Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 22, 2026

1. Overview

CUE ("the App") is a personal calendar and task management app for iPhone. Privacy is a core design principle. Your events, tasks, and categories are stored on your device, and optional sync is handled through your personal iCloud account.

We do not sell your data. We do not run advertising or tracking SDKs.

2. Information We Process

2.1 Content You Create

When you use CUE, you create content such as:

  • event and task titles
  • dates and times
  • notes
  • categories
  • reminder settings
  • location text you choose to attach

This content is stored locally on your device. If iCloud Sync is enabled, this content syncs to your private iCloud (CloudKit) database.

2.2 Apple Calendar Access (EventKit)

CUE may request calendar access to support optional features you initiate:

  • importing events from Apple Calendar into CUE
  • optional syncing/exporting selected CUE events to Apple Calendar
  • optional auto-sync/import behavior when enabled in app settings

Calendar access is optional and can be revoked anytime in iOS Settings.

2.3 Location

CUE requests "When In Use" location access so you can find and attach locations to events and calculate travel-time related context.

We do not track your movements or collect continuous GPS history.

2.4 Recent Location History (On Device)

To improve usability, CUE stores recent selected locations locally on your device.

  • Maximum retained entries: 10
  • Retention window: 30 days
  • Storage scope: on-device only (not synced to iCloud)
  • Protection: encrypted-at-rest handling is enabled on device
  • User control: can be cleared at any time in the location picker ("Clear All")

2.5 Notifications

With your permission, CUE schedules local notifications for reminders. These are handled on your device by iOS.

3. iCloud Sync (CloudKit)

If iCloud Sync is enabled:

  • events, tasks, and categories sync through your personal iCloud account
  • data is stored in your private CloudKit database
  • sync is handled by Apple's infrastructure
  • the developer does not have direct access to your iCloud content

iCloud copies may remain in Apple's infrastructure subject to Apple's own data retention, backup, and recovery policies. You can manage iCloud storage in your device's iCloud settings.

You can disable iCloud Sync at any time in app settings and/or iOS iCloud settings.

4. Subscription and Purchase Data

CUE Pro subscriptions are processed by Apple StoreKit and managed by RevenueCat (acting as subscription infrastructure provider on our behalf).

For entitlement management, RevenueCat/StoreKit may process data such as:

  • anonymous customer/subscription identifiers
  • purchase status/history
  • transaction receipt data

Payments are processed by Apple. We do not receive your full payment card details.

5. Background Remote Notifications

CUE enables the iOS remote-notification background mode to support silent background updates used by platform services (including iCloud/CloudKit sync and subscription status infrastructure). These notifications are used for app state refresh and do not contain your full event/task content payloads.

6. Data We Do Not Collect for Tracking/Ads

  • no third-party analytics or ad tracking SDKs
  • no IDFA-based advertising tracking
  • no sale of personal data
  • no cross-app/web behavioral tracking

7. Third-Party Services

CUE integrates with:

  • Apple CloudKit (optional sync)
  • Apple EventKit (optional calendar access)
  • Apple MapKit (location search)
  • Apple StoreKit (in-app purchases)
  • RevenueCat (subscription entitlement management)

These services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

8. Retention, Deletion, and Account Data Removal

  • active content remains until you delete it
  • deleted items move to "Recently Deleted" for 14 days before permanent removal
  • optional "Auto-Delete Completed Events" feature (if enabled) moves completed events to Recently Deleted after its configured threshold
  • recent location history follows the 30-day local retention policy above

To remove data fully:

  1. delete content in-app
  2. clear Recently Deleted
  3. remove CUE iCloud data from your iCloud storage (if sync was enabled)
  4. uninstall the app from your devices

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or request portability of data you control — including under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable privacy laws. Because core app content is stored on your device and/or your private iCloud account, you can directly manage most data through the app and Apple account settings.

10. Children's Privacy

CUE is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date when changes are made.
