Privacy policy

Last updated: March 2026


1. Who we are

Planvex is operated by Spatial Connect Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (Company No: 16709989).

Contact: hello@spatialconnect.app Website: https://planvex.vercel.app

Spatial Connect Limited is the sole data controller for personal data processed through Planvex. Directors, employees, shareholders, consultants, and agents of Spatial Connect Limited are not data controllers in their personal capacity. Any data protection rights, requests, or complaints must be directed to the company as a legal entity, not to any individual.


2. What this policy covers

This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use Planvex, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. It also discloses specific data handling practices around our AI chat assistant, deep research feature, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, which are material to how your project data may be processed.

By using Planvex you confirm you have read this policy.


3. Data we collect

3.1 Account data

When you create an account we collect:

  • Your name, email address, GitHub username, and profile avatar, provided via GitHub authentication
  • A GitHub access token, used to access repositories you authorise for import or planning features (scope: repo)
  • Authentication tokens and session identifiers used to keep you signed in
  • Account preferences and settings

3.2 Project and content data

All content you create inside Planvex is stored in our database. This includes:

  • Project and workspace names
  • Personal names of account holders and team members referenced in tasks or assignments
  • Tasks: titles, descriptions, priorities, labels, assignments, status, effort estimates, comments
  • Specs: titles, descriptions, linked tasks
  • Notes: rich text content you write in the notes editor
  • Labels, folders, and any other organisational structure you create
  • File attachments or links you add to tasks or notes

3.3 AI conversation data

When you use the AI chat assistant:

  • Every message you send to the assistant is stored in our database
  • Every response the assistant generates is stored in our database
  • Conversation history is retained while your account is active and may be summarised ("compacted") or deleted for performance reasons
  • Messages are transmitted to Anthropic's API to generate AI responses, or to OpenRouter's API when the deep research feature is invoked (see section 5.1)

You are responsible for not including sensitive, confidential, or regulated information (such as financial data, health data, passwords, or third-party confidential information) in AI chat messages.

3.4 MCP access data

Planvex provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows authenticated third-party AI tools to access your project data programmatically. When an MCP-connected tool accesses your data we log:

  • The tool or client identifier
  • The type of action performed (read, create, update, delete)
  • The timestamp of access
  • The resource type accessed (e.g. tasks, notes, epics)

These logs are retained for 90 days.

3.5 Technical and usage data

We and our infrastructure providers automatically collect:

  • IP address and approximate location derived from IP
  • Device type, operating system, and browser
  • Pages visited, features used, and interaction patterns within the app
  • Error and crash reports
  • API request logs

4. How we use your data

4.1 Legal bases

We process your data under the following legal bases:

PurposeLegal basis
Creating and managing your accountContract performance
Providing the Planvex service (task management, notes, specs)Contract performance
Transmitting messages to the AI chat assistantContract performance
Fraud prevention and abuse detectionLegitimate interests
Service security and integrity monitoringLegitimate interests
Improving and developing the serviceLegitimate interests
Usage analytics (pages visited, features used)Legitimate interests
PostHog/Intercom data for AI planning recommendationsConsent
Compliance with legal obligationsLegal obligation

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have assessed that our interests do not override your rights and freedoms. You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests (see section 10).

4.2 Specific uses

We use your data to:

  • Authenticate you and maintain your session
  • Store and retrieve your project data on demand
  • Generate AI responses to your chat messages via the Anthropic API, or via OpenRouter's API for deep research queries
  • Enable third-party AI tools to access your data via MCP when you have authenticated them
  • Detect and prevent unauthorised access, abuse, and fraud
  • Debug errors and maintain service stability
  • Communicate service updates, security notices, and (where you have not opted out) product announcements

We do not use your data for advertising. We do not sell personal data.


5. AI features and data processing

5.1 AI features (Anthropic / Claude and deep research)

The Planvex AI chat assistant is powered by Anthropic's Claude API. When you send a message in the chat:

  • Your message, along with relevant conversation history and project context, is transmitted to Anthropic's servers in the United States
  • Anthropic processes this data to generate a response, which is then returned to Planvex and stored in your conversation history
  • Anthropic does not use data submitted via its API to train its models. We recommend reviewing Anthropic's privacy policy for their full retention practices
  • We have no control over Anthropic's internal data handling once data is transmitted to their API

Planvex also includes a deep research feature, available in both the AI chat assistant and via MCP. When deep research is triggered, your query and relevant context are transmitted to OpenRouter's API, which routes the request to one or more third-party AI model providers. The specific models used may vary as we update the composition to reflect the latest available models. You should assume that any data included in a deep research query may be processed by multiple AI providers.

