Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 22, 2026

HomeVentory ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the HomeVentory mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

Photos you take or upload to document your home inventory
Item descriptions, categories, and values you enter manually
Email address (if you sign up for early access or contact support)
Support ticket content (name, email, subject, message)

Information collected automatically:

Cryptographic keys generated locally on your device for authentication (no password required)
Scan usage data (number of scans performed) to manage your scan balance
Basic usage information for app functionality

2. How We Use Your Information

To provide the core inventory management features of the app
To run AI object detection on photos you submit
To maintain your scan balance and process purchases
To respond to support requests
To send product updates if you opted in via our early access list

3. Photos and Inventory Data

Photos you scan are sent to our servers solely for AI object detection. Detected items and your inventory data are stored using our distributed storage system and are associated with your cryptographic identity — not your name or email. You may delete your inventory data at any time from within the app.

4. Payment Information

HomeVentory uses Stripe to process payments. We do not store your credit card number or full payment details. Payment processing is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

Service providers — such as Stripe (payments) and our AI infrastructure — only as needed to operate the Service
Legal obligations — if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users

6. Data Retention

Your inventory data is retained as long as you use the Service. Uploaded photos are retained on our servers for the purpose of displaying them within the app. If you delete an item, its associated photo may remain in our storage for a short period before being purged.

7. Your Rights

You may:

Access and export your inventory data from within the app
Delete your inventory data from within the app
Request deletion of any email you submitted to our early access list by contacting feedback@homeventory.club

8. Children's Privacy

HomeVentory is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including cryptographic authentication and encrypted data transmission. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the effective date above. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
