AI-Powered Features and Data Processing
TaskSpot offers optional AI-powered features available to paid subscribers. These features involve processing your data through third-party AI services.
AI Enhance (Paste to Import)
When you enable "AI Enhance" in the Paste to Import feature:
- What is sent: Only the text you paste (up to 10,000 characters) and today's date. No other personal data (name, email, account info, existing tasks) is included.
- Processing: Anthropic's Claude AI analyzes the text to extract structured tasks. This is ephemeral — your text is processed and the response returned. The original text is not stored by TaskSpot or retained by Anthropic.
- What is stored: Only the resulting task data (titles, descriptions, priorities, dates), encrypted at rest using AES-256.
- Model training: Anthropic does not use API-submitted data to train models. Your text is never used for AI training.
MCP Integration (AI Assistant Access)
When you connect AI assistants via API keys:
- Assistants access only task data you authorize through your API key.
- All content is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256).
- Revoke keys anytime from Settings > API Keys.
Opting out: Don't toggle AI Enhance and don't generate API keys. The free text parser runs entirely in your browser with no external API calls.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We may share your information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating TaskSpot, conducting our business, or serving our users. These third parties are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify. We share information with:

Data Security
We implement and maintain a comprehensive Written Information Security Program (WISP) in compliance with Massachusetts law (201 CMR 17.00). Our security measures include:
- Encryption: Data in transit is encrypted using TLS/SSL protocols. Task content (titles, descriptions) is encrypted at rest using AES-256 with per-field random initialization vectors. AI-processed text is transmitted over encrypted connections and is not persisted.
- Access Controls: We limit access to personal information to authorized personnel who need it to perform their duties.
- Regular Security Assessments: We conduct regular security audits and assessments to identify and address vulnerabilities.
- Secure Infrastructure: We use industry-standard security practices and work with reputable hosting and service providers.
- Employee Training: Our team is trained on data protection and security best practices.
While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to maintaining reasonable safeguards.
