Pickle is built stateless. The only thing I store is your email and Pickle key, captured when you sign up. Your ClickUp / Slack / Microsoft Teams tokens only travel through a single HTTPS request to call those platforms on your behalf — never written to disk, never logged. Your task or chat content never lands on a Pickle disk.
Pickle is built and operated by Aditya Sharma, a solo founder based in Kolkata, India. Contact for any privacy question: [email protected]. I am the Data Fiduciary (under India's DPDP Act 2023) and Data Controller (under GDPR if you are in the EU).
| Field | Why | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | To send your Beta key + occasional product updates | Until you ask me to delete it |
| Pickle key (generated by us) | Authentication for MCP requests | Lifetime of your account |
| IP address | Rate-limiting (5 signups/hour/IP), spam prevention | Stored with the signup record |
| User-agent string | Debugging + abuse detection | Stored with the signup record |
| Intent (Free or Pro waitlist) | To segment which list you go on | Stored with the signup record |
| Signup timestamp | Audit + analytics | Stored with the signup record |
Every time your Claude / Cursor / Codex / Cline calls Pickle's MCP endpoint, the request carries your Pickle key plus one or more platform tokens (ClickUp pk_…, Slack xoxp-…, Microsoft Graph bearer).
What I do log per request: a counter (number of MCP requests this key has made), a "first seen" / "last seen" timestamp for that key. This drives the "active install" KPI in the admin dashboard and is keyed only to the Pickle key (not your work content).
| Service | What it sees | Where |
|---|---|---|
| ZeptoMail (Zoho) | Your email address to deliver the welcome email with your Pickle key | India / EU data centers |
| Brevo (Sendinblue) | Your email + signup metadata for marketing automation | EU (Paris) |
| Cloudflare | Routes HTTPS traffic to Pickle's server. May log IP at the edge. | Global edge network |
| Hetzner Cloud | Hosts Pickle's server in Germany | Falkenstein, Germany (EU) |
| ClickUp, Slack, Microsoft Graph | Receive Pickle's API requests made with YOUR token, on YOUR behalf. Your existing relationship with them governs that data. | Per each platform's terms |
Regardless of where you are based, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these, email [email protected]. I respond direct.
While Pickle is in Beta and free, I keep your signup record for as long as the account exists or until you ask me to delete it. When you delete your account, the email + Pickle key + usage counter are removed from signups.json on the server and from Brevo's list within 7 days.
Per-request token data has a retention period of zero — it lives inside one HTTPS request, then disappears.
Pickle is for managers and team leads using ClickUp, Slack, and Microsoft Teams in a professional context. It is not directed at children under 18. I do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has signed up, email me and I will delete the account.
Pickle's server lives in Germany (EU). If you sign up from India or anywhere else, your signup data is transferred to that server. Brevo stores in the EU. ZeptoMail routes via Zoho's India / EU infrastructure. All transfers are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+).
That said, no online service is invulnerable. If you suspect a breach involving your data, email me immediately at [email protected].
If I change anything material — what data I collect, who I share it with, retention windows — I will update the "Last updated" date at the top and email everyone on the signup list at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
For everything privacy-related, email [email protected]. I am the only person who reads it.
