Privacy Policy

This policy explains how MittSchema ("the app") handles information when you use it to keep track of your children's school timetables. The Swedish version is the original; this translation is provided for convenience.

1. Who is responsible

MittSchema is published by the app's publisher, who is the data controller to the extent the app processes personal data on our behalf at all. For any privacy question, contact hello@theproductpeople.se. (Publisher legal name and address to be completed before release.)

2. Your schedule never leaves the device

This is the most important point in the whole policy. Nothing you enter into the app is sent anywhere:

• no user accounts and no sign-in,
• no ads and no advertising identifiers,
• no cloud sync and no server holding your schedule,
• no schedules, subjects, teachers, rooms, times, names, schools, classes or photos leave the phone — neither to us nor to anyone else.

The app contacts exactly one service outside the phone, and only for what the next section describes: anonymous statistics about how well the paper timetable was read. It contains none of your schedule.

3. Anonymous usage statistics

Reading a photographed paper timetable is hard, and timetables look different at every school. To see where the reading falls short, the app collects anonymous statistics about how it went.

The statistics are genuinely anonymous. The app creates no identifier that is stored on the phone, and no account. Each time the app launches it uses a random number that exists only in memory and disappears when the app closes. There is therefore no way to follow a phone from one day to the next, no way to count unique users, and no way to tie any event to a person — not by us, and not by anyone else. We also ask our provider to discard the IP address and to create no profile.

What is sent: which steps in the app are reached; counts — how many lessons the read found, how many days and gaps, and how many lessons were added, changed or removed afterwards; whether a read failed and which of the fixed error messages was shown; and app version, iOS version and whether the device is a phone or a tablet.

What is never sent: subjects, teachers, rooms, times, lesson names, your child's name, school or class, the photo of the timetable, your location, your name, your email, Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA), or any other identifier that identifies your phone. The statistics say that thirty lessons were read and two were corrected — not which ones, and not by whom.

Who receives it: the statistics are processed on our behalf by PostHog on servers within the EU, and used only to improve the app. They are not sold, not passed on, not used for advertising, and not used to follow you across other apps or the web. They are stored there for the retention period that applies to our account.

Would you rather not take part? Turn off Share anonymous usage statistics under Settings → Privacy and the app stops sending immediately. Because the data is not connected to you, there is nothing to delete afterwards — no row anywhere is yours.

4. The photo of the timetable

• The app asks for the camera or photo library only when you choose to import a timetable. If you decline, you can still enter the timetable by hand.
• The image is interpreted on your device using Apple's built-in text recognition (Vision). It is never uploaded.
• The photo is saved on your device alongside the timetable, so you can go back and look at the paper when a room or a code looks wrong. You find it under the child's settings as "Din schemabild". It is never uploaded anywhere.
• Delete the child and the photo goes with it; delete the app and everything goes.
• If you pick an image from your photo library, the app touches only that image — it does not read through your other photos.

5. Sharing a schedule

You can share a schedule with someone else. It happens without a server: the app draws a picture — either a QR code another copy of MittSchema can read, or a week view any person can read — and hands it to the iOS share sheet. From there you choose who receives it and through which app.

• We never see what you share or with whom. The app sends nothing; the app you pick in the share sheet sends the picture, under its own terms.
• Whoever receives the code gets their own copy of the week in their own app. There is no link back — changes on one side are invisible on the other.
• The child's name does not travel in the code. The receiver names the schedule themselves. What the code carries is lessons, times, rooms, teacher initials, school and class.
• In the other direction: pick an image holding such a code and it is read on your device and becomes a schedule of yours.

A shared picture is a picture like any other. Once sent it lives with the recipient and in whichever app you sent it through, and we cannot take it back. Think before forwarding a child's schedule.

6. What is stored on the device

MittSchema stores what you enter yourself, in a file on your device:

• the child's name (whatever you type — a nickname works just as well) and chosen colour,
• school type and grade, plus class, school, teacher and school year if they appear on the timetable,
• the lessons: subject codes, times, rooms and teacher initials exactly as printed on the paper timetable,
• your settings, such as when in the day the widget should switch to tomorrow,
• and the photo of the paper timetable, when the week came from a photo.

The file lives in the app's shared container (app group group.se.mittschema.shared) so that the home screen widgets can read the same timetable as the app. Only MittSchema and its own widgets can reach that container — no other apps.

7. Children's data

The app is made for an adult keeping track of their child's or children's school weeks, so what you enter concerns a child. That is precisely why the app is built without a server: the child's details never leave your device, and we never receive them. You do not need to enter the child's full name — a first name or nickname is enough for the app to work.

8. Backups

If you use iCloud Backup, or back your phone up to a computer, the timetable file may be included in that backup, like any other app's data. That backup is handled by Apple under Apple's terms, not by us.

9. How to delete your data

• Remove an individual child in the app's settings and that child's timetable is gone.
• Delete the app and everything goes with it. Since nothing is held on any server, there is nothing left with us to request erasure of.
• You can withdraw camera and photo access at any time in iOS Settings.

10. Legal basis and your rights (GDPR)

Everything to do with the schedule is processed locally on your device and under your own control. We do not receive, store or process your child's data, and therefore cannot disclose, correct or erase it for you — you do that yourself in the app. Camera and photo library access rests on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time in iOS Settings.

The anonymous usage statistics in section 3 are the only thing we receive. Because they contain nothing that can be connected to you, they are not personal data under the GDPR and the rights below do not apply to them — but you can switch them off in the app at any time.

Under the GDPR you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and data portability, and the right to complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY). Should we ever begin processing further personal data — for instance if the app gains a cloud feature — we will update this policy before that happens.

11. Security

The timetable file is protected by iOS file protection and by device encryption, which is tied to your passcode, Face ID or Touch ID. Because the app transmits no data, there is no transfer that could be intercepted.

12. Changes to this policy

If the policy changes, the date at the top is updated and material changes are surfaced in the app. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated policy.
