📋 Quick Overview
Your privacy matters to us. Here's what you need to know in plain English:
- What we collect: Your account info, home data (items, expenses, maintenance), and receipts you upload.
- How we use it: To run the app, send you reminders, sync with Google Calendar (if you choose), and generate AI maintenance tips.
- Who we share with: Only services needed to make the app work (like our database host). We never sell your data.
- Your control: You can view, edit, delete, or export your data anytime. Turn off notifications whenever you want.
- Security & reliability: We use industry-standard encryption, secure passwords, isolated household data, and Sentry for anonymous error monitoring (no PII is transmitted).
The detailed policy below covers everything in legal terms, but this is the gist of it.
