Taskwell and your privacy

This page sums up what Taskwell does with your data. The Hedgerow privacy policy covers every app, the website and purchases in full.

What stays on your PC

• Settings and data live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hedgerow\Taskwell on your PC.
• Your tasks, with their notes, checklists, tags, dates, reminders, projects and areas, in a database on your PC.
• A backup of your tasks once a day (the newest 30 are kept), in the data folder or a folder you choose.
• Deleted tasks in the Trash for 30 days.
• The last 10 crash reports, kept locally whether or not you send them.
• A trial start date in the registry under your user account.
• A Start with Windows entry in your user Run key (Direct edition; on by default, turn it off in Settings › General).

When Taskwell goes online

• License activation (Direct edition): when you enter a key, Taskwell sends the key, your PC’s name, the app’s name and an anonymous device ID to our license server. About once a week it checks the license again, sending the key and the activation’s ID.
• Update checks (Direct edition): only when you choose Check for updates. The request includes the app’s name and version, nothing else.
• Crash reports: off unless you turn them on. If Taskwell crashes, it saves a report on your PC; with reports turned on it also sends that report, with file paths removed, to crash.hedgerowapps.com.

Good to know

• There is no account and no sync. Tasks never leave the PC unless you export them or choose a backup folder that another program copies elsewhere.

There are no ads, and no analytics or usage tracking.

Microsoft Store edition

The Store edition doesn’t contact our license server or check for updates itself: Microsoft handles the purchase, the license and updates, under Microsoft’s privacy statement.
