Privacy Policy
Calendar Notifications is a macOS application that provides persistent reminders for upcoming meetings from a user's Google Calendar. This Privacy Policy explains what Google user data Calendar Notifications accesses, how that data is used, how it is stored, and how it is protected.
Google user data accessed by Calendar Notifications
When you connect a Google account, Calendar Notifications accesses only the Google user data needed to provide its meeting-reminder features.
- Google account information: your Google account email address and basic account identity information. This information is obtained through Google's standard identity scopes.
- Google Calendar event data: read-only information about upcoming calendar events, including event titles, start times, event identifiers, and available meeting or event links associated with those events.
Calendar Notifications requests the following Google OAuth scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events.readonlyopenidhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email
Calendar Notifications does not request permission to create, modify, or delete Google Calendar events.
How Calendar Notifications uses Google user data
Calendar Notifications uses Google user data only to provide the application's user-facing calendar reminder functionality:
- Your Google account email address and basic identity information are used to identify and distinguish the Google accounts you connect to Calendar Notifications, including when two Google accounts are connected.
- Calendar event titles and start times are used to determine which upcoming meetings require reminders and to display the meeting name, scheduled time, and countdown in the notification window.
- Calendar event identifiers are used internally to distinguish events and manage reminder state, including dismissals and reminder timing.
- Meeting and event links are used only to let you open the associated meeting or calendar event when you choose to do so.
Google user data is not used for advertising, profiling, or unrelated purposes. Calendar Notifications does not create, modify, or delete Google Calendar events.
Local processing and storage
Google Calendar event data is processed locally on your Mac. Calendar Notifications does not upload Google Calendar event data to a developer-operated backend and does not maintain a server-side database of your calendar events.
Google authorization credentials needed to keep your connected account signed in are stored locally on your Mac using encrypted storage backed by macOS security services. Local application preferences may also store settings and limited account metadata, such as the email address associated with a connected account.
How data is shared
Calendar Notifications does not sell Google user data, share Google user data for advertising, or provide your Google Calendar content to third parties for their own use. The app communicates with Google services only as necessary to authenticate your account and retrieve the Calendar data required for its features.
When you choose to open a meeting or event link, macOS opens that destination outside Calendar Notifications using your system's normal link-handling behavior.
Data retention and deletion
Calendar event data is used for current application functionality and is not maintained as a historical server-side record by Calendar Notifications. Saved Google authorization credentials remain on your Mac while an account is connected.
You can disconnect a Google account from within Calendar Notifications. Disconnecting removes the application's saved local authorization credentials for that account and makes a best-effort request to revoke the associated Google authorization. You can also manage or revoke the app's access from your Google Account.
Security
Calendar Notifications is designed to minimize access to Google user data. It uses read-only Calendar access, encrypts saved Google authorization credentials using macOS-backed secure storage, and keeps Google Calendar processing local to the application rather than sending calendar data to an application-operated backend.
Analytics and advertising
Calendar Notifications does not include a developer-operated analytics or advertising service and does not use Google user data for advertising.
Google API Services
Calendar Notifications' use and transfer of information received from Google APIs complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Google Workspace API data obtained by Calendar Notifications is not used to develop, improve, or train generalized or non-personalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated if Calendar Notifications changes how it accesses or uses information. The current version will remain available at this URL, and the "Last updated" date will be revised when material changes are made.
