The short version: our apps do their work on the device in front of you. We don’t track you, and the only personal data we ever see is what you send us yourself.
In plain words. The website sets no cookies and runs no analytics. The apps do their work on your own device: Myriad Voice turns speech into text with a model running on your Mac, and Myriad Calendar reads and writes the calendar database your own operating system already keeps. Three things leave a machine, and none of them is your work: a one-time download of the speech model when you first set Voice up, a licence check when you activate a paid copy, and a daily question about whether a newer version exists. We hold your details only if you email us or buy a licence, and then only for as long as we need them.

We are a one-person business and are not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer. Email the address above for anything privacy-related — it reaches a human.
We only process personal data where we have a lawful basis under Article 6 of the GDPR:
| Situation | Data | Why (lawful basis) |
|---|---|---|
| You email us, or use the bug report / feature request form | Your name, email address and whatever you write, plus the app and system version you provide | To answer you and fix the problem — legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)), or performance of a contract if you are a customer (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| You buy a licence directly from us | Email address, name or company, country, tax identifiers where required, and the payment record | Performance of the sales contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) and our legal accounting and tax duties (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| You buy through the App Store | We receive no personal data from Apple — only anonymous sales reports | Not applicable |
We never sell your data, and we don’t use it for advertising or profiling. We don’t send marketing emails unless you explicitly ask us to.
The two apps work differently enough that it is worth taking them one at a time. Neither has an account, a sign-in or a server of ours behind it.
Voice records audio while you hold a key and turns it into text using a speech model that runs on your Mac, on the machine’s own hardware. Your voice is not sent to us and not sent to any speech service.
The audio is not stored. It exists for as long as it takes to transcribe, and then it is gone: there is no recordings folder, no transcript history and no log of what you said. Neither we nor anyone else can retrieve it, because it was never written down.
One download, at the start. The first time you set the app up it fetches the speech model — this is a plain file download and carries nothing about you beyond what any download reveals to the server hosting the file. After that, dictation works with the network switched off.
The app has no analytics, no crash reporting and no usage tracking of any kind.
Calendar shows your tasks alongside your real commitments, and can write time blocks back into a calendar you choose. How it reaches those calendars matters, so here it is precisely:
It goes through your operating system, not through Google or Microsoft directly. The app uses Apple’s EventKit — the same interface the built-in Calendar app uses — to read and write the calendar database macOS, iOS and watchOS already keep on your device. Whichever accounts you have added in system settings, whether Google, Microsoft, iCloud or anything else, are synced by your operating system. This has a consequence worth stating plainly: we hold no password, no OAuth token and no access of any kind to your calendar accounts, and the app makes no request to Google or Microsoft itself. There is nothing on our side to be breached, because there is nothing on our side.
Your tasks, projects and blocks are stored on your device, in the app’s own storage. We run no backend for this app, so there is nowhere your day could be sent even if somebody asked us for it.
Writing to a calendar is off until you switch it on. You choose the target calendar yourself, per profile. Once you have, the app creates events there, moves them when you move a block and deletes them when you delete the task — which is visible to anybody who can see that calendar. That is a deliberate design choice rather than an oversight: filling in somebody else’s view of your availability is not something software should start doing unasked.
Where profiles show a clash, they do not show the detail. Time occupied in another profile is drawn as a band with no title on it. That is a privacy feature, not only a visual one.
The app’s only network request is a check for a newer version, described below.
Myriad Calendar asks myriadself.com/appcast-calendar.json about once a day whether
a newer version exists. That request carries no identifier of ours — the technical data any web
request reveals, and nothing added by us. It tells us nothing about who you are or what is in your
calendar, and the file it fetches is a version number, not a message about you.
When you activate or verify a paid licence, the app contacts our licence service. What travels is your licence key and a device fingerprint — a value derived from your hardware that lets us check the licence is not in use on more machines than it covers. Where you are in a trial, the same mechanism records when the trial started.
That exchange carries no audio, no transcript, no task and no calendar event. Its only purpose is performing the licence contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) and preventing licence abuse (Art. 6(1)(f)).
Your operating system asks your permission before an app can reach protected areas. You can review and revoke those permissions at any time — on the Mac in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Revoking them limits what the app can do, but never sends us anything.
This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and loads no third-party fonts, scripts, trackers or embedded content. That is why you are not being asked to accept anything — there is nothing to consent to.
The site is hosted on Google Firebase Hosting, which — like any web server — processes the technical data needed to deliver a page to you, including your IP address, in short-lived server logs. This is necessary to operate the site securely (Art. 6(1)(f)).
The support forms do not send anything to us over the internet. They open your own email program with the message pre-filled; nothing leaves your computer until you press send.
We keep the list of external providers as short as we can:
| Provider | What for |
|---|---|
| Google (Firebase) | Serving this website, and storing licence and order records |
| Stripe | Processing payments for purchases made directly from this site |
| inFakt | Issuing your invoice |
| cyber-folks | Our email — sending licence keys, and receiving and storing support correspondence |
| Apple | Sales made through the App Store — Apple is the seller and its own privacy policy applies |
Payment card details never reach us. They are handled directly by the payment provider.
Your calendar providers are not on this list, and that is the point. Where Myriad Calendar shows a Google or Microsoft calendar, it is reading what your own operating system has already synced. Those accounts are yours and your relationship with those companies is directly with them — we are not a processor in that chain, and we could not be, because we hold no credentials for it.
Under the GDPR you may ask us to: give you a copy of your data (Art. 15), correct it (Art. 16), delete it (Art. 17), restrict how we use it (Art. 18), send it to you or another provider in a portable format (Art. 20), or object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21). Where processing rests on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting what was lawful beforehand.
Write to hi@adrianskobiej.pl and we will respond within one month. Deletion may be limited where the law requires us to keep invoices.
One practical note: the things people most often want deleted — what they dictated, what is in their calendar — we do not have. They are on your device, and deleting the app deletes them. There is no copy of ours to ask about.
If you think we have handled your data badly, you can complain to the Polish supervisory authority — Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw (uodo.gov.pl) — or to the authority in your own country.
Some of our providers are based in the United States. Where data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, it is covered by the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, as applicable to each provider.
If we change how we handle data, we will update this page and the date at the top. For changes that materially affect you, we will say so clearly rather than quietly editing the text.
