Skreen privacy policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026 (the iPad app)

Skreen is a wall display that shows your calendar, a to-do list, the weather and the time. This policy explains what it does with your information. The short version: your Google data goes from Google to your device and nowhere else.

What Skreen accesses

If you sign in with Google, Skreen asks for permission to:

• Read your Google Calendar (calendar names, colors and events), to show your schedule.
• Manage your Google Tasks (read, add and complete items), to show and update the to-do list you choose.

Skreen also uses your approximate location, only if you allow it, to show local weather. You can instead type a city.

How it's used and stored

• Your calendar and task data is fetched directly from Google to your device and is shown on the screen. It is not sent to, or stored on, any server operated by Skreen.
• Settings (your chosen accounts, calendars, lists, city, calendar links and display preferences) are stored on your device only.
• If you add a calendar link (for example from Outlook or Apple), Skreen's relay on Cloudflare fetches that link for your device and keeps a copy for about five minutes so repeat requests are quick. The link itself is not stored there.
• If you use the Skreen+ slideshow with your own photos, the pictures you choose are copied, smaller, into Skreen's private storage on your device and never leave it. If you choose the art gallery, the relay fetches a list of public-domain paintings from Wikimedia Commons and your device loads the pictures from Wikimedia's servers.
• The Skreen+ dinner planner and shopping list are ordinary Google Tasks lists that you choose; they are handled exactly like your to-do list, between Google and your device.
• Music. Skreen can show what your tablet's music app (for example Spotify or YouTube Music) is playing, with play, pause and skip buttons. This uses Android's Notification access, which you grant yourself in Android settings and can switch off at any time. Skreen only looks at the music player's title, artist, cover picture and controls. It does not read, store or send any notifications or messages, and what is playing never leaves your device.
• Radio. If you search for internet radio stations, the words you type are sent through Skreen's relay to the community directory radio-browser.info, which returns stations. When you play a station, your device connects to that station's own stream. Skreen does not collect what you listen to.
• Voice. The microphone buttons (timers, searches, new items) use your device's own speech recognition: Android's (provided by your device and Google) or, on an iPad, Apple's (which, depending on your settings and language, may send the audio to Apple to turn it into text). The microphone is used only while you are dictating after tapping the button. Skreen does not record or keep your voice.
• Chores. The chores you set up on the Skreen+ Chores widget, and the stars earned, are stored in Skreen's private storage on your tablet only. They are never sent to Google, to Skreen or to any other device.
• Whiteboard. Notes you leave on the Skreen+ whiteboard (and the names you sign them with) are stored in Skreen's private storage on your tablet only. They are never sent to Google, to Skreen or to any other device, and they stay until you delete them or uninstall the app.
• If you use the Skreen+ news widget, Skreen's relay reads the public top-stories feeds of major news outlets and Wikipedia's "Current events" pages every 30 minutes, and uses an AI model (Anthropic's Claude) to choose the main stories and write its own short headlines, which the relay keeps in a small store and passes to your device. Only those public headlines and pages go to the AI model. No information about you, and none of your Google data, is ever sent to it.
• Buying Skreen+ is handled entirely by Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iPad). Skreen never sees your payment details.
• To get the weather, your device sends the coordinates of your chosen location, rounded to about a kilometre, to Skreen's weather relay (hosted on Cloudflare), which passes them to MET Norway, the Norwegian national weather service, and returns the forecast. No account details, and nothing about your calendar or tasks, are sent. Cloudflare may keep standard request logs, such as IP addresses, for a short time.
• If you search for a city or ZIP code in Settings, the text you type is sent through the same relay to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim search service to find its coordinates.
• Skreen contains no advertising and no analytics, and does not sell or share your information.

How we protect your data

• Your Google data stays between Google and your device. Calendar and Tasks data is requested directly from Google over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and is never sent to a Skreen server, to Skreen's relay, or to any other third party.
• Sign-in is handled by Google. Skreen never sees your Google password. Google issues a short-lived access token (it expires in about an hour), which Skreen keeps in the app's memory only and does not write to storage. On Android, Skreen keeps no long-lived token and never receives one. On an iPad, the app keeps the long-lived refresh token that Google issues in the iPad's Keychain, a protected store on the device itself, so it can renew access without asking you to sign in again. No Skreen server ever receives it, and signing out or removing the account deletes it.
• Minimal permissions. Skreen requests only the two permissions it needs: read-only access to Google Calendar, and access to Google Tasks so you can view, add and complete items.
• Nothing for others to reach. Because Skreen has no server that holds your Google data, there is no database of it that anyone at Skreen, or anyone who breaches Skreen, could access. Skreen's staff cannot read your calendar or tasks.
• Kept in the app's private area. Your settings are stored in Skreen's private storage on your device, which Android and iPadOS keep separate from other apps. Calendar and task data is held in the app's memory while it is shown, and Skreen does not save it to storage.
• No AI training. Google user data is not used to develop, improve or train any AI or machine-learning model, and is not sent to any AI service.

Data retention and deletion

• On Skreen's servers: none of your Google data is collected or retained, so there is nothing to delete there. The only things the relay holds briefly are a calendar link's fetched copy (about five minutes) and standard request logs kept by Cloudflare for a short time.
• On your device: Google calendar and task data lives only in memory while Skreen is running, and disappears when you close the app. The sign-in token expires within about an hour and is cleared immediately when you sign out or remove an account.
• Delete it yourself, any time: in Skreen's Settings, sign out or remove an account. This removes that account and its saved choices from Skreen. To remove everything Skreen stored, uninstall the app, or, on Android, clear its data in the app settings.
• Revoke Skreen's access at Google: in your Google Account under Security → Your connections to third-party apps and services, choose Skreen and remove access. Skreen can no longer read or change your Google data from that moment.
• Ask us: to request deletion of anything we might hold about you, email support@skreen.fyi. We'll confirm within 30 days. Since Skreen keeps no copy of your Google data, the practical answer is usually that nothing is held.

Google API Services User Data Policy

Skreen's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data from Google is used only to provide the features described above, is not used for advertising, and is not read by humans.

Your choices

• Choose exactly which calendars and which task list Skreen uses in its Settings.
• Sign out in Skreen's Settings at any time.
• Revoke access completely in your Google Account under Security → Your connections to third-party apps and services.
• Uninstalling the app removes everything it stored on your device.
