Last updated: September 28, 2026. This policy explains what Ghar stores, who can see it, the services it relies on, and how to delete your account.
Ghar is a shared family organizer. To share a home with your family, it stores your account and the things your household adds with a cloud database provider. Only members of your household can see your household’s content. Ghar has no advertising, does not use third-party analytics, does not track you across apps or websites, and does not sell your information. You can explore an example home without an account; that example stays on your iPhone.
Ghar uses Sign in with Apple. When you sign in, Ghar receives an Apple user identifier, the email address Apple shares (which can be a private relay address if you choose Hide My Email), and the name you provide. Ghar stores these with your household membership and role.
Your sign-in session is stored in your iPhone’s Keychain. Ghar does not receive your Apple Account password.
Ghar stores the content you and your family add: tasks and subtasks, ideas, groceries, notes, due dates and repeat schedules, who a task is for, requests and replies, thanks, and a history of changes. It also stores photos, videos, and recordings that you choose to attach or keep.
Everyone in your household can see its shared content. Household administrators can create invitation codes, remove members, and appoint another administrator. Nicknames you give family members stay on your iPhone and are not shared.
An invitation code works once, within seven days. Anyone signed in with Apple who has the code can join that household, so share codes only with the family member you mean to invite.
You can belong to up to 10 homes. Each home has its own members and content, and only its members can see it. You can leave a home at any time; when the last member leaves, the home and its shared content and attachments are deleted.
Household content, accounts, and attachments are stored with Supabase, which provides Ghar’s database, sign-in, file storage, and server functions. Access is limited by household membership rules enforced on the server, and attachments are kept in private storage.
Apple provides Sign in with Apple and delivers push notifications. These providers process information only to run Ghar and under their own privacy policies.
A home is free for two people. A larger home needs Ghar Family, an auto-renewing subscription bought through the App Store. Apple processes the payment; Ghar never sees card or billing details.
To apply the subscription to your home, Ghar stores the App Store transaction identifier, which plan was bought, the home it covers, who bought it, when it renews or ends, and whether it was refunded. Apple sends Ghar renewal and refund updates for that purchase. Other members can see that the home has Ghar Family and when it renews or ends, but not who pays. Deleting your Ghar account does not cancel the subscription; cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
If you turn on notifications, Ghar stores your device’s push token, your notification settings, and which notifications you have read so it can tell you about requests, subtasks, thanks, and an optional daily family summary. The summary is off unless you turn it on.
Notification text is general, such as “Your family sent you an assignment request.” It does not include task titles, names, or notes. You can turn notifications off in Ghar or in iPhone Settings.
Dictation uses Apple’s on-device speech recognition, and text in photos is read on your iPhone. Where Apple Intelligence is available, Ghar can shorten a long task title on your iPhone; the full wording stays in the task’s notes, and you can turn this off. Ghar does not send these inputs to a separate AI service.
Original audio is deleted after you confirm a spoken note, unless you choose to keep the recording. Ghar asks for camera and microphone access only when you use those features, and you can choose individual photos with the system photo picker. Everything works with typed text if you don’t grant those permissions.
Ghar keeps drafts, your most recently saved household, unsent changes, and preferences such as theme on your iPhone so it keeps working offline. Signing out clears that household’s saved copy from the device. If you are removed from a household, the copy is cleared the next time Ghar reaches the server; until then, an offline iPhone may show its last saved view.
You can export household content and attachments as a backup. An export is your own copy: protect it and share it only with people you trust. Ghar cannot remove copies that you export or that other family members keep.
You can delete your account in Ghar. Ghar asks you to confirm with Apple, revokes Ghar’s Sign in with Apple access, and then deletes your account, its devices and notifications, and the media you uploaded, in every home you belong to. A home where you are the only member is deleted with all of its content. If Apple cannot confirm, nothing is deleted.
Shared content that other family members created stays with the household. Places that referred to you are relabeled “Former member,” and tasks you had agreed to do become unassigned. Text family members wrote themselves may still mention you. If you are the only administrator and other members remain, appoint another administrator first.
Ghar does not include advertising or third-party analytics or tracking SDKs, does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites, and does not sell or share household information for advertising.
Apple may provide crash reports and usage data you choose to share with developers, and TestFlight feedback, under Apple’s terms. The providers above may keep operational logs under their own policies.
Ghar is designed for families to use together, and a household’s members decide who to invite. It is not directed at children under 13, and Doodle Studio does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without a parent’s consent. If you believe a child’s information was added without consent, contact me and I will delete it.
This policy will be updated as Ghar changes. If a future version adds new kinds of data, services, or sharing, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the date above will change.
