Tap a prompt to compare it with the label.
Not on the label

Location is not on Artful Agenda's label. That can be fine: data used only on your iPhone does not have to be declared. If the data would need to leave the phone for the feature to work, ask why it is missing.

Matches the label

Artful Agenda lists User Content on its label, linked to you. Choose Limited Access and pick only the photos you want to share.

Matches the label

Artful Agenda lists Contacts on its label, linked to you. Limited Access shares selected contacts instead of your whole address book.

Expected — and you can decline

Artful Agenda declares data used to track you, so expect the “Allow to track?” prompt. Tap Ask App Not to Track; the app must keep working without it.

Not on the label

Health & Fitness is not on Artful Agenda's label. That can be fine: data used only on your iPhone does not have to be declared. If the data would need to leave the phone for the feature to work, ask why it is missing.

A permission is what the app can reach on your iPhone; the label is what the developer says leaves it. They answer different questions.

Reading the label

What Artful Agenda's label means for you

Artful Agenda's label has 5 types under “Data Used to Track You”, 8 types under “Data Linked to You”. A data type can appear in more than one section when it is used for different purposes — for example, identifiers used for both analytics and advertising.

Tracking is the declaration that most separates apps. It means purchases, contact info, browsing history, identifiers, usage data from Artful Agenda can be combined with data from other companies to target or measure ads, or shared with data brokers. On iOS 14.5 and later, the app must ask your permission before tracking you through the advertising identifier; answering “Ask App Not to Track” blocks that identifier and tells the developer you have declined.

The items that deserve the most attention are contacts, user content and browsing history. Uploading contacts shares other people's details, not just yours.

Calendars reveal where you will be and who you meet. Planner apps may also read your other calendars and reminders. Check the Calendars permission level (full access or add-only) in Settings › Privacy & Security › Calendars.

Among the 152 calendar planners in our snapshot with a label, 41% declare tracking, 60% collect data linked to you and 26% say they collect nothing. Artful Agenda lists 8 data types, more than the average of 2.9 for this group.

Productivity apps tend to collect the work you do in them — documents, notes and files — so User Content is common. The question is whether it syncs to the developer's servers and how it is protected there.

On your iPhone

Settings to check for Artful Agenda

  1. 1

    Tracking

    Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. If “Allow Apps to Request to Track” is off, apps cannot ask, and they are told to treat you as having declined. You can also turn it off for this app alone.

  2. 2

    Photos

    Settings › Privacy & Security › Photos. Limited Access lets you pick exactly which pictures the app can see; Add Photos Only lets it save without reading your library.

  3. 3

    Contacts

    Settings › Privacy & Security › Contacts. Limited Access shares only the people you select instead of your whole address book.

  4. 4

    Sign-in

    When creating an account, Sign in with Apple can give the app a relay address from Hide My Email instead of your real one.

  5. 5

    Lock the app

    On iOS 18 and later, touch and hold the icon and choose Require Face ID. Anyone who picks up your unlocked phone then needs your face, fingerprint or passcode to open it.

  6. 6

    Notifications

    Settings › Notifications › Artful Agenda › Show Previews: When Unlocked keeps message and account details off the Lock Screen.

Cross-app tracking

Does Artful Agenda track you?

iOS 18 and later

Lock Artful Agenda behind Face ID

  1. Find Artful Agenda on your Home Screen or in App Library.
  2. Touch and hold the icon until the quick-actions menu opens.
  3. Tap Require Face ID (or Require Touch ID / Require Passcode, depending on your iPhone).
  4. Tap Require Face ID again to confirm. Artful Agenda now asks for authentication every time it opens.

The lock is an iPhone feature, so it works whether or not Artful Agenda has a passcode of its own. It does not change what the app sends to its developer.

Read with care

What the label cannot tell you

  • A label is self-reported. Apple publishes the developer's answers and can reject apps that misrepresent them, but it does not independently verify what Artful Agenda sends.
  • It does not say where data is stored, how long it is kept, whether it is encrypted, or which companies receive it. The privacy policy covers those points.
  • Optional data counts: if a feature lets you add something (a profile photo, a phone number), the type is listed even if you never use the feature.
  • Data handled only on your iPhone is not 'collected', so a no-collection label is compatible with an app that reads your files locally.
  • Third-party sign-in, payment processors and SDKs are supposed to be included, but a label can lag behind a new version.

The question to ask Artful Agenda's developer: Does it need to read my calendars, or only add events?
