🪙 Bloomly — Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026  ·  Plain English, no legalese

Who we are

Bloomly is a family finance and chore-management app. It is operated as an independent product. If you have questions about this policy, email us at ssingh12@yahoo.com.

What data we collect and why

We collect only what is needed to make the app work:

• Email address — only if you create a cloud account, used for sign-in and password reset. Never shared or used for marketing.
• Password — stored as a bcrypt hash. We cannot read your password.
• Family data — member names, tasks, goals, transactions, and settings you create inside the app. Stored locally on your device and, if you opt in to cloud sync, encrypted in transit and stored on our server.
• Basic usage analytics — we count how many families are active each day (a single integer per family per day). No page views, no click tracking, no advertising profiles.
• Error reports — if the app crashes, an anonymised error report is sent to Sentry (our error monitoring service) to help us fix bugs. No personal data is included.

What we do NOT collect

• Location data
• Device identifiers or fingerprints
• Advertising IDs
• Contacts or photos (profile photos stay on your device)
• Anything sold or shared with third parties for marketing

Where your data is stored

Family data is stored on your device in your browser's local storage. If you create a cloud account, a copy is also stored on our server hosted on Fly.io (London, UK). Daily backups are taken to AWS S3. Both providers are GDPR-compliant.

Third-party services we use: Fly.io (hosting) AWS S3 (backups) Sentry (error monitoring) Resend (password reset email)

Data retention

Your data is kept for as long as your account is active. If you delete your cloud account (Settings → Delete cloud account), all server-side data is permanently deleted immediately. Local data on your device is removed when you use "Clear all data" in Settings.

Backups are retained for 30 days and then automatically deleted.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• Access your data — use Settings → Export my data to download a full JSON copy
• Delete your data — use Settings → Delete cloud account (server data) or Clear all data (local data)
• Correct your data — edit any member, task, or goal directly in the app
• Portability — your exported JSON contains all your family data in a readable format

If you need help exercising any of these rights, email ssingh12@yahoo.com.

Children's privacy

Bloomly is designed to be used by families together, under parental supervision. The app is suitable for children aged 6 and over. Child members are set up and managed by parents within the app — children do not create accounts and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from them.

Cookies and tracking

We do not use cookies or any cross-site tracking. The app uses your browser's local storage to save your family data on-device. No advertising networks, no tracking pixels.

Push notifications

If you enable push notifications, your browser's push subscription (a technical token, not personal data) is stored on our server and used only to deliver in-app notifications about coin awards and tasks. You can disable notifications at any time in Settings.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
