Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 11, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Next Idea ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our web application.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information

When you sign in to Next Idea, we may collect information provided by your authentication provider (such as Google or Apple), including your name and email address.

2.2 Google User Data

If you choose to connect your Google Calendar, we request access to your calendar data using the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly scope.

  • What we access: We only read your calendar list and event details (titles, times, and colors).
  • How we use it: This data is used exclusively to display your upcoming events within the "Today" view of the Next Idea app to help you plan your day.
  • Storage: We do not store your Google Calendar data on our own servers. It is fetched directly from Google's APIs and may be temporarily cached in your browser or stored in your private Apple CloudKit database for synchronization across your own devices.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your task data and preferences are stored in Apple CloudKit. This means your data is stored in your own private database within Apple's infrastructure, tied to your Apple ID. We do not have access to your private CloudKit data; only you can access it through the application.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information or Google User Data to third parties. Your data is used solely for providing and improving the service to you.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access and review the personal information we hold about you.
  • Request the deletion of your account and associated data.
  • Disconnect your Google Calendar at any time through the Settings menu.
