Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how HomeBinder AI (“HomeBinder,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you use the HomeBinder AI mobile application, related websites, cloud services, and the AI assistant known as Homi (collectively, the “Service”).

HomeBinder AI is designed to help households organize and coordinate home information, responsibilities, routines, tasks, events, maintenance, documents, assets, goals, household members, and related records. Because the Service may contain information about your home and the people in it, we treat privacy and access control as core product requirements.

1. Scope

This Policy applies to information processed by HomeBinder AI through the Service. It does not govern third-party products or services that you access independently, including Apple, Google, or other providers whose own privacy policies apply to their services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account and identity information

We may process information needed to create, authenticate, secure, and support your account, such as:

• account identifier and user ID;
• name or display name;
• email address;
• authentication provider information, such as Sign in with Apple or Google sign-in identifiers;
• account status, subscription entitlement, and account-security metadata.

HomeBinder AI does not need your Apple ID password or Google account password, and authentication credentials are handled by the relevant authentication provider.

2.2 Household information you provide

Depending on the features you use, you may provide or create:

• household name and home profile information;
• household-member names, roles, relationships, responsibilities, and invitations;
• rooms, spaces, zones, ownership/stewardship assignments, and household preferences;
• tasks, routines, schedules, events, reminders, responsibilities, and goals;
• maintenance records, home systems, appliances, equipment, assets, warranties, service details, and related notes;
• documents, files, attachments, photos, records, or provenance information you choose to upload;
• calendar-related information you choose to create, import, or connect;
• messages, prompts, voice requests, clarifications, approvals, corrections, and other interactions with Homi;
• any other information you intentionally add to your household workspace.

2.3 Information about other household members

If you add or invite another person, you are responsible for having an appropriate basis to provide their information to the Service. Household organizers should avoid adding unnecessary sensitive information about other people, particularly children.

2.4 Voice and audio information

If you use voice features, the Service may process microphone audio, voice-session data, transcripts, and derived text needed to understand and respond to your request. Microphone access is requested through the operating system and can be revoked in device settings. We do not use microphone access when the feature does not require it.

2.5 Calendar and connected-service information

If you connect a supported calendar or other external account, we process only the information authorized by you and necessary to provide the requested integration. The exact categories depend on the permissions you grant. You can revoke third-party access using the relevant provider's controls and, where available, within HomeBinder AI.

2.6 Subscription and purchase information

Purchases made through Apple's App Store are processed by Apple. We may receive transaction identifiers, product/package information, entitlement status, renewal state, and related purchase metadata needed to provide paid features and restore purchases. We do not receive your full payment-card number from Apple.

2.7 Device, diagnostics, and service information

We may process information needed to operate and secure the Service, such as:

• device and app version;
• operating system and language;
• network and request metadata;
• push-notification tokens;
• authentication and security events;
• crash, error, performance, and diagnostic information;
• feature interaction or service telemetry where enabled.

2.8 Sensitive information

HomeBinder AI is capable of storing household records, so information you choose to enter may be sensitive. Do not use HomeBinder AI as a substitute for a dedicated medical-record system, emergency system, password manager, banking vault, or government identity-document vault unless the specific feature expressly states that it is designed for that purpose. Avoid uploading highly sensitive identifiers, credentials, passwords, private keys, or information that is not necessary for household organization.

3. How We Collect Information

We collect information:

• directly from you when you enter, upload, speak, approve, edit, or connect information;
• from household participants when they contribute to a shared household;
• from authentication providers when you sign in;
• from connected services only after you authorize the connection;
• automatically from the app and backend when necessary for security, diagnostics, subscription status, service delivery, and reliability.

4. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• create, authenticate, and secure accounts;
• create and maintain your household workspace;
• provide tasks, routines, calendars, responsibilities, maintenance, documents, assets, goals, notifications, and other product features;
• provide Homi's conversational and AI-assisted capabilities;
• generate context-aware household summaries, suggestions, reminders, and proposed actions;
• process user-approved actions and maintain audit/history information where the product requires it;
• sync information across supported devices and authorized household members;
• process subscriptions, entitlements, and restore-purchase requests;
• prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and security incidents;
• diagnose crashes and service failures;
• respond to support, privacy, and legal requests;
• comply with law and enforce our Terms of Use.

5. Homi and Artificial Intelligence Processing

Homi is the AI assistant within HomeBinder AI. To answer a request or perform an AI-assisted workflow, HomeBinder AI may send a limited context package to our AI/cloud infrastructure. Depending on the request, that context may include your instruction and selected household facts needed to produce the requested result.

We design the Service to avoid sending unrelated household data merely because it exists. The amount and type of context used depend on the feature and request.

AI output may be incomplete, incorrect, or outdated. Homi can help organize and reason about household information, but it is not a substitute for qualified professional advice, emergency services, or your own judgment. Important decisions—especially those involving health, safety, legal rights, finances, insurance, structural systems, utilities, or hazardous maintenance—should be independently verified.

