2. What the App Does

Calendar Widget is a home screen widget application that displays upcoming events from your device calendar. It offers multiple widget layouts (Month + Agenda, Agenda only, Month only). If you grant Contacts permission, it can also display birthdays/anniversaries from contacts.

3. Data We Collect

A. Data you provide to us

• Support communications (optional): If you email us (including sending an optional crash/error report), we receive your email address, message content, and any information you choose to include.

B. Data processed automatically via the App and third-party services

The App may collect or generate certain identifiers and technical data, and may share some of this data with service providers that help us operate and improve the App.

• Device and app information: Such as device model/manufacturer, operating system version, app version, and language/locale settings.
• Analytics events / in-app interactions: Such as widget interaction events and related usage metrics.
• Diagnostics and crash data: Such as performance diagnostics and crash/exception information (e.g., exception types). Some crash details are only sent if you choose to email them to us (see Section 6).
• Purchase and licensing information: Such as purchase tokens/transaction IDs/product IDs used to verify your purchase and enable paid features.

C. Data accessed locally on your device (not transmitted by the App)

• Calendar data (read-only): The App reads your device calendar events to display them in widgets. This data is stored/used locally on your device and is not transmitted by the App to our servers.
• Contacts birthdays/anniversaries (optional): If you grant Contacts permission, the App can read relevant dates to display them. This data is stored/used locally on your device and is not transmitted by the App to our servers.
• Widget configuration/settings: Stored locally on your device (and can be exported/imported by you).

D. Information we do not collect

We do not require account registration. We do not show ads. We do not intentionally collect precise location, photos, microphone audio or SMS/call logs.

4. How We Use Information

• Provide core functionality: Display your calendar events in widgets; display optional birthdays/anniversaries when enabled.
• License verification and purchase enablement: Confirm purchase status and enable paid features; prevent fraud/abuse.
• Analytics and product improvement: Understand feature usage (e.g., widget interactions), prioritize improvements, and evaluate performance across devices/versions.
• Reliability and performance monitoring: Diagnose crashes and performance issues; improve stability.
• Customer support: Respond to inquiries and investigate issues you report.

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share limited information with service providers that help us operate the App, and we may disclose information when required by law.

A. Service providers (processors)

B. Legal and safety

We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of our users, the public, or us.

6. Voluntary Error Reporting by Email

The App includes a user-initiated error reporting feature. When an unhandled exception occurs, the App may prompt you (e.g., via a notification) to send an error report email using your email client. The App does not automatically send this email; you can review it and choose whether to send it.

If you choose to send the email, the report may include technical details such as crash date/time, app version/build info, device model/manufacturer/Android version, install date, locale settings, widget IDs/types, permission statuses, license status, stack trace, and limited recent log entries. We use this information to diagnose and fix bugs.

7. Permissions

• Calendar (READ_CALENDAR): Required to read and display calendar events in the widget.
• Contacts (READ_CONTACTS) (optional): Used only if you enable/display contact birthdays/anniversaries.
• Internet (INTERNET) and Network State (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Used for analytics, remote configuration fetches, and license/purchase verification.
• Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS) (Android 13+): Used to show error notifications (e.g., calendar access issues).

8. Your Choices and Controls

• Permission controls: You can grant or revoke Calendar/Contacts permissions at any time in Android Settings. If you revoke a permission, the corresponding feature may not work.
• Uninstall: Uninstalling the App removes locally stored App data from your device.
• Export/Import settings: The App provides a way to export and import widget settings for backup/restore.
• Analytics controls: Depending on your device and App configuration, you may be able to limit certain analytics collection (for example, by disabling analytics collection where offered, or by using Google privacy controls). You can also contact us with questions about available opt-out options.

9. Data Retention

• On-device data: Stored until you uninstall the App (or clear the App's storage).
• Analytics/diagnostics data: Retained according to the analytics provider's retention settings (noted as 14 months in our current configuration).
• Purchase/license records: Retained as needed to verify license status and enable paid features, and as required for legal/accounting purposes.
• Support emails: Retained as long as needed to address your request and for recordkeeping.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect information. This includes encryption in transit (HTTPS) for network communications and access controls for systems that store data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. International Data Transfers

The App is offered globally. Some information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States (e.g., Google/Firebase services) and Germany (where we host a backend server used for purchase/license verification records). We do not store calendar or contacts content on this server.

12. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the context:

• Performance of a contract (to provide App features you request, including paid features you purchase).
• Legitimate interests (to maintain, improve, and secure the App, and understand how it is used).
• Consent (where required, for optional data processing such as certain analytics; you may withdraw consent where applicable).
• Legal obligation (to comply with applicable laws, accounting/tax, or lawful requests).
