HomeHero Privacy Policy
Effective 16 June 2026
HomeHero (“we”, “us”) helps families keep their schedules in one place. We built it to be calm and private: we don’t show ads, and we don’t sell your data. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices.
Information we collect
- Account info. When you sign in with Google, Apple, or email, we receive your name and email address to create and secure your account.
- Your family details. Information you add about your household — children’s first names, colors, optional school names, and the events you create. You provide this; children do not use HomeHero or have accounts.
- Calendar data. With your permission, we read events from the calendars you connect (Google, iCloud via CalDAV, Outlook) so they appear in HomeHero. Because sync is two-way, events you create or edit in HomeHero are written back to the calendar you choose. Read-only calendars you subscribe to (iCal links) are never modified.
- Home address (optional). If you add a home address for “leave-by” travel times, we store it to calculate drive times. You can remove it anytime.
- Connection credentials. OAuth tokens for Google/Outlook, and — if you connect iCloud — your Apple ID and an app-specific password. These are stored encrypted and used only to sync your calendars. We never receive your main Apple, Google, or Microsoft password.
- Notifications. A device token, if you enable push, so we can send reminders.
- Subscriptions. Purchases are handled by Apple. We receive your subscription status (e.g. “Plus active”), not your card details.
We do not collect data to track you across other apps or websites, and we do not run advertising.
How we use your information
To provide the service: show your schedule, sync your calendars both ways, detect conflicts, send the reminders and the optional weekly digest email, calculate leave-by times, and operate your account and subscription. That’s it.
Children’s information
HomeHero is for parents and guardians. Children do not create accounts or use the app. Any information about a child is entered by an adult to organize the family’s schedule, and is treated with the same protections as the rest of your account data. We do not knowingly collect information directly from children.
Who we share it with (service providers)
We use a small set of providers to run HomeHero, each only for its function: Google, Apple, Microsoft (calendar sync and sign-in), [hosting provider] (application hosting), [database provider] (secure storage), [subscriptions provider] (subscription management), and [email provider] (sending the weekly digest and account emails). We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t share it for advertising.
Data retention & deletion
We keep your information while your account is active. You can delete your account anytime in Settings, which permanently removes your account and associated data. You can also disconnect any calendar to stop syncing it.
Security
We protect your data with encryption in transit and at rest, and we store sensitive credentials (like app-specific passwords) encrypted. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to safeguard your information.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data. You can exercise the core of these in-app (edit or delete your data, delete your account) or by contacting us at [contact email].
Changes
We’ll update this policy as the app evolves and post the new effective date here. Material changes will be communicated in-app or by email.
