How Chore Manager handles your data

What we collect

• Account info you provide: username (required), first/last name (optional), email (required for admins/parents; optional/empty for child accounts), and password (stored as a hash).
• Household data: household name/description, invite codes, memberships/roles.
• In-app activity: chores, due dates, status timestamps, points, streaks, rewards, notifications, and optional photos for verification.
• Integrations (optional): Home Assistant notify targets if you configure them. Email/SMS/push are not implemented yet.
• Cookies: Django session cookie for authentication; no tracking pixels or ad cookies are built into the app.

Children and household accounts

• Child accounts can be created without an email address. The app does not collect additional data from children beyond what admins/parents enter.
• Household admins/parents control what they enter for children and are responsible for any required consent under local laws.

What we don’t do

• No ads or third-party marketing trackers are included in the codebase.
• We don’t sell your data.
• No analytics SDKs are shipped by default.

Security and access

• Passwords are stored as hashes using Django’s defaults.
• Household access is invite-based; admins control memberships and roles.
• API auth is not implemented in the current code—limit deployments accordingly until authentication is added.

Retention and removal

Data is retained while accounts/households exist. Define and document your deletion and export process for production deployments, and honor requests sent to the contact address below.
