Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 11, 2026
1. Introduction
BackForge AI (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a task app. This policy describes what we store and which services process your information when you use the app.
2. Account
You sign in through Clerk. We store your Clerk user id. Clerk holds your email and name for sign-in.
3. Information we store
We store captured text and the items you confirm: the item text, status, due time, and category. We also store your categories, and an optional push token for future reminders. Push reminders are not sent today. Voice audio is not stored by us.
4. Voice
Audio recorded in the app is sent to OpenAI (Whisper) to transcribe. We do not store that audio.
5. Parsing
Capture text is sent to OpenAI to split it into action items and suggest due times and categories. You review and edit those suggestions. Nothing is saved until you confirm.
6. Storage
Data is stored in Supabase (Postgres). Connections use HTTPS.
7. Third-party services

BackForge AI is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their personal information.
10. Changes
We may update this policy. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the updated policy.
