Privacy, without the fog.

What TidyHouse stores

The app stores the information you choose to enter so its core features work. This can include:

• Home information: room or area names, optional details, images, and notes.
• Care routines: chore types, repeat intervals or weekdays, due times, reminders, and optional sub-tasks.
• History: task completion status, journal entries, tags, and photos you attach.
• Preferences: theme, language, notification choices, forgiving mode, onboarding state, and analytics consent choices.
• Backups: when you create a local backup, TidyHouse packages app data into a ZIP file at the location you select through Android’s document picker.

TidyHouse does not ask for your name, address, contacts, location, or a password to use the core app.

Services and data that may leave the device

The app includes third-party services for advertising, diagnostics, and optional purchases. Their own policies also apply to information they process:

• Google Mobile Ads and Google’s consent tools: may process advertising and device information to request or measure ads. Ads are requested only when the applicable consent and app state allow them. Privacy choices can be revisited from the app’s Settings screen.
• Firebase Analytics: may receive screen views, feature events, and limited app settings for product improvement when analytics collection is enabled through consent and the app preference.
• Firebase Crashlytics: may receive technical crash and non-fatal diagnostic information in release builds to help identify and fix reliability problems.
• RevenueCat and Google Play Billing: process purchase and entitlement information when you use TidyHouse Pro. TidyHouse does not receive your full payment card details.

TidyHouse does not sell your room content, journal entries, or photos. The app does not upload local backups to a TidyHouse server. If you choose to place a backup in another provider’s storage, that provider’s terms and privacy policy apply.

Permissions and why they are used

• Camera: optional, for taking a photo of a room or area.
• Notifications: optional, for reminding you when a scheduled chore is due.
• Alarms and background work: used to schedule and recover reminders after app restarts, device reboots, or missed delivery windows.
• Internet: used by included third-party services such as ads, diagnostics, and purchase verification; core room data remains local-first.
• Files: accessed only through Android’s file picker when you choose to create or restore a local backup.

Your choices and deletion

You can control notifications, theme, language, analytics preference, Google privacy options, and backups from Settings. You can also refuse camera and notification permissions; the related features will be unavailable or limited, but the rest of the app can continue to work.

TidyHouse does not create an app account, so there is no remote TidyHouse account to close. To delete the local app data, first export any backup you want to keep, then use Android Settings → Apps → TidyHouse → Storage → Clear storage, or uninstall TidyHouse. Delete any exported backup ZIP files separately from the storage location where you saved them.

Clearing app data or uninstalling does not cancel a Google Play subscription. Manage or cancel subscriptions through Google Play. For purchase help, contact support with the in-app Support ID shown in Settings.

Security and retention

Local app data is stored in Android app-private storage. TidyHouse keeps it until you remove it, clear app data, uninstall the app, or overwrite it through restore. Data handled by third-party services is retained according to their policies and operational needs.

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. Keep exported backups in a place you trust and do not share them unless you intend to share the data inside.

Children’s privacy
