What HomeHQ stores
HomeHQ keeps the home records you and your household create: homes and their addresses, areas, equipment, documents and photos, maintenance schedules and history, expenses, service providers, lists, and your house map (its floors, their drawings, and the spots you pin), along with your account email and display name. When you trace a photo of a floor plan or scan a room with your device’s camera, the photo or scan is processed on your device and only the resulting walls are saved; the photo and the scan are not uploaded. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email address, your name if you choose to share it, and that account’s identifier; Google also sends the link to your profile picture. We use them only to sign you in and to show your name to your household. If you subscribe to HomeHQ Pro, Apple or Google tells us your subscription’s status and renewal date through our subscription service provider, RevenueCat, which receives the store’s purchase records and a random account number, not your name or email. A purchase on Google Play also carries a one-way hash of that number, which Google Play can use to detect irregular activity. We never receive your payment details. Records belong to your household and are only visible to people you invite.
Where it lives
Your records are stored with our hosting provider (Supabase) in a private database and private file storage, on servers in the United States. Subscription purchases are processed by RevenueCat. Account emails (confirming your address, resetting your password) are sent through our email provider, Resend, and the page that confirms your address is hosted on GitHub Pages. When the app opens, it asks our app-update service, Expo, whether a newer version is available; that request carries a random number for this installation, not your account. If you allow notifications, the app registers this phone with Expo’s notification service, and HomeHQ keeps that phone’s notification address and time zone with your account to send the reminders you choose in Settings → Notifications: what’s due in your home, and news about your household. Each reminder’s text, such as a task’s or an item’s name, passes through Expo and then Apple or Google to reach your phone. Turn notifications off in Settings → Notifications or in your phone’s settings; signing out removes this phone’s address. Files are never publicly accessible; the app retrieves them with short-lived signed links. Our service providers process data only to run HomeHQ and are bound to protect it at least as carefully as we do.
Optional document organizing
When you choose “Find home details,” HomeHQ sends that one document to our AI processing provider, OpenAI, solely to return proposed home records. HomeHQ does not send your account email or profile with the document. HomeHQ asks for your explicit permission before the first document is sent, records that permission, and never sends a document without it; you can withdraw it any time in Settings. Under OpenAI’s API terms, documents are not used to train its models and are kept for up to 30 days to monitor for abuse, then deleted, unless the law requires longer. Nothing the organizer proposes is added until you review and confirm it, and you can keep using documents without this feature.
What we never do
We do not sell your data, show ads, or share your household records with advertisers. We use service providers only to operate features described here. Local provider searches open in the Maps app you pick and send only your service category and coarse locality (city, state, postal code) — never your street address or contact details.
Analytics
Production product analytics are not enabled in this build. HomeHQ is designed to use a small set of anonymous product events (for example “task created”) if analytics are enabled later. Those events may not include names, addresses, document contents, notes, amounts, or household text.
Deleting your data
We keep your records for as long as your account exists, unless you delete them sooner. When you delete a record (an item, task, expense, service provider, area, list, map floor or map pin), it disappears from the app immediately and is permanently erased from our servers within 30 days. You can delete your account any time from Settings; it also asks RevenueCat to delete its record of your purchases, but it doesn’t cancel a subscription, which you cancel in your Apple ID settings or under Subscriptions in Google Play. Homes only you belong to and their database records are permanently deleted; stored files are committed to a restricted cleanup queue that retries until removal succeeds. In homes you share, records remain with the household but are no longer attributed to you. Account deletion cannot be undone.
Your rights
You can see and correct your records in the app, export your home summary from Settings, and delete records or your whole account at any time. To get a copy of all your data, or to ask us to correct it, delete it, or stop using it, email neil@pasricha.ai; we reply within one month.
If you’re in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland
Neil Pasricha runs HomeHQ and is responsible for your personal data (its “controller” under the EU and UK GDPR); contact neil@pasricha.ai. We use your data to provide the service you signed up for (performance of a contract), including the reminders you turn on, send a document to OpenAI only with your permission (consent, which you can withdraw in Settings at any time), and keep the app updated, working and secure (our legitimate interests). You also have the right to restrict or object to our use of your data and to receive it in a portable format. HomeHQ does not profile you or make automated decisions about you. Your data is stored and processed in the United States by the providers named above. Where the law requires a safeguard for these transfers, it comes from our providers’ data processing terms: the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses and their UK and Swiss equivalents, or, for Expo, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and its UK and Swiss extensions. If you think we have mishandled your data, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live or work.
