Privacy Policy

Last updated: 16 September 2026

Even is a chore app for couples sharing a home. To do that it has to hold some genuinely personal things: the errands you run for your family, a note you wrote to your partner, sometimes a photograph of your kitchen. This policy sets out exactly what is collected, why, who else can see it, and how to get rid of it.

It is written from the app's actual data model rather than from a template. If something here is unclear or looks wrong, write to support@evenapp.site and we will fix the policy or the app.

The short version

• Even stores your chores, your household and your account so the two of you see the same list on two phones.
• Your partner sees your household's data. That is the product. Nobody outside your household does.
• Analytics and crash reports are on unless you turn them off, in Settings → Privacy. Neither ever carries a chore name, a note, a photo or an email address. They are tied to your account number, not to your name.
• Even is free for the first week, then needs a subscription. Apple takes the payment; we never see your card.
• Even does not sell your information, does not show advertising, and has no advertising or data-broker partners.
• You can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app, or by asking us.

Who we are

Even is operated by Mukund Pandey ("we", "us"). For the purposes of the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation we are the data controller for the information described here. You can reach us at support@evenapp.site.

In this policy, "the app" means the Even mobile application and its home-screen widget, "the Service" means the app together with the systems that sync it, and "your household" means the Even household you belong to — at most two people, by design.

What Even collects

Information you give us

• Your email address, when you create an account. It identifies your account. A six-digit code is sent to it when you create the account, to check the address is yours, and again if you ever forget your password.
• Your password, if you sign in with one. It is stored by our authentication provider as a salted hash; we never see or store the password itself.
• Your Apple account identifier, if you choose to sign in with Apple instead. We receive an identifier and an email address; we do not receive your password. If you choose to hide your email, we only ever see Apple's relay address.
• Your display name, chosen character and signature colour — how you appear to your partner in the app. If you use a photograph instead of a drawn character, the app picks a colour for you at random.
• A profile photograph, only if you add one. This is optional.
• Feedback you send us from inside the app — whether it is an idea or a problem, which part of Even it is about, what you wrote, whether we may write back to you, and a screenshot if you attach one. The app adds its own version number and whether you are on iOS or Android. Nothing about your household, your chores or your partner goes with it. See Feedback below.

Information created by using Even

This is the bulk of it, and it is the part that is personal. When you use the app it stores:

• Chores — the name of each chore, how often it happens, which day or days it falls on, the day it starts, an optional time it should be done by, roughly how many minutes it takes, an optional description of what "done" looks like, an optional photograph of the same, which of you does it, and whose turn it was first.
• A record of things being done — which chore, by whom, when, how long it was estimated to take, and whether it was that person's turn.
• Thanks — a mark of thanks against something your partner did, and the note you wrote with it, if you wrote one.
• Suggestions — a chore or a change one of you put to the other, any counter-offer or swap made in reply, and the outcome, including a no.
• Household questions — a request to close the week early, or to mark the week "fair for now" (who is covering more, the reason picked from a short list, and for how long), who asked, and whether it was agreed or declined.
• Your weekly check-in — the closed record of each week's split, that a check-in was held, the note either of you left, and the day of the week your household holds it on.
• Household membership and invite codes — which household you belong to, when you joined, when the household was made, and the short code used to pair the two of you, including when it was created, when it expires and who redeemed it.
• Snooze and pause reasons — the phrase you picked when a chore was set aside or a week was marked fair for now.

Information collected automatically

• A push notification token and whether your device is iOS or Android, if you allow notifications. This is an anonymous handle issued by Apple, Google or Expo; it lets a notification reach your device and identifies nothing else about you.
• Your subscription status — whether your household's free week is running, has ended, or is covered by an active subscription. This comes from Apple through our subscription provider; see Even Plus below.
• Diagnostic and analytics data, unless you have switched it off. See Analytics and crash reports below — this section is narrower than you may expect.
• Ordinary server logs at our hosting and database providers, which record IP addresses and request timestamps for a short period as a matter of operating and securing the Service.

