Tasker: Privacy Policy

How Tasker Uses Your Data

When you first open Tasker it doesn't do anything at all by itself. Tasker has a very large collection of actions that you can combine so that you can use your data any way you want to.

Think of it as blank slate where nothing at all is written, and it's up to you want to use it for. You have total freedom.

For example, you can combine the action to read your current Wifi network with the HTTP Request action to create a task that logs the history of your Wifi connections on a file in a server of your choice.

It's very important to understand that Tasker does NEVER use your data by itself unless specifically mentioned below, and you have to go out of your way to actually use the data or send it somewhere.

• Accesses: Tasker does not access ANY user data unless you, the user, specifically set up a profile or task in Tasker to do so. For example, you could create a task that checks what your device model is and shows it in a toast.
• Uses: Tasker does not use ANY user data unless you, the user, specifically set up a profile or task in Tasker to do so. For example, you could use create a task that reads your current notifications and says their text out loud.
• Stores: Tasker does not store ANY user data unless you, the user, specifically set up a profile or task in Tasker to do so. For example, you could create a task that logs your IP address every time you connect to a new network.
• Shares: Tasker does not share your data with ANY THIRD PARTY unless you, the user, specifically set up a profile or task in Tasker to do so. For example, you could create a task that sends your location via SMS to one of your contacts.
• Collects: Tasker does not collect ANY data unless you, the user, specifically set up a profile or task in Tasker to do so. For example, you could create a task to create a database of your most used apps.
• Transmits: Tasker does not transmit ANY data unless you, the user, specifically set up a profile or task in Tasker to do so. For example, you could create a task that backs up your local files on your Google Drive. All user data transmission used in your automations is handled securely over HTTPS, as long as the server you use in your automations supports this.

Some other examples of Tasker using personal data ON YOUR REQUEST

• Tasker will upload your SMS log information to a server if you create a profile to do so.
• Tasker will upload your contacts' phone number information to a server if you create a profile to do so.
• Tasker will upload your image information to a server if you create a profile to do so.
• Tasker will log all the wifi networks you connect to to a file if you create a profile to do so.
• Tasker will send your exact location to a Google Spreadsheet every minute if you create a profile to do so.

It's up to you how Tasker uses your data. By default Tasker doesn't access, use, store or share your data in any way.

Data Retention and Deletion Policy

Since Tasker doesn't store any of your personal data itself, it's up to you how you store or delete any data.

For example, if you create a task that stores your device model in a file on your device, you can also create another profile to delete that file or even just manually delete it using a File Manager.

Tasker does not store or delete any data itself. You have to do it yourself.

Background Location

With Tasker your location data privacy is secured.

Tasker needs to use your location in the background to be able to perform various location related automations. For example, you can setup a profile that changes your ringer volume whenever you are in a certain location. You could also check your location in a task and send it to your partner for example. Tasker will never share your location with anyone and will never need this permission for any other purpose other than to help you automate whatever you need based on your location.

Health Permissions

With Tasker your health related data privacy is secured.

Tasker can use your health data to be able to perform various health-related automations. For example, you can set up a profile that adjusts your daily routines based on your activity levels or other health metrics. Tasker will never share your health data with anyone and will only use this permission to help you automate tasks that improve your well-being and health management.

Google Play services

Google Play Services are used in Tasker to sign you in to TaskerNet and to allow you to interact with maps. Google Play Services collect:

• Device brand, model and form factor
• Version of OS, the app and service components it use
• App used to install the app (e.g. Google Play store)
• Stack traces & crash metrics
• IP address
• Generated pseudonymous installation identifiers
• Map interaction events

See also Google Privacy Policy.

Please note that Tasker itself doesn't use any of this info. The info is collected by Google but Tasker doesn't use it at all.

  • TaskerNet Imports: used to authenticate your request to find out that you're a legitimate Tasker user making the request to import
