### Calendar data
Calendula is a viewer and editor for the calendars Android already manages. It reads and writes events, reminders and calendar settings through Android's system calendar provider. The app keeps **no database of its own** — your events live in the system calendar, exactly where they lived before you installed Calendula, and they remain there if you uninstall it.

Note: if one of those system calendars is itself synchronised with an online account (for example a Google account, or a CalDAV server via DAVx5), that synchronisation is performed by Android and that other app — not by Calendula. The privacy policy of the respective provider applies to it.
