Privacy Policy 隐私政策

1. Overview

Sketella ("the App") is a conversational AI calendar assistant. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how the App handles your information.

2. Data We Collect

Your calendar, reminders, and chat history stay on your device. We do not maintain user accounts or external databases for personal content. The following is created and stored locally:

• Chat messages between you and Sketella
• Conversation sessions and titles
• App preferences (default calendar, reminder settings, time defaults, language)
• Quota usage counters (number of AI calls per month)

Calendar events and reminders Sketella creates on your behalf are written directly to Apple's native Calendar and Reminders apps via EventKit. They live in your iCloud account if you have iCloud Calendar / Reminders sync enabled — that sync is between you and Apple, Sketella has no role in it.

We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs. We do not collect device identifiers beyond an anonymous device token used solely for AI proxy authentication (see §3).

3. AI Conversational Features

Sketella's core capability — understanding natural-language requests like "schedule a meeting with mom on Saturday" — requires sending your message to a large language model. We route this through our secure server (a Cloudflare Worker) for processing. This data is:

• Anonymized — identified only by an anonymous device token. No name, email, Apple ID, or personal identifier is included.
• Not stored — processed in real time and discarded after the model responds. Conversation history shown in the chat UI lives only on your device.
• Routed through our secure proxy — your message goes to our Cloudflare Worker first, which forwards it to the AI model provider with our keys. Your iPhone never connects directly to the model.

To help the AI understand calendar context, we send a minimal summary along with your message — current date and timezone, your default event duration preference, and (if relevant) the most recent few extracted events from this conversation. We do not send your full calendar, contact list, or location.

No data from the AI feature is retained, logged, or used for training.

4. Voice Input

When you use voice input, your iPhone streams microphone audio (16 kHz PCM) directly to ElevenLabs Scribe v2, a third-party speech recognition service, via a one-time short-lived token issued by our server. The transcription is streamed back to your device. We do not store audio recordings or transcripts on our server. ElevenLabs's privacy policy applies to the audio stream itself; per their policy, audio is not retained beyond the processing window.

5. Photo OCR

The App requests camera and photo library access for the photo-to-event feature. Images are sent to our secure server for AI-based text and event extraction. Images are processed in real time and discarded immediately after extraction. We do not store images or the extracted text on our server.

6. Email Forwarding

Pro users receive a unique forwarding email address (<deviceID>@add.sketella.app). When you forward a meeting invite or event-bearing email to this address, our server parses the email content, extracts event information, and sends a notification to your device with the event proposal. The original email content is processed in real time and not retained beyond the processing window. The forwarding address is tied to your anonymous device token, not to a user account.

7. Calendar & Reminders Permissions

The App requests Calendar and Reminders permission to create events and reminders on your behalf. Sketella only writes events that you have explicitly confirmed via the chat interface. You can revoke either permission at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security.

8. Purchases

In-app purchases are processed entirely by Apple through StoreKit. Sketella does not have access to your payment information, Apple ID, or billing details. Subscription status is verified through Apple's StoreKit framework.

9. Third-Party Services

Sketella relies on the following external services:

• AI model providers (Google Gemini, DeepSeek) — receive your messages anonymously through our secure API proxy. No personal identifiers are shared.
• ElevenLabs — for real-time speech recognition. Audio streams directly between your device and ElevenLabs, authenticated via a short-lived token from our server.
• Apple StoreKit — for in-app purchase verification, handled by the operating system.
• Cloudflare — hosts our API proxy (the Worker that anonymizes and routes AI requests).

We do not integrate advertising networks, analytics SDKs, or social media tracking.

10. Data Retention & Deletion

Since chat history and preferences are stored locally on your device, you have full control:

• Delete individual conversations in the chat list at any time
• Reset all preferences via Settings
• Uninstalling the App permanently removes all locally stored data
• Calendar events and reminders Sketella created are stored in Apple's Calendar / Reminders apps and follow Apple's data lifecycle. To delete them, use the Calendar / Reminders apps directly, or use Sketella's "Clean up all calendar events created by Sketella" maintenance tool in Settings

The anonymous device token is automatically invalidated 90 days after the App's last network request.

11. Children's Privacy

Sketella does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The App is rated 4+ and does not require any personal information to function.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the App with an updated effective date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
