Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Minute Meter ("the app") is a household chore and screen-time tracking tool. This page explains what information the app collects, how it's used, and your choices.

Who this app is for

Minute Meter is designed to be used by a parent or guardian to track chores and screen-time rewards for their child. Children do not create their own accounts, log in, or interact with the app's account system directly — only the parent who creates and manages the household does.

Information we collect

Account information: your email address, and if you sign in with Google, your name and profile photo as provided by Google.
Household data you enter: a nickname for your child (never their real name unless you choose to enter one, their full legal identity, date of birth, or contact information), a list of chores and behaviors you create, and a log of when they were marked complete or a screen-time deduction was made.
Basic technical data: standard information collected automatically by our hosting and authentication providers (Google Firebase), such as device type and general usage timestamps, used only to keep the service running reliably.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. All data about a child is entered by the parent, about the child, for the parent's own household tracking purposes.

How your information is used

To provide the core functionality of the app — syncing your household's chores and screen-time balance across your devices.
To let a second adult (e.g. a spouse) join the same household using a link you choose to share.
To communicate with you about your account if needed (e.g. password reset).

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for behavioral advertising. We do not show ads in this app.

Where your data is stored

Data is stored using Google Firebase (Firestore and Firebase Authentication), a cloud infrastructure provider. Access to your household's data is restricted to accounts you or another household member have explicitly signed in with and been granted access to.

Data sharing

We do not share your data with third parties for marketing purposes. Data may be processed by our infrastructure providers (Google Firebase) solely to operate the app. If in-app subscriptions are enabled, purchase and subscription status information is shared with our billing partner (RevenueCat) and the app store you purchased through (Google Play or Apple App Store), solely to manage your subscription.

Your choices

You can edit or delete any chore, behavior, or history entry at any time within the app.
You can request deletion of your account and all associated household data by contacting us (see Support).

Children's privacy

This app is not directed at children and is not listed in any "kids" or "families" app category. It is a productivity tool used by parents. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information directly (rather than through a parent's own household setup), please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
