Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

The Short Version

You can use Family Life apps without an account, and then your data never leaves your device. If you create an account so your data syncs between devices, we store that data on our servers on your behalf. We don’t sell it, we don’t advertise against it, and you can ask us to delete all of it.

Two Ways to Use the Apps

Without an account. Every app opens in a local mode you can use straight away. Your notes, tasks, habits and everything else are written to storage on your device — the app’s private storage on Android, your browser’s IndexedDB on the web. Nothing is sent to us.

With an account. If you sign up, the app syncs your data to our backend at api.familylife.space so you can reach it from more than one device. This is the mode the apps start in when installed from an app store.

What We Store When You Have an Account

Your account details — the email address you sign up with, the name you give us, and the internal identifiers we generate for your account and household.
The content you create in the app — depending on which app you use, that means things like tasks, habits, goals, notes, events and the categories and tags you organise them with.

We only ever store what the app sends in the course of doing what you asked it to do. We do not build a profile of you, and we do not use your content for anything except giving it back to you.

What We Don’t Do

We don’t sell or rent your data.
We don’t show ads, and the apps contain no advertising SDKs.
Released builds ship without analytics or crash-reporting services enabled, so we collect no usage or telemetry data. If we ever turn those on, we’ll say so here and update our Google Play Data safety declaration.
We don’t share your data with third parties, other than the hosting our servers run on.

How Your Data Travels and Is Stored

All traffic between the app and our backend goes over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).
Account data and app content are stored in our PostgreSQL database.
Each household’s data is scoped to that household, and requests are authenticated before anything is returned.

Self-Hosting

The backend is the same software we publish, so you can run it yourself and point an app at your own server. If you do, your data lives in your database and we have no access to it.

Deleting Your Data

You can ask us to delete your account and everything attached to it. The quickest way is in the app: Settings → Account → Delete Account. If you can’t get into the app, see how to delete your account.

Deletion requests are processed by us and the data is removed once the request goes through. Using an app without an account leaves nothing on our side to delete — clearing the app’s storage or uninstalling it removes that data from your device.

Cookies

These landing pages use no cookies, no analytics and no tracking scripts.

Children’s Privacy

The apps are not directed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we’ll remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
