7. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies to maintain your session and provide authentication. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

8. Google User Data

ChoreSplit offers an optional Google Calendar integration. When you connect your Google account for this feature, we request access to the following Google API scopes:

• calendar.events — used to create, update, and delete calendar events that correspond to tasks you schedule in ChoreSplit. Events are written to your calendar when a task is scheduled, updated when a task is rescheduled, and removed when a task is completed, deleted, or the integration is disconnected.
• calendar.calendarlist.readonly — used solely to populate the calendar picker in integration settings, so you can choose which of your calendars receives task events. We do not read, store, or process the contents of your calendars.

How we use Google data: Google user data obtained through these scopes is used exclusively to provide the Google Calendar sync feature. We do not store calendar data on our servers — all reads and writes happen in real time in response to your actions in the app.

Data retention: We store your Google OAuth tokens securely (encrypted at rest) for as long as the integration is connected. When you disconnect Google Calendar, your tokens are deleted immediately and all calendar events created by ChoreSplit are removed from your calendar.

Prohibited uses: We do not use Google user data for advertising, marketing, credit assessment, AI or machine learning model training, building user profiles, or reselling data. We do not transfer Google user data to any third party except as necessary to operate the calendar sync feature (e.g., authenticated API calls to Google's servers on your behalf).

ChoreSplit's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

9. Children's Privacy

ChoreSplit is designed for family use, but account creation and management must be done by adults (18 years or older). Parents are responsible for supervising their children's use of the service.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
