Privacy policy

Last updated 14 November 2026

Summary

Earnitezy helps families run routines, chores and rewards. A parent creates the account; children use a separate kids app that a parent pairs to their child. We collect as little about children as we can, we never sell data, and there are no ads, analytics or tracking tools in the kids app.

Who we are

Earnitezy ("we", "us") runs the Earnitezy website, the Earnitezy Parent app and the Earnitezy Kids app. Contact us about privacy at [email protected].

What we collect about parents

Account: email address, your display name, and a securely hashed password, or the name and email from Google if you sign in with Google.
Family settings: family name, timezone and the family invite code.
Notifications: a push token for your phone, if you allow notifications.
Subscriptions: if you subscribe, your plan, its status and renewal date. Payment details are handled by Google Play, the App Store or Stripe; we never see your card.
Technical data: IP address and basic request details in server and security logs, and crash or error reports from the parent app and website so we can fix problems.

What we collect about children

Only what a parent enters, and what a child does in the kids app:

a first name or nickname, an emoji avatar, a colour and an age band (4 to 7, 8 to 12, 13+); no birthdate, email address, phone number or location;
tasks, ticks, approvals, stars, rewards, goals and badges;
proof photos, only for tasks where a parent turns on "Needs a photo";
for the paired device, a random anonymous ID and the date it was paired.

Children cannot create accounts, chat, share publicly or contact anyone outside their family. The kids app has no advertising, analytics, crash-reporting or other third-party tracking, and no links out of the app.

Children only use Earnitezy after a parent adds them and pairs their device with a code the parent creates. By doing so the parent consents to us storing the child information described above. A parent can view, change or delete it at any time, and can unpair a device instantly.

How we use data

to run the service: show tasks, record ticks and approvals, keep points balances, sync devices live;
to send the emails and notifications you ask for (sign-up confirmation, password reset, task ticked);
to keep the service secure, prevent abuse and fix errors;
to manage subscriptions and answer support requests.

We do not use children's data for advertising, profiling or training AI models, and we do not sell or rent anyone's data.

Only service providers that help us run Earnitezy, under contracts that limit their use of the data:

Cloudflare for website delivery, security checks (Turnstile) and encrypted database backups;
Amazon Web Services (Sydney region) to send account emails;
Expo to deliver app updates and push notifications, through Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging) and Apple (Push Notification service);
Google if you choose Google sign-in;
RevenueCat, Google Play, the App Store and Stripe for subscriptions and payments.

Our database and file storage run on servers we operate. Some providers above may process data outside your country. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

Account and family data: until you delete it or delete your account.
Proof photos: deleted automatically 30 days after a parent reviews the task.
Backups: kept for 14 days, so deleted data is gone from backups within about 15 days.
Server and security logs: a short period, normally no more than 30 days.

Your choices and rights

See and download: everything is visible in the parent app, and Settings, Download my data gives you a copy as a file.
Correct: edit names, tasks and settings at any time.
Delete: delete a child, or your whole account, from Settings. See how account deletion works.
Ask or complain: email [email protected]. If you are in Australia and not satisfied with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au). In other countries you can contact your local data protection authority.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit, access is limited by database rules so each family only sees its own data, proof photos are private, and backups are encrypted. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and keep paired devices with your children.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above, and tell parents by email or in the app before any significant change takes effect.
