Privacy Policy
Household Radar does not collect your personal data. It has no accounts, no sign-up, no advertising, no analytics and no third-party tracking SDKs. The app makes no network connections other than to Apple's iCloud service on your behalf.
Everything you type stays on your device and — if you have iCloud enabled — in your own private iCloud storage. The developer has no access to it and no ability to read it.
Who this policy covers
This policy applies to the Household Radar iOS app (bundle identifier com.wrdeoftheday.householdradar) and its Home Screen widget. In this policy, “we” and “the developer” mean the publisher of Household Radar; “you” means the person using the app.
What the app stores
The app stores only the content you create in it:
| Data | Why it exists |
|---|---|
| List names and the colour chosen for each list | To show and organise your lists |
| Item titles | To show the tasks in a list |
| Optional due dates, completion state and completion timestamps | To sort items and show what is overdue or due today |
| Creation timestamps and internal identifiers (random UUIDs) | To order items and match records between your devices |
| Widget configuration (which list a widget shows) and an on-device snapshot of your lists | So the Home Screen widget can render without opening the app's database |
| A flag recording that you have seen the introduction screens | So the app does not show them again |
The app does not ask for, and cannot access, your contacts, photos, location, camera, microphone, health data, calendars or advertising identifier. It requests no tracking permission, because it does no tracking.
If you type personal information into a list or item title, that text is stored the same way as any other item text — on your device and in your iCloud account. Please treat those fields as ordinary notes.
Where the data goes
On your device
Your lists live in a database inside the app's own container on your device, in an area shared with the widget so the widget can display them. That data is protected by iOS and by your device passcode or biometric lock.
In your iCloud account
If you are signed in to iCloud and have iCloud Drive enabled, the app uses Apple's CloudKit to sync your lists between your own devices, storing them in the private database of your personal iCloud account. Apple processes and stores that data under Apple's Privacy Policy. The developer does not operate any server, does not receive a copy of your lists, and cannot read the contents of your private iCloud database.
You can stop this sync at any time by signing out of iCloud or turning off iCloud Drive for Household Radar in the iOS Settings app. The app keeps working locally on your device.
When you share a list
Household Radar lets you share a single list with another person using Apple's built-in iCloud sharing (CKShare). If you choose to do this:
- The shared list and every item in it become visible to the people you invite, and they can add, edit, complete and delete items in it, according to the permission you grant.
- Apple sends and manages the invitation. The address you invite (an email address or phone number linked to an Apple Account) is handled by Apple, not by the developer.
- Apple's sharing interface shows participants' names and Apple Account identities to each other, as part of iOS.
- Lists that you have not shared remain private to you.
You can stop sharing at any time from the share sheet in the app — by removing a participant or stopping sharing entirely. A participant can also remove themselves. Content already seen or copied by a participant cannot be recalled.
The widget
The Home Screen widget reads a snapshot of your lists that the app writes into their shared on-device container. The widget has no iCloud access and sends nothing off your device.
What the developer receives
Nothing you create. There is no server, no account system and no analytics.
The only information that can reach the developer is what Apple provides to every App Store developer:
- Crash and performance reports — only if you have turned on “Share With App Developers” in Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements. Apple provides these in aggregate and they are not used to identify you. You can turn this off at any time.
- App Store sales and download statistics — aggregate figures provided by Apple, containing no individual identity.
- Anything you choose to send us — for example if you email a support question. We use it only to answer you and delete it when the matter is closed.
We do not sell, rent or share personal data with anyone. We do not use your data for advertising or profiling, and there is no automated decision-making.
Retention and deletion
- Deleting an item or a list in the app removes it from your device and from your iCloud storage on your next sync, and from other participants if the list was shared.
- Deleting the app removes its on-device data. Data already synced to iCloud remains in your iCloud account until you remove it in Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage.
- Because the developer holds none of your content, there is no copy of it for us to retain or delete.
Children
Household Radar is a general-purpose household organiser. It is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and it knowingly collects no personal data from anyone, including children. iCloud accounts for children are governed by Apple's Family Sharing and Screen Time settings.
Your rights
Depending on where you live — for instance under the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR, or the CCPA/CPRA in California — you have rights to access, correct, export, delete and restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object to it.
Because your Household Radar content sits in your own device storage and your own iCloud account, you can exercise most of these rights directly: view and edit everything in the app, delete anything you no longer want, and remove the app's iCloud data in iOS Settings. For data held by Apple as part of your iCloud account, contact Apple or use privacy.apple.com. If you have a request that concerns us, write to help@householdradar.co.uk and we will answer within one month. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office).
We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
International transfers
iCloud data is stored and processed by Apple, which operates data centres in multiple countries and applies its own safeguards for international transfers. See Apple's Privacy Policy for details. The developer transfers no personal data anywhere, because it holds none.
Security
The app relies on the protections built into iOS and iCloud: data protection and encryption on the device, and encryption in transit and at rest for CloudKit. Keep your device passcode and Apple Account secure, and use two-factor authentication on your Apple Account — anyone with access to those has access to your lists.
Changes to this policy
If the app starts doing anything materially different with data, this policy will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top changed. Significant changes will also be noted in the App Store release notes for the version that makes them.
