Pulse ("we," "us," or "our") is a task management application designed for people with ADHD, autism, and executive dysfunction. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about the data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.
This Privacy Policy applies to the Pulse application and website (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
When you create an account, we collect your phone number for authentication purposes. We use SMS-based one-time passcodes (OTP) to verify your identity. We do not collect your name, email address, or other personal identifiers unless you voluntarily provide them in your profile.
We store the tasks, projects, notes, and organizational data you create within the Service. This includes task titles, descriptions, categories, energy levels, estimated durations, completion status, and any text you enter during brain dump sessions.
To improve our AI recommendations, we collect anonymized usage events such as which tasks you start, complete, or skip, your energy level selections, focus session durations, and timing patterns. This data is used solely to personalize the Service for you and is never sold or shared with third parties for advertising.
We may collect basic device information such as browser type, operating system, and screen size to optimize the Service experience. We do not collect device identifiers, location data, or contacts.
We use your information to:
Pulse uses SMS text messages solely for account authentication. When you sign in, we send a one-time verification code to the phone number you provide.
We will never share, sell, or use your phone number for any purpose other than account authentication. Your phone number is not shared with any third parties except our SMS delivery provider (Twilio) as necessary to deliver verification codes.
Pulse uses AI (powered by Anthropic's Claude) to process your task data. When you use features like brain dump parsing, task decomposition, or focus suggestions, the text you provide is sent to Anthropic's API for processing.
Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a hosted PostgreSQL database platform with enterprise-grade security. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Access to your data is protected by Row Level Security (RLS) policies — only you can read or modify your own data through the application.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only with the following service providers, solely as necessary to operate the Service:
We may also disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete all associated data (profile, tasks, projects, and events) within 30 days. Anonymized, aggregated analytics data that cannot be linked back to you may be retained indefinitely.
