Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 19, 2026

This is the short version: your data is yours. We don't sell it, we don't share it with advertisers, and we don't use it to train AI models. The longer version is below.

1. Who we are

LivingLedger is a household inventory app, operated by an individual based in Tennessee, United States. You can reach us anytime at support@livingledger.net.

2. What we collect

When you create an account, we collect your email address and a password (stored as a secure hash, never in plain text). If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email, and profile picture from Google.

When you use the app, we store the inventory data you create — item names, descriptions, locations, categories, and any photos you attach. We also store basic technical information like the time you last signed in.

3. What we don't collect

We don't track you across other websites. We don't run third-party advertising trackers. We don't sell, rent, or share your personal data with marketers.

4. How we use your data

We use the data you give us to run the app — to show you your inventory, let you search it, sync it across your devices, and process your subscription if you upgrade. That's it.

We may use aggregated, anonymized usage information (for example, how many AI scans were performed across all users in a given month) to understand how the product is used and to improve it. This information cannot be used to identify you.

5. Where your data lives

Your account, inventory, and uploaded photos are stored using Firebase (a Google service) — specifically Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Cloud Storage. Firebase is a widely-used platform that provides encryption in transit and at rest. You can read Google's privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy.

6. AI scanning

When you use the AI scanner, the photo you take is sent to the Google Gemini API to identify the items in it. The result comes back to your device. LivingLedger doesn't keep a copy of the scanned photo on our servers — only the item details you choose to save end up in your inventory.

Photos you manually attach to inventory items (separate from the scanner) are stored in your account so you can see them later.

7. Payments

If you upgrade to a paid plan, payment is processed by Stripe, Inc. We never see or store your full payment card details. Stripe handles billing, renewals, and refunds. You can read Stripe's privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.

8. Your choices

You can update your account information from within the app at any time. To delete your account and all associated data, email support@livingledger.net from the address on your account, and we'll take care of it.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws like the GDPR or CCPA — including the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, or to ask us to correct or delete it. Email us and we'll honor those requests.

9. Children

LivingLedger isn't designed for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has signed up, please contact us and we'll remove the account.

10. Security

We use Firebase's built-in security features, including encryption in transit and at rest. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and we'll notify you if we ever become aware of a breach affecting your account.

11. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we'll update the effective date above and notify you. Continuing to use LivingLedger after a change means you accept the updated policy.

12. Contact
