Divesting the Domestic ("we," "us," "our," or the "App") is a household management application developed and operated by Divesting The Domestic LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Wisconsin, United States.
Divesting The Domestic LLC is the data controller under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR, and the business under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). For Australian users, Divesting The Domestic LLC is the APP entity responsible for handling personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Our registered address and principal place of business is in the State of Wisconsin, United States. Contact details are provided in Section 13.
We collect only the information necessary to provide the App's features. We practice data minimization — we do not collect information we do not need.
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Account information | Email address, password (hashed), name | Authentication and account management |
| Household profile | Household name, member names, avatars, member roles | Personalizing the household experience |
| Member profiles | Name, avatar, color preference, chore capacity settings, waking hours, arrival time | Chore assignment and scheduling |

We use your information for the following specific purposes:
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions that require a legal basis for processing personal data, we process your data on the following bases:
| Processing Activity | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Creating and managing your account | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) |
| Providing core app functionality | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) |
| Processing Google Calendar data | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — you explicitly authorize this connection |
| Wellness check-in data (health-adjacent) | Explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR) — you provide this voluntarily |
| App improvement and analytics | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — improving the service we provide |
| Security and fraud prevention | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) |
| Legal compliance | Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) |
| Marketing communications | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — opt-in only |
You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. To withdraw consent for Google Calendar access, disconnect it from your account settings. To withdraw consent for wellness data, you may delete your check-in history from the app.
The App is a household management tool designed for use by families, including households with children. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable international children's privacy laws.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 years of age. Children under 13 may be added to the App as household members by a parent or guardian (an adult account holder), but:
If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately at privacy@divestingthedomestic.app and we will promptly delete the information.
Teen household members (ages 13–17) may use the App under parental supervision. We recommend that parents review this Privacy Policy with teen members of their household. Teen wellness check-in data is treated as private and is not visible to other household members.
We are committed to compliance with Australia's Children's Online Privacy Code as it is developed and implemented under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We apply high-privacy defaults for all users who may be minors and will update our practices as the Code is finalized by December 2026.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information:
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we use commercially reasonable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law, including Wisconsin Statute § 134.98, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach where required.
