Privacy Policy

Overview

Teak protects your privacy across the web app, desktop app, mobile app, browser extensions, Raycast extension, CLI, public API, and MCP server. We store and process the content you save securely.

Data We Collect

Account data: Authentication details, profile info (name, email, optional photo), and account preferences.
Your content: Cards (notes, links, images, videos, audio, documents, palettes, quotes), metadata (timestamps, tags, favorites), and securely stored file uploads.
Usage data: How you interact with our services, device/browser info for compatibility, and error logs for service improvement.
Extension and client data: Page URL or text you explicitly choose to save, and similar capture data from share sheets, Raycast, CLI, API, or MCP when you use those surfaces.

How We Use Your Data

Primary uses: Store, organize, and sync your content; enable cross-platform access; process metadata and thumbnails; power search.
Secondary uses: Improve service quality, provide technical support, maintain security, and meet legal requirements.

Data Security

Hosted storage in the United States with industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest
Secure login sessions
Isolation so your data stays private from other users
Automated backups for durability

We never share your personal content for advertising or third-party analytics; your cards and files remain private.
Limited disclosure only for legal requirements (court orders), safety concerns, essential service providers, or business transfers (mergers/acquisitions).

Your Rights & Controls

Export: download your data from Settings (web and desktop).

Deletion timeline: soft delete provides a 30-day recovery period; permanent deletion happens after 30 days; full account deletion completes within 30 days of request.

Platform Practices

Web and desktop: essential cookies or local storage for authentication and performance; secure session management.
Mobile app: device permissions only when used (camera, mic, photos); local caching for offline viewing.
Browser extension: active tab access only when saving content; no background monitoring; activates on user interaction.
CLI, Raycast, API, MCP: authenticate with browser sign-in or an API key you control; revoke keys anytime in Settings.
