How Mallory Processes Your Messages
When your family texts Mallory, we process those messages to understand what to-dos to add, update, or complete. We only retain the to-do details and the messages needed to manage your family's shared list. Mallory does not read your other apps, email, or calendar.
Best Practice: A Dedicated To-do Chat
We recommend texting Mallory in a dedicated to-do group chat rather than your general family chit-chat conversations. This approach:
- •Keeps your casual conversations private
- •Reduces noise and helps Mallory understand your to-dos
- •Makes it easier to find to-do-related messages
- •Gives you better control over what Mallory sees
Use a separate SMS group just for managing your family's shared to-do list.

- •Correction: Update or correct any inaccurate information
- •Deletion: Request deletion of your account and all associated data
