Privacy

Plain-English privacy notes for testers.

HouseHQ handles household information, including money-review details, with a simple rule: the app should help you organize your home without pretending to be your bank.

Last updated April 26, 2026

What HouseHQ is

HouseHQ is a private beta household app for schedules, chores, groceries, meals, receipts, budgets, and household planning. It is built to help a household understand and organize its own information.

HouseHQ is not a bank, bill-pay service, payment processor, or financial advisor. It does not move money, pay bills, make financial decisions, or ask for bank usernames and passwords.

Information you may add

You may add household members, tasks, calendar items, groceries, meal plans, notes, receipts, receipt line items, categories, budgets, statement rows, and related money-review details.

If you upload or paste receipts, statement screenshots, PDFs, or CSVs, those files can contain sensitive financial information. Only use real household data if you are comfortable testing with it during the private beta.

How the app uses household data

HouseHQ uses household data to show the product experience: lists, dashboards, review queues, receipt parsing, category suggestions, statement import, and household summaries.

Statement import is review-before-save. HouseHQ tries to read the file or pasted text, shows rows for review, flags likely duplicates, and waits for you to choose what to keep.

Local demo data and tester accounts

Unauthenticated demo use may store data in your browser so the demo keeps working without an account. Clearing browser storage can remove that local demo data.

Tester login uses a private tester session so logged-in households can have isolated datasets. Early tester systems may still change as the product hardens.

Service providers

HouseHQ may rely on hosting, database, authentication, deployment, and file-processing providers to run the app. Those providers are used to operate HouseHQ, not to sell household data.

Future bank linking, if added, should be optional and handled through a trusted provider. HouseHQ should not directly collect bank credentials.

Developer and support access

HouseHQ is in private beta, and a small development team may operate the systems that store household data. We do not browse household information casually or use personal household data for unrelated purposes.

Access should be limited to what is needed to run, debug, secure, or support the product. As HouseHQ matures, planned controls include reduced sensitive logging, access auditing, and support flows that make household data access more explicit.

Your choices

You can export a JSON copy of your household data from Family settings.

You can also delete household data from Family settings. Logged-in households are deleted from the shared database; local demo households are cleared from that browser.

During private beta, use the tester channel that invited you to ask for help with household data questions or deletion requests.
