Privacy FAQ
Does Choretastic! sell my data?
No. We never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Your data is used solely to provide the Choretastic! service.
What data does my child's device collect?
Child devices use anonymous authentication (no email or password required). The device collects: chore completion status, screen time usage data, and location (if enabled by the parent). All data is linked to the parent's family account, not to the child personally.
Can I see what data you have about my family?
Yes. All your family's data is visible in the app: child profiles, chore history, screen time records, and location history. For a complete data export, contact us at privacy@choretastic.com.
How do I delete all my data?
Go to Settings > Delete Account in the app. This permanently deletes your account, all family data, child profiles, chore history, photos, and device links. You can also email us at privacy@choretastic.com to request deletion.
Is location tracking always on?
No. Location tracking is optional and must be explicitly enabled by the parent. It can be disabled at any time in the app or in the device's iOS Settings. When disabled, no location data is collected or stored.
Does Choretastic! show ads?
No. Choretastic! has no ads, no ad trackers, and no advertising SDKs. We are funded entirely by subscriptions.
