The short version

Tend stores the things you put into it — your tasks, notes, events, contacts and lists — so they can appear on your other devices. It does not sell anything, does not run advertising, and has no analytics or tracking product in it.

A few things deliberately never leave your device at all: your saved places and their coordinates, and your AI key if you connect one.

What is stored on the server

These are held so your account works and syncs:

• Your account — the email address you signed up with, your display name, and a hashed password. Passwords are never stored in a readable form.
• Your content — tasks, notes, categories, events and calendar subscriptions, contacts, occasions, rhythms, meals and shopping lists, including anything you type into them.
• Notification settings — your reminder preferences, quiet hours, and the time zone your device reports, which is what lets a 09:00 reminder arrive at 09:00 where you are.
• Push subscriptions — if you turn on notifications, the browser-issued address your device can be reached at, plus a device label you can see and remove in Settings.

What stays on your device

• Saved places and their coordinates. The nearby-list feature matches your position against your places entirely on the device. Your location is never sent to the server and is never stored there.
• Your AI key, if you connect one. It is kept in your browser — you can choose session-only storage in Settings so it is gone when the browser closes — and is used to call the AI provider directly.
• A local copy of your content, so the app works offline. Signing out or clearing site data removes it.

Location

Location is off unless you turn it on. When it is on, the app reads your approximate position while it is open, compares it on-device to the places you saved, and uses the result to surface the right list. The position is not transmitted, not logged, and not retained.

Calendar subscriptions

If you subscribe to a calendar, Tend's serverfetches that address on a schedule — not your browser. That means the calendar's host sees a request from the server rather than from you, and Tend stores the events it returns alongside your own. The address you subscribed to is stored so it can be refreshed.

Calendars you add by pasting a link are yours: Tend does not vet them, and whatever the address returns becomes events in your account.

Artificial intelligence features

AI features are off until you connect your own key. When you use one, the relevant text — for example the line you are capturing, or the occasion you are asking for gift ideas about — is sent to the AI provider you chose, under your own key and their terms. Tend does not proxy it, does not keep a copy, and no AI feature runs unless you ask for it.

Diagnostics

When something goes wrong the app may send an error report containing the error message, its stack trace, and the page address it happened on. It also reports basic loading-speed measurements. These exist to find bugs. They are not used to build a profile, and there is no advertising or third-party analytics in the app.

Who else sees your data

Nobody buys it and nobody is sold it. Data is processed by the services needed to run the app — hosting and the managed database — and by any calendar or AI provider you choose to connect. There are no advertising or data-broker integrations.

Getting it back, and deleting it

Settings → Data & sync has Export my data, which returns everything in your account as a single JSON file, and Delete account, which removes your account and its content from the server. Deletion is immediate and permanent — export first if you want a copy. Removing the app also clears the local copy on that device.

Children

Tend is not directed at children and is not intended for use by anyone under 13.

Changes

If what the app collects changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top moves. Material changes will be surfaced in the app rather than made quietly.
