Privacy policy
Last updated: 16 October 2026
Tessabee is in beta. It's in early testing and open to invited testers only. We'll keep improving this policy as we get ready to launch, and we'll tell you about any important changes before they take effect.
This policy explains what Tessabee collects about you, why, who helps us look after it, and what you can do about it. We've tried to keep it short and in plain English.
The short version
- We collect only what we need to run Tessabee: your name, email and photo from Google, and the boards, cards and files you create.
- We don't sell your data, show adverts, use tracking or analytics, or use your content to train AI.
- You can download everything or delete your account at any time from the settings menu.
- Your data is stored in London.
Who we are
Tessabee is run by Michal Draszewski, a sole trader trading as Tessabee. You can contact us at [email protected].
Business address: being set up, coming soon. Until then, please write to us by email.
We are the "data controller" for the personal information described here. That means we decide how it's used and we're responsible for looking after it.
What we collect
When you sign in with Google
- Your name, email address and profile photo.
- A Google account ID, so we know it's you next time.
We never see or store your Google password.
What you put into Tessabee
- Boards, cards, checklists, comments, due dates, routines and your activity history.
- Files and photos you attach.
- Names and details of other people you add to your boards. If you add someone else's details, please make sure they'd be happy with that.
- Your preferences, such as theme and style.
When you pay Coming soon
Tessabee is free during the beta, so we don't take any payments yet. When paid plans start, payments will be handled by Stripe. We'll never see or store your full card number. Stripe will tell us your name, email, billing country and postcode, the type of card, its last four digits and expiry date, and your payment history.
When you contact us
- Your emails and anything you choose to send us.
Technical information
- Your IP address, browser type and the times you use the service. These are recorded automatically by our hosting and database providers to keep the service secure and working.
Why we use it, and our legal reasons
| What we do | Our legal reason |
|---|---|
| Run your account, save and sync your boards, show your name and photo | To provide the service you've signed up for (contract) |
| Take payments and send receipts and reminders Coming soon | Contract, and keeping tax records (legal obligation) |
| Keep the service secure, prevent abuse, fix problems | Our legitimate interest in a safe, working service |
| Answer your emails | Contract, or our legitimate interest in helping you |
| Send news or offers | Only if you've said yes (consent). You can say no at any time. |
Who helps us run Tessabee
We use a few trusted companies to run the service. They handle your data only on our instructions, under data protection agreements.
| Company | What they do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Stores your account, boards and files | London, UK |
| Cloudflare | Hosts the website and protects it from attacks | Worldwide network |
| Sign-in, and our business email (if you email us) | UK, EU and US | |
| Stripe Coming soon | Will take payments when paid plans start | UK, EU and US |
Some of these are US companies, so your data may sometimes be accessed from outside the UK. When that happens, it's protected by safeguards approved under UK law. These are either the UK–US "data bridge" or the UK's standard data transfer agreements, built into each company's data protection terms. You can ask us for details.
How long we keep it
| What | How long |
|---|---|
| Your account and boards | While your account is open |
| Deleted cards and boards | 30 days in the Bin, then gone for good |
| When you press Delete account | Deleted straight away |
| After you cancel a paid plan Coming soon | 30 days (read-only, so you can download or come back), then everything is deleted |
| Backup copies | During the beta there are no backups yet, so please keep your own copy of anything important with Download my data. From launch, daily backups will be kept for a short time and then deleted automatically. |
| Payment records Coming soon | 6 years, as UK tax law requires |
| Emails with us | Up to 2 years after our last conversation, unless we need them longer to sort out a problem |
Who can see your content
- You, and anyone you invite to a board, once sharing is available.
- Us, only when needed. We look at your content only if you ask us for help, to fix a technical problem, to protect the service, or if the law requires it. We don't browse your boards.
What's stored on your device
Tessabee doesn't use advertising or tracking cookies. It stores a few things in your browser so that it works:
- your sign-in, so you stay signed in
- a copy of your boards and files, so it's fast
- your display preferences.
All of this is essential for the service, so we don't need to ask for consent. Signing out removes the copy of your boards and files from that device. If we ever add analytics or anything non-essential, we'll ask you first.
Keeping it safe
- Everything travels over an encrypted connection (HTTPS).
- Your boards and files can only be opened by your account. Each account's files are kept private.
- Our own accounts are protected with two-step verification.
If something ever goes wrong and your data is put at risk, we'll tell you and, where required, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Your rights
You have the right to:
- See and get a copy of your data. Use Download my data in the settings menu, or ask us.
- Correct it. Most things you can edit yourself. Your name and photo come from your Google account.
- Delete it. Use Delete account in the settings menu, or ask us.
- Object to how we use it, or ask us to limit what we do with it.
- Take it elsewhere. The download includes a spreadsheet-friendly file (CSV) and a full copy (JSON).
- Withdraw consent for anything you agreed to, such as marketing emails.
Email [email protected] for any of these. We'll reply within one month.
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, please tell us first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.
Age
Tessabee is for people aged 18 and over.
Changes to this policy
Tessabee is still in beta, so this policy will change as the service grows (for example when paid plans and sharing arrive). For important changes, we'll tell you in the app or by email before they take effect. The date at the top shows when this policy was last updated.
