Effective Date: September 29, 2026 (applies to HomeHero 2.7 and later)
The short version
- There are no accounts: no email, no phone number, no password, no social sign-in. The app signs in with an anonymous identifier.
- What you enter about your household (first names, chores, points, rewards, photos you choose to add) is shared only with the people in your household.
- No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics, and we never sell data.
- You can delete your household and its photos from inside the app (You tab → Delete household data).
Who we are
HomeHero is made by Karol Jaworski ("we", "us"). This policy explains what the HomeHero app (the "App") collects, why, who can see it, and how to delete it.
Information we collect
What you enter
- Household data: the household name, each member's first name or nickname, avatar emoji, and role (kid or grown-up); the chores, rewards, routines, tasks and challenges you set up; what was logged, when and by whom; points, streaks, weekly results, reactions, reward redemptions; weekly targets; and, if you use allowance, the rate and payout amounts.
- Photos you choose to add as proof of a chore. Photos are optional. They are stored in cloud storage that can't be browsed or searched: a photo opens only through its own link, and that link is kept inside your household's data, so only your household's phones have it. HomeHero 2.7 and later open photos through links that expire after an hour; the permanent links that older versions of the App use will be switched off once households have updated. Location data is removed from photos before upload.
- Parent PIN: stored only as a one-way hash, never as the digits themselves.
Collected automatically
- An anonymous identifier created when the App first connects, used to know which household this phone belongs to. It is not linked to your name, email or Apple ID by us.
- A push notification token, only if you allow notifications, so household updates can reach this phone. You can turn household updates off in the App at any time.
- Subscription status, through Apple and RevenueCat, so Premium can unlock your household. We never see your payment details.
What stays on your phone
Settings, reminder schedules and a copy of your household are stored on your device. A small record (which household, its code, and which member this phone belongs to) is kept in your device keychain so the App can offer "Welcome back" after a reinstall; if you use iCloud Keychain, Apple syncs it to your other devices end-to-end encrypted.
What we don't collect
No location, contacts, advertising identifier, browsing history, or crash-reporting SDKs. There is no advertising in the App.
How we use it
- To run the App: keep everyone's phones in the household in sync, show scores, rewards and weekly results.
- To send the notifications you asked for (household updates and reminders).
- To unlock Premium for your household when someone subscribes.
- To keep the service secure (for example, limiting repeated wrong invite codes).
Who can see your data
- Your household: everyone who joined with your household's invite code. Share the code only with people you want in; you can get a new code at any time in the You tab, and removing someone takes away their access.
- Service providers that process data on our behalf: Supabase (database, anonymous sign-in, photo storage, notification delivery), Apple (push notifications via APNs, payments), and RevenueCat (subscription status). They may only use the data to provide their service to us.
- Legal requirements: if we are required to by law.
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information.
Purchases and Refund Requests
Purchases in HomeHero are processed by Apple. We use RevenueCat to keep track of your subscription status; RevenueCat receives the purchase records Apple provides and an app user ID, never your name or what you enter about your household. RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
If you ask Apple for a refund of a purchase made in HomeHero, Apple may ask us for information about that purchase. By making a purchase, you consent to us (through RevenueCat) sharing the following with Apple for that request: how long you have had the app, how much of the purchased period has been used, whether the purchase was delivered, and the total amount you have spent and been refunded in HomeHero. We may also tell Apple whether we think the refund should be granted. Apple makes the final decision. We never share your household's data.
Children
HomeHero is a family app. Kids' profiles are created by a grown-up in the household and contain only a first name or nickname, an avatar emoji, and the chores and points logged for them — plus photos only if the family uses photo proof. Kids can play on a grown-up's phone in Kid Mode, which hides settings and purchases. Grown-ups can edit or remove a kid's profile at any time, and can delete all household data from the App. We do not market to children and do not knowingly collect anything else from them. Parents or guardians can also contact us to review or delete a child's information.
Keeping and deleting data
- Removing an entry removes it for the whole household, and deletes its photo.
- Leave household (You tab) takes your phone out of the household. The others keep their shared history. If you are the last member, the household is deleted.
- Delete household data (You tab, grown-ups only) deletes the household, all its entries and all its photos for everyone, immediately.
- Very old entries (over a year) are condensed into totals so your history stays small; your points and levels don't change.
- Deleted data may remain in our provider's encrypted backups for a limited period (typically up to 30 days) before it is overwritten.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest by our database provider. Every household is protected by access rules so that only its members' phones can read or change it, photo storage can't be browsed or listed, and invite-code guessing is rate-limited. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and will notify you as required by law if a breach affects you.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to access, correct, export or delete your data, or object to how it's used. Most of this you can do yourself in the App (edit names, remove entries, leave, delete the household). For anything else, email us.
EEA/UK (GDPR): we process household data to provide the service you asked for (contract) and to keep it secure (legitimate interests). You can complain to your local data protection authority.
California (CCPA): we do not sell or share personal information for advertising, and you won't be treated differently for exercising your rights.
International transfers
Our providers may process data outside your country. Where required, they use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above, and for significant changes we'll let you know in the App.
