Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Kamomi (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our website, calendar, and related services (the “Service”).

Kamomi is a multicultural product and service, including our calendar service designed to help people view Chinese and British festivals and holidays, create personal events, and, where available, share calendars and events with other people.

1. Who we are

For questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal information, please contact us via this link.

2. Information we collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us, information generated when you use the Service, and limited technical information needed to operate and protect the Service.

Account information

If you create an account, we may collect information such as:

Your name or display name
Your email address
Your password, stored in a protected form
Your profile information
Your account preferences

If you sign in using a third-party authentication provider, such as Google, we may receive basic account information from that provider in accordance with your settings with that provider.

Calendar and event information

When you create or manage events, we may collect and store the information you choose to enter, such as:

Event titles
Dates and times
Locations
Descriptions or notes
Reminders
Recurring event settings
Calendar names
Information about people you choose to associate with an event

You should avoid adding sensitive personal information to event titles, descriptions, notes, or other fields unless it is necessary and appropriate for your use of the Service.

Shared calendars and events

If you use features that allow you to share calendars or events with other people, information you add may be visible to the people with whom you choose to share it.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have an appropriate reason and, where required, permission to add other people's personal information to shared events or calendars.

Technical information

We may automatically collect limited technical information, such as:

IP address
Browser type and version
Device type
Operating system
Pages or features accessed
Date and time of access
Error and diagnostic information

3. How we use your information

We may use your information to:

Create and manage your account
Provide the calendar and event functionality
Save and synchronise your events and calendars
Enable calendar sharing where you choose to use it
Send reminders and service-related notifications
Respond to support requests
Maintain and improve the Service
Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and security incidents
Keep the Service secure and reliable
Comply with legal obligations

4. Legal bases for processing

Where UK data protection law applies, we process personal information using one or more lawful bases, including:

Contract: where processing is necessary to provide the Service you have requested.
Legitimate interests: where necessary to operate, secure, improve, and administer the Service, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
Consent: where we ask for your consent, such as for certain optional communications or technologies.
Legal obligation: where processing is necessary for us to comply with the law.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, provide essential functionality, and understand how the Service is used.

Some cookies may be necessary for the Service to function. Where required by law, we will request your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, our cookie preferences tool.

6. Analytics

We may use analytics tools to understand how people use the Service, identify technical problems, and improve the product.

If we use analytics that require consent under applicable law, we will request that consent before activating them.

7. When we share information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with service providers that help us operate the Service. These providers may include hosting providers, database providers, authentication providers, email providers, analytics providers, security providers, and customer-support providers.

These providers are only permitted to process information as necessary to provide services to us and are subject to appropriate contractual and security requirements.

We may also disclose information where required by law, legal proceedings, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users, our business, or others.

8. User-generated content

Events, calendar names, descriptions, notes, and other information that you create are stored so that we can provide the functionality you request.

If you choose to share content with another person, that person may be able to view the information according to the sharing settings available within the Service.

We do not use private calendar content for advertising purposes. Where we use aggregated or anonymised information to improve the Service, it will no longer identify you personally.

9. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal information within a reasonable period, subject to information that we are required or permitted to retain for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or legitimate business purposes.

Backup copies may remain for a limited period before they are automatically overwritten or securely deleted.

10. International transfers

Some of our service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps required by applicable data protection law to protect that information.

11. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have the right to:

Request access to your personal information
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of your information
Request restriction of processing
Object to certain processing
Request portability of information you have provided
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise your rights, contact us at this link.

You also have the right to complain to the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), if you believe your information has been handled unlawfully.

12. Account deletion

You may request deletion of your account by contacting us at this link or by using the account deletion functionality provided within the Service, if available.

Deleting your account may also affect calendars or events that you have shared with other users. We will explain any material consequences before completing a deletion request where appropriate.

13. Children's privacy

The Service is not intended for children who are not legally able to enter into the relevant terms of service.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information improperly, please contact us at this link.

14. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no online service can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and should contact us immediately if you believe your account has been compromised.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Service, legal requirements, or our privacy practices.

When we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice, where appropriate. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
