SavvyCal, Inc. (“SavvyCal”, “we”, or “us”) recognizes the importance of privacy. We want you to feel confident using our services, and this privacy notice (“Privacy Notice” or “Notice”) is to help you understand and describe how we collect, use, and disclose your information.
Throughout this document, we will use a few terms to describe various products and roles. All of the text, data, information, software, graphics, photographs and more that we and our affiliates may make available to you, plus our websites and any services, plug-ins, software, or applications (including SavvyCal for Chrome, and any SavvyCal applications) that we may provide all together constitute the SavvyCal “Website.” SavvyCal “Users” are the people who have created a SavvyCal account, and “SavvyCal Schedulers” are people who have scheduled a meeting with a SavvyCal User but may or may not have registered with SavvyCal. A SavvyCal “Viewer” is a person who visits the SavvyCal Website but may or may not be a SavvyCal User or SavvyCal Scheduler.
Any terms defined in the Terms of Use, End User License Agreement, and Data Processing Addendum and not otherwise defined in this Privacy Notice are hereby adopted by reference in this Privacy Notice.
We collect information about you directly from you and automatically through your use of our Website. We may combine information automatically collected with other information that we have collected about you including from publicly available sources.
In order to help you protect yourself and your information, we encourage you to provide only that information that is necessary for using our Website. For example, to schedule a meeting you may only need to provide us with a name, email address, date, and time.
SavvyCal is not directed to children under thirteen (13) years of age and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 16 has provided us with Personal Information, we will promptly delete such Personal Information from our systems.
SavvyCal collects the following information, either directly from SavvyCal Users, Schedulers, or Viewers, or through third-parties regarding Users, Schedulers, or Viewers.
A SavvyCal User, Scheduler, or a third-party may voluntarily give us certain information. This can include names, email addresses, and phone numbers; email addresses of other people; the subject of the event; and any other information provided to us or as required by the SavvyCal User upon scheduling, pursuant to the SavvyCal Terms of Use. If you receive an invitation from a SavvyCal User but do not wish to become a SavvyCal User, please contact the SavvyCal User who sent the invitation through other means to set up your meeting.
A SavvyCal User may connect their calendar with SavvyCal. Our calendar integration only checks the duration and free/busy status of the events in your calendar so that we don’t book you when you’re busy. We never store who you are meeting with, their email address, the meeting title, or any other details about the appointments in your connected calendar.
If you purchase a paid version of SavvyCal, our third-party payment processors will collect and store your billing address and credit card information.

SavvyCal takes the security of your personal data very seriously. We work hard to protect the personal data that you provide from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, or disclosure. Given the nature of communications and information processing technology, there is no guarantee that personal data will be absolutely safe from access, alteration, or destruction by a breach of any of our physical, technical, and managerial safeguards. Please visit our security and privacy page for additional information about our safety standards.
You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your device and account by, among other things, choosing a unique and complex password that nobody else knows or can easily guess and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.
We retain the personal data we collect for so long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the data was collected, to perform our contractual and legal obligations, and for any applicable statute of limitations periods for the purposes of bringing and defending claims.
