This Privacy Policy governs how Homsy ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information from users ("User" or "you") of the Homsy mobile application ("App") and [https://gethomsy.com] ("Website").
We collect personal information from Users in various ways, including visits to our Website, registration on the App, orders, newsletter subscriptions, forms, and interactions with App features. This includes your name, email address, phone number, and billing information, provided voluntarily by Users.
We collect non-personal information during User interactions with our App or Website, such as device type, operating system, and browser name.
We use personal information to personalize User experience, improve our App, and communicate via email.
We use non-personal information to analyze trends, administer the App, and improve user experience.
We implement data collection, storage, and processing practices, and security measures to protect personal information.
We do not sell personal information. We may share aggregated demographic information with partners.
When you buy Homsy Pro in the web app, Stripe processes the payment as the seller (merchant of record) and handles the card details, tax and receipts under its own privacy policy. We receive the plan, the price and a reference for the purchase, not your card details. Section 11 describes what we report to Google Analytics about it.
We are not responsible for the content or practices of third-party websites linked to our App or Website.
We may disclose personal information if required by law.
We access Google Calendar data for the purpose of enabling calendar import functionality in Homsy. This data is used exclusively to import calendar events as tasks within our app. These tasks, derived from users' calendar events, are visible in the app and can be managed and completed by the users, enhancing their productivity and time management.
Homsy use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
We obtain explicit consent from users before accessing Google user data.
We implement robust security measures, including encrypted data transmission using SSL/TLS, regular security audits, and strict access controls, to protect Google user data.
When you scan a barcode that neither your phone nor your household has seen before, the App sends that barcode number to Open Food Facts, an independent open food database, and asks for the product's name, brand, size, category and picture.
Nothing about you goes with that request: no account, no email, no household, no location and no list of what else you keep. The request carries the barcode and the App's name, and that is all. Like any request on the internet, it reaches their servers from your network address, and Open Food Facts handles it under its own privacy policy and terms. The answer is saved on your device and with your household, so the next scan of the same product needs no request at all.
Product data from Open Food Facts is © Open Food Facts contributors and is made available under the Open Database License (ODbL) v1.0, with individual contents under the Database Contents License. Homsy credits Open Food Facts wherever that data is shown.
Pantry uses your camera only when you open it to scan a barcode or to read the date on a label. The reading happens on your device, with the text recognition built into your phone (Apple's Vision framework on iOS, Google's ML Kit on Android). Camera images never leave your device: we do not upload them, store them with your items or send them to any cloud service. Only the result, a barcode number or a date, is kept.
The items you keep, the places you keep them (such as fridge, freezer and cupboard) and the log of food used up or thrown away are household data. They sync between your household's devices and our servers like the rest of Homsy, everyone in your household can see them, and we never sell them or use them for advertising. When you delete your account you leave your households: Pantry data stays with the members still in them, and a household whose last member leaves is deleted with all its data, Pantry included, under the retention terms below.
At Homsy, you retain full rights to your data. We collect information to provide and improve our services, communicate with you, and ensure the safety of our services. We will never sell your personal data to third parties and only share data with your permission or when legally required. Our services use GDPR-compliant third-party services when necessary, with strong security measures to protect your data.
We use cookies on our Website to optimize user experience. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may affect the functionality of our services. All data transmitted through our service is secured with SSL protocol.
This Website runs Google Analytics 4 on every page. It records page views with the page address, the referring page, general location and device category, in aggregate, with your IP address truncated. Because the tag is Google's, Google sets cookies in your browser and receives your IP address under its own terms.
Each tool page also sends one event named tool_used, and it carries one thing: the name of the tool, such as "chore-split-calculator". It is how we know which tools are worth keeping. A click through to the App Store or Google Play is counted the same way, as a store click. Nothing you enter on a tool page — no name, figure, list or answer — is sent with it.
The web app at app.gethomsy.com runs the same Google Analytics 4 tag, on the same property as the Website, so we can see how many visitors go on to use the web app and buy Pro there. It records page views with the kind of page only, such as "/shopping/:id" — never the id of a list or task, and never the part of the address after a question mark, and these events, each with only the labels listed:
No event carries your name, email address, the name of a household or of anyone in it, or anything you write or track in the app — no task, chore, list item, note, event or amount.
To report a web purchase, the web app passes our server the Google Analytics browser ID and session ID of your visit when you start a checkout. We store them with the checkout at Stripe, and once Stripe confirms the payment our server sends the purchase event above to Google Analytics with those IDs, so the purchase counts once and joins the visit it came from. If our server cannot send it, the web app sends the same event from your browser when Stripe returns you to it.
We employ strong security features to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Information is retained until you delete your account, with a 90-day retention in backup archives post-deletion. Subscription and transaction records are kept longer as per legal requirements.
You can request to delete your account and associated data through our App settings. Upon account deletion, we will cease providing services to you and remove your personal information as per your request.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy. Any changes will be indicated by an updated revision date. Significant changes will be communicated more prominently. Continued use of our App or Website after such changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
