What data is stored by the app?​

When you set a reminder

  • The reminder text that you set
  • Date and time information for when the reminder should occur
  • Your name (your name is transmitted by Teams and the app stores it as part of your user identity. The name is used when reminders are listed, for example "User A set a reminder for this group chat", "User A set a reminder for user B", etc.)
  • When you set a reminder for someone else by @ mentioning them, the app tries to get the name for this user so that it can be displayed in the list of reminders.
  • If you set the reminder in a channel, the names of the team and channel are stored to show them in your list of reminders.

When you set a reminder on a message by hovering over it and clicking the ellipsis (⋯)

  • The name of the user that sent the message (displayed in your list of reminders, for example "A message from user B". This only works if the bot is part of the group chat or channel where the original message was sent).
  • Part of the message, so that it can be displayed as a preview.

I don't trust you. Will this app read all my organization's data?​

In the Microsoft universe, access to your tenant's data is regulated by permissions. You or your admin have to actively give the app permission (permission reference by Microsoft) to read or write any data like user information, calendar data, etc. Remind only requires the most basic permission to read the current user's information so that they can be logged into the Reminders tab. No other permissions are required.
