tasks-sync is a command-line program that runs on the user's own computer. It has no server component. Nobody other than the user operates it or can see its data.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks): the user's task lists and tasks, including titles, notes, due dates, completion state and ordering. The tool reads them and writes changes the user or the user's own automation makes.openid and email): the user's Google account identifier and email address, read from the sign-in response. They are used only to bind the local database to one account and to show which account is signed in.Task data is stored in a database file on the user's computer so that it can be read and edited locally and synchronised with Google Tasks. The OAuth access and refresh tokens Google issues at sign-in are stored in a file on the same computer, readable only by the user's account. No data is sent to any party other than Google's own APIs. No data is used for advertising, sold, or shared.
tasks-sync's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Deleting the database and token files on the user's computer removes all data the tool holds. Access can be revoked at any time from the user's Google account permissions page, after which the stored token stops working.
Questions about this policy can be sent to the user support email shown on the Google sign-in screen for this app.
