Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 31, 2026

In plain words

• Barn Boards is a private shared task board for people and their AI assistants. It is a free beta. We take no payments, run no ads, and sell no data.
• You sign in with Google or an emailed link. We do not ask for passwords.
• We collect your email, your display name, basic Google profile details if you use Google, and what you put on your boards, such as tasks, comments, dates, owners, and history.
• Task descriptions, close notes, evidence, comment bodies, and the old and new values for description changes are encrypted with a separate key for each board. Titles, project names, owners, dates, statuses, area names, and actor names are not encrypted.
• An assistant you connect can work on the one board you pick. It cannot delete anything, and it is named on every change it makes. You can disconnect it in Settings.
• Nothing is deleted in normal use. An owner can delete a board in Settings. Its data is removed 7 days later, and the owner can cancel until then.

NicomaNet Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation that operates Barn Boards ("Company", "we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This policy describes how we collect, process, retain, and disclose personal data about you when providing services to you through our website and services that link to this policy (our "Services") and our practices for using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

This policy applies only to information we collect:

• Through the Services.
• In communications, including email, text, chat, and other electronic messages, between you and the Services.

It does not apply to information collected by:

• Us offline or through any other means, including on any other website operated by Company or any third party that does not link to this policy; or
• Any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or through the Services.

We may provide additional or different privacy policies that are specific to certain features, services, or activities.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we treat it. By interacting with our Services or providing us with your information, you agree to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this privacy policy. This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy). Your continued use of the Services after we make changes as described here is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

Children's and Minors' Data

Our Services are not intended for, and we do not knowingly collect any personal data from, children under the age of 16. If we learn we have collected or received personal data from a child under 16 years old, we will delete that information.

The Personal Data That We Collect or Process

"Personal data" is information that identifies, relates to, or describes, directly or indirectly, you as an individual, such as your name or email address (for example, account information such as name and email address, or any other identifier we may use to contact you online).

The types and categories of personal data we collect or process include:

• Account and contact information, including your display name and email address, basic Google profile details if you use Google to sign in, and the email addresses of people an owner invites to a board.
• Content and information you elect to provide, including tasks, titles, descriptions, close notes, evidence, comments, dates, owners, and task history, and emails or other communications sent to us.
• Workspace and connection information, including which boards you belong to, and which assistants and agent keys are connected and to which board.

How We Collect Your Personal and Other Data

You Provide Information to Us

We collect information about you when you interact with our Services, such as when you sign in with Google or an emailed link, set up or update an account, create or edit tasks and comments on a board, or connect an assistant. A board is set up only for a confirmed email.

Automatically Through Our Services

We use a sign-in session to keep you signed in. Our own application logs hold fixed text only. They never hold task content or error details. Our hosting providers may keep standard request logs, such as IP addresses. Our host, Lovable, records basic page-visit analytics, such as visit counts and where visits came from.

From Google

We may receive personal data about you from Google if you use Google to sign in. This is basic Google profile details. We may combine it with information we collect directly from you.

How We Use Your Information

We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal data, to:

• Provide you with the Services and any contents, features, information, products, or services that we make available through the Services.
• Let you sign in, including by sending you an emailed sign-in link.
• Share the content of a board with the people and assistants you share that board with, and carry out the changes they make.
• Fulfill any other purpose for which you provide it.
• Provide you with notices about your account, including notice before any paid plan begins.
• Carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
• Notify you about changes to any products or services we offer or provide through them.
• In any other way we may describe when you provide the information.
• For any other purpose with your consent.

We do not use the content of your boards to train AI models.

Who We Disclose Your Information To

We may disclose personal data that we collect or you provide as described in this privacy policy:

• To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our organization. These are Lovable and Lovable Cloud (hosting), Supabase (the database behind Lovable Cloud, which also sends our sign-in emails), and Google (only for Google sign-in).
• To the people and assistants you share a board with, who can see the content of that board. People on a board can see each other's display name and email address. Owners can also see the email addresses they have invited.
• To any assistant provider you connect, such as Claude or ChatGPT. An assistant connects by OAuth to the one board you pick. It can read, create, edit, move, complete, and supersede tasks on that board and cannot delete anything. It is named on every change. That provider's own policy applies to what it does with the information it receives.
• To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of NicomaNet Technologies, Inc.'s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal data held by NicomaNet Technologies, Inc. is among the assets transferred.
• To fulfill the purpose for which you provide it.
• For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information.
• With your consent.

