+# TaskNotes Privacy Policy
+
+Last updated: October 12, 2025
+
+## Overview
+
+TaskNotes is an Obsidian plugin that helps you manage tasks within your notes.
+
+## Data Collection and Usage
+
+TaskNotes does not collect, transmit, or share any of your data.
+
+## Data Storage
+
+- All task and note data remains local to your Obsidian vault
+- Plugin settings are stored locally in Obsidian's configuration
+- No data is sent to external servers or third parties
+
+## Data Deletion
+
+You can delete your data at any time:
+- Disable the plugin to stop processing tasks
+- Remove the plugin to delete all plugin settings
+- Your notes remain in your Obsidian vault under your control
+
+## Network Requests (Optional Features)
+
+TaskNotes operates locally by default, but includes optional features that make network requests when you enable them:
+
+**Optional network features:**
+- **ICS Calendar Subscriptions**: If you configure calendar subscriptions, TaskNotes fetches calendar data from the URLs you provide (e.g., Google Calendar, Outlook)
+- **Webhooks**: If you configure webhooks, TaskNotes sends task event data to the webhook URLs you specify
+
+**What we never do:**
+- No analytics or tracking
+- No telemetry data collection
+- No external network requests to TaskNotes servers (we don't have any servers)
+- Your notes remain local to your device
