1. Information We Collect
We collect the following information to provide and improve our services:
- Basic account details, including username, gender, age group, and role.
- Usage analytics to understand feature performance and app stability.
- Metadata about task and project data you create within the app, but never the actual content you create.
- Authentication credentials managed by Clerk, our login provider.
- Push-notification subscription identifiers handled by OneSignal.
- Payment-related information processed by third-party payment processors, depending on the platform and purchase method. For example, Stripe may process web purchases, while Google Play may process in-app purchases where applicable. We never store payment card details.
- Email addresses used for free-trial verification, retained separately to prevent repeated use.
- Optional voice-capture audio and transcript processing handled by your device or your browser’s speech-recognition provider. Hold My Thought does not store the audio.
All personal data is collected responsibly and kept to the minimum required for service functionality.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Operate, personalize, and improve the Hold My Thought experience.
- Maintain and enrich your projects, tasks, and reminders with new features.
Demographic details, including age, gender, and role, are used solely to help us design a better and more inclusive experience for different user groups.
3. Data Storage and Security
We never sell or disclose your data for marketing or advertising.
To operate the app, we share limited information with trusted service providers, including Clerk for authentication, Stripe for payments, and OneSignal for notifications. These partners process information only as necessary under strict data-protection agreements.
Your task and project content remains private and accessible only to you.
4. Data Retention
- Active tasks remain stored until you delete them or close your account.
- Deleted tasks are kept in Trash for 30 days, after which they are permanently deleted.
- Archived tasks are automatically deleted after five years or when you close your account.
- When you delete your account, all related data is permanently removed, except for your email address, which is retained in an isolated anti-abuse record. This record is not linked to personal data and is used only to ensure that each email address receives one free trial.
5. Payments
Billing and payment processing are handled by third-party processors depending on the platform and purchase method.
For web purchases, payments may be processed by Stripe. For purchases made through Google Play, Google may process payment and related transaction information.
Hold My Thought does not collect or store payment card information.
6. Cookies and Tracking
We use minimal essential cookies to maintain secure sessions and remember preferences.
Session management is performed by Clerk, which uses industry-standard encrypted cookies to keep your login secure.
7. Email Communications

- Trial expiration notifications.

These emails are essential to your use of the service. By creating an account, you consent to receive these transactional emails.
You can stop receiving emails by deleting your account through Settings.
