Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 8, 2026
The short version: Denwise is self-hosted software that runs on hardware in your home. Your family's data — calendar, photos, chores, budget, camera feeds — stays on your device. It is not sent to us. The only things our servers ever see are what we need to sell you a license and deliver software updates: your purchase email, an anonymous hub ID, and your update/license status.
1. Who we are
"Denwise," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Wild Wallflower LLC (DBA Denwise), the provider of the Denwise software and the website at denwise.app. You can reach us at support@denwise.app.
2. What stays on your device (almost everything)
Denwise is designed so your household information never leaves your home. The following are stored and processed entirely on the device you run Denwise on, and are never transmitted to us:
- Your calendars and events, chores and points, meal plans, budget, bills, and accounts;
- Your photos (the screensaver) and any documents you store;
- Your camera feeds — these stream directly from your cameras to your display on your local network;
- Any credentials you enter (camera passwords, your calendar sign-in, your AI provider key), which are stored only on your device.
If you connect a Google or Microsoft calendar, your calendar content is exchanged directly between your device and that provider. Section 3 below sets out exactly what Google user data Denwise accesses and how it is handled.
A few built-in features fetch data from third-party services, and when they do they send only what the feature needs — never your household data. The weather widget requests a local forecast by approximate location, and a location you type on a calendar event may be looked up on a public map service to place it. Those requests go to the service, not to us.
3. Connected calendars & Google user data
Connecting an outside calendar is optional. If you connect a Google account, the following applies, in accordance with the Google API Services User Data Policy (including its Limited Use requirements). The same principles apply to Microsoft/Outlook and Apple calendars.
a. What Google user data we access
Only after you sign in and grant consent, Denwise requests:
- your Google account email address (
openid,userinfo.email) — used only to identify and label the connected calendar on your hub so you can tell your accounts apart; - your Google Calendar (
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar) — read and write: to display your events on your household hub, and to let you create or edit events you initiate (for example adding an outing you picked, or a planned dinner).
b. How we use it
Google user data is used solely to provide the calendar features you turned on — showing your events on your hub and creating or updating events you initiate. It is stored and processed on the device you run Denwise on. We do not use it for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to develop, improve, or train any AI or machine-learning model.
c. Who we share it with
We do not sell, rent, or share your Google user data with third parties. Your calendar content is exchanged directly between your hub and Google and is never stored on a Denwise server. If you use the optional one-tap "Connect with Denwise" sign-in, a Denwise-operated connection broker relays the Google authorization only to complete sign-in and to refresh access: it passes access/refresh tokens between Google and your hub and does not receive, read, or store your calendar events. If you instead use your own Google credentials, the broker is not involved at all.
d. How we protect it
All connections to Google and to the Denwise broker use encrypted transport (HTTPS/TLS). Your Google access and refresh tokens are stored on your own device. The broker keeps Denwise's confidential Google client credentials as protected server secrets, holds only short-lived sign-in state that expires automatically during the authorization handshake, and persists neither your tokens nor your calendar content.
e. Retention & deletion
Because your Google Calendar data lives on your own hub, it is retained only for as long as you keep the account connected. You can disconnect the account at any time in Settings → Calendar, which deletes the stored Google tokens from your device and stops all further access. You can also revoke Denwise's access directly from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com → Security → Third-party access. Any transient sign-in state held by the broker expires on its own within minutes. Denwise retains no server-side copy of your Google Calendar content.
f. Limited Use
Denwise's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use Google user data only to provide the user-facing calendar features described above, and we do not transfer or use it for serving advertisements or for any purpose other than those disclosed here.
4. What our servers receive
a. Software updates & licensing
To check for and deliver updates and to manage your license, your hub contacts our update service. In doing so it sends:
- a hub App ID — an anonymous identifier your device generates for itself (it is not your name and does not identify you personally);
- the version it is running and the update channel you chose;
- your license key / status when you activate or renew, so we can confirm your updates are current.
We store, against that App ID, your license tier, purchase date, update-window/expiry, and the email associated with your purchase — solely to deliver updates and support your license. We do not use it for advertising and do not sell it.
b. Feedback you choose to send
If you use the in-app "Feedback & Issues" feature, the title and text you submit are sent to our issue tracker so we can act on it. The text is length-limited and scrubbed of obvious secrets before it leaves your device. Don't include sensitive personal information in feedback.
c. Automatic update-failure reports (optional, on by default)
If an automatic update fails and rolls back, your hub sends us a diagnostic log so we can fix it. Before it leaves your device the log is scrubbed of file paths, IP addresses, hostnames, and credentials, and it contains no household content (no calendar, photos, budget, or camera data). You can turn this off in Settings → Software Upgrade; with it off, nothing is sent and you can still report a failure by hand.
5. Payments
Purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the Merchant of Record. They handle your payment details and billing; we never see or store your card information. We receive your name, email, and order details to fulfill and license your purchase. Lemon Squeezy's handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policy.
6. AI features
Denwise's optional AI helper uses your own API key for the provider you choose (e.g. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI). When you use it, your prompts go directly from your device to that provider under their terms — they do not pass through us, and we do not see or store them.
7. The denwise.app website
This marketing site is static and may use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics — aggregate visit counts only, with no cookies, no cross-site tracking, and no personal profiles. The Denwise software itself contains no analytics or telemetry. The interactive demo runs entirely in your browser with sample data and stores nothing.
8. Cookies & tracking
The Denwise software uses a session cookie on your own device only to keep you signed in to your hub locally. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
9. Data retention & your choices
We keep license/update records for as long as your license is active and as needed for support, tax, and legal purposes. You may request access to or deletion of the limited information we hold (your email, App ID, and license status) by emailing support@denwise.app. Because your household data lives on your device, you control it directly — delete it by removing it on the device.
10. Children
Denwise is family software, but it does not create online accounts for your children on our servers — family members exist only on your local device. We do not knowingly collect personal information about children through our servers.
11. Changes & contact
We may update this policy; we'll change the date above and, for material changes, note it on this page. Questions: support@denwise.app.
