Privacy Policy

HomyIQ is your household’s calm command center. Here’s exactly what we collect, why, and the control you keep over it — in plain language.

Last updated 7 June 2026

The short version

  • We collect only what’s needed to run your household — and we never sell it or use it for advertising.
  • Your household’s content is private to your household, protected by per-row database security.
  • You can export your data or delete your account at any time.

What we collect

We collect the information needed to give every member of your household a working, shared home hub:

  • Account detailsyour name, email address, a hashed password, and a profile photo if you choose to add one.
  • Household contentthe tasks, shopping lists, notes, reminders, calendar events, and the documents and receipts you upload — plus basic details about your household and its members.
  • Subscription detailsif you subscribe to a paid plan, your subscription status and limited billing metadata. Payment card details go directly to Stripe — we never see or store your full card number.
  • Notification tokensif you turn on reminders, a push subscription token for the device or browser you enabled them on.
  • Photos & camera captureswhen you photograph or upload a receipt, flyer, recipe, or document, we process that image to pull out the details you asked for.
  • Voice inputif you use voice quick-add, your device’s built-in speech recognition turns speech into text — we receive only the resulting text, never an audio recording.
  • Approximate locationonly if you turn on the weather card: your device’s coarse location is used to fetch local weather, and is not linked to your identity.
  • Connected accountsif you connect Google Calendar or Google Drive, the calendar events and files you choose to sync — used only to provide that integration, and revocable anytime.
  • Technical databasic server logs, app performance and crash diagnostics, and your approximate language and region — used to keep HomyIQ running well.

How we use your data

  • Run the features you useand keep them in sync across everyone in your household.
  • Send the reminders you ask forand deliver notifications you’ve opted into.
  • Process subscriptionsand manage your plan.

  • Keep HomyIQ securediagnose problems, and fix bugs.

We do not sell your data, use it for cross-site advertising, or use your household’s content to train AI models.

Services we rely on

We work with a small set of trusted providers. Each one only processes data to deliver its service to us:

  • Supabaseour database, sign-in, and file storage. Your account and household data live here, protected by row-level security so only your household can read it.
  • Stripepayment processing for subscriptions. Stripe handles card data directly under the PCI-DSS standard; we receive only your subscription status and limited billing metadata.
  • Web push servicesyour browser’s push service (operated by Apple, Google, or Mozilla) delivers reminder notifications when you opt in.
  • Vercelhosting, plus privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics and performance metrics that are aggregated and not tied to your identity.
  • Sentryerror and crash diagnostics, so we can find and fix problems quickly.
  • Anthropic (Claude)powers our AI features. When you use them, only the content needed — a receipt or flyer image, a recipe, or the text of an email you forward — is sent to Anthropic to produce the result. It is not used to train Anthropic’s models.
  • Google AI (Document AI & Gemini)additional optical-character-recognition and AI processing for the receipts and documents you capture.
  • Google account integrations (Calendar & Drive)only if you connect them: we access the calendar events and Drive files you choose to sync. You can disconnect at any time.
  • PostHogprivacy-conscious product analytics that help us see which features are used so we can improve them.
  • Open-Meteothe weather service behind the optional weather card. It receives only coarse coordinates — never your identity.

Cookies & local storage

We keep things lean. HomyIQ uses only essential cookies and local storage — to keep you signed in, remember your language, theme, and accessibility preferences, and (in shopping mode) hold changes you make while offline until you reconnect.

We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Your rights & choices

  • Access & exportrequest a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Correctionedit your profile and household content directly in the app, anytime.
  • Deletiondelete your account anytime from in-app settings, or email support@homyiq.com to request deletion. This removes your personal data and, where you’re the last member, your household’s data.
  • Notificationsturn reminder categories on or off in the app, or revoke push permission in your browser at any time.

Depending on where you live — for example under the EU/UK GDPR or California’s CCPA — you may have additional rights. Contact us and we’ll help you exercise them.

Data retention & security

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days — except limited records (such as payment history) we’re legally required to retain.

Your data is encrypted in transit, and access is restricted by authentication and row-level security. No system is perfectly secure, but we work hard to protect your information and will notify you of any serious incident as required by law.

Children

HomyIQ is built for adults managing a household. It is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

International transfers

HomyIQ is available worldwide, so your data may be processed in a country other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate legal safeguards to protect it during these transfers.

Changes to this policy

We’ll update this page whenever our practices change and revise the “last updated” date above. If a change is significant, we’ll highlight it inside the app.
