Matí Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Matí accesses, stores, and shares when you use the app.

    Short version: Matí is built to keep your calendar data on your device and in your private iCloud account. We do not run analytics. We do not share your data with advertisers. The only time information leaves your device is when you explicitly use a feature that requires it (for example, accepting a booking request, which sends a calendar invite to the requester).
  

1. Information Matí Accesses

On Your Device

Calendar events — through Apple's EventKit framework, with your explicit permission. Matí reads events from the calendars you choose and can create, edit, hide, or delete events when you ask it to.
Calendar permissions — to know which calendars you have allowed Matí to read or modify.
Notification permissions — to deliver the daily briefing and event alerts you configure.

App-Specific Data

Matí stores its own settings and supporting data, including:

Your preferences (default calendar, theme, week-start day, etc.)
Records of events you have hidden, including the event title, calendar source, and a content fingerprint used to match the same event across devices
Auto-discovered places ("Tracked Places") derived from the locations of your calendar events

This data is stored locally on your device and, when iCloud is enabled, replicated to your private iCloud database via Apple's CloudKit. We do not have access to this database.

2. Information Matí Does Not Collect

We do not run any third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs.
We do not collect device identifiers for marketing purposes.
We do not transmit the content of your calendar events to any server we control.
Natural-language event entry ("quick add") is processed entirely on your device using Apple's on-device intelligence; the text you type is never sent to a server.
We do not sell, rent, or share your information with advertisers.

3. iCloud Sync

If you have iCloud enabled and Matí is allowed to use it, the app syncs preferences, hidden events, and tracked places between your devices using Apple's CloudKit private database. This data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple. We do not have access to this database. You can disable Matí's iCloud usage at any time in Settings → Apple Account → iCloud → Apps Using iCloud.

4. Booking Requests (Optional)

The Booking feature is entirely optional. If you choose to set it up, you create an account by signing in with Apple. Apple provides us with your name and email address, which we store on our backend solely to create and manage your booking account and to identify which requests belong to you. We do not use this information for advertising or tracking.

When the feature is enabled, the following information also leaves your device:

The slug and display information you choose to make public on fescueapp.com
Time windows you have explicitly chosen to expose for booking
The contents of any booking request submitted to you (requester's name, contact info, proposed times, message)

This information is processed by our backend service (operated by Robert Torres) and stored in MongoDB. Your sign-in tokens are stored securely in your device's Keychain. Booking requests are only used to deliver the request to you and to confirm scheduling with the requester.

You can permanently delete your booking account and all associated data at any time from within the app — see Your Choices below.

The booking flow is also subject to the Fescue Privacy Policy.

5. Spotlight and Siri

Matí indexes upcoming events into Apple's Spotlight search and registers App Intents with Siri so you can quickly find or create events. Spotlight indexes are managed by iOS on your device and not transmitted to us.

6. Widgets

Matí's widgets read your calendar data through the same EventKit permissions as the main app. Some preferences (such as which calendars are hidden) are mirrored to a shared App Group container on your device so that widgets can render correctly. None of this data is sent to us.

7. Children's Privacy

Matí is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Your Choices

You can revoke Matí's calendar access at any time in iOS or macOS Settings → Privacy → Calendars.
You can disable iCloud sync for Matí at any time in iOS or macOS Settings → Apple Account → iCloud.
You can delete the app to remove its local data. iCloud data is removed when you delete the app and disable iCloud sync, or when you sign out of iCloud entirely.
If you set up Booking, you can permanently delete your account and all associated data — your booking page, any pending requests, and the name and email we stored — directly in the app from the Booking screen. You can also email [email protected] to request deletion.

9. Security

Matí uses Apple's standard security practices, including App Sandbox, Hardened Runtime on macOS, and TLS for any network requests it makes. iCloud data is protected by Apple's CloudKit encryption. No system is perfectly secure; you should also keep your Apple ID protected with a strong password and two-factor authentication.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make significant changes we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
