The short version

The Next Thing is a single-user productivity tool. We store the minimum data needed to make your account work. We do not sell your data, and we do not use third-party advertising trackers.

What we collect

• Account info: your email address (and a hashed password if you sign up with email). If you sign in with Google, we receive your email and basic profile from Google.
• Your content: the focus areas, tasks, and preferences you create inside the app.
• Session data: sign-in tokens stored in your browser so you stay signed in.
• Feedback you send: the contents of any feedback form submission, plus a short browser user-agent string.

How we use it

Your data is used to operate the app — show you your board, sync across devices, send authentication emails (password reset, email verification), and follow up on feedback if you opted in.

Where it lives

Data is stored in a managed PostgreSQL database operated by our cloud provider. It is protected by row-level security so only your account can read your tasks and focus areas.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account at any time from the Account page. Deleting your account removes your focus areas, tasks, and preferences from our database.
