Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 7, 2026 Build with Brandon ("we", "us", or "our") built Roost as a privacy-first app. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use Roost. 1. Information We Collect Roost does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. All data you enter into Roost — including meal plans, grocery lists, chores, budgets, and savings — is stored locally on your device and synced through your private Apple iCloud account via CloudKit. We do not collect: - Names, email addresses, or contact information - Usage analytics or behavioral data - Location data - Advertising identifiers - Any personally identifiable information 2. Data Storage and Sync All app data is stored locally using SwiftData and synced between devices using Apple's CloudKit framework. When you share a household with a partner, data is shared through Apple's CloudKit sharing infrastructure. We have no access to this data — it is managed entirely by Apple's iCloud services and subject to Apple's privacy policy. 3. Third-Party Services Roost does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The only third-party service involved is Apple's iCloud/CloudKit, which is required for device sync and household sharing. 4. No Account Required Roost does not require you to create an account. Household sharing is handled through Apple's native CloudKit sharing mechanism — simply share a link with your partner. 5. Children's Privacy Roost does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Since we collect no personal information from any user, there is no risk of inadvertently collecting data from children. 6. Data Deletion Since all data is stored locally on your device and in your private iCloud account, you can delete all Roost data at any time by deleting the app or removing its data through your device settings. We retain no data on external servers. 7. Changes to This Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. 8.
