Privacy

ChoreDropper has no accounts. It never asks for your email address, your phone number or your real name. It holds the chores your household types in, and almost nothing else. Nothing is sold, nothing is shared with advertisers, and there is no tracking of any kind.

• A name for your household and the house code you chose.
• The first names of the people in it, and the colour each person picked.
• Your chores: their names, any notes, when they are due and who they belong to.
• Your meal plan, if you use it, and who is cooking.
• Your bin day and bin colours, if you set them.
• A record of what was done, by whom and when, so the household can look back.
• Your household's time zone, read once from the device that started the household.
• Each person's quiet hours.
• Anything you write in the suggestion box, and which member wrote it. These are read by the person who builds the app, so please do not put anything private in one.
• If you turn notifications on, an address supplied by your phone's own notification service so messages can reach that phone.

• No email addresses, passwords or phone numbers.
• No location. The time zone is read from your device's own setting, not from where you are.
• No access to your contacts, photos, camera or microphone.
• No analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels, no third-party trackers of any sort.
• No profile of you, and nothing that follows you to other apps or websites.

On a single server in Sydney, Australia, rented from Fly.io. It is not copied anywhere else, and it is not sent overseas, except that notifications must pass through Apple's or Google's notification services to reach a phone. Those services see the notification text, for example “Sam finished the washing up”, because that is how a notification arrives.

Anyone who knows your house code can join your household and see what is in it. Treat the code the way you would a key to the house. You can change it at any time on the Me page.

The person who runs ChoreDropper has technical access to the server, as anyone running a service must, and will not look at a household's contents except when you have asked for help with a problem and it cannot be solved any other way.

Two, and neither tracks you. One remembers the house code for this device so you do not type it every time. The other remembers which person this device belongs to. There are no advertising or analytics cookies, which is why you are not being asked to accept anything.

A household may well include children, and their first name may appear on a chore. Nothing else about them is collected, there is no account for them, and there is nothing in the app directed at them for commercial purposes.

For as long as the household uses ChoreDropper. Removing someone from a household stops their name appearing on new chores, while what they already did stays in the history so the record makes sense.

Leaving a house on the Me page removes that household and that person from the device you are holding, and switches that phone's notifications off.

To have an entire household deleted from the server, email help@choredropper.com from any device with the app on it and say which household. It will be deleted, in full, within seven days, and you will be told when it is done.

What exactly is deleted, and what the shops keep

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the app will say so rather than quietly updating this page. The date at the top always shows the current version.

Email help@choredropper.com. A person reads it.
