## Overview

Teak protects your privacy across all Teak apps and integrations. 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

## 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 from Settings (web and desktop).
- Delete: remove individual cards or your entire account.
- Control: manage privacy preferences and API keys.

**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.

## International Data

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

## Children's Privacy

Teak is not for users under 13; we don't knowingly collect data from children under 13.
