Privacy at Flexibits

What personal information we collect

• When you create a Flexibits Account we store your name, email address, and IP address.
• When you sign in to Fantastical on a device we store your device's name so that you can identify it when managing your account.
• When you sign up for a Flexibits Premium subscription your billing address and payment information is stored by Stripe, our payment processor.
• Your personal information is never sold to anyone else or shared with anyone else for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.

Where are my events, tasks, and contacts stored?

In general, your events, reminders, and contacts are stored on your device and are not sent anywhere else (see exceptions below). Your account’s password is stored securely on your device using the Keychain.

• Event and task data synced to your Apple Watch is stored on Flexibits servers. This data is end-to-end encrypted and we are unable to access it.
• If you create a meeting proposal in Fantastical, the proposal is stored on Flexibits servers so that the invitees can respond to the proposal.
• Additional data is sent when using Fantastical Openings (see below).

Why do Fantastical and Cardhop ask for the username and password of my accounts?

Fantastical for macOS/iOS and Cardhop use your username and password to sync and display your events, reminders, and contacts. Your username and password are stored securely in the Keychain. The Keychain is part of macOS and iOS and is responsible for securely storing usernames and passwords.

Fantastical for Windows stores your usernames and passwords securely on your device using the Data Protection API (DPAPI). The information is protected on a per-user basis against other logged-in users on your device. The DPAPI is part of Windows and is responsible for securely storing usernames and passwords.

Your account username is securely synced between devices, but Flexibits does not have access to this information and your password will never leave your device. Your account information is never used for any reason other than to sync your data.

What data is sent to Flexibits when using Fantastical Openings?

• The names of your accounts and calendars.
• The names of your calendar sets and which calendars are in each calendar set.
• If your calendars support conferencing services, such as Google Meet, Zoom, Webex, or Microsoft Teams.
• Meeting templates that you've created.
• The name, email address, and notes from people who request meetings from you.
• Your Fantastical Openings data can be deleted at any time at hub.flexibits.com.
• Titles, locations, notes, invitees, and other identifying event data are not sent to Flexibits.

When does an app use my location?

Fantastical uses your location for the following:

• To show you weather based on your location.
• To switch your calendar set when you have a calendar set that activates automatically based on location.
• To show you notifications for geofenced reminders.
• To show you time to leave notifications based on your current location.
• To show you relevant search results when searching for a location.

When your location is sent off your device:

• Your location is sent to Apple Maps to show relevant search results when searching for a location.
• Your location is sent to AccuWeather to show weather for the current location (this can be disabled in the settings).
• We do not receive your precise geolocation. Your geolocation is modified on your device so that we only receive an approximate geolocation.

Cardhop never uses your location.

Do you use end-to-end encryption when syncing data between devices?

Fantastical uses end-to-end encryption to sync your calendar sets, templates, interesting calendars, Apple Watch data, and account usernames.

Your Flexibits Account Key is used to encrypt your data when it is stored on a Flexibits server. Your Flexibits Account Key is stored on iCloud to make it easy to sign in to other devices that use the same iCloud account.
