2. The apps collect nothing for us
There is no aiity backend. There is no registration, no login and no user account. Neither Syllivra nor Day sends us usage statistics, telemetry or crash reports. There is no tracking, and no advertising or analytics SDKs are used.
The following exists only locally on your device and is never seen by us:
- in Syllivra: speech recognition, translation, dictation and the models you downloaded,
- in Day: which calendars are shown on this device,
- keys stored on the device that uses them.
3. Syllivra on the Mac
Syllivra recognises system audio and optional press-to-talk dictation on the machine itself. After you download a speech model from the source you choose, everyday use does not need the network. The model file stays on your Mac.
Audio is processed on the device. We do not receive it.
4. Day on iPhone and iPad (iOS 18 or later)
iOS asks for full calendar access so Day can show and edit your events. Day reads and writes events through the calendars on your device, such as iCloud, Google or Exchange. Changes go straight to those calendars and are synced by their providers under their privacy terms. Day does not copy events to a server of its own. You can revoke calendar access in iOS Settings.
Settings are stored on your device. “Sync Settings with iCloud” is on by default and stores selected settings in your Apple ID's iCloud key-value storage to sync them between your devices. Which calendars are shown stays per device. We have no access to this storage; Apple's privacy terms apply. You can turn this off in Settings → General.
For optional leave-by reminders, Day asks for your location while you use the app. It sends your approximate location and the event's place to Apple Maps to calculate travel time. Place suggestions also use Apple Maps search; with location permission, suggestions can be near you. Apple handles these requests under its own terms; nothing reaches us. Found coordinates stay locally on your device.
Optional dictation asks for microphone and speech recognition access. Apple's speech recognition runs on the device where supported, otherwise on Apple's servers under Apple's terms. Day does not store recordings.
Day privacy questions go to getaiityapp+day@gmail.com. If you email us, we see your address and message, use them only to reply, and delete them on request. Full Day privacy policy.
5. The aiity.de website
This site is static, sets no cookies, and embeds no external resources, fonts or analytics services. When you visit it, the server processes technically necessary connection data (IP address, time, requested file, user agent) in order to deliver and secure the site. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This data is not combined into profiles.
Release files for Syllivra (the signed download and the appcast used for updates) are also served from this host. Fetching them is a download you started.
6. Diagnostics
Apple may collect crash reports if you have allowed that in system settings. That is an operating system feature, not something we run.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the rights of access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21), as well as the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77).
In practice: because we store no personal data about you, we can neither give you access to your content nor delete it — we simply do not have it. Your data is on your device and, depending on the features you use, with your calendar provider (such as iCloud, Google or Exchange), Apple for Day's iCloud settings sync, Maps and server-based speech recognition, or Apple for Syllivra crash reports if you allowed them in system settings.
8. Children
These tools are not directed at children.
9. Changes
If how the tools work changes, this policy will be updated. The version published here, with the date given above, is the one that applies.
