Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This policy explains how HomeKeep, developed by Anthony Fasano ("we," "us," or "our"), handles information in the iPhone and iPad app, and what happens when you choose to use related support services.

2. Your Home Plan and Attachments

The app stores the information you enter on your device, including property and home system details, tasks, schedules, completion history, notes, costs, and saved links. If you choose a task photo or receipt image through Apple's photo picker, HomeKeep stores a copy with that task. If you select a backup file to restore, HomeKeep reads the file you select.

We do not receive your home plan or attachments automatically. HomeKeep has no account system, developer-operated cloud sync, ads, tracking, or third-party analytics SDKs. It does not request access to your contacts or precise location.

3. Backups, Exports, and Sharing

You can create a backup or spreadsheet export and choose where to save or share it using Apple's sharing controls. Full backups may contain home details, notes, completion records, and attached images. The recipient, app, or storage provider you select can receive the exported information and handles it under its own policies.

Your app data may also be included in iCloud or computer backups, depending on your Apple device settings. HomeKeep does not operate those backup services and does not sync your plan between devices. Deleting information in HomeKeep does not delete copies you previously exported or saved in other services.

4. External Links and Searches

Optional reference, shopping, web, and YouTube links open your browser or another external app when you select them. Searches can include the task name or search phrase shown in the app. The destination service receives the link or search request and may process network information under its own privacy policy. These actions do not send your home plan to us.

Your tasks, history, and local reminders work without an internet connection. External websites, App Store services, and destinations you choose for sharing may use the internet.

5. Notifications and Widgets

If you enable notifications, HomeKeep schedules maintenance reminders locally on your device. You can change task reminder preferences in the app and notification permissions in your device's Settings.

Optional Home Screen widgets read a local summary shared with the app. They do not use a HomeKeep server. Tasks or property details may be visible to anyone who can view your device's widgets or notifications; you can control those displays through device settings.

6. Ratings and Apple Services

HomeKeep may occasionally use Apple's standard rating request. Apple decides whether to show it and handles any rating or review you submit. HomeKeep does not receive your response to that prompt. A review you publish on the App Store may be publicly visible.

Local information used to space out rating requests stays on your device. HomeKeep does not add an analytics or advertising service to support rating requests.

Apple processes App Store purchases and may provide developers with App Store reports or diagnostics according to your Apple settings and Apple's policies. We do not receive your payment card details or Apple ID credentials. See Apple's Privacy Policy.

7. Contacting Support

If you email support or open a GitHub issue, you share the information in your message, such as your contact details, description of the problem, and any attachments. That information is used to respond to your request and investigate the issue. Your email provider and GitHub handle their services under their own policies.

GitHub issues are public. Do not include private home details or unredacted backups in a public issue. Support messages may remain in the support mailbox or issue history; you can contact us to request deletion of information you sent. We cannot remove copies retained independently by other people or providers.

8. Your Choices and Deletion

You can edit or delete home information in the app, remove attachments, export your records, and change notification permissions. Deleting the app removes its local data from that device, but does not remove separate exports, recipient copies, or Apple device backups. Use the relevant provider's controls to manage those copies.

We do not sell your personal information or use it for targeted advertising. To ask about information you have provided directly to support, including access or deletion requests, use the contact details below. HomeKeep is designed for homeowners and is not directed at children.

9. Security

Local app data uses the protections provided by iOS, including the app sandbox and device data protection. Keep your device secure and choose trusted destinations for backups and exports. No storage or sharing method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Free Website Resources

The free browser checklists save checked item identifiers in your browser's local storage when available. We do not receive those checkmarks, and they do not sync to the HomeKeep app. Use Clear checkmarks on a checklist or clear this site's browser storage to remove them. The resources do not require an account or email signup and do not include advertising or third-party analytics scripts.

The website and downloads are hosted by GitHub Pages. Requests to the site are handled by that hosting provider under its own privacy statement. If you choose an App Store or other external link, that destination handles the request under its own policy.

11. Policy Updates and Contact

We will update the effective date when this policy changes.
