Chores
Privacy policy.
Overview
The Monospaced Company built Chores to coordinate household work. Chores does not sell personal information and does not request App Tracking Transparency permission. This policy explains what Chores processes, why it is processed, the services involved, and the choices available to you.
Information Chores processes
- Profile details, including a display name and optional information returned by Sign in with Apple.
- Family membership, invitations, chore content, schedules, assignments, claims, completions, reminders, and optional photos you add.
- Privacy-safe operational diagnostics when you explicitly export sync diagnostics. Chores does not automatically upload that export.
How information is used
Chores uses this information to provide account recovery, family sharing, synchronization, reminders, support, and the features you choose to use. Family content is visible to members of the family workspace where it is stored.
Depending on where you live, these activities may be based on providing the service you request, your consent, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate interests such as securing and improving the service.
Apple services
Chores stores account and family data in Apple CloudKit and uses Sign in with Apple for authentication. Apple also operates App Store distribution. Those services are governed by Apple's terms and privacy policy.

Advertising
Chores 1.0 does not include an advertising SDK, does not show ads, and does not request permission to track across other companies' apps and websites. This policy will be updated before a future release enables advertising or adds a service that processes information for ads.
When information is shared
Information is shared only as needed with Apple for app functionality and with members of a family workspace. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect users or the service, or as part of a business reorganization subject to appropriate safeguards.
Retention
Synced Chores data is retained until it is deleted, removed by a family owner, or no longer needed to operate the service. Removed member identities may remain in historical completion records so shared chore history remains understandable. Apple determines retention for information it processes under its own policies.
Security and international processing
Chores uses Apple platform security and access controls intended to protect account and family data. No system can guarantee absolute security. Apple may process information in countries other than the one where you live, using protections described in its policies.
Your choices
- Leave a joined family from the Family view.
- Delete your Chores account and Chores-owned CloudKit data from Settings.
- Contact us to ask a privacy or support question.
Depending on your location, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection, and to withdraw consent or complain to a data protection authority. Contact us to make a request. We may need to verify the request before responding.
Children
Chores accounts are intended for people aged 13 and older. A person who selects the under-13 age range cannot continue into account-backed Chores. Existing accounts retain access to logout and account deletion.
Changes
We may update this policy as Chores changes. The effective date above identifies the current version. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
