At 1312 Inc., we have established the entire Pocket Lists project with the goal to make it the world’s friendliest to-do list app. This goal makes us truly care about designing complex things accessible, friendly, and very easy to use for everyone in the world. These core principles apply to everything we do with Pocket Lists including the user interface design, feature selection, system performance, security — and your privacy.

This document explains how we store and process data for you to be sure that your personal information is safe and protected, and it is only you who can fully access and manage your data.

On-Your-Device-Only By Default

Right out of the box and on every platform, the Pocket Lists app (hereinafter, App) stores and processes your data — to-do lists, to-do items, reminders, locations, priorities, and everything else (hereinafter, Data) — locally on your device only.

Your data is not sent anywhere away from your device unless you sign up for an a PocketLists.com account (hereinafter, Account).

Even the web app at PocketLists.com stores all the information in the browser’s IndexDB local storage on your device only. The data is being sent and sync with the Account only when you sign in, and not any sooner.

PocketLists.com — Backup, Sync, and Collaboration

When you sign up for the Account, your data is uploaded to PocketLists.com secure server in order to enable real-time data backup and synchronization with capabilities to share to-do lists with other people and to collaborate on things together.

The personal information associated with your Account includes your name, email address, to-do lists, to-do items, reminders, locations, priorities, and list sharing settings.

Any piece of information stored in your Account is not subject to disclosure or transfer to any third party under any conditions, except for the requests issued by law enforcement agencies under applicable legislation or court order.

HTTPS only

All data transfers between the App on your device are performed via a secure SSL connection (https://). The data is stored in a secure up-to-date database. Accessing the Data is possible only by signing into the Account with a valid email and password.

Usage Data, Stats & Crash Reporting

We use several third party services for processing and analyzing the App usage statistics, collecting anonymized crash reporting, and real-time notifications:

  • Google Analytics (website traffic),
  • Fabric (app usage statistics and crash reporting),
  • OneSignal (push notifications).

Usage data is collected to troubleshoot problems, analyze the performance, track and improve the App and the service. Access to the anonymized usage data is available to our staff irrespective of their locations.

Website Cookies

Our websites may use cookies for authorization (sign in) purposes and/or aggregate usage statistics services such as Google Analytics. However, when it technically possible, we prefer to use modern client-only storage technologies such as IndexDB instead of cookies.
