Privacy policy

The short version

• You can use the whole app without giving us a name, an email or anything else. It signs you in anonymously.
• We store your chores so we can show them to you, and to anyone you share a list with.
• We do not sell anything, show adverts, track you across other apps, or ask where you are.
• You can delete your account from inside the app.

What we store

• An account. The app signs you in anonymously the first time you open it, which means we hold an account id and nothing else. If you add an email and password, or sign in with Google or Apple, we store that too so your chores survive a lost phone.
• Your chores. Titles, notes, tags, how often they repeat, when they are next due, and who completed them.
• Your lists. The lists you keep and the people you share them with, including a record of what everyone did in a shared list, so members can see how the list got to where it is.
• A nickname and an avatar, if you set one. You are only asked for these when you first share a list with someone.
• Settings. Light or dark, reminder timing, your device time zone, and which list you had open.
• A push token, if you allow notifications, so a reminder can reach your device.

Why we store it

To run the app for you: to show your chores on the right day, to remind you, and to keep a shared list the same for everyone in it. That is the contract between us. We do not profile you and we do not build advertising audiences.

What we do not collect

• Your location. The app never asks for it.
• Your contacts. Sharing a list happens through a code you send yourself.
• Advertising identifiers, or anything that follows you into other apps.
• Payment details. Apple and Google handle those and never pass them to us.

Who else touches it

• Google Firebase stores the data and runs the accounts, the database and the notifications, in European data centres.
• Apple and Google handle subscription payments. We never see your card details, only whether a subscription is active.
• RevenueCat keeps track of subscriptions for us, so every list you are in knows whether it is unlocked. It sees your account id and what you bought.
• The app uses Firebase Analytics to count which screens and features get used, and Firebase Crashlytics to report crashes so we can fix them. Both use a random account id, never your name, never an advertising identifier, and never what your chores say.
• This website uses Google Analytics, and only if you agree to it. Analytics is switched off until you say yes.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account from Settings in the app. It removes your account, your own list and the chores in it straight away.

If you are in shared lists, leave them first. The app asks you to, because a shared list belongs to everyone in it: what you added to one, and the record of what you did there, stays with that list for the other members. Nothing in a shared list is deleted by you leaving it.

Deleted data can survive in encrypted backups for up to 30 days before those roll off.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to info@bloop.se and we will answer within a month. If you are in the EU and think we have handled your data badly, you can complain to your national data protection authority. In Sweden that is IMY.

Children

Households have children in them, and a chore list is one of the places that shows. A parent can add a child to a shared list, on their own device or the family's, and we store no more about them than about anyone else: a nickname, if one is set, and the chores they tick off.

Setting up an account of your own, with an email address, is for ages 13 and up. Below that, a parent or guardian should own the account. If you are a parent and want anything about your child removed, write to info@bloop.se and we will do it.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the app will say so rather than quietly updating the date at the top of this page.
