Privacy policy in plain words.

What we collect

We do not receive your planning data. PlanWell has no developer-run sync server and does not send us your lessons, events, todos or usage data.

Where your data lives

In Local Markdown mode, PlanWell stores your planning data in Markdown files in a folder you choose.

• Files stay in folders you choose.
• You can use iCloud Drive or another backup method.
• You can open or move the files at any time.

Calendar and Reminders

PlanWell for Mac uses Calendar and Reminders access only when you enable sync and grant permission. This work happens on your Mac, and PlanWell does not send the information to us.

Google Calendar and Tasks

If you connect a Google account, PlanWell reads your calendar list, events in the calendars you select, and the task list you select. It displays them in your timeline and widgets and sends event and task edits directly to Google. PlanWell stores your Google sign-in token in macOS Keychain and keeps a local cache of displayed Google data on your Mac. It does not send Google account data to PlanWell servers or use it for advertising, analytics, or AI training.

You can disconnect Google in PlanWell's settings. This removes PlanWell's locally stored token and calendar and task cache and requests revocation of the Google grant. Your items remain in your Google account. Google handles data in that account under its privacy policy.

Sharing, transfer and disclosure of Google user data

PlanWell does not share, transfer, sell or disclose Google user data to anyone. The developer of PlanWell never receives it, and no person at PlanWell can read it.

• Google data moves only between your Mac and Google's own servers, when PlanWell loads your calendars, events and tasks or saves an edit you made.
• It is not sent to PlanWell servers (there are none), advertisers, data brokers, analytics or AI providers, or any other third party.
• It is not used for advertising, for training AI or machine learning models, or to determine credit-worthiness.
• Inside your Mac, PlanWell shows it in its own widgets and in Shortcuts actions you choose to run. These stay on your device.
• We would only ever disclose Google user data if required by law, and we cannot do so in practice because we never hold it.

How Google user data is protected

• Encryption in transit: all requests to Google go directly from your Mac to Google over HTTPS (TLS).
• Secure sign-in: PlanWell signs in with Google's OAuth 2.0 using PKCE and never sees your Google password.
• Token storage: the Google sign-in token is stored in the macOS Keychain, encrypted by macOS, available only while your Mac is unlocked and never synced to other devices.
• Local storage only: the cache of displayed calendars, events and tasks is kept inside PlanWell's sandboxed app container on your Mac, protected by the App Sandbox, your macOS user account and FileVault disk encryption if you have it turned on.
• Least access: PlanWell requests only calendar events, your calendar list and Google Tasks, the minimum it needs for its features.
• Deletion: disconnecting Google in PlanWell's settings deletes the token and the local cache and asks Google to revoke access. You can also remove access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Google API Services User Data Policy

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