Account and household information
House Mate uses account and profile details to sign you in, restore access and identify you to authorised members. House content is visible according to that House’s membership and permissions.
Shared content
Chores, bills, expenses, notices, repairs, events and files you add are stored in the relevant House. Circle plans and costs are stored separately and are visible only to that Circle’s members.
Location and activity
House Mate does not track your precise device location. Home and Away status is manual. Optional Activity Status is off by default and shows only a broad label to members of the same House.
Services and notifications
House Mate may use Firebase Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Functions and Firebase Cloud Messaging for sign-in, synchronisation, invitations and notifications. Apple delivers push notifications and handles App Store purchases.
Retention and deletion
Information remains while needed to provide the service or until it is deleted using available controls. Removing the app does not delete cloud data. Contact support for privacy or deletion help.
Contact and policy changes
Email support@matetech.uk for privacy questions. We may verify identity before acting on a request. This page will be updated when the app or its data practices change.
