ChoreCoin Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 29, 2026
Last Updated: April 29, 2026

Plain-language summary. ChoreCoin is a chore and allowance tracking app for families. We collect the minimum information needed to run your account, sync your family group across devices, and process subscription payments. We do not sell personal information. We do not show third-party advertising inside the app. If a child under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK) uses ChoreCoin, a parent or legal guardian must create the account and provide verifiable consent, and the parent controls all data associated with that child.

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose and safeguard personal information when you use the ChoreCoin mobile application (the “App”), our related websites and services (collectively, the “Service”).

The data controller responsible for your personal information is:

Where you contact us about a child’s personal information, please use the email above and identify yourself as the parent or legal guardian. We will respond within thirty (30) days and may require reasonable verification of your identity and parental status before acting.

2. Scope of this Policy

This Policy applies to personal information processed in connection with the App and the Service. It does not apply to:

5. Legal bases for processing (EEA, UK and Switzerland)

Where the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, the United Kingdom GDPR or the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection applies, we rely on the following legal bases:

6. Children’s privacy

ChoreCoin is designed for use by families. Children may use the App, but only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who is the account-holder.

6.1 United States — Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen (13) years of age except through a parent-administered account. By creating an account that includes a child as a family member, the parent represents and warrants that they are the child’s parent or legal guardian and provides verifiable parental consent for the limited collection and use of the child’s information described in this Policy.

For child users, we collect only what is reasonably necessary to operate the chore-tracking features: the child’s display name, avatar, completed-task records, coins and rewards, photos voluntarily uploaded as proof of completion, and minimal device data needed for security and delivery of notifications. We do not condition the child’s participation on the disclosure of more information than is reasonably necessary. We do not use child data for behavioural advertising. We do not sell or rent child data.

A parent may, at any time, review the personal information we hold about their child, refuse further collection or use, and request deletion. Contact supportbloom@gmail.com from the email address used to create the account.

6.2 European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Where the user is below the applicable digital-age-of-consent (between thirteen (13) and sixteen (16), depending on the Member State), processing of that user’s personal data is carried out only on the legal basis of consent given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility. Where consent cannot be verified, the account will not be activated.

6.3 Apple App Store Kids Category and Google Play Families Policy

Where the App is distributed under Apple’s Kids Category or Google Play’s Designed for Families program, we comply with the additional requirements of those programs, including: no behavioural advertising; no use of third-party analytics SDKs that are not certified for children’s services; and clear parental gate flows for any purchase or external link.

7. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell personal information. We share personal information only as set out below.

8. Subscriptions and payments

Premium features are offered through auto-renewable subscriptions purchased on Apple App Store or Google Play. Payment is processed entirely by the relevant store. We do not receive, see or store your payment-card details. We use RevenueCat as a subscription-management layer to validate receipts, deliver entitlement updates to your device, and surface aggregated metrics. RevenueCat receives a pseudonymous user identifier and the transaction metadata returned by the store.

If you start a free introductory trial, you can cancel before the trial ends free of charge through the store’s subscription management screen. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, the subscription will renew at the listed price.

9. Push notifications

If you grant push-notification permission, we may send you task reminders, group activity summaries, and security or service announcements. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings or in the App’s notification preferences. Disabling notifications does not delete your push token from our records immediately; it is purged on the next device sync or upon account deletion.

10. Analytics and product improvement

We use a privacy-respecting product-analytics provider (PostHog) to understand how features are used and to debug issues. Events are tagged with a pseudonymous user identifier rather than your name or email. We do not share analytics data with advertising networks. Where required by applicable law, analytics are activated only after you provide consent in the App.

11. International data transfers

Our service providers may process personal information in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States. Where personal data of residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland is transferred to a country that has not been recognised as offering an adequate level of protection, we rely on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (or equivalent UK/Swiss instruments) and, where appropriate, supplementary technical and organisational measures.

You may request a copy of the safeguards applicable to a specific transfer by writing to supportbloom@gmail.com.

12. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period afterwards as described below.

CategoryRetention
Account profile and authentication credentialsFor the lifetime of the account, then deleted within 30 days of deletion request.
Family/group data, tasks, rewards, coinsWhile the group exists; archived 30 days after the last member leaves; deleted within 90 days of full deletion request.
Photographic proof of completion30 days after task verification, then automatically purged from storage.
Push-notification tokensUntil invalidated by the platform or by account deletion.
Subscription / billing identifiersFor the period required by Apple, Google and applicable tax/accounting law (typically up to 7 years).
Analytics eventsAggregated; pseudonymous identifiers rotated or deleted within 12 months.
Support correspondenceUp to 24 months after the last interaction.

13. Security

We implement administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. These include encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+), encryption at rest for stored credentials and storage objects, strict access controls on our service-provider consoles, the use of secure operating-system keychains for session tokens on your device, and regular review of supplier security posture.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is one-hundred-percent secure. If we become aware of a personal-data breach affecting you, we will notify you and the competent supervisory authority where, and within the timeframes, required by law.

14. Your rights

Subject to applicable law and to verification of your identity, you have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, contact supportbloom@gmail.com. We will respond within thirty (30) days, or such shorter period as applicable law requires. We do not charge for these requests except where they are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

15. California disclosures (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you specific rights:

To exercise these rights, contact supportbloom@gmail.com. You may designate an authorised agent to act on your behalf, subject to verification.

16. Brazil disclosures (LGPD)

If you are located in Brazil, the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (Law No. 13.709/2018) applies. The legal bases described in Section 5 map to the corresponding bases in Article 7 LGPD, including the execution of a contract, legitimate interest, the protection of credit, the regular exercise of rights in judicial proceedings, and consent. You have the rights set out in Article 18 LGPD, including the right to confirmation of processing, access, correction, anonymisation or blocking of unnecessary or excessive data, portability, deletion of data processed on the basis of consent, information about sharing, and withdrawal of consent.

The data protection officer for Brazilian users can be reached at supportbloom@gmail.com.

Where any of the above changes, we will update this list. Each provider acts as our processor under our written instructions, except Apple and Google, who act as independent controllers in respect of payments and store services.

18. Account deletion

You may delete your account at any time from inside the App: Profile → Settings → Delete account. Account deletion permanently removes your profile, your authentication credentials and the personal data associated with you, except where retention is required by applicable law (for example, for tax records related to subscriptions). If you are the administrator of a family group, you will be prompted either to transfer administration to another member or to delete the group along with your account.

You may also request deletion by writing to supportbloom@gmail.com from the email address used to create the account.

19. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the Service, or applicable law. We will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top and, where the change is material, provide additional notice (for example, an in-App banner or email). Continued use of the App after the effective date of an updated Policy constitutes acceptance of the changes.

20. Contact us

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland and we have not addressed your concern to your satisfaction, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. A list of EEA authorities is available at edpb.europa.eu; the UK authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk); the Swiss authority is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (edoeb.admin.ch).
