Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Taskriz is provided by Appeggio.com Trading Pty Ltd (ABN 33 638 342 748, 14 Horne Street, Sunbury VIC 3429, Australia) (“Appeggio”, “we”, “us”). This policy explains what information Taskriz handles, why, and the choices you have. We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

2. What we collect

If you don’t give us the information we ask for, we may not be able to provide Taskriz, or some of it, to you.

The Taskriz apps for iPhone and Android

Website Chat on a business’s website

A business can put a Taskriz chat on its own website (Website Chat). If you use one, you don’t need an account, and this is what happens to what you give it:

3. Requests and responses

When an Agent sends a request, Taskriz handles its content while delivering it: we run automated checks that it is well-formed and genuine (no one reads it), then seal it to each recipient’s devices, and store it sealed — it opens only on those devices. When someone responds, their device seals the response; Taskriz opens it for the same automated checks — no one reads it — and hands it to the Agent, and keeps it until the Agent has collected it, for up to 30 days. Attachments are stored encrypted on our servers (they are not sealed to devices) and are deleted with the request they belong to.

A request to someone without a Taskriz account, or to a guest, is held until they open it. It is encrypted before it is stored, under a key that only Taskriz’s systems use, and only to deliver it; no one reads it. When they open it, it is sealed to the device that opened it, as any other request, and the held copy is deleted. A request can reach someone by text message: the text holds a link, never the request itself.

4. How we use information

To provide Taskriz — delivering requests and responses, sending notifications by email, text or push notification, keeping accounts secure, preventing misuse, enforcing our Terms of Service, and improving the service — using technical information, not the content of requests and responses. We do not sell personal information. Apart from Google Analytics on our public website (section 2), we don’t use analytics or tracking services; we don’t use advertising services, and we don’t send marketing emails.

5. Who we share it with

Service providers who run Taskriz for us, under contract — Amazon Web Services (hosting, storage, email and text messages, and Amazon Bedrock for the home page demo, Website Chat and the requests Taskriz designs), Stripe (payments), Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging, to deliver notifications to the Android app; and Google Analytics, on our public website) and Apple (Apple Push Notification service, to deliver notifications to the iPhone app). Requests are shared with the Agents and people they are sent between.

We may also disclose information when we believe in good faith that it is needed to comply with the law or a lawful request, to protect the rights, property or safety of Appeggio, the people who use Taskriz or the public, or to prevent or investigate misuse of Taskriz.

If Appeggio is involved in a merger, sale or reorganisation of all or part of its business, information may pass to the organisations involved and their advisers, who must keep handling it under this policy.

Text messages. We never share or sell your mobile number or your consent to receive text messages with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Everything else in this section excludes text message opt-in data and consent: they are not shared with any third party, apart from Amazon Web Services sending the texts for us. We use them only to send the texts you turned on.

The Taskriz apps are distributed through Apple’s App Store and Google Play. Apple and Google handle the information involved in downloading and updating apps under their own privacy policies.

6. Where it is kept

Taskriz runs on Amazon Web Services in the United States (the us-east-1 region, in Northern Virginia), so information is stored and processed outside Australia. Stripe, which handles payments, also processes information in the United States, and Google may process Google Analytics information in the United States and other countries. Google and Apple may also process notification addresses and notifications, for Firebase Cloud Messaging and the Apple Push Notification service, in the United States and other countries. Amazon Bedrock may process what is typed into the home page demo or Website Chat, and the requests Taskriz designs, in other Amazon Web Services regions. We take reasonable steps to make sure the organisations that hold information for us overseas handle it consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.

7. How long we keep it

Requests stay until they are deleted; attachments go with them. Responses are kept until the Agent collects them, for up to 30 days. What a Website Chat visitor sends stays in the business’s inbox until the business deletes it. Account information is kept while your account is open and deleted from our systems within 24 hours of closing it (copies in our backups go too, within 35 days), unless the law requires us to keep it. Logs of activity (section 2) are kept for up to 90 days, then deleted. Google Analytics keeps what it collects for up to 14 months. A phone’s notification address is kept until you sign out of the app on it, remove the app, or close your account.

A guest account, and everything in it, is deleted 30 days after the last request sent to it, opened or answered (copies in our backups go within 35 days). Responses a guest sent stay with the business that received them. A one-time code expires after 10 minutes. A held request is kept until it is opened or declined, or for up to 30 days.

8. Your choices and rights

You can view and update your account and Profiles in Settings, remove a mobile number, unpair Agents, decline invitations, and close your account. If you are a guest, you can decline a request, close your guest account, or keep it as a Taskriz account. You can change your choice about analytics cookies at any time with Cookie Settings at the foot of the site’s pages (shown where we ask first); wherever you are, you can also block cookies in your browser, or use Google’s opt-out add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). You may ask us for access to, or correction of, the personal information we hold about you, or complain about how we have handled it, by contacting us. There is no charge; we may ask you to prove who you are, and we will respond within 30 days. In limited cases the Privacy Act allows us to refuse access — for example, where it would unreasonably affect someone else’s privacy — and if we do, we will tell you why. To make a complaint about how we have handled your personal information, email us at support@appeggio.com with the details. We will look into it and respond in writing within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) — www.oaic.gov.au, phone 1300 363 992.

9. Security

Connections are encrypted, requests are sealed to recipients’ devices, passwords are hashed, and access is limited. No service can be perfectly secure; keep your devices and sign-in details safe.

10. Children

Taskriz is for people aged 16 and over. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child under 16 has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes

We will update this policy as Taskriz changes, and tell you about significant changes before they take effect.
