Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 3, 2026

1. Who We Are

Steadily is a product of Deliberately Works, LLC ("Deliberately Works," "we," "us," or "our"). Steadily is a productivity tool that helps you break down projects and goals into actionable task plans. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and services at Steadily.app (the "Service").

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

Data Type	What We Collect	Why We Need It

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide the Service: Generate AI-powered task plans from your project descriptions
• Manage Your Account: Handle registration, login, password reset, and email verification
• Save Your Plans: Store your plans so you can access them later (if logged in)
• Improve Steadily: Analyze usage patterns to make the product better
• Communicate: Send account-related emails (verification, password reset)
• Ensure Security: Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats

4. Data Isolation Across Deliberately Works Products

Steadily is one of several products operated by Deliberately Works, LLC. We believe your data belongs to you, and each product should earn your trust independently. Here's how that works:

• Separate by default: Your Steadily account, plans, and activity are completely separate from any other Deliberately Works product. We do not combine, cross-reference, or share your data across products.
• Link only if you choose to: In the future, you may have the option to link your accounts across Deliberately Works products (for example, to get a multi-product discount or to share data between services). This will only happen if you explicitly opt in.
• Clear consent: If you choose to link accounts, we will clearly explain what data will be shared and why before you confirm. You can unlink at any time.
• No surprises: Creating an account on one Deliberately Works product does not automatically create accounts on other products, and does not give other products access to your data.

5. AI Processing and Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

Service	Purpose	Data Shared
OpenAI	AI plan generation	Your project description text (to generate tasks)
SendGrid	Email delivery	Email address (for account verification and password reset)
Google Analytics 4	Aggregate traffic analysis	Anonymous usage data, device info, geographic region (see Section 8.2)
Stripe	Payment processing	Payment method details (if you choose to support us or subscribe to a paid plan). We never see or store your full card number.

We recommend you:

• Do not include sensitive personal information (health data, financial details, passwords) in your plan descriptions
• Review OpenAI's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle data

6. Data Retention

We retain your data as follows:

• Account Information: Until you delete your account
• Plans: Until you delete them, or until you delete your account
• Analytics Data: Aggregated analytics may be retained for product improvement
• Security Logs: Up to 90 days for abuse prevention

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Delete Your Account: Permanently delete your account and associated data from the Account page
• Update Information: Change your email, username, or password in account settings
• Opt Out: You can use Steadily without creating an account (plans are stored locally in your session)

7.1 Privacy Controls

In your Account Settings, you can control:

• Product Improvement: Choose whether your anonymized plan data can be used to improve Steadily's AI and features. When disabled, your plan content is used only to generate your personal task plans and is not analyzed for product improvement.
• Marketing Communications: Choose whether to receive occasional emails about new features and product updates. Account-related emails (password reset, verification) are always sent regardless of this setting.

To exercise these rights, visit your Account Settings or contact us at privacy@plansteadily.com.
