The short version
- We keep your account and what you put into Needt, so it can be there on every device.
- We don’t sell your data, show you ads, or use what you plan to train AI models.
- When you ask the Needt agent for help, the part of your plan it needs goes to an AI model through providers that don’t keep it or train on it.
- You can export everything as JSON and delete your account from Settings at any time.
What we collect
- Account. Your email address, an optional name, and either a hashed password or the identifier of the provider you signed in with (Google, Microsoft).
- Your content. Tasks, projects, docs, moodboards, habits, events and settings you create in Needt.
- Connected accounts. If you connect a calendar or a mailbox, we store the access tokens and sync the events or messages so Needt can show them and plan around them. Disconnect at any time in Settings.
- Billing. Your plan and payment history. Card details are handled by our payment provider; we never see them.
- Technical data. Error reports with stack traces (without the content of your tasks or messages), and basic server logs to keep the service secure.
- Analytics. Aggregate page and screen counts from a self-hosted, cookie-free tool. No session recording, no cross-site tracking.
AI and connected assistants
The Needt agent only runs when you ask it to. The tasks, events or text it needs for that request are sent to an AI model through a gateway that routes only to providers who don’t retain or train on the data. If you add your own AI key, requests go to the provider you chose, under their terms.
If you connect an outside assistant over MCP or the API, it receives what its tools return — the same things you can see in Needt. You can revoke any connection in Settings → Data → Personal API.
How we use it
To run Needt for you: store and sync your data, schedule your tasks, send the reminders and emails you asked for, process payments, keep the service secure and fix what breaks. We process your data because it’s needed to provide the service you signed up for, and, for security and error monitoring, because we have a legitimate interest in keeping Needt working.
Who helps us
We use a small number of providers, each only for its job: hosting, error monitoring, email delivery, payments, and the AI gateway and model providers described above. They process data on our instructions. Some of them may process data outside Switzerland or the EU; where they do, we rely on the safeguards the law requires.
How long we keep it
As long as your account exists. When you delete your account, it’s held for a short grace period so you can change your mind, then removed for good, along with everything attached to it. Backups roll over on their own schedule.
Your rights
You can see, correct, export and delete your data, and object to or restrict how we use it. Most of this is in Settings; for anything else, write to privacy@needt.app and a person answers. You can also complain to your data protection authority — in Switzerland, the FDPIC.
Cookies
The app uses the cookies it needs to keep you signed in. This website sets none for analytics.
Changes
If this notice changes in a way that matters, we’ll say so in the app and by email before it applies.
