LifeDesk

A personal desk for work, private life and family: appointments, tasks, contracts, documents, notes and tools — on your device, no account and no server

Privacy policy

Last updated: 5 September 2026

LifeDesk is a personal organizer: appointments, tasks, people, contracts and cancellation deadlines, accounts and cards (label and last four digits only), debts, trips, notes, documents, time off, letter templates and calculators. We run no server for this app, there is no account or login, and the app contains no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no third-party SDKs. We receive no data from you. Some features use Apple services on your device; where this involves a connection to Apple, it is stated explicitly here.

Apple services the app uses on your device: place search and address lookup through Apple Maps (your search term goes to Apple), the iOS translation feature (may download a language pack from Apple once; your text is translated on the device), Siri and Shortcuts, on-device Spotlight search (title and kind of an entry only; can be switched off), and Apple’s device backup. Apple’s privacy policy applies to these services.

1. Data controller

We have not appointed a data protection officer or an EU representative because we do not reach the relevant thresholds. Please address all requests to the contact above.

2. What data we process

What we explicitly do not collect

• No account, no login, no e-mail address sent to us
• No advertising, no advertising ID, no analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs
• No server of our own: your data never goes to us
• No full card or account numbers, no connection to banks, no payments
• No access to your e-mails, messages or social networks; messages and e-mails are only prepared as drafts and sent by you
• No location recording, no background location
• No audio or text sent to a server for recognition or analysis

3. Permissions on your device

The app requests only the following permissions. Each of them can be revoked at any time in your device settings; the app remains usable afterwards, with reduced functionality.

• Camera — Scan documents, receipts and business cards, copy text from the camera image. Without permission you can import files and photos.
• Calendars — Optional: show calendar events on the timeline and, if you turn on sync, create and update LifeDesk appointments in the calendars you choose.
• Contacts — Optional: copy a person to your contacts when you choose “Add to contacts”; you confirm each entry in the system form. The app does not read your address book. For import you pick individual contacts through the system picker.
• Microphone and speech recognition — Optional: record voice notes and turn them into text on the device. If on-device recognition is not available for your language, only the recording is kept; nothing is sent to a server.
• Location (while using the app) — Optional, only for location reminders on tasks.
• Notifications — Optional: local reminders for appointments, deadlines, birthdays, tasks and routines. They are scheduled on the device, not sent by a server.
• Face ID — Optional: app lock. iOS performs the check; the app receives no biometric data.
• Photos (add only) — Optional: save a QR code or image to your library. You pick photos through the system picker; the app gets no access to your library.

4. Legal bases

We process personal data under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP). Where the GDPR applies, we rely on:

• Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — everything needed for the app to deliver the function you requested.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — secure and stable operation, abuse prevention, troubleshooting.
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — for anything you actively enable in this app: access to camera, calendars, contacts, microphone, speech recognition and location (each optional; processed on the device). Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future by revoking the permission in your system settings.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) — in particular commercial and tax retention duties for payments.

5. Recipients and third parties

6. Retention and deletion

We store nothing because we run no server for this app. All content lives on your device and is deleted when you delete it in the app, choose “Delete all data” in Settings, or remove the app. If you use Apple’s device backup (iCloud or computer), the app data is part of your own backup; we have no access to it. A backup file you export is stored wherever you put it.

Step-by-step instructions are available at Delete data.

7. Children and young people

This app is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we learn that such data has been submitted without parental consent, we delete it without delay.

8. Data security

Wherever the app transmits data at all, connections are encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. On the server side we use access restrictions, tenant separation and regular backups. Nobody can, however, guarantee absolute security for data transmission over the internet.

9. Your rights

• Access to the personal data we process
• Rectification of inaccurate data
• Erasure or destruction of your data
• Restriction of and objection to processing
• Receiving or porting your data in a common format
• Withdrawal of consent with effect for the future

An informal message to info@babala.ch or a call to 076 792 63 50. We normally respond within 30 days. To verify your identity we may request suitable proof. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Switzerland: FDPIC; EU: your competent authority).

10. Changes to this policy

We may adapt this policy when the app or the legal framework changes. The version published on this page, with the date shown above, is the applicable one. We announce material changes inside the app.
