This is the privacy policy for the Checkvist web service. Here we describe what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your options regarding information we may collect about you. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us at kirsa@checkvist.com
We value your privacy and strive to make our services safe and enjoyable for everyone. Checkvist stores only the essential personal information, required for the tool to function. We will never, under no circumstances, sell this data to anyone.
We do not aggregate information about people navigating through the Checkvist website pages. We used to have Google Analytics and HotJar tracking. Now we do not use any tracking tools.
We do not use any tracking or monitoring tools in your account.
When you create a Checkvist account, we ask for your email address, username, and password. This data is used solely for authentication and necessary email communication.
We do not send any marketing, customer research or advertising emails. You receive all news and updates via in-app notifications, Checkvist blog, Twitter, Facebook.
One of the PRO plan features is keeping backup files in your Dropbox account. If you set up this integration, your files will be stored in your Dropbox, under Dropbox's Privacy policy and Terms.
Checkvist creates a dedicated "Checkvist" calendar in your Google Calendar and sends tasks with a due date to this calendar as events.
When you create events in this "Checkvist" calendar, they appear as due tasks in Checkvist, in the list you choose during the integration. Modifications of due tasks and corresponding events sync between Checkvist and Google Calendar.
You can connect or disconnect your Google Calendar from your Checkvist account at any time.
Checkvist API allows you to create a custom integration with other applications and share your data with them. In this case, all shared data will be governed by the privacy policy and terms of those applications.
For the non-authenticated user, Checkvist does not collect cookies. There will be no trace of your visit if you don't create a Checkvist account or don't use a temporary Checkvist account.
For the authenticated user, Checkvist needs cookies to store the visitor's preferences and session information. These cookies are required to use Checkvist.
If you have checked the "Remember me" option upon logging in, the cookie will be stored for 90 days. After that, it will expire to protect you against others accidentally accessing your account contents, and you will have to log in again.
If you haven't checked the "Remember me" option, cookies will be cleared when you close your browser and next time you will have to log in again.
For a more detailed description see the Cookies page.
We use Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to stop automatic bot sign-ups and unsolicited email distribution. By creating a Checkvist account you agree to Google reCAPTCHA Terms and Privacy policy.
We require explicit email verification for features that employ email distribution from the system (list sharing and notifications).
We use third-party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run Checkvist. Although we own the code, databases, and all rights to the Checkvist application, you retain all rights to your data.
All database data, including users, lists, and history, are stored on the dedicated server(s) at LeaseWeb (Netherlands).
For inactive non-PRO users, the data is removed after 1 year of inactivity (with prior two email warnings about data deletion in a case of inactivity).
For all active users, and for all paying customers, the data is stored as long as the person keeps the account in Checkvist.
File attachments and individual data backups are stored in Amazon AWS/Ireland.
Full Checkvist backups, including database and servers, are stored in Amazon AWS/Ireland.
Personal information from payments is stored only at our payment processors, FastSpring (and PayPal, for older non-EU customers). No information about credit cards (or other means of payment) ever goes through Checkvist servers.
Such information as payment email address, country, and address, is stored in internal Checkvist server logs and removed within 1 month after the payment. Also it is present in the email confirmations about payments for audit purposes.
Checkvist service logs contain details about user activity and service operations. They are stored on the dedicated server(s) at LeaseWeb (Netherlands), and contain information about 1 month of activity.
Passwords are filtered out from the logs.
We neither partner nor have any relationship with any online advertising companies.
We reserve the right to disclose personally identifiable information under special circumstances, such as to comply with subpoenas or when your actions violate the Terms of Service.
If you want to erase all data, associated with your Checkvist account (including payment history, email address, all list data, attachments), just log in and delete your account on the profile page. That operation can not be undone, and will permanently delete all your data, including those shared with other people.
To export your lists before deletion, use the 'Export' command in the list's toolbar or use OPML backup files (PRO feature). If you don't have a PRO account, you can request a copy of all your lists and personal data, associated with your account. Please, contact privacy@checkvist.com. We'll send you the file within 30 working days.
We may periodically update this policy. In this case we will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by sending a notice to the email address specified in your Checkvist account or by placing a prominent notice on our site.
