Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 17, 2026

Panda's Recap (“we,” “us”) is a personal work-tracking tool: a board for your tasks, built-in time tracking, and a year-end review generator. This policy explains what data we handle and why. We keep it plain on purpose.

The short version: we only collect your basic Google profile (to sign you in) and the boards and time you create in the app (to save and sync them). If you subscribe to Pro, our payment provider Stripe handles your payment details, and we never see your card number. We don't sell your data, we don't use it for advertising, and we never touch your Gmail, Drive, Calendar, or contacts.

What we collect

Your account details, if you sign in with Google. We receive your name, email address, profile picture, and a Google account identifier. We use Google Sign-In only to identify your account, and we request no access to your Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar, contacts, or any other Google data. We store your Google account identifier, email address, and name on our servers so we can save your work, sign you in, and, if you ask us to, find and delete your account.
The content you create in the app, such as your boards, cards, notes, tags, and time entries. If you are signed in, this is stored on our servers so it can sync across your devices. If you use Panda's Recap as a guest (without signing in), this content stays in your own web browser and is never sent to us.
Subscription and billing information, if you subscribe to Pro. Our payment provider, Stripe, collects and processes the payment details you enter to bill you. We never see or store your full card number. On our own servers we store only your subscription status and the Stripe identifiers needed to manage it, such as whether your subscription is active and when the current period ends.

How we use it

To sign you in and keep you signed in.
To save your work and sync it across the devices where you sign in.
To provide the Pro subscription and process its payments (through Stripe).
To operate, maintain, and improve the service.
To generate your year-end review. If you choose to use the optional AI Polish feature, the text of your review draft is sent to Anthropic to rewrite it into finished prose. This only happens when you click Polish.

We do not sell your personal data, share it with data brokers, or use it for advertising or profiling.

Who we share it with

We don't share your data with third parties except the infrastructure providers that run the service on our behalf:

Google provides sign-in. See the Google Privacy Policy.
Cloudflare hosts the app and the database that stores your saved content. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
Stripe processes subscription payments for Pro. When you subscribe, the billing and payment details you enter are handled by Stripe, not stored by us. See the Stripe Privacy Policy. If you never subscribe, none of your data is sent to Stripe.
Anthropic powers the optional AI Polish feature. When you use it, your review draft is sent to Anthropic's Claude models to produce the polished version. Anthropic does not use data submitted through its API to train its models. See the Anthropic Privacy Policy. If you never use AI Polish, none of your data is sent to Anthropic.

Cookies

We use a single cookie to keep you signed in after you log in with Google. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies. If you use the app as a guest, no sign-in cookie is set.

Where your data lives, and keeping it secure

Signed-in data is stored on Cloudflare's infrastructure. Connections use HTTPS, and your sign-in session is protected with a signed, secure cookie. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

Keeping or deleting your data

Guest data lives only in your browser. Clearing your browser's site data removes it. You can also export a backup any time from Settings.
Account data: to delete your account and the data associated with it, email us (below) and we'll remove it. Note that Stripe may retain records of your payments as required for legal, tax, and accounting purposes, even after your account is deleted.

Children

Panda's Recap is a general-audience productivity tool and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the “Last updated” date above.
