Privacy Policy
Pausita is built to know as little about you as possible. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what your rights are. The data controller is Joan Manuel Serna Leiton (Colombia), reachable at [email protected].
What stays on your computer
Your settings, your breaks, and everything the app checks to know whether you're busy: your calendar events and whether your camera or microphone is in use.
Pausita never records, sees or hears anything, and none of this ever leaves your device.
Google and Microsoft calendars
If you connect a Google or Microsoft account, you sign in on their website and grant Pausita read-only access to your calendar events. The app on your computer then talks to Google or Microsoft directly.
Pausita reads only what it needs from your upcoming events (title, start and end time, whether you accepted, and the video call link) to show meeting reminders and to pause breaks during meetings. It never creates, changes or deletes events.
The access token, your events and the account's email address stay on your computer. They are never sent to our servers, shared, sold or used for ads, and no human reads them.
You can disconnect an account anytime in Settings; Pausita then deletes its token from your computer and, for Google, revokes the access. You can also remove the access from your Google or Microsoft account settings.
Pausita's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
What we collect
Only what we need to run your account and license:
- Account: your email address.
- Devices: a name you can see (like "MacBook Air"), the operating system, the app version, and an anonymous identifier derived from your hardware (a one-way hash). We use it to count your devices and prevent trial abuse.
- Subscription: status, plan, price and dates, which Paddle sends us. We never see or store your card details.
- Security: IP address and time of each request, kept briefly to protect the service from abuse.
- Download link: if you ask us to email you the download link, we use your email only for that.
Why we use it
To provide the service you asked for: sign-in, license, devices and support (performance of a contract). To prevent fraud and abuse (legitimate interest). To meet legal obligations, such as tax records.
We don't sell your data, we don't show ads, and we don't use your data to train AI models.
Who we share it with
Only with the providers we need to run Pausita: Paddle (payments, Merchant of Record), Fly.io (servers), Neon (database), Cloudflare (website and email routing) and an email delivery provider for sign-in codes.
They process data on our behalf with their own security commitments. Some are outside your country, including the United States; we rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.
Company accounts
If your email is added to a company, its owner and admins can see your email, when you joined or left, whether you installed Pausita, and your totals of breaks taken and skipped. They can't see anything else you do on your computer, and your calendar never reaches the company.
Settings the company locks apply to your app. You can leave the company at any time from your account page; after that it no longer sees new data about you. The company's owner is responsible for having the right to add you.
Cookies
The website doesn't use tracking or advertising cookies. It only stores your language choice and, if you sign in, your session in your browser. Paddle's checkout may use its own cookies when you pay.
How long we keep it
While your account exists. If you delete your account, we erase your data within 30 days, except what we must keep by law (Paddle keeps billing records). Security logs are deleted after 30 days.
Your rights
From your account page you can download a copy of your data and delete your account yourself, at any time.
You can access, correct, export or delete your data, object to or restrict its use, and withdraw consent at any time. Write to [email protected] and we'll reply within 15 business days.
In Colombia, you have the rights of Law 1581 of 2012 (habeas data) and can file a complaint with the Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio. In the EU or UK, you can complain to your data protection authority.
Security
We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), signed licenses, one-time codes that expire, and keep access to data to a minimum. If a breach affects you, we'll let you and the authorities know as the law requires.
Children
Pausita isn't meant for children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If we make important changes to this policy, we'll tell you by email or in the app before they apply.
