Homie Scheduler — Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 17, 2026
Homie Scheduler is a household scheduling app for families. This policy
explains what data the app handles, where it goes, and what stays on your
device. The short version: your household’s data lives on your devices and
in a private synced copy only your household can read; nothing is sold,
shared for advertising, or used to train AI models; voice never leaves
your device as audio.
What the app stores
- Account data: an email address and password (password handled by our
authentication provider, Supabase — we never see it) for each adult or
invited member who signs in.
- Household data you enter: family member names and roles, events and
schedules, routines, task lists, grocery lists, and saved places
(addresses and map coordinates). This is stored on your device and — if
you enable sync — in a Supabase-hosted database (Supabase Inc., cloud
infrastructure in the United States), where row-level security
restricts every record to signed-in members of your own household.
App developers do not read household content in the normal course of
operation; like any hosted database, it is technically accessible to
the database administrator and to Supabase as the infrastructure
provider.
What leaves your device, and why
- Schedule text you type or dictate can be sent to Anthropic’s Claude
API to be turned into a structured draft event. If your household uses
its own Anthropic API key, text goes directly from your device to
Anthropic. Otherwise it passes through our proxy service, which
forwards it and stores only a count of requests per account (for
rate limiting) — never the text itself. Anthropic processes it under
its API terms, which do not permit training on API data. Parsing also
works fully offline with reduced quality; an AI failure never blocks
the app.
- Voice capture is transcribed on your device by the operating
system’s speech recognition. Audio is never uploaded. Only the
resulting text is handled as above.
- Addresses you save are sent to a geocoding service (OpenStreetMap
Nominatim) to find map coordinates, and pairs of coordinates are
sent to a routing service (OSRM) to estimate travel times. These
requests carry no account identity, and results are cached.
What we do NOT do
- No advertising, no trackers, no analytics SDKs, no crash-reporting
services (as of this policy’s date), no selling or sharing of data with
data brokers.
- No training of AI models on your data, by us or (per their API terms)
by Anthropic.
- No background location tracking. The app never reads your device’s GPS
location; it only geocodes addresses you type in.
Children
Homie Scheduler is designed for families, including children. A child
cannot create an account on their own: child accounts can only join a
household through an invite code created by a signed-in adult of that
household — creating that invite is the parent’s or guardian’s consent
for the child’s use of the app. Invite codes for restricted (child)
accounts carry limited permissions set by the adult. If you believe a
child’s account was created without parental consent, contact us and we
will delete it.
Your data, your control
- Access and deletion: household adults can edit or delete any
household record in the app. Removing a member (or a member leaving)
ends their access. To delete an account or an entire household’s synced
data, contact us at the address below and we will remove it from the
hosted database.
- Local-only mode: the app works without sync; without it, household
data never leaves your devices except for the AI parsing and map
lookups described above.
- Backups you export are yours and are stored wherever you put them.
