Data Transparency

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 2026 · Service Provider: ChoreMatrix

1. Our Data Philosophy: Data Minimization

Household routines, family member names, and personal schedules are sensitive personal details. ChoreMatrix collects only the minimum information necessary to calculate balanced household workload allocations.

2. What We Collect

  • Account & Authentication: Email address and password hash (managed securely via Supabase Auth).
  • Household Configuration: Household label/name, type (e.g. couple, family, roommates), and optimization mode.
  • Household Member Details: Nicknames or labels, household roles, weekly available minutes, and unavailable days.
  • Task Information: Chore names, categories, estimated durations, effort ratings (1–5), fixed days, and eligibility tags.
  • Generated Plans: Calculated schedules, fairness diagnostic scores, and assignment reason codes.
  • Client Preferences: Light/Dark theme selection and UI view preferences stored locally in your browser.

3. What We Do NOT Collect

To protect your household privacy, ChoreMatrix does not collect or request:

  • No exact home street addresses or GPS location.
  • No phone numbers or contact book integration.
  • No government-issued identification.
  • No exact dates of birth for children.
  • No photos, video feeds, or biometric identifiers.
  • No microphone or camera permissions.
  • No credit card or payment account numbers stored on our servers (payment processing and subscription checkout are handled by our Merchant of Record Dodo Payments).

4. How We Use Information

  • To authenticate and maintain your secure login session.
  • To run deterministic workload optimization algorithms on your household inputs.
  • To preserve your saved households and weekly plans across sessions.
  • To provide explainability diagnostics and differential rebalancing when constraints change.

  • Dodo Payments — Merchant of Record handling payment processing, invoicing, billing customer support, and sales tax compliance.
