Homekeeper — Last updated 26 June 2026
Homekeeper is an offline-first home maintenance app. Your home data — rooms, tasks, projects, warranties, and compliance records — is stored exclusively on your device. We do not operate user accounts and we do not collect or store personal data on our servers.
All of the following lives only in the local database on your phone or tablet:
Uninstalling the app permanently deletes all of this data. We have no ability to recover it.
Homekeeper can optionally use your property's approximate location (city or town level) to provide weather forecasts for outdoor maintenance planning. Location data is:
When you enter a town or city name for your property, that query is sent to Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) to resolve an approximate latitude and longitude. Only the town or city name is transmitted — no street address or precise coordinates from your device. Nominatim's own privacy policy applies to that request.
When you view a weather forecast, your property's approximate city-level coordinates are sent to our backend proxy, which forwards them to OpenWeatherMap to retrieve the forecast. We do not log or store these coordinates. OpenWeatherMap's own privacy policy applies to that request.
Weather data provided by OpenWeatherMap.
When you use an AI-powered feature, the relevant details you have entered — such as the task, the room and property it relates to, and similar context — are sent to our backend proxy and forwarded to our AI provider (Anthropic, which processes the request in the United States) via Cloudflare to generate a response. Depending on the feature, this may include, for example:
Your country (derived from your device's region setting, not from GPS) is also included so that advice uses local terminology and typical costs.
You control what is shared. In Settings → Privacy & Permissions → AI & your data you can turn off, for AI requests: your location — both the town or region from your property's address and the coarse country from your device setting — your financial details (budgets and costs), your document names (warranty and certificate names), and your property details (the type of home and how it is held — for example owned or rented). These categories are on by default; turning any of them off still lets you use the AI features, but with less personalised results (turning country off, for example, means advice no longer uses local terminology).
We do not store any of this data on our servers. Responses are cached briefly on your device to avoid repeated network requests.
Please avoid entering sensitive personal or financial information (such as full names, addresses, account numbers, or serial numbers) into task, project, warranty, or other fields, as their contents may be sent to the AI provider when you use these features.
Subscriptions (Homekeeper Plus and Pro) are processed entirely by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We receive only a receipt token to verify your subscription status — no payment card details are ever shared with us. Google's and Apple's own privacy policies govern the payment transaction.
Homekeeper may send local notifications for:
All notifications are scheduled locally on your device — no notification data passes through our servers. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings.
The free tier of Homekeeper may display advertisements served by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers, IP addresses, and usage data to serve relevant ads, subject to Google's privacy policy. Subscribing to Plus or Pro removes all advertising.
Consent and opt-out. Before showing personalised ads, we request your consent where required by law (EEA, UK, and covered US states). You can update or withdraw your ad preferences at any time via Settings → Privacy & Permissions → Ad preferences inside the app.
To diagnose and fix crashes and stability problems, Homekeeper uses Firebase Crashlytics (a Google service). When the app crashes or hits an unexpected error, an anonymous crash report is collected containing:
These reports contain no personal or home data — none of your rooms, tasks, properties, addresses, warranties, or certificates are included. The data is used only to find and fix bugs.
On by default, opt-out any time. Crash reporting is enabled by default. You can turn it off at any time via Settings → Privacy & Permissions → Crash reporting. Google's privacy policy governs data processed by Crashlytics.
If you are a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, or another US state with applicable privacy legislation, you have specific rights regarding personal information that may be collected about you through advertising.
What we share and why. The free tier of Homekeeper is supported by Google AdMob, which may use device identifiers and IP addresses to serve personalised advertisements. This constitutes “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising under California law (CCPA/CPRA). We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration.
Your rights may include:
How to opt out. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time via Settings → Privacy & Permissions → Ad preferences inside the app. Subscribing to Homekeeper Plus or Pro removes all advertising entirely.
For other privacy requests, contact us at homekeeperdev@proton.me. We will respond within 45 days as required by applicable law.
Homekeeper is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always available at this URL. Continued use of the app after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
