MyToDo does not intentionally access your contacts, SMS messages, call history, personal photos, videos, or precise GPS location unless a future version introduces a clearly disclosed feature that requires such access and you grant the relevant permission.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data, how it is used, and applicable legal requirements.

After verifying the request, we will delete or anonymize eligible account information and user-created content within a reasonable period, except where certain information must be retained for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute resolution, or other lawful purposes.
