General information

Deskit is an app for preparing and reviewing workdays in home office and hybrid work settings. Deskit is designed so that personal data is stored locally on the user’s iPhone.

Deskit does not store user data on its own backend servers.

What data Deskit processes

Depending on how the app is used, Deskit may process and store:

  • work entries and reviewed time data
  • absences such as vacation, sick leave, appointments, or time off
  • projects and project assignments
  • places and iBeacon configurations
  • reminders, balances, exports, and app settings

Where data is stored

Data is stored locally on the device. Deskit does not currently provide iCloud sync and does not store app data in a Deskit-operated cloud service.

No Deskit tracking or advertising

Deskit does not use third-party advertising, behavioral tracking, or analytics services to profile users.

Permissions

Depending on the features in use, Deskit may request access to:

  • location
  • Bluetooth
  • notifications

These permissions are only used to provide app functionality such as desk-based presence detection, reminders, and related review flows.

iBeacon usage

Deskit can use a small Bluetooth iBeacon placed at a desk in order to detect desk presence more precisely. The app processes relevant iBeacon-related configuration and signal information only to support presence detection at configured work locations.

This processing happens on-device. Deskit does not send this data to its own backend.

In-app purchases

Some advanced features may be unlocked through in-app purchases. Payment processing is handled by Apple. Deskit does not receive raw payment details such as credit card or banking information.

Where applicable, processing is based in particular on:

  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where processing is necessary to provide app functionality
  • Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR where consent is relevant, for example for permissions
  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR where there is a legitimate interest in secure and functional app operation

Retention

Data remains stored until it is deleted by the user inside the app or removed from the device.

Your rights

Under applicable law, you may have rights including:

  • access
  • rectification
  • erasure
  • restriction of processing
  • data portability
  • objection
  • complaint to a supervisory authority
