WillisGSD Privacy Policy | Lacy Digital Labs

Effective Date: July 15, 2026

The Short Version

WillisGSD is a local-first task manager. We do not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data, usage data, or telemetry. There are no accounts and no servers we operate. Your tasks, projects, and notes live in a local SQLite database on your device. Optional sync, if you turn it on, uses your own iCloud or a folder you choose — never our servers.

One exception applies to the Linux version. If you buy it directly from our store, our Merchant of Record (Lemon Squeezy) and payment processor (Stripe) collect your name, billing address, and email to complete the sale, and Lacy Digital Labs keeps only your email address — used solely to tell you about updates to the app you bought, never for marketing, and never sold. See “Purchases & Payment Processing” below.

1. Information We Collect

None. WillisGSD does not collect any personal information, usage statistics, crash reports, or analytics of any kind. The application has no backend server of ours and, unless you turn on optional sync (see Section 3), operates entirely offline on your device.

2. Local Data Processing

WillisGSD reads and writes a single SQLite database on your local file system at a location you choose. Your tasks, projects, areas, goals, contexts, references, and preferences remain on your device at all times. Specifically:

The database file is stored in a directory you select.
Application preferences are stored locally on your device.
No data is uploaded to, processed by, or stored on any server we operate.
Aside from the optional sync you may turn on (see Section 3), the application initiates no network connections.
JSON export/import operates entirely on local files you choose.

3. Optional Sync

WillisGSD does not operate a sync service of its own and never sends your data to any server we run. If you want your tasks on more than one device, you can turn on sync in Settings → Storage & Sync and choose where your data goes:

iCloud (Mac, iPhone, iPad) — WillisGSD reads and writes sync data inside your own private iCloud container. That data is stored in and transmitted through your personal iCloud account and is governed by Apple's privacy policy. We have no access to it.
Custom Folder (all platforms) — you point WillisGSD at a folder of your choosing, such as a Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, network, or local folder. The third-party service you select syncs those files across your devices, and that service's privacy policy governs how they are stored and transmitted.
You may also simply place the WillisGSD database file in a cloud-synced folder yourself; the app watches the file and reloads when it changes.

In every case, sync data travels only to the iCloud account or folder you choose — never to Lacy Digital Labs. Sync is entirely optional and off by default. If you do not enable it, your data never leaves your device.

4. Telemetry and Analytics

WillisGSD does not include any telemetry, analytics, or crash-reporting frameworks. We do not track how you use the application, which features you access, how often you use it, or any other behavioral data.

5. Tracking and Advertising

WillisGSD does not use cookies, tracking pixels, advertising identifiers, fingerprinting, or any other tracking technologies. We do not display advertisements and we do not participate in any advertising networks.

6. Purchases & Payment Processing

If you purchase WillisGSD through the Apple App Store, Microsoft Store, Google Play, or any other distribution platform, that platform may collect transaction and account information as part of the purchase process. The same applies to any optional in-app purchases that may be offered in the future for additional features — those transactions are processed entirely by the platform's billing system, not by us. This data is collected and managed by the respective platform, not by us. Please refer to the applicable platform's privacy policy for details:

We do not receive, store, or have access to your payment information, Apple ID, Microsoft account, Google account, or any other account credentials. Purchase or restore of in-app purchases is handled by your platform using receipts that are validated locally on your device — no purchase data is sent to any server we operate.

Direct purchases of the Linux version. The Linux edition of WillisGSD is sold directly from our own online store rather than through a platform app store. When you buy it this way, a few commerce partners are involved and a limited amount of information is handled off your device:

Merchant of Record — Lemon Squeezy. Our store is operated by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the Merchant of Record for the sale. To meet tax and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) requirements, Lemon Squeezy collects your name, billing address, and email address during checkout.
Payment processing — Stripe. The financial transaction is processed by Stripe, which handles your payment-card details. We never see or store your card information.
What we keep. From this process Lacy Digital Labs receives and retains only your email address. We use it solely to reach you about the app you purchased — for example, to let you know when a new version, patch, or feature is available. We do not use it for marketing, and we will never sell or rent it to any third party.

You can ask us to delete your email address at any time (see “Your Data Rights” below). For how these partners handle your information, see the Lemon Squeezy Privacy Policy and the Stripe Privacy Policy.

7. Third-Party Services

WillisGSD does not integrate with, send data to, or receive data from any third-party services, APIs, or cloud platforms operated by us. The application is self-contained. The only third-party interaction is the optional sync described in Section 3 — Apple iCloud, or a cloud-folder provider you choose — which is initiated by you and handled through your own account or folder.

8. Children's Privacy

Because WillisGSD does not collect any data from any user, it does not knowingly or unknowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 (or any other age). The application is safe for users of all ages.

9. Your Data Rights

Because WillisGSD does not collect, process, or store any personal data, there is no personal data to access, correct, delete, or transfer. Your tasks and database file exist only on your device under your full control. You can export or delete your data at any time using the app's built-in JSON export/import or by deleting the database file directly.

The one piece of personal data we may hold is the email address collected when you buy the Linux version directly from our store (see “Purchases & Payment Processing” above). You may ask us to access or delete that email address at any time by contacting our support center; we will delete it promptly, after which you will no longer receive our update notices for the app.

If you have any questions about your data, please contact us using the information below.

10. Data Security

Since WillisGSD does not collect or transmit data, there is no risk of your data being intercepted, breached, or exposed through our application. Your database file is protected by your operating system's built-in security mechanisms and any encryption you apply at the device level. If you choose to enable sync, the security of your data in transit and at rest is governed by Apple iCloud or the cloud-folder provider you choose.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date, and we encourage you to review this page periodically.
