Privacy

Last updated October 13, 2026. This page covers the shelltasks.com website. The ShellTasks apps are not released yet; they will get their own section before they are.

Who we are

ShellTasks is run by Oscar de Souza Dias, a sole trader, who is responsible for the data described here. Write to [email protected] about anything on this page.

The short version

• If you join the waitlist we store your email address, when you joined and, if you answer it, what you would use most. Nothing else.
• We use it to tell you when the beta opens. We do not sell it, share it or add it to other lists.
• This site sets no cookies and runs no tracking scripts. The one exception is the checkout page, where Paddle's payment form may set the cookies it needs to take a payment.
• Email [email protected] and we will delete your address.

Waitlist

When you submit the waitlist form we store your email address (trimmed and lower-cased), the date and time you joined, a random record ID and, if you answer the optional question, what you would use most (tasks, packs or both). We do not store your IP address, browser or where you came from with the sign-up.

We use your answer, counted together with everyone else's, to decide what to build first. We use your address only to email you about ShellTasks launching: the beta invitation and the launch itself. We keep it until you ask us to remove it, or until 12 months after the public launch, whichever comes first.

Founder licence pre-orders

Pre-orders are handled by Paddle, which acts as the merchant of record: it takes the payment, handles tax and sends the receipt. The details you give at checkout go to Paddle under Paddle's privacy policy. We receive the order, your name and email address so we can deliver the licence; we never see your card details.

The checkout page, /pay/, loads Paddle's checkout script (Paddle.js) from Paddle's servers to show the payment form. Paddle may set cookies there that it needs for checkout and fraud prevention. No other page on this site loads it.

Analytics and cookies

Apart from Paddle's checkout described above, this site sets no cookies. To count visits we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not use cookies or fingerprint visitors and does not track you across sites.

Who processes your data

The site, the waitlist database and the analytics run on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes your IP address to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse; see Cloudflare's privacy policy. Paddle processes pre-order payments as described above. No one else receives your data.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the data we hold about you, or object to how we use it. Email [email protected] and we will reply within 30 days. If you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to your local data protection authority.

Changes

If we change what the site collects, we update this page and the date at the top before the change goes live.
