Smart Planner

Last Updated: February 15, 2024

Introduction

Welcome to Smart Planner. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you use our app.

Key Point: Smart Planner is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or share your personal calendar data or reminders.

Information We Collect

Information We DO NOT Collect

  • Calendar Data: We do not read, store, or access your existing calendar events
  • Reminder Data: We do not read, store, or access your existing reminders
  • Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other personal identifiers
  • Location Data: We do not track your physical location
  • Contacts: We do not access your contact list

Information We Process Temporarily

  • Text Input: Your natural language input is sent to our AI service (DeepSeek) for parsing. This data is processed in real-time and is not stored permanently
  • Usage Statistics: We track the number of AI parses you've used to enforce subscription limits. This is stored locally on your device

How We Use Your Information

AI Parsing

When you submit text for AI parsing:

  • Your input is sent to DeepSeek API for natural language processing
  • The AI extracts events and tasks from your text
  • Results are returned to your device
  • No data is stored on our servers

Calendar and Reminder Creation

When you save parsed results:

  • Events are created directly in your Apple Calendar
  • Tasks are created directly in your Apple Reminders
  • All data stays on your device and in your iCloud (if enabled)
  • We never access this data after creation

Permissions We Request

Calendar Access

Why we need it: To create calendar events based on your input

What we do: Write-only access to create events

What we don't do: Read your existing calendar data

Reminders Access

Why we need it: To create reminder tasks based on your input

What we do: Write-only access to create reminders

Important: Without these permissions, Smart Planner cannot function. However, we only use them to create new items when you explicitly request it.

Third-Party AI Service & Data Sharing

Important Notice: When you use AI parsing features, your text input is sent to a third-party AI service (DeepSeek). Please read this section carefully to understand what data is shared and how it's protected.

DeepSeek AI Service

We use DeepSeek's AI service to intelligently parse your natural language input and create calendar events and reminders.

What Data We Send to DeepSeek

When you click the "Parse" button, we send the following data to DeepSeek:

  • Your Text Input: The tasks and events you want to create (e.g., "Meeting tomorrow at 3pm, finish report by Friday")
  • Language Setting: Your preferred language to help the AI understand your input better

What Data We DO NOT Send to DeepSeek

  • ❌ Personal information (name, email, phone number)
  • ❌ Device location or IP address
  • ❌ Existing calendar events or reminders
  • ❌ Contacts or other device data
  • ❌ Any data not directly related to the text you input

How Your Data is Protected

  • Secure Transmission: All data is transmitted via HTTPS encryption
  • No Permanent Storage: We do not store your input text on our servers
  • Processing Only: DeepSeek processes your text and returns structured data (events and tasks)
  • Third-Party Privacy: DeepSeek processes data according to their privacy policy

  • Choose not to use AI parsing features
  • Manually create events and reminders without AI
  • Review DeepSeek's privacy policy before agreeing
