PRIVACY.

What we collect

Your name, email, password (stored hashed, never readable), the interests you pick, and the content and activity you create in the app: posts, comments, votes, check-ins, course progress, food and protein logs, weight entries, and the money items you enter by hand (subscriptions, savings goals, balances). We never connect to your bank. If you turn on notifications, we store a push token for your device so we can send them: through Apple's and Google's notification services. It identifies the app on your phone, not you, and is never used for ads or tracking. When you sign up we note how you found us: the ad or link you came from, and, if you choose to answer, how you heard about us. We use this only to see which posts and ads reach new people. We also record which parts of the app you open each day (the calendar, the grocery list, Learn and so on) and on which kind of device (the iPhone app, the Android app or a browser), so we can see what's useful. We don't record what you type or see, and we never share it.

Your family's data

Household features store what your family enters: calendar events, lists, meal plans, chores, and the names and colors of family members you add, including kids. Kids never have accounts and we never contact them. Their names exist only so your family's calendar makes sense. A partner account you invite sees the household's family data, not your personal logs.

Health data

Only if you turn it on, from the Health card in Fitness, the iPhone app reads three things from Apple Health: today's step count, today's exercise minutes, and last night's sleep duration. It uses them to check off your movement and sleep habits for you instead of making you tap. We store the daily totals, nothing else, and we never write anything back. We never sell, rent, or use health data for advertising or marketing, and you can switch it off any time in your phone's Health settings.

How we use it

To run the service: personalize your briefing and home screen, show your posts to other members, track your progress, and email you about your account. We don't sell your data. Ever.

Measuring our ads (website only)

When you visit our website or sign up in a web browser, we use the Meta Pixel, a small piece of code from Meta (Facebook and Instagram), to see whether our ads worked. It tells Meta that a page was viewed and, if you create an account, that a sign-up happened. Meta may connect that to your Facebook or Instagram account and use it to measure and improve the ads it shows, under its own privacy policy. It does not receive your name, your password, your family's data, your health data, or anything you enter in the app. Our phone apps do not contain the Meta Pixel or any other advertising or analytics tracker. You can limit how Meta uses this kind of activity in your Facebook or Instagram ad settings, and most browsers let you block it.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and everything in it for as long as your account is open, because that is the product: your progress, your family calendar and your course progress only work if they persist. The one exception is the record of which parts of the app you open: each day's entry is deleted after 13 months. When you delete your account we erase your profile, your logs, your posts and comments, your household data and your marketing record from our live systems straight away (calendar events you added to a family calendar that others still use stay for that family, with your name taken off), and we never restore a deleted account. Two things outlive that, and neither is used for anything: encrypted database backups, which are kept on a rolling schedule by our hosting provider and overwrite themselves as they age out, and server logs holding IP addresses and error traces, which expire automatically within our provider's own short retention window. Stripe and Apple separately keep payment records for as long as tax and accounting law requires them to.

Deleting your account

You can do it yourself, in the app, without asking us: Profile, then Delete account, then type DELETE. It removes your account and your content on the spot and cannot be undone. Removing the app from your phone does not delete the account. If you would rather we did it, email support@daddesigned.online and we will action it within 30 days.

Payments

Purchases made in the iPhone app use Apple's In-App Purchase: Apple takes the payment and bills your Apple ID. Payments made on our website are processed by Stripe. Either way we never see or store card numbers. To confirm in-app purchases we use RevenueCat, which receives your account's ID in this app (not your name or email) and the purchase history Apple shares for it, so your membership unlocks and renews correctly. We keep your membership status, and a Stripe customer reference if you paid through Stripe, so billing can be managed.

AI processing

An AI service (Anthropic's Claude) summarizes public news for the Daily Briefing and writes your weekly recap from a short summary of your own week's stats: check-ins, protein days, upcoming events. Your data is never used to train AI models and is never sent for advertising. Health data is never sent to it.

Who else sees your data

Only the services that make the app run: our hosting and database provider, Stripe for website payments, Apple for purchases in the iPhone app and RevenueCat to confirm them, Anthropic for the two AI features above, Apple and Google to deliver notifications to your phone, and, when you sign up, your name and email go to Google Sheets and ClickFunnels so we have a record of members and can email you. None of those services get your data for their own purposes, and we do not sell your data. The one advertising company involved is Meta, and only on our website: see “Measuring our ads” above. Our phone apps contain no ad networks and no analytics trackers.

What other members see

Your first name, optional 'dad of' tag, and what you post. Your email is never shown to other members.

Security

Traffic is encrypted in transit, passwords are stored hashed and are unreadable even to us, and access to the production database is limited to the people who run the service.

Cookies

One session cookie to keep you logged in, and one that remembers which link or ad brought you to us, for 30 days. On the website only, the Meta Pixel sets its own cookies to measure ads. Our phone apps set no advertising cookies.

Your rights

Ask us for a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion, and we will do it within 30 days. Email support@daddesigned.online.

Children

The app is for adults. We do not knowingly create accounts for anyone under 13. The kids' names a parent adds to a household are not accounts and we never contact them.
