What we collect
Account data: your email address, display name, and a hashed password (we never store your actual password). If email verification is enabled, we record when your email was verified.
Household data: the households you create or join, their chores, your chore completions (with timestamps, points, and any notes you add), breaks you record, and derived scores, streaks, and standings. Members of a household can see that household's activity — that is the point of the app.
Security data: rate-limiting and login-attempt counters tied to your IP address and email, kept briefly to prevent abuse.
Feedback: if you send feedback through the app, we store your message, its category, and — when you're signed in — your account and household, so the feedback can be read and acted on. Anonymous feedback stores only the contact email you choose to include.
We do not collect advertising identifiers, sell data, or run third-party analytics trackers.
Improving CoHab: CoHab computes aggregate statistics — typical points and completion rates for starter-list chores, each drawn from at least 20 households combined — to improve the defaults new households start with. No statistic contains a name, custom chore text, or anything identifying a person or household, and a deleted household is excluded from every statistic computed afterward.
Who processes it
CoHab runs on a small set of infrastructure providers, each processing data only to operate the service: Vercel (hosting), Turso (database), Upstash (rate limiting), and Resend (account email such as verification and password resets, when email is enabled).
Your controls
From your Dashboard, under Your account, you can:
- Download my data — everything we hold about you, as JSON.
- Delete my account — permanently erases your account, completions, and breaks. Households where you are the only member are deleted entirely; in shared households, your data is removed and balances restate among the remaining members.
You can also leave any household at any time from its Settings page.
Retention
Your data is kept while your account exists. Deleting your account removes it from the live database immediately. Infrastructure backups, where they exist, age out on the provider's schedule.
Children
CoHab accounts are for people 13 and older. Household members under 13 should participate through a parent or guardian's account.
Changes and contact
We'll update this page when the policy changes and note the date above. Questions about your data: contact the operator of this CoHab instance (for most households, that's the person who invited you).
