Who we are
Type A is run by Konrad Dąbrowski (“Type A”, “we”, “us”). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use our apps and this website, type-a.app. If you have any question about it, write to konrad@type-a.app.
The short version
We do not collect, store, transmit, sell or share any personal data from our apps. Everything you create in Type A apps (Agenda by Type A), and everything the apps read from your calendar, stays on your Mac.
Agenda by Type A
No network access
Agenda by Type A has no access to the internet.
Your calendar
If you allow it, Agenda reads the events in the calendars you have added to macOS (for example iCloud, Google or Microsoft 365 accounts set up in System Settings). It uses each event’s title, time, number of attendees, location, notes and link only to show your meetings and to find the link to join the call. This happens entirely on your Mac.
- Agenda by Type A never changes, creates or deletes calendar events.
- Calendar information is never copied off your device by Agenda by Type A.
- You can choose which calendars Agenda shows in its Settings, and you can withdraw access at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars.
Your agendas
Each agenda you write is saved as an ordinary Markdown (.md) file in a folder of your choice on your Mac. You own these files: you can open, move, back up or delete them with any app, and they remain yours if you stop using Agenda. If you choose a folder that is synced by a service such as iCloud Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, that service handles the copies under its own privacy policy.
Screen-sharing check (optional)
Agenda can check whether its overlay is hidden from screen sharing on your Mac. This check only runs when you start it and requires the macOS Screen Recording permission. It captures a single frame of your screen, looks at it in memory to see whether the overlay appears, and then discards it. The frame is never saved and never leaves your Mac. Only the result (hidden or visible, the macOS version and the date) is remembered, so the app can tell you when to check again. You can withdraw this permission in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording.
Settings
Your preferences such as the overlay’s position and opacity, keyboard shortcuts, appearance, which calendars to hide and the location of your agenda folder are stored locally in macOS’s standard preferences for the app. They are removed when you delete the app and its data.
Information Apple may share with us
Agenda by Type A is distributed through the Mac App Store. Apple may provide us with aggregated, anonymous information such as the number of downloads, and, only if you have agreed in your Mac’s settings to share analytics with app developers, anonymous crash reports and usage statistics. This information does not identify you, and we use it only to fix problems and improve the app. Your purchase and download are handled by Apple under Apple’s Privacy Policy.
When you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message (for example a description of a problem or a screenshot). We use it only to reply to you and to fix the problem you reported. We keep support emails only as long as needed to help you and to keep a record of known issues, and we delete them on request.
This website
With your consent, type-a.app uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects information such as the pages you visit, your browser and device, and your approximate location, which Google processes under its own privacy policy (see also how Google uses information from sites that use its services). Google Analytics is loaded only if you choose Accept in the cookie banner; if you decline, nothing is loaded from Google and no analytics cookies are set. Your choice is remembered in your browser for 12 months, and you can change it at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. The site is hosted by Netlify, which logs visitors’ IP addresses to deliver and secure the site.
Your rights
Because our apps do not collect personal data, there is normally nothing we hold about you. The only exceptions are email you send to us and the website analytics described above. Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar laws, you have the right to ask what we hold, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to its use, and to receive a copy. Write to konrad@type-a.app and we will answer within 30 days. The legal basis for handling your email is our legitimate interest in answering your request. The legal basis for website analytics is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Changes to this policy
If our apps ever start handling data differently, we will update this page before that change reaches you and change the date at the top. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the app’s release notes.
