Privacy Policy
Cally Focus · Last updated 26 September 2026
The short version
Cally reads your calendar on your device and never sends it anywhere. It shows ads, and the advertising provider (Google AdMob) collects device and usage data to select them. Those are separate things, and the distinction matters: your meetings stay on your iPhone.
What Cally reads
Cally asks permission to read your calendars so it can show upcoming events on your Lock Screen. That is the only permission it requests.
Your calendar data is read on-device through Apple's EventKit framework and used only to build what you see in the app and on your Lock Screen. It is written to a private container shared between the app and its Lock Screen widget, both of which run only on your device.
Advertising
Cally shows ads supplied by Google AdMob. To select and measure them, Google may collect your device's advertising identifier, coarse location (derived from your IP address), and data about how you interact with ads. This is handled by Google, under Google's privacy policy.
On first use Cally asks, through Apple's standard prompt, whether it may track you across apps and websites. Declining changes nothing about how Cally works — you will still see ads, they will simply be less relevant, and no advertising identifier is shared. You can change your answer at any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
What Cally still does not do
- It does not send your calendar, or any event, off your device — not to Google, not to us, not to anyone.
- It does not create an account or ask for an email address.
- We operate no servers and hold no copy of your data.
Your control
You can revoke calendar access at any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Calendars. Deleting the app removes everything it stored on your device.
Children
Cally is rated 4+ and collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new date at the top.
