Privacy policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026

Who we are

Family Planner is made by DRKSN Dev, the sole proprietorship of Silvian Derksen, based at Zonnedauwhof 4, 7581 VG Losser, the Netherlands, Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number 42208985. For privacy questions, use the contact form.

Where your data lives

What you enter, such as family members, appointments, the weekly menu, the shopping list, chores, stars, moods and profiles, is stored on the device. If you share your family with others, this happens through Apple's iCloud, in your own iCloud account. Only the people you invite can see that data. DRKSN Dev has no access to it. Apple's privacy policy applies to iCloud.

What the app uses, and why

• Calendar. With your permission, the app reads the calendars on your device to show the day and the week. Appointments you add through the app go into that calendar. This stays on your device and in your calendar account.
• Contacts. Only when you pick contacts yourself to add your family. From those contacts the app takes the name, birthday, photo and email address or phone number (the latter to invite them). The app does not look through your whole address book.
• Photos and camera. Only photos you choose or take, for example for a pictogram, a profile photo, a recipe or a note from school. Text in a photo is recognised on the device.
• Location. Only when you tap "Use my location" during setup, to fill in your town. Apple turns your location into a place name. The location itself is not stored, only the place name.
• Notifications. The app schedules notifications on your device, such as the morning and evening summary and medicine reminders. You choose which ones.
• Smart help. Uses Apple Intelligence on your own device, for example to read school messages or answer questions. That processing happens on the device.
• Sharing to the app. When you share an email, photo or PDF to Family Planner, the app keeps its text on your device until you open the app.

Third-party services

For a few features the app fetches data from other services. Only what's needed is sent:

• Weather comes from Open-Meteo. The app sends your place (the name or coordinates of your town). No names or other data.
• A school calendar link is fetched from the school or school app that provides it.
• A recipe link is fetched from the website you enter.
• Ordering opens the website or app of the supermarket you choose, with the product you're looking for. That shop's privacy policy applies.
• Family Plus is bought through the App Store. Payment is handled by Apple. We receive no payment details.

Children

Family Planner is made for families, and children use the kids' page. Parents decide what's in the app and who takes part. DRKSN Dev collects no data from children (or from parents), and there are no ads or tracking in the app.

Keeping and deleting

• Data is kept for as long as you leave it in the app.
• To stop sharing or leave the family, go to Settings → Together via iCloud in the app.
• To remove everything, delete the app and erase Family Planner's iCloud data via Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Storage on your iPhone or iPad.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct and delete your personal data. Because we hold no data about you, you manage this yourself in the app and in iCloud. If you still have a question or request, use the contact form. You can also file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

Changes

If anything changes in how the app handles data, we'll update this policy and the new date will appear at the top.
