Privacy Policy

The short version: Planwise is local-first, does not sell your personal information, does not serve advertising, and does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

This Privacy Policy explains how Rushikesh Kardile, doing business as Planwise (“Planwise,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), handles information when you use the Planwise mobile application, website, and related services (together, the “Service”). Where applicable law uses the term “controller,” Rushikesh Kardile is the controller for the Planwise processing described here. Apple and other providers may separately control information they collect directly under their own terms.

1. Information we handle

Information stored on your device

Your tasks, notes, captured thoughts, repeating routines, schedule, preferences, wake and bed times, reminder settings, completion history, and progress information start on your device. We do not receive this planner content unless you choose an online feature that sends it to the Service, such as cloud backup or Friends and Collaboration. Limited technical request information may still be processed during the automatic service checks described below.

Account and cloud backup

When you choose Sign in with Apple, cloud backup turns on. We receive an Apple-provided account identifier and, if Apple provides them, your name and email address, which may be an Apple private relay address. Your planner state—including your name, tasks, notes, captured thoughts, repeating routines, schedule, preferences, onboarding choices, wake and bed times, reminder settings, completion history, in-app activity counters, and Planwise Pro status—is then stored in our Supabase-hosted database so it can be backed up and restored. Core planning works without an account.

Friends and Collaboration

Friends and Collaboration is a separate opt-in feature. If you join, we process the display name you choose, an invite code, friendship and blocking connections, your current streak and streak date, and tasks you choose to share or that a friend shares with you. Redeeming an invite code creates a mutual friend connection immediately; anyone who has your current code can add you unless you have blocked them. A connected friend can add you to an individual shared task without a separate acceptance step; you can leave that task in Planwise. Friends can see your chosen display name and published streak. Members of a shared task can see its title, notes, schedule, reminder choice, collaborators, completion status, who completed it, and when it was completed.

If you report a user or shared task, we process the reporter, reported account or task, report details, status, and timestamp so we can review and respond.

Purchases

Apple processes payments and Apple Account billing information. Planwise uses RevenueCat to check entitlement status when the app starts, show products, validate App Store receipts, unlock Planwise Pro, restore purchases, and provide purchase analytics. RevenueCat receives a randomly generated anonymous App User ID, device type, operating system, locale and currency information, app-use or last-seen time, App Store receipt and transaction information, available products, and entitlement status. RevenueCat may use an IP address transiently to infer a country and states that it drops the IP address after determining that country.

Planwise does not send RevenueCat your Planwise account ID, name, email address, advertising identifier, or planner content. We do not receive your full payment-card details. Planwise stores your current Pro status in your signed-in planner backup, so that status is linked to your Planwise account when you use cloud backup. Purchase information is used for app functionality and purchase analytics, not advertising or cross-app tracking.

Online-service and security information

Planwise may open a connection to Supabase’s realtime service when the app starts, including before you sign in. If you are not signed in, Planwise does not upload your planner content or create a Planwise cloud account, but Supabase may still receive technical connection information. When you use Sign in with Apple, cloud backup, or Friends and Collaboration, Supabase also receives the requests needed to provide those features. Supabase may process IP address, network and user-agent metadata, timestamps, requested endpoints, response status, and authentication, request, error, or security logs. We use this information to operate, protect, rate-limit, and troubleshoot the Service, not for advertising.

Sharing through iOS

When you choose the iOS share sheet to send an invite, streak card, or achievement card, the app or recipient you select receives the content you chose to share. Planwise does not post it automatically. The receiving app or service handles that content under its own terms and privacy practices.

Support and website

If you contact us, we receive your email address and the information you include in your message. Please do not send passwords, payment-card details, or sensitive task content. We do not add advertising, cross-site tracking, or behavioral analytics to the Planwise website. Vercel, our website host, may process request information such as IP address, IP-derived city or country, browser and device information, requested URL, referring page, timestamps, performance information, and security logs to deliver and protect the site.

Sources of information

We receive information directly from you; from Apple when Planwise checks the public App Store for an available update, when you sign in, or when you make a purchase; from RevenueCat during automatic entitlement checks and purchase activity; from another Planwise user when they connect, share a task, complete shared work, block, or report; and automatically in provider request and security logs when Planwise connects to online services.

2. Device permissions

Notifications are the only device permission Planwise currently requests. If you allow notifications, iOS uses them to show local task reminders and a weekly planning nudge. The weekly nudge is enabled by default. You can change reminder timing and turn the weekly nudge off in Planwise. Notification content and schedules are created on your device. You can decline permission and still use Planwise, or change notification access and lock-screen previews at any time in iOS Settings.

Planwise does not request access to your precise location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, calendars, health data, or tracking permission. Choosing an icon that depicts one of these items does not access the corresponding device data.

3. How we use information

We use information only as needed to provide, secure, maintain, and support the Service; authenticate accounts; back up and restore data; operate collaboration and leaderboard features you choose; personalize quick suggestions in later task-creation flows from your onboarding choices; verify premium access; provide purchase analytics; respond to support requests; comply with law; and prevent fraud or abuse.

4. Service providers

We use the following providers for the stated purposes:

These providers may use their own subprocessors. When a provider processes Planwise user information on our behalf, we require contractual or other appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law and Apple’s requirements. Providers that collect information directly may also process it under their own privacy notices. We do not authorize providers to use planner content for advertising.

5. Legal bases, disclosures, sale, and tracking

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information to perform our contract with you, based on consent for optional features, for legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service, and to comply with legal obligations. Planwise does not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, serve advertising, or track activity across other companies’ apps or websites.

We may disclose information to the providers above, when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a business transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.

6. Retention and deletion

Local planner data remains until you delete it, reset Planwise, sign out, or remove the app, subject to device backups controlled by you or Apple. Supabase account and backup data remain while the account is active. Social profile and friendship data remain until you leave Friends and Collaboration, remove or block connections, or delete the account. Shared-task data remains until it is removed through the applicable task, membership, or account controls.

Reports and support messages are kept only as reasonably necessary to investigate, protect users, resolve the request, document our response, or meet legal obligations. Provider request and security logs follow the provider’s applicable retention schedule.

Delete Account removes the live Planwise account, cloud backup, social profile, friendships, and applicable shared-task data, revokes Planwise’s Sign in with Apple authorization, and clears local Planwise data. Residual copies may remain temporarily in routine provider backups or logs until their normal retention cycle ends. Account deletion does not cancel an Apple subscription and does not require Apple or RevenueCat to erase transaction records they must retain for billing, fraud prevention, tax, disputes, or legal obligations.

7. Your choices

Notifications can be declined or disabled in iOS Settings. Core planning can be used without signing in. In Planwise, you can sign out, leave Friends and Collaboration, remove or block a friend, leave a shared task, report content, restore purchases, or delete your account. See Your Privacy Choices for step-by-step controls.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, including authentication and access controls designed to keep each user’s private cloud data scoped to their account. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International transfers

Providers may process information in countries whose laws differ from yours. Where required, we use available lawful transfer safeguards. Contact us for information relevant to your location.

10. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, or the higher minimum digital-consent age that applies in their jurisdiction, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

11. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to processing, withdraw consent, or receive a copy of personal information. You may exercise available in-app controls or contact us. We may need information reasonably necessary to verify and fulfill a request. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

12. Changes

We may update this policy as the Service changes. We will post the revised version here and update the effective date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where appropriate.
