Privacy and terms

Plain English. It is short because most of it is built into how the thing works, not promised.

What we hold

The days you highlight, the events and routines you type, the notes you dictate, the care notes you write, the checklists sitters tick, and any documents you upload. Your email address, so you can sign in. Nothing else.

What we never ask for

No diagnoses. No therapy notes. No mental-health history. No insurance or ID numbers. No social security numbers. The care notes are for instructions, where the inhaler is, what to avoid and why, what to do if something happens, and deliberately not for a medical file. That is a design decision, not an oversight.

Who can see what

• You see everything on your family's calendar.
• The other parent, if you invite them, sees the same shared calendar, and not your own private tab.
• Your private tab is yours alone. There is no button anywhere that shares it, no link that carries it, and no route in the software that would serve it to anyone else. It is not hidden from them; it is absent.
• A sitter or a relative you hand a link to sees only the days you assigned them, and a day's detail only on that day. The link expires on its own.
• A share link carries only the kinds of event you mark as shared. Everything else, and anything new you add, stays private by default.

What we do not do

No advertising. No tracking. No third-party analytics, no cookies that follow you anywhere, and no profile of you or your children. We do keep a plain count of how many people opened a page and how many started a free week , whole numbers only, never tied to you, never joined to your family, and never shared. That is how we know whether this is worth building. We do not sell, rent or share your data with anybody, and there is no third party in the page to sell it to, the app loads no outside scripts, fonts or images.

Your file is yours

You can download everything we hold, any time, as one file, from Your data in the app. We offer it to you before you delete anything, on purpose.

Deleting

You can remove yourself, or delete the whole calendar, from the same place. When you delete, it is gone, the calendar, the documents, every sitter link, the share link. We keep no copy and there is nothing to restore.

One exception, and it protects you both. If two people are on a calendar, neither can delete it while the other is still there. It holds a custody history that might matter to either of you. Each of you can leave and take your own copy; the record stays with whoever remains. Once you are the only one left, you can delete all of it.

Security, honestly

Each family's calendar is stored separately and cannot be reached from another family's sign-in. Sign-in is by emailed link or a passkey, there is no password to steal. Sitter links carry only what you sent and expire by themselves.

What we cannot claim: no independent security firm has audited this. It is a small product built carefully and reviewed by its makers. If that matters to you, it should weigh in your decision.

This is not legal advice

FamCheck can print a clear record of what happened, and people do use it in custody matters. We are not lawyers, this is not legal advice, and nobody can promise a court will accept any particular record. Ask someone qualified about your own situation.

The plain terms

• Use it for your own family. Do not use it to harass anyone.
• What you write is yours. We claim no ownership of it.
• The service is provided as it is. We will try hard, and we cannot guarantee it is never unavailable, so do not make it the only place something important exists.
• If we ever change any of this, the change appears here.
