This Privacy Notice for Obliger ("we," "us," or "our") describes how and why we might access, collect, store, use, and/or share ("process") your personal information when you use our services ("Services"), including when you:
Questions or concerns? Reading this Privacy Notice will help you understand your privacy rights and choices. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Services. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us at contact@obligerapp.com.
This summary provides key points from our Privacy Notice. You can find more details by using the table of contents below.
What personal information do we process? When you visit, use, or navigate our Services, we may process personal information depending on how you interact with us and the Services, the choices you make, and the products and features you use.
Do we process any sensitive personal information? We do not process sensitive personal information.
Do we collect any information from third parties? We do not collect any information from third parties.
How do we process your information? We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. We process your information only when we have a valid legal reason to do so.
In what situations and with which parties do we share personal information? We may share information in specific situations and with specific third parties.
What are your rights? Depending on where you are located, applicable privacy law may give you certain rights regarding your personal information.
How do you exercise your rights? Visit obligerapp.com/privacy-request or contact us. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
In short: We collect personal information that you provide to us.
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the Services, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you participate in activities on the Services, or otherwise when you contact us.
The personal information we collect may include the following:
Trial accounts. You can try Obliger without providing an email address or password. A trial account still requires your display name and date of birth, and creates a starter Circle with an example task so you can see how Obliger works. If you convert your trial to a full account, this becomes your regular account, and none of your data changes hands. If you do not convert, your trial account and all of its data are automatically and permanently deleted after 30 days, as described below.
Content you create in the app. Obliger is a shared task tracker, so most of what we store is content you write. This includes:
This content is visible to the other members of any Circle you belong to. Anyone in a Circle can see that Circle's tasks, notes, and completion history, including which member completed which task and when, and the display names of all members. Do not put information in a task or note that you would not want every member of that Circle to see.
Settings and delivery information. To send reminders at the right local time, we also store:
Sensitive information. We do not process sensitive information.
Application data. If you use our application(s), we also may collect the following information if you choose to provide us with access or permission:
This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our application(s) and for troubleshooting.
All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes.
In short: When an error occurs in the app, our crash-reporting provider automatically collects limited technical information to help us diagnose the problem.
Obliger does not have a public website with visitor analytics, and we do not use browser tracking, referring-URL tracking, or any advertising or analytics identifiers. The only information collected automatically is the limited technical error data described above under "Mobile device data" -- your device model, operating system version, and app version, captured only when the app encounters an error. We do not automatically collect your IP address, browsing activity, location, or device name through this process.
In short: We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law.
We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our Services, including:
In short: We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason to do so under applicable law.
The GDPR and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. We may rely on the following legal bases:
We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.
In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including for investigations and fraud detection, business transactions, compliance with a subpoena or court order, or other circumstances permitted by applicable Canadian law.
In short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section.
We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:
We use a small number of third-party providers to operate Obliger. They process your information only to provide these services to us, and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes:
| Provider | What it does | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, account authentication, and hosting | All account information and all content you create in the app |
| Expo (650 Industries, Inc.) | App build and distribution services (EAS), and relaying push notifications to Apple's and Google's push delivery services | Your device's push token, and the content of each reminder -- which includes the Circle name and the names of due tasks. Notification content is held only in memory during delivery and is not stored by Expo. |
| Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging) | Delivers push notifications to Android devices | Push delivery data for your device |
| Sentry | Crash and error reporting | Device model, operating system version, app version, and technical error details. We remove account identifiers and authentication credentials before these reports are sent. If you choose to submit feedback through an error report, it also receives the name, email address and message you enter. |
| Resend | Sends account emails, such as address confirmation and password-reset codes | Your email address and the contents of that email |
| Apple and Google | Distribute the app through the App Store and Google Play | Your device identifiers and app usage data as governed by Apple's and Google's own privacy policies, not ours |
We do not sell your personal information, we do not share it for advertising purposes, and we do not use analytics or tracking software.
Obliger does not currently process payments or charge for any features. If that changes in the future, this Privacy Notice will be updated to name the relevant payment processor before payments are introduced.
In short: We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own.
Our servers are located in the United States. If you are accessing our Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored by, and processed by us in our facilities and in the facilities of the third parties with whom we may share your personal information, including the United States and other countries.
