AI Calendar: Why Privacy Matters
Your calendar data is sensitive by default. It reveals where you'll be, who you'll meet, and how you spend your time. The question isn't whether you're "hiding anything"—it's who gets a copy of your life and what they do with it.
The Quiet Risks Hiding in Plain Sight
Calendar data isn't just dates and titles. It's a living pattern:
- Personal rhythms: work hours, commute windows, social routines
- Sensitive contacts: clients, doctors, family events
- Location patterns: frequent venues and travel gaps
- Behavioral traces: feature usage, interaction timing, RSVP habits
Each item seems harmless. Combined, they can profile your life—from when you're likely out of the house to who influences your decisions. That's why calendar privacy isn't a "nice to have." It's table stakes.
Our Privacy-First Design
Smart Calendars AI is built to be helpful without being invasive:
- Purpose‑bound processing: Images, and text are sent to our API server to create events or reminders. We process only what's needed, then discard it.
- No model training on your content: Your personal data is never used to train models.
- Transparent, purpose‑bound permissions: Access to Camera, Location and Microphone is opt‑in and scoped to the action you requested.
- Bring your own provider: Works with Apple, Google, and Outlook so you don't have to move data into yet another silo.
Principle we live by: Data in, value out—no extra copies.
How Processing Works
Think of the system as a secure, disposable workspace for each task:
- Capture: You dictate "Lunch with Maya next Thursday at 12," snap a photo of an invite, or paste text.
- Temporary parse: Our AI extracts title, time, attendees, and location.
- User confirmation: You preview, edit, and save. No guessing. No auto-sending.
- Write-back: The final event is saved to your calendar.
- Cleanup: Temporary artifacts are discarded; nothing is retained beyond what you saved.
Security That Matters in Practice
Security isn't a slide in a pitch deck—it's the daily defaults:
- Encryption everywhere: TLS in transit; industry-standard encryption for data at rest.
- Least-privilege integrations: OAuth with fine-grained scopes; we only request data that we genuinely need.
- Compliance by design: Built with privacy principles aligned to GDPR/DSGVO/RGPD.
What "Zero Data Retention" Means Here
Clear commitments:
- We don't store your personal content on our servers beyond temporary processing required to complete a request you initiated.
- We don't build profiles and sell data.
- After a task is done, there's nothing left to repurpose.
You keep the benefits of AI—powered processing without turning your data into a product. Privacy isn't necessarily about going offline; it's about choosing tools designed for your interests.
