Calendar Catcher Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 12, 2026

Calendar Catcher turns text messages, emails, photos of flyers or tickets, and voice recordings into calendar events, reminders, tasks, or emails. This page explains what information the app handles to do that, and how.

What the app reads from you, and why

Whatever you paste, photograph, dictate, or share into it. This is the content the app exists to process — a text message, a photo of a flyer, a voice note, a shared email. It's sent to an AI service (see "AI extraction" below) to pull out event details like title, date, time, and location.
Your device calendar. With your permission, the app reads your existing calendars (to list them and check for conflicts) and writes new events to whichever calendar you choose.
Microphone audio, only while you're actively dictating — converted to text on your device and then handled like any other typed input.
Photos you choose or take through the app's own photo/camera picker — never your full photo library without you explicitly picking an image.
Location, only in Snap & Send and only while "Include location" is on — the place a photo was taken is added as a map link to the message you send. It is not sent to us.

Connected accounts (Microsoft and Google)

Connecting a Microsoft or Google account is optional, and only used for the features you explicitly turn on:

Calendar — creating, and later deleting, the specific events you add through the app on that account's calendars.
Mail — sending an email on your behalf only when you tap something like "Email me a summary" or a similar explicit action. The app never reads your inbox.
Tasks — creating tasks in Microsoft To Do / Google Tasks when you choose to add something as a task instead of a calendar event.
Contacts — searching your connected account's own contacts/frequent collaborators, only to suggest names as you type an attendee's email into the invite field. The app doesn't read, store, or otherwise use your address book beyond that live search.

You can disconnect either account at any time from the app's Settings screen, which stops all of the above immediately.

AI extraction

To turn your text, photo, or audio into structured event details, the app sends that content to an AI provider — currently Anthropic; Google Gemini or OpenAI may be used instead — through our own backend relay (a Cloudflare Worker).

Our relay does not store or log the content you send through it — it forwards your request to the AI provider and returns the result. Each AI provider processes that content under its own privacy policy and terms:

Free reads and subscriptions

The free plan includes a number of AI reads each month. To count them, our relay keeps a running count per month against an identifier: your email address if the app has one (typed in, or from a connected account), otherwise a random ID created on your phone. Only the count is kept, never what you sent.

Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play); we never see your payment details. We use RevenueCat to check whether you have an active subscription. RevenueCat receives a random account ID (on Android, a one-way scrambled form of the email you entered — never the address itself), the name you typed under “Your name” in setup (so we can find your account to help with your plan), and the purchase records Apple or Google provide, under RevenueCat's privacy policy. Settings shows this Account ID so we can help if something goes wrong with your plan.

What stays on your device

The people/roster list (names, relationships, aliases you've taught the app to recognize), your preferences, your recent-invitee list, and your undo/add history are all stored locally on your device, not on our servers. Uninstalling the app removes all of it.

What we don't do

We don't sell your data, to anyone, ever.
We don't use your calendar, contacts, or captured content for advertising.
We don't access your accounts for anything beyond the specific action you took (adding an event, sending a summary you asked for, etc.).

Children's privacy

Calendar Catcher is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change too. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
