Family Chores · Effective August 30, 2026

Privacy Policy

Family Chores: Home Board helps families organize chores without advertising, third-party behavioral analytics or a Family Chores account.

Information handled

The app may handle family member display names, chore names and schedules, completion states, optional display and completion images, device-use preferences, notification preferences and purchase entitlement information supplied by Apple. Family Chores does not ask for or store an invited Board user’s Apple Account email.

Storage and synchronization

Family data is kept in protected local app storage. When iCloud is available, Apple CloudKit can synchronize app data through the user’s iCloud account and with a Board account that explicitly accepts a private share. On iOS 26+, a parent may generate a private one-time invitation link; the link stays in the current sharing flow and is not stored in family data or sent to a developer server. Shared family data may include member display information, chore details, schedules, progress and selected images.

Photos and notifications

Selected chore images are re-encoded so the stored copy does not retain source EXIF or GPS metadata. Notifications use generic wording and can be changed in iOS Settings.

Purchases and deletion

Apple processes the non-consumable Family Pro purchase and any legacy entitlement; the app does not store payment-card details. Parents can edit or remove family information. Local removal does not automatically erase copies already synchronized to another authorized device, exported, backed up or retained offline until that device reconnects.

Children and contact

The app is intended to be set up and managed by a parent or guardian. Privacy questions can be sent to [email protected].
