1. Overview
LoColendar ("we", "us", "our") is a family calendar application that helps parents manage their children's activities, sports, school events, and more. This privacy policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our service at app.stay-loco.com.
2. Information We Collect
Account Information: When you sign in, we collect your email address and display name through Firebase Authentication (Google Sign-In). We do not store passwords.
Calendar Data: We access calendar feed URLs (ICS feeds) that you provide. These feeds contain event names, dates, times, locations, and descriptions from your sports teams, schools, and other organizations.
Google Calendar Access: If you connect Google Calendar, we request permission to create and manage calendars and events on your behalf. We use this solely to sync your consolidated schedule to Google Calendar. We access only calendars created by LoColendar and do not read or modify your existing personal calendars.
Location Data: If you use the drive time feature, we send event locations to the Google Maps API to calculate travel estimates. We cache these results to reduce repeated lookups. We do not track your real-time location.
Usage Data: We collect basic usage analytics through Firebase to understand how the app is used and to diagnose issues. This may include page views, feature usage patterns, and error logs.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to provide and improve the LoColendar service, including fetching and merging calendar feeds, syncing events to your Google Calendar, calculating drive times, detecting scheduling conflicts, and sending notifications you have opted into. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore) and secured using Firebase security rules and HTTPS encryption in transit. Google Calendar OAuth tokens are stored encrypted in Firestore and are only used to maintain your calendar sync connection. We retain your data for as long as your account is active.
5. Third-Party Services
LoColendar integrates with the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies: Google Firebase (authentication, database, hosting), Google Calendar API (event sync), Google Maps Platform (drive time calculations), and OpenAI API (AI assistant features). We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services.
6. Google API Services User Data Policy
LoColendar's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically, we only use Google Calendar data to provide and improve user-facing features visible to you, we do not transfer data to third parties except as necessary to provide the service, we do not use data for advertising, and we do not allow humans to read your data unless you provide affirmative consent, it is necessary for security purposes, or it is required by law.
7. Your Rights
You can disconnect your Google Calendar at any time from within the app, which revokes our access and removes synced calendars. You can request deletion of your account and all associated data by contacting us. You can remove individual calendar feeds at any time.
8. Children's Privacy
LoColendar is designed for use by parents and guardians to manage their children's schedules. The service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
