I'm Home ("the app") is built around one rule: it should ask for as little as possible. This page describes exactly what that means in practice: what we collect, who can see it, who else handles it, how long it's kept, and what you can ask of us. It covers the I'm Home apps for iPhone and Android and the web app at app.imhome.together-ledger.com.
I'm Home is a product of Together Ledger Digital LLC, registered in Macon, Georgia, United States. We decide how the information described here is used. For anything about your privacy or your data, including a grievance under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, write to legal@together-ledger.com. For help using the app, write to imhome-support@together-ledger.com.
You must be 18 or older to use I'm Home, wherever you live. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone younger; if we learn an account belongs to someone under 18, we delete it.
| Data | Why | Who else sees it |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | Your account. It comes from Google or Apple if you sign in with them, or you type it if you sign up with email and password. | Nobody |
| Password, only if you sign up with email | Signing in. We store a salted, one-way hash, never the password itself, and count failed attempts so we can stop someone guessing it. | Nobody |
| Your Google or Apple account identifier, only if you sign in with them | Recognising you next time you sign in | Nobody |
| A token from Apple, only if you sign in with Apple | So that deleting your account also ends I'm Home's access to your Apple ID. It is stored encrypted and used for nothing else. | Apple, when we hand it back to revoke that access |
| Display name | Shown to the people in your circles, and in the notification they get | Your circles; Expo, Apple, and Google as part of each notification (see below) |
| Your time zone, and a quiet-hours setting | Showing each person times in their own zone. Your phone reports its time zone when the app opens. Quiet hours are saved with a default but not used yet. | Nobody |
| Circles, and the names ("aliases") you give people you invite, e.g. "Ma" | Who you check in with, and making your check-ins readable | The people in that circle |
| Membership history: who was invited, who joined, left, or was removed, and when | So everyone in a circle can see how it changed | The people in that circle |
| Check-ins: when you tapped, and when we received it. A tap made offline waits on your phone until it can be sent. | The app's whole purpose | Your circle; Expo, Apple, and Google as part of each notification |
| Delivery records: whether each check-in was sent, and whether each person's phone confirmed it arrived | So you know whether it actually reached someone | The person who sent the check-in |
| Device details: push token, platform (iPhone, Android, or web), app version, whether notifications are allowed, when the device was last seen | Delivering notifications, and telling someone who checks in with you that your notifications are off | The push services that deliver notifications; the people who check in with you see only whether notifications are on |
| A sign-in session | Keeping you signed in for up to 30 days. On the web it is kept in your browser's local storage; in the app, in your phone's secure keychain. | Nobody |
These companies process information only to run I'm Home:
These providers are based in, or process data in, the United States and other countries. If you use I'm Home from elsewhere, including India, the European Union, or the United Kingdom, your information is transferred to and processed in those countries.
A check-in notification appears on the recipient's lock screen like any other notification, so anyone who can see their phone may see it.
You can delete your account from inside the app (Settings → Delete my account), or from the web deletion page, with no install needed. It takes effect immediately and cannot be undone. Your family is not notified; your check-ins simply stop arriving.
Deleting your account deletes every check-in you sent and its delivery records, deletes the circles you own with their members and history, and removes you from other people's circles. Your email address, name, password hash, Google or Apple identifier, time zone, and quiet hours are erased, and your devices' push tokens are removed. If you signed in with Apple, we also ask Apple to revoke I'm Home's access, so it leaves the list of apps using your Apple ID; if Apple can't be reached, we keep trying for up to a week. A bare placeholder marked "Deleted account" remains only so other people's circle histories still make sense; it holds nothing that identifies you. The name someone else gave you in their own circle stays in their history until they delete their account, and records of check-ins sent to you stay in the sender's history until they are 7 days old.
If you stop using your Apple ID with I'm Home in your Apple settings, Apple tells us, and we sign you out everywhere. If you delete your Apple ID itself, Apple tells us that too: an I'm Home account that only Apple could open is deleted as above, and one you can also open with a password or Google keeps working without Apple.
We use your information to provide the check-in service you signed up for, and to keep it secure. Wherever you are, you can:
When this policy changes, we update the date at the top of this page.
This policy hasn't been reviewed by a lawyer. It describes what the app actually does, checked against its code, and we will correct it wherever it falls short.