Where HomeBinder AI presents a proposed action that changes canonical household records, the Service may require confirmation before the action is committed. Product behavior may vary by feature.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may disclose information in the following limited circumstances:

6.1 Service providers

We use service providers to operate the Service. Depending on the features enabled and our production configuration, these may include providers for:

• cloud hosting, compute, databases, storage, networking, and AI processing, including Google Cloud services and related infrastructure;
• authentication and app infrastructure, including Firebase services where used;
• subscription and entitlement management, including RevenueCat;
• voice or real-time communication infrastructure, including LiveKit where used;
• Apple services, including App Store purchases, Sign in with Apple, push notifications, and device-platform functionality;
• Google services, including Google sign-in and Google Calendar if you choose to connect them;
• security, monitoring, crash reporting, email, or support infrastructure where enabled.

These providers may process information only as needed to provide services to us and are expected to protect personal data consistent with their contractual and legal obligations.

6.2 Household members you authorize

Information in a shared household may be visible to other authorized household members according to the Service's access rules. Do not add someone to a household unless you intend for them to have the access described in the app.

6.3 Legal, safety, and security reasons

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, enforceable governmental requests, protect the rights or safety of users or others, investigate fraud or abuse, or defend legal claims.

6.4 Business transfers

If the Service or its assets are involved in a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.

7. Shared Household Data and Invitations

HomeBinder AI is built around household collaboration. A household may contain information contributed by more than one person. When you join a household, certain information you add may become part of that shared household record and may remain visible to other authorized members.

If your access to a household ends, we may retain household-level records that are needed by remaining authorized members or to preserve the integrity of shared history, subject to applicable law and our deletion practices. Personal account information that is not required for those purposes will be handled separately.

8. Connected Services and Permissions

Optional integrations may require permissions from your device or another provider. You control whether to grant those permissions. If you deny a permission, the affected feature may be unavailable, but unrelated features should continue to function where reasonably possible.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Revoking access at the third-party provider may not automatically delete data that was previously imported into HomeBinder AI; use HomeBinder AI's deletion controls or contact us if you need imported data removed.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, maintain the integrity of household records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent abuse, and maintain security.

Retention periods may differ by data type. For example, active household data may remain while the household account exists; diagnostic or security records may be retained for shorter operational periods; and certain transaction or legal records may be retained where required by law.

If HomeBinder AI supports account creation, you may request account deletion through the in-app account-deletion flow. Account deletion is available regardless of location. We will delete or de-identify personal information associated with the account unless retention is required or permitted by law, necessary to complete a transaction, protect security, or preserve legitimate shared-household records in a manner permitted by law.

Apple subscription notice: deleting your HomeBinder AI account does not automatically cancel an App Store subscription. If you have an active auto-renewable subscription, manage or cancel it through Apple's subscription settings. Account deletion and subscription cancellation are separate actions.

Where backups are used, deleted information may remain in protected backups for a limited period until those backups rotate, and is not restored to active use except where required for disaster recovery.

10. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These may include authenticated access, authorization controls, encrypted network transport, environment separation, audit mechanisms, and security monitoring.

No internet-connected system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your device, sign-in method, and account access. Contact us promptly if you believe your account or household has been compromised.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, or information about how your personal data is processed. You may also have the right to complain to a privacy or data-protection authority.

11.1 EEA, United Kingdom, and similar jurisdictions

Where applicable, we process personal data under one or more lawful bases, including performance of a contract, legitimate interests, consent, and compliance with legal obligations. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting prior lawful processing.

11.2 California and other U.S. state privacy laws

Where applicable, residents may have rights to know/access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of covered personal information, and to receive information about certain disclosures. We do not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights. We do not sell personal information for money. If our practices ever change in a way that creates a legal “sale” or “sharing” obligation, we will update our notices and provide required controls.

11.3 Kenya

Where the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019 applies, data subjects may have rights including to be informed, access personal data, object to processing, correct false or misleading data, and request deletion of false or misleading data, subject to applicable law.

To exercise a right, use the in-app controls where available or contact us using Section 16. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. Authorized-agent requests will be handled as required by applicable law.

12. Children

HomeBinder AI accounts are intended for adults who are legally able to agree to these terms in their jurisdiction. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly allow children under 13 to create independent accounts.

An adult household organizer may choose to include limited information about children as part of ordinary household organization. The organizer is responsible for ensuring that such information is appropriate and lawfully provided. Do not enter unnecessary sensitive information about children.

13. International Data Transfers

The Service may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal data, such as contractual protections or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

14. Advertising, Tracking, and Analytics

HomeBinder AI does not need to sell personal information to provide its core household-management service. If the app uses analytics, diagnostics, or attribution technologies, those technologies must be reflected accurately in the App Store privacy disclosures and used in accordance with platform rules and applicable law.

If we introduce cross-app or cross-site tracking that requires Apple's AppTrackingTransparency permission, we will request permission before engaging in that tracking. Declining such permission will not be treated as consent.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy as the Service evolves, our providers change, or legal requirements change. We will post the revised Policy with a new effective date and, when required, provide additional notice or request consent.
