Privacy Policy

Overview

Teak protects your privacy across the web app, mobile app, and browser extension. We store and process your personal design inspiration securely.

Data We Collect

• Account data: Better Auth authentication, profile info (name, email, optional photo), account preferences.
• Your content: Cards (notes, links, images, videos, audio, documents), 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 data: Current page URL when you save content, text you explicitly select to save, and context menu interactions.

How We Use Your Data

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

Data Security

• Storage on secure Convex servers (US-based)
• Industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest
• Better Auth-managed secure login
• Isolation so your data stays private from other users
• Automated backups for data durability

Sharing & Disclosure

• 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

• Access: view all your content through our apps.
• Export: download your data in standard formats.
• Delete: remove individual cards or your entire account.
• Control: manage privacy preferences.

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 app: essential cookies for authentication, local storage for performance, secure session management.
• Mobile app: device permissions only when used (camera, mic, photos), local caching for offline access, optional push notifications.
• Browser extension: active tab access only when saving content, no background monitoring, activates only on user interaction.

International Data

Data may be processed outside your country, but primary storage remains in the US with strong privacy protections.
