Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
OutSwitch is a mobile application developed by Dan Meyer (dan@outswitch.ai). When we say "OutSwitch," "we," "us," or "our," we mean the app and its developer.
2. What information we collect
We collect the minimum information necessary to operate OutSwitch:
- Account information: Your email address, used to identify your account.
- OAuth access tokens: When you connect a third-party service (Slack, Google, Microsoft), that service issues OutSwitch an access token. We store this token so OutSwitch can toggle your Out of Office status on your behalf without requiring you to re-authorize each time.
- Out of Office settings: Your OOO message text, return date (if set), and which integrations are active.
- Usage data: Basic logs of when your OOO status was toggled, used for reliability and debugging. This data is not shared.
3. How we use your information
We use the information we collect solely to provide and improve OutSwitch:
- To toggle your Out of Office status across connected platforms when you activate or deactivate it in the app.
- To restore your previous status when your Out of Office period ends.
- To operate and maintain the OutSwitch backend service.
- To diagnose and fix technical problems.
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to operating OutSwitch.
4. Third-party services
OutSwitch integrates with the following third-party platforms at your direction. Each has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your data:
- Slack — slack.com/privacy-policy
- Google Workspace — policies.google.com/privacy
- Microsoft 365 — privacy.microsoft.com
OutSwitch only accesses these services with the permissions you explicitly grant during the connection flow, and only acts on your behalf when you activate or deactivate your Out of Office status.
5. Data storage and security
Your data is stored on Railway (railway.com), a cloud infrastructure provider based in the United States. Data is stored in a PostgreSQL database. We use industry-standard practices including encrypted connections (TLS) and environment-variable-based secret management.
OAuth tokens are stored encrypted and are never included in app binaries or source code repositories.
6. Data retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and data at any time. The fastest way is in-app: open OutSwitch, go to Settings, and tap "Delete My Account & Data." This immediately revokes access to any connected third-party accounts (such as Slack) and permanently deletes your account data from our servers — no waiting period required. If you're unable to use the app, you can instead contact us at dan@outswitch.ai to request deletion, which we will complete within 30 days.
7. Your rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of your account and associated data. The fastest way to do this is in-app: Settings → "Delete My Account & Data." If you're unable to use the app, email dan@outswitch.ai instead. This action cannot be undone.
- Revoke OutSwitch's access to any connected platform at any time through that platform's own settings.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at dan@outswitch.ai.
8. Children's privacy
OutSwitch is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as OutSwitch evolves. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of OutSwitch after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
