This Privacy Policy explains the kinds of personal information we collect and hold, how we collect and hold it, the purposes for which we use and disclose it, how you may request access to or correction of your information, how you may make a privacy complaint, and whether we are likely to disclose information to overseas recipients.
This policy is intended to apply to users of the MaintainIt app, visitors to any related website or landing page, and individuals who contact us about the Services.
Depending on how you use MaintainIt, we may collect and hold the following categories of information:
If you continue as a guest, tasks and related data stay on that device only. Signing in later does not transfer guest data into the account. Guest mode does not create a MaintainIt account.
We collect personal information in the following ways:
We hold personal information using a combination of device storage, cloud-hosted databases, and third-party service providers that support authentication, data hosting, analytics, crash reporting, subscription management, messaging, and advertising.
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, and disclosure. These steps may include transport encryption, access controls, authentication, service-provider security features, and administrative safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information.
No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. For that reason, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We collect, hold, use, and disclose personal information for purposes including to:
Where required by applicable law, we rely on your consent for certain collection, use, disclosure, advertising, or permission-based functionality. In other cases, we may process information where necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, or pursue legitimate business interests that are not overridden by your rights.
We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:
MaintainIt does not sell personal information.
Depending on the features enabled in your version of MaintainIt, we may use service providers such as the following:
Those providers may process information on our behalf, or in some cases for their own purposes as described in their own terms and privacy documentation.
If MaintainIt requests and you grant access to device location, we use that information only for the location-based functionality described in the app at the time permission is requested, such as seasonal settings. You can decline or revoke location permission through your device settings at any time, although some features may then work in a limited way.
When you use automatic season detection, MaintainIt uses your device location to determine a hemisphere, timezone, country, city, postcode, and region. Those results are stored on the shared household settings profile. MaintainIt does not store latitude or longitude in your household data.
The free tier of MaintainIt may display advertisements. We may also use analytics and diagnostics tools to understand app usage and app stability. Where required by law, we will seek consent before using personal information for personalised advertising or other consent-based processing.
You may also be able to manage some advertising or tracking preferences through your device settings and, where applicable, through consent messages shown in the app.
We are likely to disclose personal information to overseas recipients because some of our service providers and their affiliates, infrastructure providers, or subprocessors operate internationally.
Where practicable, the countries in which those recipients are likely to be located include: United States (Firebase/Google Cloud, RevenueCat, Google AdMob), and other countries where Google Cloud Platform and RevenueCat maintain data centers or operations.
By using the Services, you acknowledge that overseas recipients may be subject to privacy and data-protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide the Services, maintain business and legal records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information, the feature involved, whether you delete content within the app, and the settings or retention periods applied by relevant service providers.
You may request access to personal information we hold about you and request correction of that information if it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading.
Some information can be accessed, updated, corrected, or deleted directly in the app. For other requests, please contact us using the privacy contact details listed above.
When making a request, please provide enough information for us to verify your identity and locate the relevant records. We may need to ask you for additional information before acting on your request.
MaintainIt (published by Judgemental Applications by Daniel Stephen) lets you permanently delete your MaintainIt account. You do not need to keep the app installed to make a deletion request.
Deleting your account removes the local copy of data on that device, this account's device records and queued notifications, the MaintainIt user record, and the sign-in account. If you own the household, that household's shared tasks, shopping items, projects, project tasks, spending entries, settings, and join code are deleted. If you only belong to a household, you are removed from it and the household stays for the other members.
Email danielstephen1803@gmail.com with the subject line Delete MaintainIt account. Include the email address used for your MaintainIt account so we can verify the request. We aim to complete verified account deletion requests within 30 days.
If you have an active MaintainIt Pro subscription, cancel it in Google Play before or after deletion. Play Store billing records remain under Google's control.
You can also request deletion of personal information associated with your MaintainIt account or use of the Services without relying on the in-app flow.
Email danielstephen1803@gmail.com with the subject line Delete MaintainIt data. Include the email address used for your MaintainIt account (or enough detail for us to identify your records) and what you want deleted. We aim to complete verified requests within 30 days.
Settings also includes tools to clear the local copy of app data on your device, or to sign out. Those options do not always delete the server copy of a signed-in account. Guest mode data stays on that device only and can be cleared with the in-app reset tools; guest mode does not create a MaintainIt account.
Some information may be retained where we still need it for legal obligations, security, fraud prevention, dispute handling, backup cycles, or legitimate record-keeping. Copies held by Google, RevenueCat, AdMob, or other providers may remain for as long as those providers keep them under their own policies.
If you believe we have breached applicable privacy law, including the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply, you may make a complaint by contacting us using the privacy contact details above.
Please include your name, contact details, and sufficient detail about the complaint so we can investigate it. We will acknowledge the complaint and aim to respond within a reasonable period, generally within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may be able to escalate your complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) or another relevant regulator in your jurisdiction.
MaintainIt is not directed to children under the age at which they can validly consent to personal information processing under applicable law, unless the app expressly states otherwise. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances prohibited by law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us.
The Services may contain links to third-party websites, videos, guides, or other content. Users may also add external links to tasks or notes. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third-party services. You should review the privacy policies of those third parties directly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Services, our data-handling practices, or legal and regulatory requirements. When we do so, we will update the "Last updated" date above.
Where required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
