Privacy Policy

Effective date: 18 August 2026

Overview

DobbyLight is a family organiser that helps families manage calendars, chores, tasks, meal plans and growth milestones. Your data belongs to you and stays in your own Google account.

Information we collect

• Basic Google profile information (name and email address) when you sign in.
• Family member names and optional photos that you add to the app.
• Calendar and task data you choose to display from your Google account.
• Chores, rewards, meal plans and growth entries you create within the app.

How we use information

We use the information to show and manage your family's schedule and tasks. We do not sell, rent or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Where your data is stored

DobbyLight does not operate its own database. Instead, your information is stored in your own Google account:

• Calendar events and task lists are read from and written to your Google Calendar and Google Tasks.
• Family members, chores, rewards, meal plans and growth entries are stored as an event log inside your Google Drive appDataFolder, which only this app can access.
• Member photos are stored as files created by the app in your Google Drive.

Google OAuth

We use Google's OAuth service to authenticate you and access the Google APIs you authorise. Your Google refresh token is encrypted and stored in an HttpOnly session cookie in your browser; our server (a Cloudflare Worker) uses it only to issue short-lived access tokens on your behalf and does not permanently store it in any database.

AskDobby (AI assistant)

If you use AskDobby, the text (and any photo) you submit is sent, via our server, to Google's Gemini API to generate a response. We do not store these requests ourselves; they are processed according to Google's applicable terms for the Gemini API.

Children's privacy

DobbyLight is intended for family use, including use by children under parental supervision. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information without consent, please contact us.

Data retention and deletion

Because data is stored in your Google account, you can delete it at any time by removing the app's data from Google Drive, revoking access from your Google account, or deleting the files created by the app.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
