Privacy Policy for LockMeet

Last Updated: October 21, 2026

Overview

LockMeet is a scheduling coordination app that helps groups find common meeting times. We're committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

What We Collect

LockMeet collects the minimum data needed to find common scheduling times:

iCloud Identifier — An opaque string (not your name or email) that uniquely identifies your iCloud account
Display Name (optional) — A name you choose to show other group members
Free/Busy Time Slots — Start and end times only, without event details
Group Names and Date Ranges — Information about the groups you create or join, including a location and short note if the meet's creator adds them
Votes, RSVPs and Activity — Your votes and RSVPs on proposed times (and, if the meet asks, how many guests you're bringing), and a short log of actions in a meet so other members can follow what's happened
Reminders — Reminders you send or receive in a meet (who sent it, who it's for, what it's about, and when)
Announcements — Announcements, and whether you tapped Got it
Lists — Items, who's bringing them (including names typed in for people not on LockMeet), and costs
App Version — The version of LockMeet you use

What We Never Collect

LockMeet never collects:

Calendar event titles, descriptions, locations, or attendees
Email addresses (unless you opt in via Sign in with Apple)
Location data
Advertising identifiers or device fingerprints
Anything used to track you across other apps or websites

How Your Data Is Stored

All data is stored in Apple's CloudKit infrastructure with the following protections:

Encryption in Transit — TLS 1.3 (HTTPS)
Encryption at Rest — Automatic via CloudKit
Advanced Data Protection — If you enable this in iCloud Settings, your data is end-to-end encrypted, and even Apple cannot read it

Sharing & Privacy

When you join a group or invite others:

Other members can see your free/busy time slots for that group's date range
They cannot see your calendar event titles, descriptions, attendees, or any other details
Your availability is only visible to people in that specific group
A meet's location and note (if its creator adds them) are visible to its members, and are included in invites, chat messages and calendar events you choose to create
Members can see whether you were recently reminded to respond, so they don't send a duplicate reminder
Members can see whether you've seen an announcement, the list items you add or bring, your app version, and whether you can confirm times
A meet's creator chooses who can join. With Anyone with the link or code, whoever has the meet's invite link or code joins right away, without approval, even if the link was passed on; the creator can remove people at any time. With Only people you approve, the creator approves each join request first

Data Deletion

You can delete your data at any time by:

Removing the LockMeet app from your device
Going to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage
Selecting LockMeet and deleting your data

Note: Deleting the app does not automatically delete your CloudKit data. You must manually delete it from iCloud settings if you want to remove it completely.

Third-Party Services

LockMeet uses Apple's services:

CloudKit — For data storage and synchronization
EventKit — For reading your local iOS Calendar (no data sent to servers)
Apple Push Notification service (APNs) — For delivering notifications about activity in your meets, if you enable them

And one non-Apple service, for anonymous usage statistics only:

TelemetryDeck — Counts which features are used (see below)

We do not use ad networks or tracking services.

Anonymous Usage Statistics

To learn which features are used, LockMeet counts actions such as creating a meet, sending a reminder or sharing to chat, using TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service. Each count comes with general technical information (app version, device model, iOS version, language, time zone, screen size and accessibility settings) and a random install ID that is one-way hashed on your device, so it can't be linked back to you or your device.

These statistics never include your name, iCloud identifier, meet names, availability, messages or any other meet content. They aren't linked to your identity, aren't used for advertising, and aren't used to track you across other apps or websites.

Calendar Integration

LockMeet can read your iOS Calendar to help you find available times:

We read only the calendars you pick, locally on your device only
Calendar data is never sent to LockMeet servers
We only calculate free/busy time (gaps in your schedule)
Event details are never shared or stored

Notifications

LockMeet can send you notifications about activity in your meets:

Alerts you when someone joins your meet, votes on a proposed time, proposes or confirms a time, posts an announcement, changes the place, or puts you down for a list item — even when the app is closed
Reminds you the evening before a confirmed date you haven't answered. This reminder is scheduled by your own device from the meet data it already has; nothing is sent anywhere to schedule it, and you can turn it off in Settings
Delivered through Apple's CloudKit and Apple Push Notification service (APNs)
Built from the same activity data described under "What We Collect" above — no new data is collected to support this feature
You can turn notifications off at any time from your device's Settings

Reminders & Sharing to Chat

Reminders — When you tap the bell to remind someone, LockMeet saves a small reminder (your display name, who it's for, whether it's about availability, a vote or an RSVP, and the time) in that meet's private zone. Only the people reminded get a notification; other members just see that someone was reminded recently. Reminders are never shown to people outside the meet.
Notification settings stay private — LockMeet never shares whether you have notifications turned on or off with anyone.
Discuss in chat / Also via chat — These open Apple's standard share sheet with a message and a link to the meet. The message is sent by the chat app you choose (such as Messages or WhatsApp), under that app's own privacy policy. LockMeet never sees which chat or person you picked, what you finally sent, or any replies. iOS only tells LockMeet which app was used, to show "Shared via WhatsApp" on your device, and nothing about it is stored.
