priority and status.
- The names of people you record against follow-ups, and their organisations if you add them.
- Links between items, such as a task that waits on someone else's input.
- Project names and the short names you give them.
- Workflow templates you save, and the date your Pro trial started.
- A history of what you did with each item, such as chases, revised promises, notes and completions, along with the person and project at the time.
- Your settings and setup answers, such as working days and hours, how you write dates, reminder style and quiet hours.
- Text, page titles and page addresses, but only when you choose a DueThread command from the right-click menu to save them.
All of this is stored using Chrome's local extension storage, in your Chrome profile on your computer. It is not synced to other devices and is never transmitted to us or to any third party.
Information DueThread does not collect
- DueThread has no servers and makes no network connections. Its security settings block them.
- There are no accounts, sign-ins, analytics, telemetry, advertising, tracking or cookies.
- It does not read the pages you visit, your browsing history or your email. It has no permission to access websites.
- It never sends messages on your behalf.
How the information is used
Only to provide DueThread's features on your computer: your lists, reminders and the daily summary, project filing, the review, and the status updates you choose to copy or download. The review's statistics are calculated on your computer from your own history.
We do not sell, share or transfer any information, and we do not use it for advertising, credit decisions or any purpose unrelated to these features. We never receive it.
Permissions
DueThread asks Chrome for the following permissions and uses each only as described.
| Permission | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| Storage | Saving your tasks, projects, history and settings on your computer. |
| Unlimited storage | Letting your history grow beyond Chrome's default limit for extensions. Data still stays on your computer. |
| Alarms | Checking once a minute whether a reminder or the daily summary is due. |
| Notifications | Showing the reminders and summary you have set up. |
| Context menus | Adding the right-click commands you can use to save selected text or the current page. |
| Side panel | Showing DueThread beside the page you are viewing. |
Buying DueThread Pro
If you buy DueThread Pro, payment is handled by Dodo Payments, which acts as the merchant of record. Your card or other payment details go to Dodo Payments, not to us, and are handled under its own privacy policy.
After payment, Dodo Payments sends our licence service your email address, a payment reference and what you bought. We use these only to issue your licence key, to show it to you on the purchase page, to email it to you, to extend your existing licence period if you renew early, and to send it again if you lose it. Licence emails are sent through Resend, an email delivery service, which receives your email address and the key for that purpose only. The licence key contains your email address and the dates it covers. Records of issued keys are kept for as long as needed to provide these services and to meet tax and accounting obligations.
The DueThread extension itself still makes no network connections. The Upgrade to Pro button only opens the checkout page in your browser, and DueThread checks a licence key on your computer. A key you enter is stored with your other DueThread data in your Chrome profile.
Backups
You can export a backup file from DueThread's settings. The file contains your tasks, people, projects, templates, settings and history, and it is not encrypted. It is saved wherever you choose, so keep it somewhere private. Importing a backup reads a file you select and merges it on your computer.
Keeping and deleting your information
- Your information stays on your computer until you delete it.
- Deleting an item removes it from your lists. A short record that it was deleted is kept, so that importing an older backup does not bring it back without asking you. Its past activity can still appear in the review history.
- After exporting a backup, you can remove history older than 180 days from the settings.
- When DueThread is upgraded from an earlier version, it keeps a recovery copy of the old data on your computer until you export a backup and remove the copy.
- Removing the extension from Chrome deletes everything it stored. Backup files you exported are not affected; delete them yourself if you no longer need them.
Security
Because your information stays in your Chrome profile, anyone who can use your computer account and Chrome profile can see it. Protect them with a password, and keep exported backups private.
Children
DueThread is not directed at children under 13. It does not collect personal information from anyone.
Chrome Web Store User Data Policy
DueThread's use of information complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Changes to this policy
If DueThread's handling of information changes, this page will be updated and the effective date above will change. A change that affects how information is handled will also be described in the extension's release notes before it takes effect.
