HausWise is a household and apartment management application that helps flatmates collaborate, organize tasks, manage shopping lists, coordinate calendars, and share important notices.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and what rights you have regarding your personal data. This policy applies to our mobile application (iOS and Android) and web application.
By accessing and using HausWise, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by its terms. If you do not agree with our practices regarding your personal data, please do not use HausWise.
When you create an account, we collect your email address, full name, display name, password (encrypted and hashed), user ID, and profile picture. We also store your account creation date and last login information.
When you create or join an apartment, we collect the apartment name, member information (names and emails of your flatmates), user roles and permissions, invite codes, and apartment settings.
Depending on how you use HausWise, we collect:
When you upload images to HausWise (primarily through notices), we store the image files, metadata (filename, size, upload date, dimensions), and usage information. HausWise requests permission to access your device's photo library. You have full control over which images you share.
We automatically collect device type, operating system version, app version, device identifier, network status (online/offline), IP address, general location (country/region), crash reports, error logs, and app usage patterns.

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not use your data to create marketing profiles or track you across other apps and websites.
Your flatmates can see your name, email, profile picture, tasks and todos you create or are assigned to, notices you post, calendar events you create, and your activity in shared lists. When you leave an apartment, you no longer share information with those members.
HausWise uses Supabase for backend infrastructure, including database management, user authentication, and cloud storage for images. For more information, see Supabase's privacy policy at https://supabase.com/privacy.
We do not share your data with other third parties for marketing, advertising, or unrelated purposes.