What Even does not collect

• Your contacts, your calendar, your location, or your device's photo library beyond the individual photograph you choose to attach.
• Advertising identifiers. Even carries no advertising SDK and does no tracking across other apps or websites.
• Payment details. Subscriptions are bought through Apple under Apple's own terms. We are told whether your household is subscribed; we never see a card number, a billing address or a receipt.

What your partner can see

Before you write something into Even, treat it the way you would treat a note left on the kitchen counter. If you later remove a chore or a household, your partner may already have seen it, and their device may hold a copy until it next syncs.

You can use Even on your own before your partner joins. Until they redeem your invite code, nobody else sees your household at all.

Why we use it, and on what legal basis

Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting anything done before you did. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have weighed those interests against your rights and you may object — see Your rights.

Where your information is stored, and who processes it

We use a small number of service providers. Each is a data processor acting on our instructions under a written agreement, and none of them is permitted to use your information for their own purposes.

Some of these providers operate outside the UK and EEA. Where information is transferred internationally it is protected by the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, or an adequacy decision, as applicable. Crash reports, product analytics and subscription state are processed in the United States under the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK Addendum.

A copy of your household's data also lives on your own phone, so the app works with no signal. That copy is removed when you delete the app.

Other times information may be shared

Beyond the providers above, and the other person in your household, there are two situations in which your information could go somewhere else. Neither is routine.

If Even changes hands

If Even is sold, merged into another business, or wound up, the information described in this policy may pass to the buyer or successor as part of that. We will tell you — in the app or by email — before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy, so you have the chance to delete your account first if you would rather it did not go.

If the law requires it

We may disclose information where we are obliged to: to comply with a court order or other legal obligation, to respond to a valid request from a public authority such as the police or a regulator, to investigate a suspected breach of our terms, to establish or defend a legal claim, or where someone's safety is genuinely at risk. We will not hand over more than the request actually calls for, and where we are permitted to tell you it happened, we will.

Analytics and crash reports

This is the part most policies are vague about, so here is precisely how it works.

They are two separate switches, in Settings → Privacy, and both are on unless you turn them off. Nothing in setup asks you about them: the sign-up screen links to this policy, and that Settings screen says in plain words what they carry and that they are on. Turning either off is how you object to us relying on them at all. It takes effect immediately and nothing is captured while it is off.

Nothing is captured on a first launch until the answer stored on your phone has been read, and nothing is sent while the app is still working that out.

When they are on:

• Events are named and sent by hand. Automatic capture of screens and taps is disabled, so there is no stream of everything you touched.
• Events carry counts, dates and fixed categories — that a chore was completed, that a week was closed, which check-in choice was picked. Free text has no route into them.
• A redaction layer strips personal detail out of anything on its way to either provider, at any depth, as a backstop against mistakes. Chore names, display names, "done looks like" descriptions, thanks notes, check-in notes, snooze and pause reasons, drafts, photographs, file paths, email addresses and phone numbers are all removed before anything leaves your phone.
• Crash reports carry the technical detail of the failure — the error, where in the code it happened, the device model and the app version — not the contents of your list. A sample of one in ten sessions also sends timing data about how quickly screens loaded.
• They are not anonymous. Both are tied to your account's identifier — a random number, never your name or your email — so that a crash can be matched to the account that hit it. This is why they are listed as linked to you in the App Store's privacy label.

Your two answers are kept on that phone, are not shared with the person you live with, and survive signing out.

Even Plus

Even is free for the first week of a household's life, counted from the day the household was made, not from each phone. No card is asked for and nothing is charged. After that week, the app needs an Even Plus subscription to keep going. One subscription covers both people in the household.

