Privacy Policy — HouseKeep

Effective date: 2026-05-26 Last updated: 2026-05-26

This Privacy Policy explains how the HouseKeep mobile application ("HouseKeep", "the App", "we", "us") handles your information. By using HouseKeep, you agree to this Policy.

1. Who we are

HouseKeep is published by David Rubio Mota, located at Calle Calderón de la Barca 7, Rubí, 08191 Barcelona, Spain. For any privacy-related question, contact us at darumo092@gmail.com.

2. The short version

HouseKeep is local-first. Everything you enter — appliances, maintenance schedules, documents, photos, notes — is stored on your device only. We do not run servers that store your data. We do not have an account system. We cannot read your data.

The only information that ever leaves your device:

Anonymous crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics), if enabled by your OS settings.
Anonymous usage analytics (Firebase Analytics), if enabled by your OS settings.
Purchase tokens (Apple / Google / RevenueCat) when you buy the Pro upgrade — strictly to validate your purchase.

That is the entire list.

3. Data stored on your device

The following data is stored locally on your device, in HouseKeep's private app sandbox:

Item details: name, category, brand, model, purchase date, warranty months, notes
Photos you attach to items or documents
Maintenance entries: name, interval, last completed date, reminder offsets
Document details: name, type, expiry date, notes, attached photos
App preferences: language, home type, onboarding completion flag, premium status flag

This data does not leave your device and cannot be accessed by us or third parties. Uninstalling HouseKeep permanently deletes it.

4. Data sent off device

4.1 Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics)

If your OS allows it, technical crash reports are sent to Firebase Crashlytics. These contain device model, OS version, app version, stack trace, and a randomly generated installation ID. They do not contain any of your items, documents, photos, or notes. Crash reports help us fix bugs.

Provider: Google Ireland Limited. Privacy policy.

4.2 Usage analytics (Firebase Analytics)

Anonymous interaction events (e.g. "paywall_opened", "item_added") are sent to Firebase Analytics if your OS allows it. These do not contain the content of your items or documents. They help us understand which features are used.

Provider: Google Ireland Limited.

4.3 In-app purchases (RevenueCat + Apple / Google)

When you purchase the Pro upgrade, your purchase token is processed by Apple App Store or Google Play and validated through RevenueCat to unlock Pro features. RevenueCat stores an anonymous installation ID and the purchase transaction.

Providers:

Apple Inc. / Google LLC (transaction processing)
RevenueCat, Inc. (privacy policy)

We do not receive your name, email, payment card, or address from the stores. We receive only a Pro entitlement status.

5. Permissions we request

Permission	Why
Camera	To photograph items, receipts, or documents you choose to attach
Photo library	To pick existing photos to attach
Notifications	To remind you about maintenance and document expiry
Storage (Android)	To save photos in HouseKeep's app folder

You can revoke any permission at any time in your OS settings. HouseKeep will continue to work; only the related feature will be disabled.

6. Notifications

Notifications are local notifications scheduled by your device. We do not send push notifications from a server. The text of the notification (e.g. "Boiler service due in 7 days") is generated and stored locally.

7. Your rights under GDPR / UK GDPR / CCPA

Because the App does not store your personal data on our servers, most data-subject rights apply directly through your device:

Right to access: all your data is already accessible inside the App.
Right to deletion: uninstall the App, or delete individual items inside it.
Right to portability: (Pro feature, coming soon: data export.)
Right to object to processing: disable Crashlytics / Analytics in your OS privacy settings.

For data we do process off-device (anonymous crash / analytics / purchase token), you may request information by emailing darumo092@gmail.com.

8. Children

HouseKeep is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

9. Data retention

On-device data: kept until you delete it or uninstall the App.
Crashlytics / Analytics: retained per Google's policies (typically up to 14 months for events).
Purchase records: retained by Apple / Google / RevenueCat per their respective policies.

10. International transfers

If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, anonymous crash and analytics data may be transferred to and processed in the United States by Google. Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses for these transfers.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy. If we make material changes we will update the "Last updated" date and, when possible, notify you inside the App. Continued use after the change means you accept the updated Policy.
