Work sessions, to-dos, summaries, and preferences are primarily stored inside the app sandbox on your device.

Deskward is not specifically directed at children. If children use the app, we recommend supervision by a parent or guardian. We may also link to third-party services such as the App Store or provider documentation, and those services have their own privacy practices.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the app, its data flows, or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the last-updated date on this page.
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or Deskward's data practices, please refer to the App Store listing and the home page for the latest support information.