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, those countries may not have data protection laws as comprehensive as those in your country. However, we will take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable law.
Safeguards for international transfers: We have implemented measures to protect personal information transferred outside the EEA, UK, or Switzerland. Where a provider offers them, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, which require the recipient to protect personal information originating from the EEA or UK in accordance with European data protection law. We have Standard Contractual Clauses in place with our database and authentication provider (Supabase), our email provider (Resend), and our crash-reporting provider (Sentry), and these can be provided on request.
Our push notification provider (Expo) does not offer a customer-specific data processing agreement. Transfers to Expo rely on its participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and on the safeguards described in its own privacy policy. As described in the table above, Expo holds notification content only in memory for the duration of delivery and does not store it.
In short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). We will not keep your personal information for longer than the period of time in which you have an account with us, except as described below.
Deleting your account. You can delete your account at any time from Settings. If you own a Circle that has other members, you must remove those members or transfer ownership before you can delete your account. If you own a Circle in which you are the only member, deleting your account permanently deletes that Circle as well. Deleting your account permanently removes your account, any Circles you solely own, the tasks in them, your completion history, your notification settings, and your push tokens. This cannot be undone. However, your actions on tasks in Circles owned by other people are not deleted: a record that you completed a task, changed its status, or received ownership of it remains in that Circle's history, with your identifying information removed rather than the record itself. This does not apply to tasks you created in a Circle you do not own: deleting your account also deletes those tasks entirely, along with their full history, including entries logged by other members.
Deleting a Circle. Deleting a Circle does not erase it immediately. It is hidden from all members straight away and stops appearing in reminders, but its contents are retained for a recovery period of at least 30 days so that a deletion made in error can be reversed. After that period it is permanently deleted. During the recovery period the Circle's contents remain stored but are not accessible to any member through the app.
Trial accounts. If you start a trial and do not convert it to a full account within 30 days, your trial account, its Circle, tasks, and all associated data are automatically and permanently deleted. If you cancel your trial from Settings, the same deletion happens immediately rather than waiting for the 30-day period. Converting your trial to a full account before either of these happens keeps all of your data exactly as it is; nothing about the deletion rule applies to a converted account.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
In short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to minors.
Obliger is a general-audience app and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We collect date of birth at account creation and do not knowingly permit anyone under 13 to create an account. Parents are welcome to use Obliger to manage shared tasks with their children through the parent's own account. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please contact us at contact@obligerapp.com.
In short: Depending on your state of residence in the US or your location in regions such as the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information.
In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right to (i) request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) request rectification or erasure, (iii) restrict the processing of your personal information, (iv) data portability, and (v) not be subject to automated decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information.
You can make such a request by contacting us using the contact details provided in the section "How Can You Contact Us About This Notice?" below. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you have the right to complain to your Member State data protection authority or UK data protection authority.
If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the contact details provided in the section "How Can You Contact Us About This Notice?" below. Please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal.
If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can log in to your account settings and update your user account. Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms, and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at contact@obligerapp.com.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.
In short: If you are a resident of California or other US states with privacy laws, you may have the right to request access to and receive details about the personal information we maintain about you, correct inaccuracies, get a copy of, or delete your personal information.

We may use your personal information for our own business purposes, such as for undertaking internal research for technological development and demonstration.

We have not disclosed, sold, or shared any personal information to third parties for a business or commercial purpose in the preceding twelve (12) months. We will not sell or share personal information in the future belonging to website visitors, users, and other consumers.

To exercise these rights, you can contact us by visiting obligerapp.com/privacy-request or by emailing us at contact@obligerapp.com.
Under certain US state data protection laws, you can designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf in accordance with applicable laws.
Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom we have the information in our system. We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. However, if we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity and for security or fraud-prevention purposes.
Under certain US state data protection laws, if we decline to take action regarding your request, you may appeal our decision by emailing us at contact@obligerapp.com. We will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If your appeal is denied, you may submit a complaint to your state attorney general.
In short: You may have additional rights based on the country you reside in.
