What this is
CandleCount helps you track birthdays and publish them to your calendar.
Who we are: "CandleCount", contact: support@candlecount.app
What data we collect
On your device
People you add: first name, last name (optional), date of birth, notes (optional), included/excluded, source, contact identifier (if imported).
Household settings: household name, timezone, years ahead, leap-day policy, milestone ages, title/description templates, calendar selection, activity log.
Tokens: public and write tokens stored in Apple Keychain.
From Contacts (optional): given name, family name, birthday date, notes, identifier. We do not import phone numbers or email addresses.
To your device's Calendar (optional "Export Once"): we create/update all-day events with an idempotency tag in the notes.
What is synced to our server (for Live Feed)
We store household config and people needed to render an ICS feed (calendar subscription).
We do not store phone numbers, email addresses, or anything not used for birthdays.
Storage is in Cloudflare Workers KV under a tokenized key.
How we use your data
- • To show People and Builder previews in-app
- • To export birthdays to your chosen calendar (on-device)
- • To generate a read-only ICS feed (Live Feed) at your unique URL
Data sharing
We do not sell or share your data with third parties for advertising.
Infrastructure providers (Cloudflare) process data to serve the ICS feed.
Security
Tokens are random strings; keep your feed URL private (anyone with the URL can view upcoming birthdays).
Tokens are stored in Keychain on-device. You can rotate tokens in Settings to invalidate old links.
Your choices
Contacts/Calendar permissions are optional. The app works without them (with some features disabled).
You can delete or edit People at any time in-app.
To remove feed data from the server, rotate your public/write tokens and/or push an empty dataset via the app (Save/Push); or email support@candlecount.app.
Children
CandleCount is not directed to children under 13. Parents control what data is entered.
Your rights (EEA/UK and similar)
You can request access, correction, or deletion of your data by emailing support@candlecount.app.
Changes
We may update this policy. We'll update the "Last updated" date and, if changes are material, notify in-app.
