Filuma

Privacy Policy

Effective August 23, 2026 · applies to Filuma for iOS and iPadOS

What Filuma stores, and where

Your tasks, schedule, work sessions, blocked times, and settings are stored in a local database on your device. This data is shared only with Filuma's own widgets on the same device, and it is included in your device backups according to your iOS backup settings. Filuma never transmits this data to us. If you choose a calendar export, the scheduled work blocks you author are sent directly from your device to the Apple or Google calendar account you selected.

Settings includes an "Export my data" button that writes your tasks, scheduled blocks, work sessions, reminders, recurring-task templates, blocked times, planning preferences, and integration choices to a plain JSON file. OAuth credentials, calendar sync cursors, and imported copies of calendar events are deliberately excluded. The file is created on your device and goes only where you choose to send it.

Voice capture

If you dictate a task, Filuma uses your microphone and Apple's speech recognition service to turn your words into text. Depending on your device and language, Apple may process the audio on its servers to produce the transcription, as described in Apple's privacy policy. Filuma keeps only the resulting text — the task you captured — and never stores or transmits the audio itself. Dictation is optional; typing works everywhere.

Apple Calendar

If you grant calendar access, Filuma can read events from the calendars you choose so it can schedule around your busy time, and can mirror your planned work blocks into a dedicated "Filuma" calendar. All of this happens on your device through Apple's calendar framework. Imported events are used only to mark time as busy — they never become tasks, and they are removed from Filuma when you turn the import off.

Google Calendar (optional)

Google Calendar sync is entirely optional; Filuma is fully usable without it. If you connect a Google account:

• Filuma requests access to your calendar events, plus your email address so Settings can show which account is connected.
• Events are read only to mark time as busy in your schedule, and your planned work blocks can be written to your primary Google calendar. Google events never become tasks.
• Your device talks to Google directly. There is no Filuma server in between, and your sign-in tokens are stored in the device Keychain.
• Disconnecting in Settings removes the imported events and the stored tokens. You can also revoke Filuma's access at any time from your Google account permissions.

Filuma's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Notifications

Block-start nudges, the morning preview, and the evening wrap-up are local notifications, scheduled and delivered entirely on your device.

Retention and deletion

Filuma's app database lives on your device, so you remain in control. Deleting a task deletes it, and disconnecting a calendar integration removes its imported copies from Filuma. Deleting the app removes its local app data according to iOS behavior; device backups remain subject to your Apple backup settings. OAuth credentials stored by iOS in the Keychain may survive an uninstall. To remove those credentials, disconnect Google Calendar in Filuma before deleting the app, or revoke Filuma from your Google account permissions. Calendar events previously exported to an Apple or Google calendar remain in that account until you remove them.

Children

Filuma is a general-audience productivity app and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If Filuma's data practices ever change, this page will be updated and the effective date above revised before the change ships.
