DOIST PRIVACY POLICY

Last modified May 17, 2023 with an effective date of June 17, 2023

This privacy policy ("Policy") informs you of our practices when handling your
Information through the Services (both as defined below). In this Policy,
"Doist," "we," "our" or "us" refers to Doist Inc., a company registered in
Delaware with its registered address located at 251 Little Falls Drive,
Wilmington, DE 19808. When you are using Doist Services in your personal
capacity, we are the data controller under the applicable privacy laws, and this
Policy applies.

When you are using Doist Services as a member of an organization that is a
customer of Doist (for example, when accessing a Todoist for teams workspace
that relates to your employer if that employer is a Doist customer), we are a
data processor under the applicable privacy laws, and that organization is the
data controller. In those circumstances, your organization's privacy policy
applies, and you should refer to its privacy policy for information about its
privacy practices. For clarity, we are not responsible for the privacy practices
of third parties. Please be aware that this Policy does not apply to your
activities or any Information that you disclose to your organization, when that
organization is the data controller.

For the purpose of this Policy, "Information" means any information relating to
an identified or identifiable individual. This includes information you provide
or generated when you use: (a) our apps, including Todoist and Twist (each an
"App" and collectively the "Apps"); and (b) doist.com and any other dedicated
Doist websites, such as todoist.com and twist.com which link to this policy
("Website" and together with the "Apps" the "Services"). When you use the
Services, you accept and understand we collect, process, use and store your
Information as described in this Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy,
you must not use any of the Services. If you change your mind in the future, you
must stop using the Services and you may exercise your rights in relation to
your Information as set out in this Policy.

5. WHERE WE STORE YOUR INFORMATION

Your Information will be processed by our employees and service providers in the
U.S. If you choose to use our Services from the European Economic Area ("EEA"),
the United Kingdom ("UK") or other regions of the world with laws governing data
collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are
transferring your Information outside of those regions to the U.S. for storage
and processing. We may transfer Information from the EEA or the UK to the U.S.
and other third countries based on European Commission-approved or UK
Government-approved Standard Contractual Clauses, or otherwise in accordance

6. HOW LONG WE STORE YOUR INFORMATION

Your Information is kept for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes set

Services provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you,
possible re-enrollment with our Services, the impact on the Services we provide
to you if we delete some Information from or about you, and mandatory retention
periods provided by law and the statute of limitations. Generally, we also
delete your Information following a valid erasure request (see below Your
Rights: Erasure section). Some Information we collect will be stored for longer
where we have an overriding legitimate interest to retain such Information (for

   retain some of your Information where there are valid grounds for us to do so
   under data protection laws. For example, for the defence of legal claims,
   respect freedom of expression, or where we have an overriding legitimate
   interest to do so.
   
   Note that where the Information is held by a third party data controller,
   such as a payment processor, we will use reasonable steps to inform them of
   your request, but we recommend you contact them directly in accordance with
   their own privacy policies to ensure your personal data is erased.
