Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 19, 2026

1. Information We Collect

HouseChronicle does not collect any personal information. All data you enter into the app, including maintenance records, photos, costs, notes, and property details, is stored exclusively on your device using a local database.

We do not operate any servers, APIs, or cloud services. Your data never leaves your device.

2. Photos

Photos you attach to maintenance records are saved locally in the app's private storage on your device. Photos are never uploaded, transmitted, or accessible to anyone other than you.

The app requests camera and photo library permissions only when you choose to attach a photo to a record.

3. Notifications

HouseChronicle may request permission to send local notifications for maintenance reminders. These notifications are scheduled entirely on your device. No notification data is sent to any server.

4. Analytics and Tracking

HouseChronicle does not include any analytics, tracking, advertising, or third-party SDKs that collect user data. We do not use cookies, device fingerprinting, or any other tracking technology.

5. In-App Purchases

HouseChronicle offers a one-time in-app purchase to unlock premium features. This purchase is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store any payment information.

6. Third-Party Services

HouseChronicle uses the following third-party services:

• RevenueCat: used to manage in-app purchase entitlements. RevenueCat receives only an anonymous app user ID and purchase receipt from Apple. No personal information is shared. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
• Sentry: used for crash reporting and error diagnostics. Sentry receives anonymous crash data (stack traces, device model, OS version, app version) only when the app crashes or encounters an error. No personal information, record content, or photos are shared. See Sentry's Privacy Policy.

7. Data Storage and Security

All app data is stored in a local SQLite database on your device. Data is protected by your device's built-in security (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID). If you delete the app, all data is permanently removed.

8. Children's Privacy

HouseChronicle is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

9. Your Rights

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over it at all times. You can:

• View all your data within the app
• Edit or delete any record
• Export your data as PDF or CSV
• Delete all data by uninstalling the app

10. Changes to This Policy

If we update this Privacy Policy, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
