Privacy policy

Last updated: July 2026

Who we are

ankrd ("we", "us") operates the ankrd productivity app at ankrd.co.uk. For data protection queries, contact privacy@ankrd.co.uk.

What we collect

Account data: email address and password (hashed).
Content you create: tasks, goals, projects (spaces), and capture text you submit.
Preferences: theme setting (light/dark).
Voice input is transcribed in your browser via the Web Speech API. We do not store raw audio — only the resulting text if you submit it.

Why we process it (lawful basis)

We process your personal data under contract — it is necessary to provide the ankrd service you signed up for. We do not sell your data.

Third parties (subprocessors)

Supabase — authentication, database hosting (EU/US regions depending on project configuration).
Anthropic — AI parsing of capture text, focus reasons, and daily quotes. Text is sent to their API server-side; your API key is never exposed to the browser.
Vercel — application hosting and delivery.

Where processors are US-based, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g. UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses).

Retention

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, we permanently remove your profile, spaces, goals, entries, and cached quotes.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can request access, correction, export, or deletion of your data. Export and account deletion are available in Settings. You may also lodge a complaint with the ICO (ico.org.uk).

Security

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest via our hosting providers. Database access follows least-privilege principles with row-level security per user.
