Is my Google Docs data secure when connected to Google Tasks?

Can I sync data both ways between Google Docs and Google Tasks?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Google Docs or Google Tasks. For example, create a workflow where Google Docs events update Google Tasks, and a separate one where Google Tasks changes sync back to Google Docs. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
