Privacy policy

Effective 11 October 2026 · applies to the Chat to Task Chrome extension (version 3.x) and chattotask.com

In short: Chat to Task has no server. Your tasks are stored in your own browser. If you choose to sign in with Google, a backup is saved as one file in your own Google Drive. We cannot see your messages, contacts or tasks, and we never sell or share data.

What the extension handles

Data	When	Where it is stored
Text of a WhatsApp message	Only when you click “+” on that message or choose “Create task” on selected text	In the task, in your browser (chrome.storage.local)
Chat name, sender name and chat ID	With the task you create, so “Reply now” can reopen that chat	In your browser
Your tasks, notes, due dates and settings	When you create or edit them	In your browser
Google account email, name and picture	Only if you sign in with Google	In your browser, to show which account is connected
Task backup file (ChatToTask-backup.json)	Only if you sign in with Google and backup is on	In your own Google Drive

The extension does not read your other chats, does not collect your contact list, and never sends WhatsApp messages by itself. Follow-up messages are typed into the message box and you decide whether to send them.

Google sign-in and Google Drive

Signing in is optional. If you sign in, Chat to Task asks Google for these permissions:

drive.file: create, read and update only the files this extension creates. It is used for one backup file. The extension cannot see any other file in your Drive.
userinfo.email and userinfo.profile: show which Google account the backup belongs to.

Chat to Task's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data from Google is used only to provide the backup feature to you. It is not transferred to anyone, not used for advertising, and not read by humans.

You can sign out at any time in the extension's dashboard. You can also remove access at myaccount.google.com/permissions and delete the backup file from your Drive.

Email and calendar features

“Email this task” and “Add to Google Calendar” open Gmail, Outlook, your mail app or Google Calendar with the task pre-filled. Nothing is sent until you send it yourself in that service, under that service's own privacy policy.

Permissions the extension uses

Permission	Why
Access to web.whatsapp.com	Show the task panel and the “+” button inside WhatsApp Web
