Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 23, 2026
HomeAlmanac is built so that your information stays with you. This policy explains, in plain terms, what the app does and does not do with your data. The short version: your records live on your device, there is no account, and we do not track you.
The short version
Your home records are stored on your device. HomeAlmanac has no account system, collects no personal profile, and does not track you across apps or websites. We do not sell data, because we do not have your data.
What we store and where
Everything you add to HomeAlmanac, including homes, appliances, tasks, documents, photos, and notes, is stored locally on your device. This local data is included in your normal device backup. We do not receive a copy.
Optional iCloud sync
If you enable iCloud sync, available with a Premium plan, your records are synced between your own Apple devices through your personal iCloud account. This data is handled by Apple under Apple’s terms and is not accessible to HomeAlmanac. You can turn sync off at any time.
What we do not collect
We do not collect your name, email, contacts, precise location, or browsing activity. We do not use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs that build a profile of you. The app does not require you to create an account or provide personal information to work.
Camera and photo access
HomeAlmanac asks for camera and photo access only so you can scan nameplates and attach images of manuals, receipts, and your home. These images are stored on your device. Text recognition runs on your device using Apple frameworks and is not sent to us.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, they are scheduled on your device to remind you about maintenance. The content of your reminders stays on your device.
Purchases
Premium plans are sold through the App Store. Apple processes payment and shares standard, anonymized purchase information needed to deliver and validate your subscription. We never see your payment details.
Diagnostics
If you choose to send a diagnostic report or contact support, you control what you include. We use anything you send only to answer your request.
Children
HomeAlmanac is intended for adults managing a household and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we will update the date above and note the change in the app or on this page.
