Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Commitment
- At Smart Calendars AI, privacy is a core feature.
- We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
- We collect only the data we truly need to deliver our scheduling services.
- Your content is never used to train AI models.
- We design our systems to keep your information secure and temporary.
This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, how it's used, and the choices you have.
1. Information We Collect and Why
- Account Details β Your email and name to set up and sign in to your account (via Apple, Google, or email). This is used for subscription management and our business logic (free tier vs subscription access). Without providing this minimal data, our services cannot be used.
- Subscriptions & Payments β Payment details are handled by our trusted partners (Apple for iOS, Stripe for web). We receive subscription status updates (active, canceled, etc.) to control access.
- Calendar or Reminder Content β The text or images you submit are temporarily stored so we can extract events/reminders for you. Temporary storage of your processed results and optional Calendar Links you create for sharing. You choose how long these links stay active.
- Security & Reliability Logs β Minimal technical details (like IP address) to detect abuse and keep the service stable. These logs are automatically deleted after a short period.
- Website Analytics β Basic, privacy-friendly analytics through Matomo, which helps us understand overall usage trends without tracking you across the web.
2. How Your Data Moves Through Our Service
- AI Processing β We use OpenAI's API to process your submitted content. Our service provider does not use your data to train its models. This processing is not automated decision-making under GDPR Article 22, as it requires your active input and you control the results.
- Result Storage β Results are stored temporary until access by the user. Calendar Links expire based on the time you select. Once expired, they are removed from the server.
- Calendar Link Storage β Keeps the original link, expiration date, minimal technical details for security.
- Security Logs β Automatically deleted after a short retention period (about 72 hours).
3. Cookies & Similar Tools
- Essential Cookies β Needed for sign-in and security.
- Analytics Cookies β Matomo may set a cookie to help us measure site performance. You can opt out at any time through our Tracking Preferences page.
4. Legal Bases for Processing (EU/EEA/UK)
- Contract β To deliver the service you request (e.g., process your calendar data, manage your account).
- Legitimate Interests β To maintain security, prevent abuse, and understand service performance.
- Consent β For any optional analytics or marketing (if applicable).

7. How Long We Keep Information
- Calendar results β Up to 15 minutes, then deleted.
- Calendar Links β Kept until the expiration you choose.
- Logs β Deleted after about 72 hours.
