Privacy, in plain language.

Tardy is a productivity app for students. We collect only what the app needs to work, we don’t sell your data, and we don’t track you across other apps or websites.

What we collect

Account

We use Sign in with Apple. We receive your Apple user identifier and, if you share them, your name and email. We never see your Apple ID password.

Academic data

If you connect Canvas, Tardy reads courses, assignments, quizzes, announcements, and due dates using a personal access token you create. The token is stored in your device’s Keychain. Grades are not requested.

Calendar data

With permission, Tardy reads and writes events in Apple Calendar and Google Calendar. Calendar contents are not uploaded to our servers.

AI chat

Messages sent to the assistant are relayed through our server to Google Gemini to generate replies. Please don’t include sensitive personal information in chat.

Website waitlist

If you join the waitlist, we store your email address so we can send launch and early-access updates. An access-controlled Google Sheet gives authorized Tardy administrators a working copy of the waitlist. You can ask us to remove your information at any time.

What we don’t do

Storage and security

Canvas and Google tokens live in the iOS Keychain. Third-party API keys stay on our servers and are never included in the app. Server-side app data is stored in Firebase under your account identifier.

Students and minors

Tardy is designed for college students. Some users may be under 18, and we deliberately collect the minimum information required for each feature. Tardy is not directed at children under 13.

Your choices

You can disconnect Canvas or Google Calendar in Settings. For privacy questions, waitlist removal, or account-deletion requests, contact tardyadmin@tardyplanner.app.

Changes

We may update this policy as Tardy changes. The latest revision date will always appear at the top of this page.
