Privacy Policy

Timingl is a scheduling tool that finds shared free time across a group of friends’ calendars. This policy covers the Timingl website and app at timingl.com. Questions go to hello@timingl.com.

When you connect a calendar, you grant Timingl permission to read certain information. We request the narrowest permissions that let the product work:

• Event times: the start and end times of events on your calendar, used only to determine when you are unavailable. We do not use event titles, descriptions, locations, attendees, or attachments.
• A calendar Timingl creates: Timingl creates a separate calendar named Timingl in your account and can add events only to that calendar. It cannot read, edit, or delete anything on your other calendars.
• Basic account information: your name, email address, and profile picture, used to identify you to the friends you plan with.

Your busy times are never stored. Each time Timingl calculates an overlap, it requests your availability from your calendar provider, holds it in memory only for as long as the calculation takes, and discards it once the result is displayed. There is no availability table, no cache, and no log of your events. Closing the page means that data no longer exists anywhere in our systems.

Three things are stored in our database:

• Access tokens: the credentials that let Timingl request your availability on your behalf. Without these you would have to sign in again on every request.
• Confirmed hangout times: once everyone in a group accepts a time, the start and end time of that hangout is saved so the group can see it. This is the only calendar-shaped data we deliberately write.
• An identifier for your Timingl calendar: so we can add confirmed hangouts to the right place without creating duplicates.

Timingl’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

In practice this means we do not use Google user data to serve advertising, we do not sell it, we do not transfer it except as described below, and no human at Timingl reads it except where you have given explicit permission, where it is necessary for security purposes, or where required by law.

We do not sell your data and we do not share it with advertisers. A small number of service providers process data on our behalf so the product can run:

• Google: calendar availability and account sign-in.
• Nylas: connects iCloud and Outlook calendars for users on those services.
• Neon: hosts our database.
• Vercel: hosts the application.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to investigate a credible security or safety issue.

Timingl runs no analytics, no advertising pixels, and no third-party trackers. We do not set cookies for tracking purposes. The only cookies we use are the ones that keep you signed in. If we ever add analytics, we will update this policy before doing so.

You can disconnect Timingl from your Google Account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revoking access immediately stops Timingl from reading your availability.

To delete your Timingl account and everything associated with it, email hello@timingl.com from the address you signed up with. We will delete your stored tokens, your hangouts, and your profile within 30 days. Because busy times are never stored, there is nothing of that kind left to delete.

Data is encrypted in transit. Access tokens are stored in our database and are only used to make requests on your behalf. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep the amount of data we hold deliberately small, which limits what could ever be exposed.

Timingl is intended for people aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, email us and we will remove it.

If we change how we handle your data, we will update this page and change the date at the top. Material changes will be announced in the app before they take effect.
