Privacy by Design: At joytiv, we built privacy protection into every feature. Our Smart Calendar system processes your data in-memory only, automatically deletes sessions within 1-7 days, and never permanently stores your personal calendar events. We never sell your personal information.
Privacy-First Smart Calendar
- • Zero permanent storage of calendar event details
- • In-memory processing only - data never touches permanent storage
- • Automatic expiration - all analysis sessions expire within 1-7 days
- • Explicit consent required for every calendar analysis
- • You control your data - delete anytime with one click
1. Information We Collect

Privacy-First Calendar Analysis
Important: We never permanently store your personal calendar data.
With your explicit consent, we temporarily process your Google Calendar data to provide life balance insights:
- Temporary Processing Only: Calendar events are processed in-memory and immediately anonymized
- What We Analyze: Time patterns, duration of activities, and general categories (work, health, personal, etc.)
- What We Don't Store: Event titles, descriptions, locations, attendee names, or meeting content
- Data Retention: Analysis results stored for 1-7 days (your choice), then automatically deleted
- Session-Based: Each analysis creates a temporary session that expires automatically
Example of What We Store vs. Don't Store:
✅ We Store (Anonymized):
- • Work category: 40%
- • Health category: 15%
