PRIVACY POLICY FOR PLANAWAY: PLANNER & ORGANIZER

Last Updated: October 29, 2026

Planaway respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Planaway application for iPhone and iPad, and the Planaway website at planawayapp.com.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Planaway does not require you to create an account or provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or address.

The developer of Planaway does not operate servers that collect or store the content you create in the app. The only exception is content you choose to share with the Share List feature, described in section 4.

Information you enter into Planaway, such as lists, tasks, events, habits, grocery items, wishlist items, watchlists, books, preferences, and other planner content, is stored locally on your device and may be synchronized through Apple's iCloud services when iCloud functionality is available and enabled.

2. LOCAL DATA STORAGE

Planaway uses Apple's Core Data framework to store planner information locally on your device.

This may include:

- Lists and list items

- Tasks and completion history

- Events and related information

- Habits and habit progress

- Grocery and wishlist items

- Watchlist information

- Books and reading information

- Themes, icons, appearance choices, and other app preferences

This information is used only to provide the app's functionality.

The developer does not receive or have direct access to this locally stored content.

3. ICLOUD

Planaway uses Apple iCloud to support backup and synchronization of app data across your Apple devices.

When iCloud synchronization is used, your Planaway data may be transmitted to and stored in your personal iCloud account using Apple's services.

The developer of Planaway does not operate the iCloud service and does not directly receive or access the contents of your iCloud account through Planaway.

Your use of iCloud is also subject to Apple's applicable terms and privacy policies.

4. SHARED LISTS

Planaway lets you share a list with other people through a link. Sharing only happens when you choose Share List and then Create Link.

When you create a link, a copy of that list's content is stored in Planaway's public database on Apple's iCloud (CloudKit) service. This copy includes:

- The list's name, type, icon, and colors

- The names of its items, and where the list type uses them: amounts and units, authors, genres, habit icons, and the days habits are scheduled

- Only if you turn on Include Links: the web links saved on its items

The copy never includes your progress or completion history, ratings, notes, or reminders. Saved links are included only if you turn on Include Links when creating the link; only web (http and https) links are shared.

Anyone who has the link can view the shared list in the Planaway app or on the Planaway website, open any links it includes, and add their own copy of it to Planaway. Links in shared lists are added by the people who share them, not by the developer; open only the ones you trust. A link shows the list as it was when the link was created; later changes to your list are not included unless you create a new link.

Each shared list is stored together with an anonymous identifier that Apple's iCloud service assigns to your iCloud account for Planaway. This identifier does not reveal your name, email address, or Apple Account, and it is used only so that you, and only you, can see and delete your links. Creating a link requires being signed in to iCloud; opening a link does not.

You can delete your links at any time in Planaway under Settings → Shared Links. Deleting a link stops it from opening. Copies that other people have already added to their own Planaway app belong to them and are not affected.

If a shared list is reported, the developer may review it and remove it. You can report a shared list with Report List in the app, the Report link on the website, or by email (see section 14).

5. PLANAWAY WEBSITE

When you open a shared link, the planawayapp.com website shows the shared list by reading it from Planaway's public iCloud database.

The website is hosted by Netlify, which may process technical information such as your IP address and browser type as part of delivering web pages, in line with Netlify's own privacy policy. The Planaway website does not use cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising.

6. IN-APP PURCHASES

Planaway offers a one-time in-app purchase called Unlock All, which provides access to premium functionality.

Purchases and purchase restoration are processed through Apple's App Store and StoreKit services.

Planaway does not directly collect or process your payment card details or other payment information. Payment processing is handled by Apple.

The app may receive information from StoreKit necessary to determine whether Unlock All has been purchased and to provide or restore access to the purchased features.

7. ANALYTICS, ADVERTISING, AND TRACKING

Planaway does not use third-party advertising SDKs.

Planaway does not use third-party analytics services.

Planaway does not track users across apps or websites for advertising purposes.

Planaway does not sell personal information or app data to third parties.

8. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Planaway relies on the following services to provide certain functionality:

- Apple iCloud — for data backup and synchronization across the user's Apple devices.

- Apple iCloud (CloudKit public database) — for storing lists you choose to share with a link.

- Apple StoreKit and the App Store — for processing the Unlock All in-app purchase and restoring purchases.

- Apple Core Data — for local storage of app data on the user's device.

- Netlify — for hosting the Planaway website, including the pages that show shared lists.

Information handled directly by Apple is subject to Apple's own privacy practices and policies. Information handled by Netlify is subject to Netlify's privacy policy.

Planaway does not share the content of your lists or planner data with third-party advertising, analytics, or marketing services.

9. NOTIFICATIONS

If Planaway offers reminders or notifications, the app may request permission to send notifications.

Notification permission is controlled by iOS or iPadOS and can be changed at any time through the device's Settings app.

Information required to schedule local notifications is used for providing the requested reminder functionality.

10. DATA RETENTION AND DELETION

Data stored locally by Planaway remains on your device until you delete the relevant content or remove the app, subject to device backups and operating-system behavior.

Data synchronized through iCloud is managed through Apple's iCloud infrastructure and may remain associated with your iCloud account according to Apple's data retention and synchronization practices.

Shared lists remain available until you delete their links in Settings → Shared Links, or until they are removed by the developer (for example, after a report). Deleting the app does not delete your shared links; delete them in the app first, or contact the developer to have them removed.

Because Planaway does not require a Planaway account, there is no separate Planaway account to delete.

Users can delete individual lists, tasks, events, habits, and other content directly within the app.

Users can manage iCloud data and iCloud access through Apple's system settings.

11. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Planaway is a general-purpose productivity and organization application and is not specifically directed toward children.

Planaway does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Content in shared lists is limited to list content that a user chooses to share.

12. SECURITY

Local information is stored using Apple's platform technologies, while synchronized information and shared lists are handled through Apple's iCloud infrastructure.

Only the person who created a shared link can delete it. Anyone with a link can view its shared list, so please do not include personal or sensitive information in lists you share.

No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

13. INTERNATIONAL USERS

Planaway provides the same core privacy practices regardless of the user's region.

Data processed by Apple services such as iCloud and the App Store, and by Netlify, may be processed according to their infrastructure, policies, and applicable legal requirements.

14. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to Planaway, its features, applicable requirements, or the services it uses.

When the policy is updated, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised.

If Planaway's data practices materially change, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

15. CONTACT
