Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 16th, 2021

General

The fundamental part of our mission with acreom is delivering privacy-first software. In short, you own your data, period. acreom runs either completely offline, using on-device storage or is synced between devices using Google Cloud. Sync is end-to-end encrypted by default for all accounts created after 13th of December 2023. Accounts created before this date can enable end-to-end encrypted sync in settings. No one but you accesses your data. We do use analytics to get an overall sense of growth and engagement so we can further improve acreom. This however, is only available to us when you use the synced version where we are able to collect such metadata.
