Waypoint — Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 29, 2026

Waypoint is a personal productivity application developed by Ken Shinn (ken@kenbshinn.com). This policy describes what data Waypoint accesses, how it is used, and how it is protected.

1. Information We Collect

When you sign in with Google, Waypoint receives:

• Your Google account name, email address, and profile picture
• A unique identifier (Google Subject ID) used to associate your data with your account

If you grant calendar access, Waypoint reads:

• Your Google Calendar events (titles, dates, times, locations, descriptions) — read-only

Waypoint also stores data you create within the app: tasks, subtasks, notes, and note tags.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Authentication — your Google account is used to sign you in and identify your data.
• Calendar display — calendar events are fetched directly from Google's servers to display your schedule and calculate travel times. Events are not stored on Waypoint servers.
• Travel time estimates — event locations are sent to the Google Routes API to calculate estimated travel times from your current GPS position.
• Task and note storage — tasks and notes you create are stored on Waypoint's backend server to sync across app sessions.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your account data (name, email, tasks, notes) is stored on a private server hosted by Hostinger in the European Union. Data is transmitted over HTTPS. Session tokens expire after 30 days.

Calendar event data is not stored on Waypoint's servers — it is fetched live from Google each time you open the Calendar or Home screen.

4. Data Sharing

Waypoint does not sell, rent, or share your personal information or calendar data with any third parties, except as required to operate the app (Google APIs for authentication, calendar, maps, and routes).

5. Your Rights and Controls

• You can revoke Waypoint's access to your Google account and calendar at any time via Google Account Permissions.
• You can request deletion of your Waypoint account data by emailing ken@kenbshinn.com.
• Signing out of the app removes your local session token.

6. Children's Privacy

Waypoint is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

7. Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes materially, the "Last updated" date above will be revised. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
