Privacy policy
Homesake for iPhone and the Homesake website. Last updated 27 October 2026.
In short: the Homesake app does not collect, send or sell any of your data. There is no account, no tracking and no advertising. Everything you add stays on your phone. The only thing we ever hold is your email address, and only if you join the early access list.
What the app stores
The rooms, items, tasks, notes, part numbers, costs, names of people in your household and completion history you enter are saved in the app's private storage on your device. Label and home info photos you take or choose are copied into that same storage. None of this is sent to us or anyone else.
What we collect
Nothing. Homesake has no servers that receive your data, no analytics and no third-party tracking or advertising code.
Permissions
- Notifications are optional. Reminders are scheduled on your phone; no data leaves it.
- Camera and photos are only used when you add a photo to an item or to your home info.
Things you choose to share
- Find replacement opens a web search for the make, model and part number of that item. That search is handled by your browser and the search provider under their own privacy policy.
- Open manual opens the link you saved, in your browser.
- Home logbook and Back up create files that you choose where to send, using the standard iPhone share sheet.
This website
The website uses no cookies, analytics or tracking. It remembers whether you chose light or dark mode in your own browser's storage; that choice never leaves your device. The site is hosted by Netlify, which, like any web host, processes your IP address and basic request details to deliver pages and protect against abuse. See Netlify's privacy policy.
Early access list
If you join the early access list, we keep the email address you give us. It is stored by Netlify, our website host, and used for one thing: a single email telling you Homesake is on the App Store. After that email is sent we delete the list. To be removed sooner, email us and we'll delete your address.
Deleting your data
Delete items or rooms in the app at any time, or delete the app to remove everything it stored. We hold no copy.
Children
Homesake is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change and the app update notes will say so.
