Hemma is a family calendar that keeps your household in your own iCloud. We — Amico Labs Ltd (“Amico”, “we” or “us”) — do not collect your calendar, receive it, or store it on our servers. This policy explains, in plain terms, what that means.
When you set up a household, Hemma uses Apple's CloudKit to store it in the private iCloud database of your Apple Account. When you invite someone, iCloud shares the household with them, and only with them; you can see who has joined in Settings › Sharing. Each device keeps a copy, so Hemma works without a connection, and the TV, widgets and Top Shelf show it from that copy.
The household's contents are stored by Apple under its encryption and privacy protections, are not accessible to Amico, and we never see them. iCloud is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. Deleting a household in Hemma deletes it from iCloud for everyone; leaving one someone else made removes it from your devices only.
A group — a team's or a class's calendar — is shared by a link. Anyone with the link can follow the group and see its events, though only its organisers can change them. Share a group's link only where you'd be happy for its events to be seen. Following a group copies its events into your household; nothing from your household goes to the group. As with any iCloud share, the group's organisers can see the name on the iCloud account of each family that follows it.
Apple's use of this information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
If you add a school, work or club calendar by its link, your devices download it directly from wherever it is published, to keep it up to date. The link is stored in your household, so everyone in it can see it. Amico is not involved in that exchange.
Hemma Plus subscriptions are sold and processed by Apple through the App Store. Payment is handled entirely by Apple — we do not receive or store your payment-card details. So that everyone in the household has Plus, Hemma records in the household when the subscription runs to, with the iCloud identifier, not the name, of whoever bought it. Apple provides us only with aggregate, non-identifying sales and subscription reports.
The only information that reaches Amico is what you choose to send us — for example, if you email support@amico.software or privacy@amico.software. We use the contents of those messages only to respond to you and to improve the app, and we do not use them for advertising or share them for unrelated purposes.
Because your household lives in your own iCloud and on your devices, you are already in direct control of it. You can view, edit or delete anything in it from within Hemma, delete the household for everyone, or leave one. We do not hold a copy, so there is nothing for us to retrieve, correct or erase on your behalf.
The only personal data Amico itself processes is the content of any message you choose to send us and the email address you send it from. We process this on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to you and improving Hemma, and we keep it only as long as needed for that purpose — normally no more than 24 months after your query is resolved — unless a longer period is required by law.
If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, you have rights under the UK GDPR and the GDPR in relation to that data, including the right to access it, to have it corrected or erased, and to restrict or object to its processing. To exercise any of these, email privacy@amico.software. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority — in the United Kingdom, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), or the supervisory authority in your country of residence.
If you are a California resident, please note that we do not sell or share your personal information, and we do not use it for cross-context behavioural advertising. Because Hemma has no tracking and no advertising, there is nothing to opt out of.
Hemma does not track you across apps or websites, does not use advertising identifiers, and does not include third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. Because we do not track you, no App Tracking Transparency prompt is needed.
Hemma is a family calendar, and parents add their children to it: their names, birthdays and, if they choose, photos. That stays in the family's iCloud and on its devices, and is never sent to Amico. A child with their own iPhone or iPad joins only when the person who made the household invites them.
If we change this policy, we will post the updated version here and revise the “Last Updated” date above. Material changes will be reflected in the app or its App Store listing.
If you have any questions about this policy or your privacy, email us at privacy@amico.software.
