AmicaBook privacy policy
AmicaBook ("the app", formerly LifeBook Planner) is a personal planner and address book. This policy explains what the app stores, why, who processes it, and how you can delete it. AmicaBook has no ads, doesn't sell data, and doesn't share your data with anyone except the service providers listed below and people you choose to share with.
What AmicaBook stores
Everything below is stored in your AmicaBook account so it's available on your devices. You add all of it yourself, or choose to import it.
- Your account: your email address, a securely hashed password, and an account identifier. Optionally, the details you put on "My Card" (name, birthday, phone, email, address, interests).
- People you add: names, phone numbers, email and street addresses, birthdays and other dates, relationship, labels, interests, households, notes you write ("Background"), and a log of when you were in touch. This is information about other people. Only add what you'd be comfortable keeping about someone, and delete it if they ask you to.
- Calendar and planning: events, tasks, reminders' titles, plans and reports, projects, plan steps, goals and groups.
- Map: places you mark (stickers and areas) and the map positions of addresses you enter.
- Dating (optional): who you're seeing and at what stage, a log of dates (what you did, where, cost, a rating and notes) and your date ideas. These are visible only to you, even if you share your whole AmicaBook with someone.
- Kitchen (optional): pantry items and use-by dates, your shopping list, meal plans and recipes.
- Settings: preferences such as your theme, Home layout and saved filters, so they follow you between your phone and the web version.
AmicaBook is also available as a website (lbplannerweb.netlify.app). It uses the same account and the same data; signing in there stores your session in that browser.
Device permissions
- Contacts (optional): when you choose "Import from contacts", AmicaBook reads names, phone numbers, email addresses and postal addresses on your phone and compares them, on your phone, with the people already in your AmicaBook, so it can show who is new and whose details changed. Only the people and details you choose are saved to your account; the rest of your contacts are never uploaded. Addresses you import are sent to a mapping service to place them on your map. Once a day, if you have imported people before and allowed contacts, AmicaBook compares your contacts with them again on your phone and, if any changed, shows a reminder to review them; nothing is uploaded unless you choose to update someone.
- Camera (optional): used only while you scan a product barcode or a receipt's QR code in the Kitchen. Pictures are not saved or sent anywhere. A product's barcode number is sent to Open Food Facts to look up its name; a receipt's QR link opens only if you choose.
- Location (optional): used only on your phone to center the map on you. Your location is not saved or sent anywhere.
- Notifications and alarms: reminders for events and tasks, daily summaries and alarms are scheduled on your phone from your calendar; nothing is sent to a notification server. "Add to Clock app" opens your phone's Clock app to set an alarm there.
Connected services (optional)
- Google Calendar: if you connect it, AmicaBook reads (never changes) your Google Calendar events and copies them into your AmicaBook calendar, and matches event guests' email addresses to people in your AmicaBook. Access tokens are stored on the server, never shown to the app, and removed when you disconnect or delete your account. AmicaBook's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google data is used only to show your calendar in AmicaBook; it is not used for advertising, not sold, and not read by people except when you ask for help, for security, or as required by law.
- Canvas LMS: if you connect it, AmicaBook uses the access token you provide to read your courses and assignment due dates. The token is stored in your account and removed when you disconnect or delete your account.
Sharing
You can share your whole AmicaBook, or single items (a person, event, project, group or your map places), with another AmicaBook user using a code. Nothing is shared until you create a code and turn the share on; you can turn it off at any time. Sharing your whole AmicaBook includes your kitchen but never your dating information.
Service providers
- Supabase hosts the database, sign-in and server functions. Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest.
- Google: Google Maps shows the map; addresses you type are sent to Google's Geocoding service to place them on the map; Google Calendar if you connect it.
- Open Food Facts (and its Open Beauty Facts and Open Products Facts databases): when you scan a product barcode, only the barcode number is sent, to look up the product's name and size. No account or personal information is sent.
- Recipe sites: when you import a recipe from a link, the app opens that page, as a browser would, to read the recipe.
- Expo delivers app updates. It receives basic technical information needed to deliver updates (such as app version and device platform), not your AmicaBook content.
Keeping and deleting your data
Your data is kept while you have an account. You can delete individual items at any time. To delete everything, open Settings → Account → Delete my account in the app; your account and all its data (people, events, projects, notes, map places, dating and kitchen information, settings, backups, shares and connections) are permanently deleted, and Google access is revoked. You can also request deletion without the app: see Delete your account.
Settings → Backup & data → Export to a file gives you a copy of your data at any time. If you turn on automatic backups, copies of your data are saved privately in your account (only you can open them; the newest 8 are kept) and are deleted with your account.
Security
Each account can only read its own data (and what others have shared with it), enforced by the database. Sign-in sessions are stored in your phone's secure storage, and app data is excluded from device backups.
Children
AmicaBook is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date.
