Privacy & data

What Meetingpad stores about you, where, and why. Short version: the minimum we need for the product to work.

What stays on your Mac

• Free/busy computation runs locally via EventKit — event titles, participants, and notes never leave your Mac unless mirrored or booked.
• Local preferences: which calendars are enabled, the Work Calendar destination, last-seen poll vote IDs.

What we store on our server

• Your account (email address, name, Clerk user ID).
• Identities you've connected: label, timezone, encrypted OAuth refresh token per Google account.
• Event types you've configured (duration, hours, description).
• Polls you've created and votes cast on them (voter name, email, chosen slots).
• Bookings made through your links (guest name, email, chosen time).
• Your encrypted Anthropic API key (Pro only, if set).

What we don't store

• Your calendar's event contents — we compute against them locally.
• Your Google account password or session cookies.
• Your prompts to Claude — those go directly from our server to Anthropic under your key and aren't logged by us.

Where the data lives

Our server runs on a Hostinger VPS in the EU (Amsterdam region). Backups run nightly, encrypted at rest, retained 14 days.

Data export & deletion

Menubar → Settings → Account → Export my data gives you a JSON dump of everything we have on you. Delete account removes it all within 30 days (immediate for identity data, 30-day recovery window for polls/bookings for legal audit reasons).
