Overview
ownCal is designed to keep your calendar information on your device. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use the ownCal application, website, documentation, and related services.
The short version: ownCal does not require an account, does not sell personal information, and does not use your calendar content for advertising.
Calendar data
With your permission, the app accesses calendars available through the calendar provider on your device so it can display, create, edit, and delete events at your direction. This may include event titles, dates, times, locations, notes, attendees, calendar names, and related metadata.
ownCal processes this information locally. We do not operate a cloud calendar-sync service and do not receive or store your calendar content on our servers. Your operating system or chosen calendar provider may separately sync that information under its own privacy policy.
Settings and device data
App preferences such as appearance, week layout, time format, and menu-bar settings are stored locally on your device. The app may also use system-provided information needed to operate, such as locale, time zone, operating-system version, and permission status.
We do not use this information to build advertising profiles or track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
Website and technical data
When you visit our website, our hosting and security providers may process standard technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, timestamps, and error or security logs. This is used to deliver the site, prevent abuse, diagnose problems, and maintain reliability.
The site may store your language choice in your browser. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.
Diagnostics and communications
If you choose to share a crash report, diagnostic report, support request, or other message, we process the information you provide to investigate the issue and respond. Please avoid including sensitive calendar details unless necessary.
Apple or another distribution platform may provide us with limited, aggregated, or diagnostic information under your device and platform settings. Their practices are governed by their own privacy policies.
Retention and security
Calendar content and app preferences remain under your control on your device and within your selected providers. You can remove calendar access in system settings and uninstall the app to remove its local data, subject to normal operating-system backup behavior.
Technical logs and support communications are retained only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, legal obligations, and dispute resolution. We use reasonable safeguards, but no storage or transmission method is completely secure.
Your choices and rights
- Grant or revoke calendar, notification, and other permissions in system settings.
- Manage or delete events through your calendar provider.
- Clear locally stored website data through your browser.
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold, where applicable.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights and the right to contact your local data-protection authority. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.
Children’s privacy
The Service is not directed to children under the minimum age required to consent to data processing in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the Service.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the Service or applicable requirements change. We will publish the revised policy here and update the “Last updated” date.
