Privacy Policy
The short version
- We collect what we need to run Yearmark, your account, your year and your billing status.
- We never sell your data, and we don't use it for ads.
- When you connect an AI, it reads and adds to your year only because you asked it to.
- If you connect Google Calendar, we use that access only to sync your calendar with Yearmark, as described below, and never for ads.
- You can download or delete everything anytime from Settings, or by emailing hello@yearmarkcalendar.com.
Yearmark is a year-at-a-glance planner operated by Riley AI Systems in Fargo, North Dakota ("Yearmark," "we," "us"). This policy explains what we collect when you use yearmarkcalendar.com, app.yearmarkcalendar.com and the Yearmark connector, and what we do with it.
What we collect
Your account
Your name, email address and sign-in details. If you invite someone to your household, we store their email so they can join.
Your year
Everything you put into Yearmark, like blocks, dates, categories, notes, seasons, goals and the marks you add. Notes can hold anything you type, so only add what you're comfortable storing with us.
Billing
Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number. We receive your plan, payment status and basic details like the card brand and last four digits.
Usage and device data
Standard technical information, like your browser, device type, IP address, pages visited and error logs. We use it to keep Yearmark working and secure.
People who book time or answer a group plan
If someone sends you an availability link or a group plan, you can use it without an account. We collect the name and email you enter, any note you add, and the time or answers you pick, and share them with the person who sent the link. Your email is never shown to anyone else who answers.
Notifications and offline use
If you turn on notifications, we store a push address for that device so we can send you reminders and updates. If you use Yearmark offline, a copy of your year and any changes you make without a connection are kept on your device until they sync. Signing out clears them.
Messages
If you email us or fill out a form, we keep what you send so we can reply.
How we use it
- To run Yearmark and show you and your household your year.
- To process payments and manage your subscription.
- To send account emails, like receipts, sign-in links and important changes.
- To fix problems, prevent abuse and improve the product.
- To send product news, only if you opt in. You can unsubscribe anytime.
We don't sell your personal information, share it for advertising, or use your year to train AI models.
When you connect an AI
You can connect Yearmark to an AI assistant, like Claude, ChatGPT or Meta Muse, using the Yearmark connector. When you do, that assistant can read your year and add or change blocks when you ask it to. What the assistant does with that information is covered by its own privacy policy, not this one. You can disconnect Yearmark from your assistant at any time from that assistant's settings.
Google Calendar
You can connect your Google account in Settings. Yearmark asks for permission to view and edit events on your Google calendars (the calendar.events permission) and uses it only for these features, which you control:
- Copy to Google. When an event is added, changed or deleted in your Yearmark calendar, we create, update or delete a matching event on your Google Calendar. We only change or delete events Yearmark created. We never touch your other events.
- Show Google events in Yearmark. If you turn this on, we read the start and end times of events on your primary Google calendar for the coming months, and their titles only if you choose to show them, and display them as read-only busy time in Yearmark to you and the people you share your year with. Your booking links also treat those times as busy.
We store your Google sign-in token encrypted, the events we read to show as busy time, and a list of which Google events Yearmark created. We don't use Google data for advertising, don't sell it, don't use it to train AI models, and don't let people read it except where you ask us to (for example, a support request) or the law requires it. When you disconnect Google Calendar or delete your account, we delete your token and the events we read from Google.
Yearmark's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Who we share it with
- Your household. People you invite to your household can see and edit your shared year.
- Service providers. Companies that help us run Yearmark, like hosting (Vercel), database (Neon), payment processing (Stripe), email delivery (Resend) and scheduled reminders (Upstash). They only use your information to provide their service to us.
- Legal reasons. If the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or others.
- Business changes. If Yearmark is sold or merged, your information may transfer to the new owner, who must follow this policy.
How long we keep it
We keep your information while your account is open. If you delete your account, we delete your year and personal information within 30 days, except where we have to keep records for legal or tax reasons. Backups roll off within 90 days.
Your choices
You can download all your data or delete your account yourself in Settings. You can also ask us to show you, export, correct or delete your information at any time. Email hello@yearmarkcalendar.com from the address on your account and we'll respond within 30 days. Depending on where you live, you may have more rights under local law, and we'll honor them.
Security
We use encryption in transit, access controls and trusted providers to protect your information. No system is perfect, so we'll tell you promptly if a breach affects your data.
Children
Yearmark isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us information, email us and we'll delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we'll email you before the change takes effect. The date at the top always shows the latest version.
