At Xtendify Technologies, the provider of Simple Calendar and this website (simplecalendar.io), we are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store, and process personal data when you interact with our services.
We ensure compliance with the highest privacy standards, including but not limited to:
This Policy applies to Simple Calendar’s websites, services, and products. It does not extend to third-party websites or services, which operate independently and have their own privacy policies. Any personal data you share with these third parties will be governed by their respective policies.
Trust is the cornerstone of the Simple Calendar website and includes trusting us in how we manage your data. Four core principles govern our approach to ensure transparency and integrity in handling your information.
Your Information Belongs to You
We collect only the data necessary to deliver our services. Whenever possible, we minimize, anonymize, or delete data that is no longer necessary. Our products are designed with privacy in mind, and your data is always yours. We use it only to enhance your experience.
We Protect Your Information
We do not share your personal data with third parties unless you give permission or we are legally required. When legally obligated to share information, we will inform you in advance, unless prohibited by law.
We Support Privacy Compliance for Users
Many of our users may not have dedicated privacy resources, and we are committed to helping them fulfill their privacy responsibilities. We ensure our platform is privacy-friendly and provide resources to help you manage your data responsibly. This includes clear documentation, FAQs, and support for any privacy-related questions.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting a revised version and noting the “Last Updated” date above. Changes will take effect when posted. For any significant updates that affect how we use your information, we will notify you in advance, including by the email at the email address you provided. We encourage you to review this policy whenever you use any Simple Calendar services to stay informed. Your continued use of our services confirms your acceptance of any updates.
On simplecalendar.io (the “Site”), you may engage in various activities that involve your personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”). For example, you may request information, schedule events, download details related to our Service, access marketing or support materials, and apply for services. Simple Calendar will collect and use your Personal Information to provide, personalize, enhance, and continue operating our platform, in addition to fulfilling these purposes.
Certain actions you take on and through the Service may be public by default. This can include, but is not limited to, content you have publicly posted on the Site or shared through the Service.
For registered users, some of this information may be linked to your account. For unregistered users, although your activity (such as the pages you visit) may be tracked anonymously through cookies, it will not be directly associated with any personal account.
Please note that if you opt to provide Personal Information through certain public features of the Service, such information will be subject to the privacy settings of those features and may become publicly accessible. Such information may be used or disclosed by others outside our control, and search engines may index it. Therefore, we advise you to exercise caution when deciding to share specific information that you consider private when posting or submitting content through the Service.
When you create an Account and/or fetch events through Simple Calendar, you may provide Personal Information such as your name, company name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. If applicable, financial details like billing name, address, and credit card number may also be required.
Simple Calendar offers various add-ons, including WP Full Calendar, Google Calendar Pro, and Book an Appointment. When you fetch private events, our OAuth helper, integrated within the plugin, simplifies the authentication process. This involves accessing your OAuth code and refresh token. We store the OAuth code and your theory site URL for the unique key to retrieve the refresh token, which is then used to request updated event data every time you reload the page.
All sensitive data, including OAuth codes and refresh tokens, is securely stored in encrypted form and is not shared with any third party. You acknowledge that this information is personal to you, and by creating an Account on our platform and providing Personal Information, you allow others, including us, to identify you. You may update your Personal Information at any time by contacting us.
Our Use of Data
For the purposes of the Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR, Simple Calendar acts as the “data controller.” We retain any Data you submit for as long as Simple Calendar deems necessary to provide adequate service to the user, unless explicitly requested by the user for their Data to be deleted.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, your Data will never be intentionally disclosed to third parties, except as required to administer the service efficiently and always in compliance with applicable data protection laws. We do not share your information for marketing purposes through affiliates. All personal Data is securely stored in accordance with the principles of the Data Protection Act 2018 and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
