Privacy Policy

Effective date: 9 March 2026

Kepthouse ("the App") is a home maintenance management app for Android, developed and operated by Kepthouse ("we", "us", "our"). This policy explains what data the App collects, how it is used, and your rights.

1. Data We Collect

The App stores the following data locally on your device:

• Your name (entered during onboarding, used only for display within the App)
• Maintenance tasks, warranties, appliances, subscriptions, and service contacts you create
• Photos and documents you attach to items
• App preferences (theme, currency, backup settings)

We do not collect, transmit, or have access to any of this data. All data is stored in a local database on your device.

2. Google Drive Backup

If you choose to enable backup, the App uses the Google Drive appDataFolder scope to store encrypted backup files in your own Google Drive account. This is a hidden, app-specific folder that only Kepthouse can access.

• Backups contain your database and attached files, bundled in a ZIP archive
• Backups are stored in your Google Drive storage, not on our servers
• We cannot see, access, or retrieve your backup data
• You can delete backups at any time from within the App or via Google Drive settings

When you sign in with Google, the App receives your email address and a scoped access token. These are used solely to authenticate with Google Drive and are not transmitted to us or any third party.

3. Analytics and Tracking

The App does not include any analytics, crash reporting, advertising SDKs, or tracking of any kind. We do not collect usage data, device identifiers, or behavioural information.

4. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services:

• Google Sign-In — solely for authenticating Google Drive backup. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Drive API — solely for storing and retrieving backup files in your own account.
• Google ML Kit (on-device) — for OCR text recognition on receipts. All processing happens locally on your device; no images are sent to Google's servers.

5. Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, or transfer your data to any third party. The App operates entirely offline except when you explicitly trigger a Google Drive backup or restore.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

• All local data is deleted when you uninstall the App
• Google Drive backups remain in your Google account until you delete them
• You can delete all local data from within the App at any time (Settings > Recycle Bin > Empty Bin)

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Security

Your data is stored locally using Android's app sandbox, which prevents other apps from accessing it. Google Drive backups use Google's own security infrastructure and your Google account credentials.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
