Privacy Policy for CALarm

Last updated: September 29, 2026

Summary

CALarm is a calendar-aware alarm app for iOS 26. We do not sell your data. Alarm preferences stay on your device. If you connect Google Calendar, CALarm reads events directly from Google’s API using your account — we do not operate CALarm servers for calendar storage.

Information we access

Calendar events (EventKit). With your permission, CALarm reads upcoming events from calendars on your device (iCloud, Exchange, and calendars synced through iOS Settings). This data is processed on your device and is not uploaded to us.

Google Calendar (optional). If you choose “Connect Google Calendar,” CALarm uses Google Sign-In to read upcoming events from the Google Calendar API. Requests go directly from your device to Google. We do not receive or store your Google credentials on CALarm servers.

Alarms. CALarm uses Apple’s AlarmKit framework to schedule countdown alarms and Live Activities. Alarm scheduling is handled by iOS on your device.

Alarm preferences. Per-event alarm settings, default alarm offset, snooze duration, theme choices, and Google calendar toggles are stored locally on your device using iOS storage (UserDefaults).

Google user data

CALarm requests read-only access to Google Calendar (calendar.readonly) for one purpose: to show your upcoming events and schedule alarms for them on your device. Event data is used only inside the app on your iPhone. It is never sent to CALarm or any other server, sold, used for advertising, or read by people. Disconnecting Google Calendar in the app's settings, or removing CALarm at myaccount.google.com/permissions, ends access.

CALarm does not use Google user data to develop, improve, or train generalized or non-personalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models, and does not transfer it to anyone who does.

CALarm's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

How we protect your data

CALarm protects the confidentiality of your calendar data and Google account access with these safeguards:

• Encryption in transit. Every request to Google is made over HTTPS (TLS) directly from your iPhone to Google’s servers. CALarm allows no unencrypted network connections.
• Encrypted token storage. The OAuth tokens that let CALarm read your Google Calendar are stored in the iOS Keychain, Apple’s encrypted credential store, by Google’s official Sign-In SDK. CALarm never sees or stores your Google password.
• Encryption at rest. Event details CALarm needs to schedule alarms (such as titles and times) and your settings are kept only in CALarm’s private app storage, which iOS isolates from other apps and encrypts using iOS Data Protection.
• No servers, no copies. CALarm has no backend. Your Google data is never uploaded to, stored on, or accessible from any server we operate, and no person at CALarm can read it.
• Least privilege. CALarm requests only read-only Calendar access. It cannot create, change, or delete your events, and it cannot access your email, contacts, or other Google data.

Information we do not collect

• We do not operate user accounts.
• We do not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.
• We do not track you across apps or websites.

Data sharing

We do not share your personal information with third parties. Google processes Calendar API requests when you connect Google Calendar, under Google’s Privacy Policy. Apple processes App Store distribution and TestFlight under Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Data retention

CALarm keeps data on your device only for as long as it needs it to show upcoming events and ring their alarms. Choosing “Disconnect” for Google Calendar in CALarm’s settings deletes your Google sign-in tokens and Google sync data from the device. Deleting the app deletes everything CALarm has stored. To end Google’s authorization entirely, remove CALarm at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Because we hold no copy of your data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side; you can email us with any question about your data.

Your choices

You can deny or revoke calendar access in Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars → CALarm. You can manage alarm permissions in Settings → CALarm.

Children

CALarm is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date will change when we do.
