Privacy Policy

Effective September 25, 2026 · Updated September 30, 2026 · Version history

The short version

1. Who we are

GYST ("Get Your Sh*t Together") is a calendar, task, habit, list and household app for iPhone and the web at getgystapp.com. GYST is operated by Light Chop LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. "We", "us" and "our" mean Light Chop LLC. This policy covers the GYST app and website. It works alongside our Terms of Service.

2. What we collect

We collect what you give us and what the features you turn on need. Most of it is optional.

The web app keeps some settings in your browser's local storage. Your sign-in is not stored there: it lives in one secure sign-in cookie that the page itself can't read, and the page holds its short-lived sign-in key only in memory while it is open. The cookie ends when you log out or reset your password, and never lasts more than 30 days after you sign in. We use no advertising or analytics cookies.

If you choose Remember password on iOS, GYST saves your email and password in this device's Keychain, protected by its current Face ID or Touch ID enrollment. It also remembers the email address in the app's local settings. Logging out keeps this optional saved login; Forget saved password on the login screen removes it. Changing your password or deleting your account in the iOS app also removes the saved login on that device. In supported browsers, Remember password asks your browser's password manager to save it; storage, syncing and removal follow your browser's settings. GYST does not put saved passwords in browser local storage or share them with connected AI assistants.

3. How we use it

We do not sell your personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, rent it, or give it to data brokers. We don't use your data to train AI models.

4. AI features

AI chat, the daily brief, smart event creation and optional smart email parsing send information to an AI company to get an answer.

Who receives it

What is sent

Your request, plus the context needed to answer it: your name; your home and work addresses and work schedule; the names and relationships of people in your Family section; your events from a week ago to 90 days ahead (titles, times, locations and notes), plus the titles and cancel notes of events you cancelled in the past five weeks; and your open tasks. For the daily brief, also weather, web-search results, reminder badges (titles only — never bill amounts), package deliveries GYST found in your email (description, carrier and expected date), and the first part of yesterday's brief (so it isn't repeated).

Events and package details derived from your connected Gmail account enter that context only while Enhanced Email Parsing is on. Turning it off also excludes them from on-device AI tools and connected assistants. A saved brief that may contain email details must be regenerated with the setting off before GYST sends it for cloud voice or reuses it as AI context.

Never sent to AI: Money data of any kind, your passwords or API keys (a key goes only to its own company), Apple Health data unless you turn on Include Apple Health data (section 6), and information GYST extracts from your connected Gmail account while Enhanced Email Parsing is off.

If you turn on Enhanced Email Parsing, the sender, subject line and first 500 characters of matching emails go to your chosen AI company (Groq, Anthropic or OpenAI, using your key) to pick out dates, amounts and places. It is off by default.

5. AI assistants you connect

You can connect an outside AI assistant (for example Claude, ChatGPT or Grok) to your GYST account. When you connect one, you choose what it can see and change: calendar, tasks, habits and routines, lists, people and family, and settings, each as "see" or "change". The assistant then reads and changes those things when you ask it to.

6. Apple Health (iPhone)

If you connect Apple Health, GYST reads your workouts, sleep (including stages), steps, heart rate, breathing rate, heart-rate variability, blood oxygen, sleeping wrist temperature, sleep apnea events and activity rings. GYST never writes anything to Apple Health.

7. Location

8. Sharing with people you choose

GYST shares things only with people you connect with and only what you share.

9. Gmail (optional)

If you connect Gmail, GYST gets read-only access to your email so it can find:

and turn them into package tracking and suggestions for you to review. Nothing is added to your calendar until you approve it, including bills, renewals and packages. Approved events start as private, even if your usual calendar default is Family. GYST searches only for those kinds of emails and reads matching messages to pick out the details. It stores only what it extracts (tracking number, carrier, dates, amount, place, the subject line and a message reference), never whole emails. It never sends, changes or deletes email.

GYST's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

10. Money (optional)

Bank connections (Plaid)

If you link a bank or card, GYST uses Plaid. You sign in to your bank through Plaid; your bank username and password never reach GYST. Plaid's handling of your data is covered by the Plaid End User Privacy Policy. Through Plaid, GYST receives and stores account names, types and last four digits, balances (with a daily history), and up to two years of transactions (dates, merchant, amount, category). If your bank later withdraws a transaction (for example, a pending charge that posts under a new ID), GYST deletes it at the next sync, unless it is on an account you've hidden: then it stays hidden until you unlink the bank. If you link a bank again to replace its connection (to repair it, or to bring in two years of history), GYST moves the old connection's history, names and hidden accounts to the new one, then removes the old connection. The token that lets GYST read your accounts is encrypted.

Your own entries

Budgets, manually tracked assets (like a house or car), loan details and recurring bills you type in. If you turn on automatic values for an asset, the address goes to RentCast, or the vehicle's VIN (and mileage, if you enter it) goes to VinAudit and the U.S. government's free NHTSA decoder. Estimates are labeled as estimates. Stock quotes come from Twelve Data, which receives only ticker symbols.

Protections

Unlinking and withdrawing consent

11. Siri, Shortcuts and notifications

12. Companies that handle your data

These companies run parts of GYST for us, or receive data when you use a feature. They get only what that job needs.

15. Your choices and rights

U.S. state privacy rights

Depending on where you live (for example California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas or Oregon), you may have the right to know what personal information we have about you, get a copy, correct it, delete it, and opt out of its sale, sharing for targeted advertising, or profiling. We don't sell or share personal information for advertising or profiling, so there is nothing to opt out of, and we treat browser opt-out signals (like Global Privacy Control) as a request not to. We won't treat you differently for using your rights.

To make a request, use the in-app tools above or email [email protected] from your account's email address (or have an authorized agent do so). We'll confirm it's you and respond within 30 days. If we turn down a request, you can appeal by replying to our answer, and we'll respond to the appeal within 45 days.

16. Age and children's information

You must be 16 or older to create a GYST account. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child under 16 has an account, email us and we'll delete it.

Parents and guardians can add information about their own children (like names, relationships and birthdays) to organize family life. That information belongs to the parent's account and is deleted with it — unless the parent shares that child with a co-parent in GYST, in which case the child's record and events stay with the co-parent. By adding anyone else's information, including children, family members, friends or imported contacts, you confirm you're allowed to share it with us. Children's names and relationships are included in AI context as described in section 4.

17. Where GYST operates

GYST is offered to people in the United States. Your data is stored and processed in the United States.

18. If something goes wrong

If a security incident exposes your personal information, we'll email you, and tell you in the app, within 72 hours of confirming it. We'll say what happened, what information was involved, what we've done, and what you can do. We'll also notify regulators and partners where the law or our agreements require.

19. Changes to this policy

We'll update this policy when GYST changes how it handles data. For significant changes we'll tell you in the app and by email before they take effect. The version history below lists every change.