You are solely responsible for what you include in AI chat messages. Do not include passwords, payment card data, medical records, legal privileged information, or any other sensitive or regulated data in AI conversations. Spatial Connect Limited accepts no liability for any consequences arising from such disclosures.

5.2 MCP server and third-party AI tool access

Planvex operates an MCP server that enables authenticated third-party AI tools - including Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and ChatGPT - to read and modify your Planvex project data programmatically.

What MCP access means:

  • When you authenticate a third-party AI tool via the Planvex MCP server, that tool gains the ability to read your tasks, epics, notes, and comments, and to create and update that data on your behalf
  • The data accessed by the tool is transmitted to and processed by the third-party AI provider operating that tool (e.g. Anthropic for Claude Code, Google for Gemini CLI, OpenAI for ChatGPT)
  • Each third-party provider's own privacy policy governs how they handle data accessed via their AI tools

Your responsibilities:

  • You are responsible for deciding which AI tools to authenticate via MCP
  • You are responsible for revoking MCP access from tools you no longer use or trust
  • Once you grant a tool MCP access, Spatial Connect Limited cannot prevent that tool from reading or acting on your data until you revoke access

Our liability:

Spatial Connect Limited is not responsible for:

  • How third-party AI tools use, retain, or disclose data they access via MCP
  • Any data modifications (including accidental deletions or overwrites) made by third-party AI tools acting with your granted permission
  • Breaches, leaks, or misuse of data by third-party AI tool providers
  • Any actions taken by AI tools during autonomous AI agent operation, including downstream actions outside Planvex (such as code commits, command execution, or infrastructure deployment) based on data obtained from the Service

If you believe an MCP-connected tool has acted improperly, revoke its access immediately and contact hello@spatialconnect.app.

5.3 PostHog and Intercom integrations (optional)

You may optionally connect your PostHog analytics account and Intercom support account to enhance AI planning recommendations. When connected:

  • Your PostHog API key and Intercom access token are stored in your browser's local storage only and are not retained on Planvex's servers
  • When you use the AI planning assistant, Planvex queries your PostHog and Intercom accounts to retrieve analytics data and support conversation summaries
  • This data is transmitted to Anthropic's API or, where deep research is invoked, to OpenRouter's API, as context for generating recommendations (see section 5.1)
  • You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the right to share data from these platforms, including any personal data of your own users or customers that may be contained within them
  • You can disconnect at any time by removing your API keys from the integration settings in the planning assistant

5.4 Autonomous AI agent operation

AI tools connected via the MCP server may operate autonomously or without active human supervision. When AI tools operate in this mode:

  • Actions taken by AI tools during autonomous operation (including creating, modifying, or deleting project data) are treated as actions taken by the user who authenticated the tool
  • Spatial Connect Limited has no ability to monitor, interrupt, or reverse actions taken by autonomous AI tools during operation
  • Any downstream actions taken outside the Service by AI tools (such as code commits, command execution, or infrastructure deployment) based on data obtained from Planvex are the sole responsibility of the user who authenticated the tool
  • Users are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and legality of all project data accessed by MCP-connected AI tools during autonomous operation

Spatial Connect Limited is not responsible for any loss, damage, or unintended outcome arising from autonomous AI agent operation, regardless of the duration or scope of the autonomous session.

5.5 Regulated industries and compliance

Planvex is a general-purpose project management tool and is not designed, intended, or certified for use in regulated environments (including healthcare, financial services, defence, or critical infrastructure) where AI-driven decisions have legal or compliance implications. If you use Planvex in such environments, you are solely responsible for ensuring all AI-generated outputs are independently verified by qualified personnel and for complying with all applicable regulatory obligations. Spatial Connect Limited is not liable for regulatory violations, compliance failures, or fines arising from use of Planvex in regulated contexts.
