How Famcrest handles your information

This is a plain-language summary of how the app works today. Our full privacy policy will be published here before Famcrest launches.

Who can see what

• Only your household. Everything you add belongs to your household. The database checks every request, so one family can never see another’s information.
• Roles. Parents manage the household. Teens and caregivers see shared things and what’s been shared with them.
• “Only me.” Events, tasks and notes marked “Only me” are visible to you alone.
• Leaving. When someone is removed from a household, their access ends straight away.

The Vault

• Documents are kept in private storage that phones can’t reach directly. Each time one is opened, access is checked and the opening is recorded for the household.
• Documents aren’t saved on your phone, and the Vault opens with Face ID or your passcode.
• Adults see household documents. Others see only what’s shared with them, and shares can end automatically.
• Deleted documents go to a trash for 30 days, then are removed for good.

The assistant

• Ask Famcrest uses Claude, an AI made by Anthropic. To answer a question, the assistant sends Anthropic the question and the parts of your family’s calendar, tasks and grocery list it needs, which can include names.
• It never sees Vault documents, notes or anything marked “Only me.”
• Conversations aren’t stored in Famcrest. Anything that affects someone else waits for you to confirm.
• A household owner can turn the assistant off for everyone.

Your account

• You can delete your account in the app at any time. Your private items and login are deleted. Shared things stay with your family.
• Children don’t have accounts. Teens 13 and older can be invited by a parent.
