Privacy Policy

Tidynest is designed so the developer does not run a family-data server. Household data is stored on your device and, when iCloud sync or sharing is enabled, in Apple CloudKit under the iCloud accounts that own or participate in the nest.

Information used by the app

Names or nicknames, member roles, bird avatars, chores, notes, schedules, completion history, optional reward amounts, payout records and household settings are entered by you and used to provide the app’s features.

Where information is stored

App data is stored locally and in your private or shared iCloud database. Invited participants can access the records shared with their nest according to Apple’s iCloud sharing model. Tidynest does not operate a separate account database and the developer cannot browse your CloudKit records.

Notifications and widgets

Tidynest uses local notifications and Apple Push Notification service signals associated with CloudKit changes. Widget snapshots are stored in an App Group container on the device. Notification text may appear on the Lock Screen according to each device’s settings.

Purchases

Purchases are handled by Apple StoreKit. Tidynest receives purchase status needed to unlock features; payment details are handled by Apple and are not received by the developer.

Analytics, advertising and tracking

Tidynest does not include third-party advertising or tracking SDKs and does not sell personal information. Apple may provide aggregated App Store or TestFlight diagnostics under your Apple privacy settings.

Children

Tidynest is a household utility used under adult supervision. Children do not create a public Tidynest account. Adults control invitations, household membership and parental settings.

Deletion and retention

You can delete chores, members and local app data from within the app or device. The iCloud owner controls the shared nest and participants. Apple may retain CloudKit or purchase information according to its own policies and backup processes.