The subscription itself is sold, billed and renewed by Apple through the App Store, under Apple's terms. We never receive your payment details. What we do receive, through Superwall, is whether Apple reports an active subscription for your household, and when the free week runs out. To make one subscription cover two phones, Superwall is told your household's identifier rather than your personal one, so both of you count as the same subscriber to it.

Superwall also receives the ordinary device details the App Store needs to show and complete a purchase — device model, operating system, app version and language — and records how the subscription screen was used: that it was shown, that it was dismissed, that a purchase was started or restored. It receives nothing from inside your household.

You can see your subscription, restore a purchase or open Apple's subscription management from Settings → Even Plus. Cancelling is done in your App Store account, not in Even, and deleting your Even account does not cancel a subscription: do that first.

Push notifications

If you allow notifications, Even stores one push token for your device. Most of what you are told is worked out on your own phone from your own list and never touches a server: the morning list of what is yours that day, a reminder two hours before the day is meant to be wrapped up (or before a chore's set time), an evening note about anything that did not happen, and the check-in on your household's chosen day.

Two kinds are sent from our servers, because they depend on what the other phone did: that your partner picked up a chore that was yours, and that your partner put a suggestion to you. Those are prepared on our servers, which resolve who should be told and what the message says before it is sent. The four local kinds and the "when they pick something up" notification each have a switch in Settings → Notifications; a suggestion from your partner arrives whenever notifications are allowed at all. You can turn every kind off in your device's system settings at any time. The token is replaced whenever your device issues a new one, and removed when your account is deleted.

Photographs

Three kinds of photograph can exist in Even, and all three are optional:

• A profile photograph. Only you can replace it; your partner can see it.
• A photograph of what "done" looks like, attached to a chore. Either of you can retake it and both of you can see it — it is a shared agreement, so it is stored under the household rather than under either person.
• A screenshot attached to feedback. Stored under your account alone. Your partner cannot see it.

All three are held in private storage buckets — not on a public URL. Access is granted per request, for a limited time, to signed-in members of the household (or, for a feedback screenshot, to you alone). Guessing a file path gets nothing. The app requests camera or photo-library access only at the moment you choose to add a picture, and you can refuse and still use every other part of the app. Even does not record video and never asks for the microphone.

The home-screen widget

Even's Today widget shows the next few days of your own chores on your iPhone's home screen, and lets you tick one off from there. The app writes that short list into a shared container on your device that only Even and its widget can read; a tick made on the widget is handed back to the app the same way. Nothing about the widget goes over the network. Bear in mind that anyone who can see your home screen can read the chore names on it.

Feedback

Settings → Share feedback lets you send us an idea or report a problem. It asks which part of Even it is about, what you want to say, and whether we may write back — and if you say yes, the reply goes to the email address on your account. A screenshot can be attached.

Feedback is the one thing in Even that belongs to you rather than to your household. It is stored under your account, your partner cannot see it, and it carries nothing about your chores or your home beyond what you type. Each submission is emailed to our support inbox as it arrives, and a daily summary is sent as a safety net. The app also shows you what you have sent and what has happened to it — read, planned, shipped, or not planned.

The waitlist on this website

Before Even is on the App Store, evenapp.site/waitlist lets you leave an email address, optionally a first name, and your country. The country is used only to decide where Even opens next. It is stored in our database and used for exactly two emails: one straight away to confirm you are on the list, and one on the day Even is released. If you tick the box on the form we will also email you occasionally about Even itself, such as new features and new countries; that box is unticked unless you tick it, and any such email tells you how to stop them. It is not shared with anyone and not linked to an app account. If you later make an account with the same address, the two are still kept apart.

The legal basis is your consent, which you give by submitting the form and can withdraw by writing to support@evenapp.site; we will remove the address. Signing up a second time with the same address does nothing and sends nothing.

