Last updated: June 30, 2026

Information we collect

GatherStart collects the information needed to run client intake workflows, including account details, client contact details, project names, checklist responses, uploaded files, and basic usage data such as timestamps and completion status.

How we use information

We use this information to create project checklists, send client links, track submission progress, store uploaded files, support account access, improve reliability, and communicate about service-related activity.

Client links and uploads

Project links are intended for the client or collaborator who receives them. Uploaded files and submitted responses are used for the project workflow selected by the account owner.

Service providers

We may use trusted providers for hosting, authentication, storage, email delivery, analytics, and operational monitoring. These providers process data only as needed to provide the service.

Data retention

Project and client data is retained while an account uses GatherStart, unless it is deleted by the account owner or removal is required by law. Backups and logs may persist for a limited period.

Your choices

Account owners can update or delete client and project information inside the app. For privacy requests, contact us and include enough detail for us to locate the relevant account or project.
