We know privacy policies are long. Here's what actually matters for Anticipāt:
Anticipāt is a mobile application developed and published by HYTimes Group LLC, a US-based company. References to "we," "us," or "our" in this policy refer to HYTimes Group LLC.
If you have questions about this policy, contact us at privacy@hytimesgroup.com.
We want to be explicit about this. Anticipāt does not collect:
There is no account system. There is no login. There is no server that receives your data. When you enter an event name, date, or photo — that information never leaves your device.
All data you create in Anticipāt is stored locally on your device using your device's secure local storage. This includes:
This data is backed up by iOS iCloud Backup or Android's device backup automatically if you have those features enabled on your device. We have no access to or control over those backups — they are governed by Apple's and Google's own privacy policies.
If you choose to use the Calendar Import feature, Anticipāt will request read-only access to your device's calendar. This means:
Calendar data is read locally on your device and used only to display suggested events in the import screen. No calendar data is transmitted to any server, stored in any database, or shared with any third party. When you close the import screen, the calendar data is discarded from memory.
You can revoke calendar access at any time in your device Settings → Privacy → Calendars → Anticipāt.
If you choose to upload a photo from your camera roll as an event background, Anticipāt will request access to your photo library. We only access the specific photo you select — not your entire library.
Selected photos are stored locally on your device as the background image for your event. Photos are never uploaded to any server or shared with any third party.
You can revoke photo library access at any time in your device Settings → Privacy → Photos → Anticipāt.
If you use the Unsplash image search feature, your search query (e.g., "Singapore skyline") is sent to Unsplash's API to retrieve matching photos. This search query is subject to Unsplash's Privacy Policy (unsplash.com/privacy). We do not send any personal information alongside this query — only the search text you type.
Your purchase of Anticipāt is processed by Apple or Google. We receive confirmation that a purchase was made, but we never receive your payment details. Apple's and Google's payment privacy policies govern that transaction.
Anticipāt contains no third-party advertising SDKs, no analytics platforms (such as Firebase, Mixpanel, or Amplitude), no social login providers, and no data broker integrations.
Anticipāt does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13 (US) or under the applicable age in your jurisdiction. The app is appropriate for all ages. Because we collect no personal data, no special parental consent process is required.
Because we do not collect or transmit your personal data, there is no Anticipāt server or database that could be breached to expose your information. Your event data is protected by your device's built-in security (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID) and iOS/Android data sandboxing.
If we update this Privacy Policy, we will post the updated version within the app and update the effective date at the top of this document. For material changes, we will provide a more prominent notice. Your continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
