Privacy Policy

Last updated November 1, 2026

Pave is a free app, part of Manage More. Stress Less., run by BlueBridge Systems (“we”, “us”). This page explains what Pave stores, why, who can see it and what you can do about it. We keep only what Pave needs to work. We don’t sell your information, there are no ads, and there are no third-party analytics or tracking tools.

Please don’t store sensitive information

Pave is for everyday tasks and routines. Don’t put sensitive personal information in it, including medical or health records, diagnoses or medications, government ID, bank or card numbers, passwords, your home address, or private details about other people. Pave isn’t built or approved to hold that kind of information (it isn’t a HIPAA-covered service, for example). If you add it anyway, you do so at your own risk.

No backups

Your data is kept in a database on our server. We don’t make backups. If the server fails or data is damaged, it may be gone for good and we can’t restore it. To keep your own copy, use Settings → Your data → Download everything regularly.

What we store

What you put in Pave: tasks, checklists, lists, goals, schedules, reminders, what you’ve completed, “Not today” rests, personal rewards, your companion and its items, points, achievements and settings.
Your account, if you save your progress: your username, email address and password (stored only as a one-way hash, never in readable form). If you add a passkey, we store only its public key; your fingerprint or face never leaves your device.
Friends: your friend code, who you’re friends with, cheers, nudges, reactions and messages you send or receive, and your mute and block choices.
Notifications: your in-app inbox, and if you turn on push notifications, the address your browser gives us for sending them to that device.
Technical basics: your time zone (so your day starts at the right time), and the standard information any web server records, such as IP address, browser type and the time of a request, kept in server logs for security and troubleshooting.

Guest accounts

When you try Pave without signing up, we create a guest account on our server and remember it with a cookie in your browser. That cookie is the only way back to it. If you clear your browser data or cookies, use a private window, switch browser or device, or sign out, the guest account can’t be recovered, and we have no way to find it for you. Guest accounts that haven’t been used for 30 days are deleted automatically. Save your progress (free) to keep it.

Cookies and storage on your device

Pave uses only the cookies it needs to work: one to keep you signed in, one to remember you if you choose “Keep me signed in”, and one that protects forms from forgery. It also keeps small preferences in your browser’s storage (like your theme and which sections you’ve folded). None of these are used for advertising or tracking.

What friends and others see

People you add as friends see only what you allow in Settings → Friends & privacy, such as your level, companion, achievements, goals and totals like “completed 8 tasks today”. Changing a setting also hides things you shared before.
Tasks are private. A task’s name is shown only if you mark that task as shareable and turn on sharing task names.
Anyone with your friend code can send you a friend request, and your username is shown with it.
If you join the leaderboard, friends on it see your username, points and rank.
Messages you send are seen by the friend you send them to, and stay in their history.

Tips

Leaving a tip is optional. The “Leave a tip” links open a payment page run by Stripe, so your card details go to Stripe, never to Pave. Stripe shares the amount and the name and email you enter there with us. A tip isn’t linked to your Pave account and doesn’t buy coins, XP or anything in the app. Stripe’s privacy policy covers the payment.

Who else handles your data

We don’t sell or rent your information, or share it for advertising. A few services help Pave run and handle data only to do that job:

the company that hosts our server, where the database is stored;
an email service, to send messages such as password resets;
your browser’s push service (for example Apple, Google or Mozilla), if you turn on push notifications. They deliver the notification to your device.

We may share information if the law requires it, to protect someone’s safety, or to deal with abuse of Pave. If Pave is ever transferred to someone else, this policy would continue to apply to your data, and we’d post a notice here.

Your choices and rights

See and download it: Settings → Your data → Download everything gives you a copy of your data at any time.
Change it: edit your tasks, username and privacy settings in the app.
Delete it: Settings → Your data deletes your account and its data straight away. Basic records in server logs (like IP addresses) may stay for a limited time before they are cleared.
Turn things off: push notifications, reminders, the leaderboard and each kind of sharing can all be switched off.

Depending on where you live, you may have other rights over your information. Email us and we’ll help.

How long we keep it

As long as your account exists, or until you delete it. Guest accounts are deleted after 30 days without use. We may also delete accounts that have been inactive for a long time, or remove data if Pave shuts down; we’d try to give notice first where we can.

Security

We use reasonable measures such as encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords and passkeys. But no system is perfectly secure, and we can’t guarantee your data will never be accessed, lost or exposed. Another reason not to store sensitive information in Pave.

Children

Pave is not meant for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them. If you think a child under 13 is using Pave, email us and we’ll delete the account.

Where your data is

Pave is run from the United States, and your data is stored and processed there. By using Pave from elsewhere, you understand your information will be handled under US law.

Changes

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we’ll make it noticeable in Pave. Using Pave after a change means you accept the updated policy.
