Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 7, 2026

1. Introduction

MyHouseHold (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our application.

2. Data We Collect

We collect the following types of data:

  • Account information: Name, email address, and profile picture (when signing in via Google OAuth).
  • Household data: To-do lists, grocery lists, notes, recipes, meal plans, places, storage items, and other content you create within the app.
  • Usage data: Basic interaction data to improve the service (e.g., feature usage, error logs).
  • Payment data: If you subscribe to Premium, payment is processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card details — only your Stripe customer ID and subscription status.
  • Push notification tokens: If you opt in to push notifications, we store your device token to deliver notifications.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to:

  • Provide and maintain the MyHouseHold service.
  • Enable household sharing and real-time collaboration.
  • Process payments for Premium subscriptions via Stripe.
  • Provide AI-powered features (recipes, meal suggestions) using OpenAI — your prompts are sent to OpenAI’s API but are not used to train their models.
  • Send push notifications you have opted into.
  • Improve the service and fix bugs.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your personal data based on:

  • Contract: Processing necessary to provide the service you signed up for.
  • Consent: For optional features like push notifications and cookies.
  • Legitimate interest: For service improvement and security.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:

  • Supabase: Database hosting (PostgreSQL).
  • Stripe: Payment processing for Premium subscriptions.
  • OpenAI: AI features (chat, recipe suggestions) — only the content of your prompts is sent.
  • Google: OAuth authentication (if you choose to sign in with Google).

6. Cookies & Local Storage

We use essential cookies for authentication (session tokens) and local storage for user preferences (language, theme). We do not use third-party tracking cookies or analytics cookies.

7. Data Retention

Your data is retained as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your personal data will be removed within 30 days. Household data shared with other members may persist for those members.

8. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are in the EEA, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data.
  • Rectify inaccurate data.
  • Erase your data (“right to be forgotten”).
  • Restrict processing of your data.
  • Data portability — receive your data in a structured format.
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interest.
  • Withdraw consent at any time for consent-based processing.

To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below.

9. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS), Row Level Security on our database, and secure authentication via NextAuth.js.

10. International Transfers

Your data may be processed in the United States (via our service providers). For EEA users, these transfers are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via the app or email.
