2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

2.1 Calendar Data

Calendar data is used solely to:

  • Identify upcoming events

All calendar data is processed locally on your device. We do not transmit, store, or share your calendar events with any third parties.

2.3 Data Processing

All data processing occurs on your device. We do not use analytics services, advertising networks, or any third-party services that collect or analyze your personal information.

3. DATA STORAGE AND SYNCHRONIZATION

3.1 Local Storage

All calendar data and alarm settings are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. This data remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

3.2 CloudKit Synchronization

Your alarm settings and preferences (not your calendar events) are synchronized across your Apple devices using Apple's CloudKit service. This synchronization:

  • Requires you to be signed in to iCloud
  • Uses end-to-end encryption provided by Apple
  • Is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

We do not have access to your CloudKit data. All synchronization is handled by Apple's secure infrastructure.
