Kiwido Privacy Policy
This policy explains how the Kiwido app handles information on your device and when it uses the internet. By using the app, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
Summary
Kiwido shows your calendar and reminders in one week view. The app needs access to your calendar to work. Reminders access is optional on iPhone and iPad and required on the Mac. Most processing happens on your device. Studio Spreza does not operate its own servers that store your calendar or reminder content.
Data on your device
- Calendar and Reminders. The app reads and writes events and reminders through Apple EventKit. Tasks and events you create go to your Apple Calendar and Reminders, not to a separate Kiwido database. That data stays under your Apple ID and within Apple's systems. The app does not send your calendar or reminder content to servers controlled by Studio Spreza.
- Local storage. Older versions of Kiwido kept their own task board on your device. If you used one of those versions, the app moves those entries into your Apple Calendar and Reminders the first time you open this version. A small local store remains for two cases: if your device has no calendar or list the app can write to, an item you create is kept on the Kiwido board instead of being lost, and the app tells you where it went; and on iPhone and iPad, if you keep Reminders access off, tasks you create stay on the Kiwido board. Deleting the app may remove any remaining local data according to iOS behavior.
- Settings. Preferences such as appearance, weather options, calendar defaults, and any on-device theme state are stored on the device.
Optional location, for weather and place search
If you enable weather or use current location, the app may access your approximate or precise location once you grant When In Use permission. Location is used for app functionality. Studio Spreza does not sell your location.
Coordinates may be sent over the network for forecasts and place labels. Forecast requests go to Apple Weather through Apple's WeatherKit. When you use current location for weather, the app also asks Apple Maps to turn those coordinates into a short place name. Both are handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy, not on servers operated by Studio Spreza.
Network services
The app may connect to the internet for the following, and nothing else.
- Weather. Apple Weather, through Apple's WeatherKit, for forecasts only, using coordinates for the location you chose or your current location. The app also loads the Apple Weather mark and a link to its data sources from Apple, to credit the forecast where it appears.
- Place names. Apple MapKit, to turn coordinates into a short place label when you use current location for weather.
- Map search. When you search for a city, address, or point of interest, the app uses Apple MapKit. Those queries are handled under Apple's terms and systems, not on servers operated by Studio Spreza.
- Holiday information. Wikimedia and Wikipedia APIs over HTTPS, to load summaries and images for optional holiday detail content. Attribution appears in the app where that content is shown.
Optional notifications
Kiwido can alert you about your own events and tasks, and send a short summary of the day each morning. These are off until you turn them on in the app, and they are local notifications scheduled on your device by Apple's notification system. They are built from calendar and reminder data that is already on the device. No notification content is sent off your device, and there is no push server.
Because iOS limits how many notifications an app may have waiting at one time, Kiwido uses Background App Refresh to top that queue up as alerts are delivered. That refresh reads only your on-device calendar and reminder data and sends nothing anywhere. You can turn notifications off in the app or in Settings, and Background App Refresh off in Settings.
What Studio Spreza does not do
- No Studio Spreza account. No sign-up, no login, no profile.
- No Studio Spreza server holding your app data.
- No analytics, no crash reporting, and no advertising SDKs in the app.
- No tracking. The app does not track you across other companies' apps or websites, and does not use App Tracking Transparency for that purpose.
- We do not sell your personal information.
If any of this changes, this policy will be updated and the App Store privacy labels will be updated with it.
Your choices
- Calendar and Reminders. Grant or revoke access in Settings, under Privacy and Security. The app requires this access for its core week board, so revoking it stops the app from working.
- Location. Grant or revoke in Settings. You can search for a city instead of sharing your precise location.
- Weather. You can turn weather off during setup or later in settings.
- Notifications. Off until you turn them on. Turn them off again in the app or in Settings, where you can also turn off Background App Refresh.
Children's privacy
The app is not directed specifically at children under 13. If you believe information has been collected that should be removed, contact us at the address below.
Changes
We may update this policy when the app changes. The date at the top changes when we do. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