We may also disclose your personal data:

• To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.
• To enforce or apply our Terms of Use (barnboards.io/terms) and other agreements.
• If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of our organization, our users, or others.

The categories of personal data we may disclose include:

• Account and contact information.
• Content and information you elect to provide to us.
• Workspace and connection information.

Your Rights and Choices About Your Information

This section describes mechanisms you can use to control certain uses and disclosures of your information and rights you may have under state law, depending on where you live.

Choices in Settings:

• Assistant connections. You can disconnect an assistant at any time in Settings.
• Deleting a board or your account. An owner can delete a board in Settings, and you can delete your account in Settings. See How We Retain Your Personal Data for what happens next.

Your State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residency, you may have certain rights related to your personal data, including:

• Access and Data Portability. You may confirm whether we process your personal data and access a copy of the personal data we process. To the extent feasible and required by state law, depending on your state, data will be provided in a portable format. Depending on your state, you may have the right to receive additional information and it will be included in the response to your access request.
• Correction. You may request that we correct inaccuracies in your personal data that we maintain, taking into account the information's nature and processing purpose.
• Deletion. You may request that we delete personal data about you that we maintain, subject to certain exceptions under applicable law.

Important: The exact scope of these rights vary by state. There are also several exceptions where we may not have an obligation to fulfill your request.

To exercise any of these rights, please email legal@nicomanet.com. To appeal a decision regarding a consumer rights request, email legal@nicomanet.com and say that you are appealing.

Nevada provides its residents with a limited right to opt out of certain personal data sales. Residents who wish to exercise their sale opt-out rights may submit a request to this designated address: legal@nicomanet.com. However, please know we do not currently sell data triggering that statute's opt-out requirements.

How We Protect Your Personal Data

We do not ask for passwords. You sign in with Google or an emailed link. Boards are isolated from each other at the database level. We encrypt task descriptions, close notes, evidence, comment bodies, and the old and new values for description changes, using a separate key for each board. We do not encrypt titles, project names, owners, dates, statuses, area names, or actor names. Leaving a board or being removed from it ends your access at once.

We use commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect your personal data from accidental loss or destruction and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no website, mobile application, system, electronic storage, or online service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to, through, using, or in connection with the Services. In particular, email, texts, and chats sent to or from the Services may not be secure, and you should carefully decide what information you send to us via such communications channels. Any transmission of personal data is at your own risk.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. You are responsible for taking steps to protect your personal data against unauthorized use, disclosure, and access.

How We Retain Your Personal Data

Nothing is deleted in normal use. An owner can delete a board in Settings. Its data is removed 7 days later, and the owner can cancel until then. You can delete your account in Settings. Your personal board, and any shared board you are the only member of, is removed after 7 days. You leave other shared boards at once. Your assistant connections and agent keys end at once. Your sign-in is removed after 7 days, and you can cancel before then by signing in. Content you add to a shared board stays on that board after you leave it, including your name in the board's history.

We keep the categories of personal data described in this policy for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described or for as otherwise legally permitted or required, such as maintaining the Services, operating our organization, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and for safety, security, and fraud prevention. This means that we consider our legal and business obligations, potential risks of harm, and nature of the information when deciding how long to retain personal data. At the end of the retention period, personal data will be deleted, destroyed, or deidentified.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time, and we will provide notice of any such changes to the policy as required by law. The date the privacy policy was last updated is identified at the top of the page. We will notify you of changes to this policy by updating the "last updated" date and posting the updated policy on the Services. We may email or otherwise communicate reminders about this policy, but you should check our Services periodically to see the current policy and any changes we have made to it.
