🔒 Your Privacy is Our Priority
Calendaromatic is designed with privacy-first principles. As a local desktop application, we minimize data collection and prioritize keeping your information on your device.
1. Introduction
Welcome to Calendaromatic ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Windows calendar application ("Calendaromatic" or the "App").
By using Calendaromatic, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not use the App.

4. Data Storage and Security
4.1 Local Storage
Your calendar data is stored locally in encrypted format on your Windows device. We use industry-standard AES-256 encryption to protect your data at rest. The encryption keys are generated and stored locally on your device.
4.2 Data Backup
Calendaromatic provides optional backup features:
- Local backups are stored in your designated folder
- Cloud backup integration (if enabled) uses your chosen cloud service
- We never have access to your backup data
- Backup encryption uses the same security standards as local storage
4.3 Network Security
When Calendaromatic connects to the internet (for holiday updates only), we use:
- HTTPS encryption for all data transfers
- Certificate pinning to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
- Minimal data transmission (only necessary update information)
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
✅ We Never Sell Your Data
Calendaromatic will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
We may share anonymous, aggregated data in the following situations:
- Service Providers: With trusted partners who help us operate the app (e.g., crash reporting services)
- Legal Requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition (users will be notified)

6. Your Privacy Rights
You have complete control over your data:

7. Children's Privacy
Calendaromatic is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The app operates primarily with local data storage, minimizing any privacy concerns for younger users when supervised by parents or guardians.
8. International Data Transfers
As Calendaromatic stores data locally on your device, there are no international data transfers of your personal calendar information. Holiday database updates are retrieved from servers that may be located in different countries, but these transfers contain no personal data.

Calendaromatic may integrate with optional third-party services:
- Cloud Storage Providers: If you enable cloud backup (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox)