How long we keep it

• Your account and household data — for as long as your account exists.
• Completions, thanks and closed weeks — these are an append-only record, so a household's history stays intact for as long as the household does. Deleting your account removes your share of it.
• Feedback and its screenshots — until your account is deleted, when they go with it. The copy emailed to our support inbox is kept for up to two years, like any other support email.
• Invite codes — they expire on their own, and are cleared once used.
• Push tokens — until they are replaced by a new one or your account is deleted.
• Subscription state — held by Apple and Superwall under their own retention schedules; the purchase record is Apple's, not ours.
• Crash reports and analytics — kept by those providers under their own retention schedules, typically no more than 90 days for crash reports and 12 months for analytics.
• An empty household — removed automatically once nobody is left in it.
• Support emails — kept for up to two years so we can follow up on a thread.
• Waitlist addresses — until the launch email has been sent and 30 days have passed, or until you ask, whichever is sooner. An address that opted in to updates is kept until you opt out.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account and its data from inside the app: Settings → Account → Delete your account. This removes your profile, your push token, your photographs, your feedback and its screenshots, and your household — a household in Even is two people, so when either of you leaves it ends, and every chore, completion, note and closed week in it goes too.

Deletion is permanent and there is no undo. Backups are overwritten on their own schedule and are fully purged within 30 days.

If you cannot reach the app, write to support@evenapp.site from the address on the account and we will do it for you within 30 days. Full instructions are on the Delete Account page.

Deleting your account does not touch your partner's account. Their sign-in survives and so does the copy of the list held on their own phone, which is theirs as much as yours and is not ours to erase; what ends is the household the two of you shared. It also does not cancel an Even Plus subscription — that lives in the App Store account that bought it.

Your rights

If you are in the UK or the EEA, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you, and get a copy of it.
• Correct anything that is wrong — most of it you can edit yourself in the app.
• Delete your information, as described above.
• Restrict or object to processing we carry out on the basis of legitimate interests — for analytics and crash reports, the switches in Settings → Privacy do exactly this.
• Portability — receive your information in a machine-readable format.
• Withdraw consent at any time, for notifications or for us replying to your feedback.

Write to support@evenapp.site to exercise any of these. We will answer within one month, and we will not charge you or treat you differently for asking. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to your national data protection authority — in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

If you are in the United States

Several states — California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and others — give their residents rights over personal information. Whether or not those laws apply to an operation this size, we will honour them: you have the right to know what is collected and how it is used, to get a copy of it, to have it corrected or deleted, and not to be treated differently for asking. The categories we collect are identifiers, commercial information (your subscription status), and the user-generated content described above. Write to support@evenapp.site and we will answer within 45 days.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising — as those terms are defined by the CCPA and CPRA and their equivalents in other states — and we have not done so in the preceding twelve months. There is no opt-out to offer you, because there is nothing to opt out of. We do not process sensitive personal information for the purposes those laws restrict, and we run no targeted advertising or profiling of any kind.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access to a household's rows is enforced in the database itself by row-level security, not only in the app, so a signed-in person cannot read another household's data even by asking the API directly. Feedback is locked to the account that sent it in the same way. Photograph storage is private and served only through short-lived signed links. Sessions are held in your device's secure keychain or keystore. Passwords must be at least ten characters with a mix of character types, and invite codes are single-use, expire on their own, and are throttled against guessing.

No system is perfectly secure, and we do not claim otherwise. If you believe you have found a vulnerability, please write to support@evenapp.site before disclosing it publicly, and we will work with you.

Links to other places

Even links out in a few places that are not ours: the App Store, WhatsApp or whichever messaging app you use to send an invite code, Apple's subscription management page, and the websites of the providers named above. Following one of those links takes you somewhere governed by someone else's privacy policy rather than this one. We have no control over what those sites collect and are not responsible for it, so it is worth reading their policy before you give them anything.

Children

Even is intended for adults running a home together and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13, or under 16 where local law sets that age. If you believe a child has given us information, write to support@evenapp.site and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes we will update the date at the top of the page, and for any change that materially affects your rights we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use Even after a change means you accept the updated policy.
