Privacy Policy

Tumbleweek is a shared calendar for families. This policy explains what information the Tumbleweek app and service collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. The short version: we collect only what it takes to run your family's calendar, we don't show ads, we don't track you, and we never sell your information.

What we collect

Your account

• Your email address, which you use to sign in. We email you a one-time code each time you sign in; there's no password.
• Your name, as you'd like it shown to the people in your families.

Your family's calendar

• Family names, and the names and colors of the people in each family.
• Events: titles, dates and times, how they repeat, notes, who they're for, alerts, and travel time.
• Locations you add to events. When you pick a place from the map, we store its name and coordinates. When you work out travel time from a starting place, we store that place with the event so others going can see it.
• Invitations you create, and which families you belong to and in what role.

Children's information

Tumbleweek accounts are for people 13 and older. Younger children can be added to a family by a parent or guardian as a name, without an account or login. We collect nothing from children directly. Information a parent adds about a child, such as their name and the events they're tagged in, is handled like the rest of the family's calendar.

What stays on your device

• Your current location. If you choose "Current Location" when working out travel time, your phone uses it once to estimate the drive. It isn't sent to us or stored with the event.
• Recent starting places you've used for travel time are kept on your device, not synced.
• Notifications for alerts are scheduled by your device.

How we use your information

We use your information only to provide Tumbleweek:

• to sign you in and keep your account secure;
• to show your family's calendar to the people in your family and sync it between devices;
• to provide the calendar subscriptions you create; and
• to respond when you contact us for help.

We don't use advertising, third-party analytics or tracking, and we don't sell or rent your information to anyone.

Who can see your information

• People in your family. Everyone in a family can see that family's calendar and the names of the people in it. What they can change depends on the role they were given. If you belong to more than one family, each family sees only its own calendar; families never see each other's events.
• Anyone with a calendar subscription link. Subscription links are secret and read-only, but anyone who has one can see the events it covers. Treat them like a password. You can turn a link off at any time in the app.
• Service providers that help us run Tumbleweek, such as our hosting provider and the service that delivers sign-in emails. They process information only on our behalf.
• Apple. Subscriptions are purchased and managed through the App Store, so we never see your payment details. Map search and travel times use Apple Maps. Apple's handling of this information is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.
• When required by law. We may disclose information if we're required to by law, or to protect the safety of our users or others.

Keeping your information safe

Information is encrypted in transit between the app and our servers. Each family's data is kept separate from every other family's, and access is checked on every request. Sign-in codes and sessions are stored only in hashed form.

Keeping and deleting your information

We keep your information for as long as you have an account. You can leave a family at any time, and a family's owner can delete the family, which removes it for everyone. To delete your account and its information, email us at support@tumbleweek.app from the address you sign in with, and we'll take care of it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we'll let you know in the app or by email.
