Privacy Policy

DRAFT for review. Last updated November 10, 2026. Effective date: [effective date, set when Cory approves].

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information FairShare Parents ("we", "us") collects, why, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. FairShare Parents is operated by Cory Kohlman in British Columbia, Canada, through [legal entity name, Cory to confirm], which is responsible for your information (the "controller"). It applies to fairshareparents.com and the FairShare Parents web app (the "Service"). Please read it with our Terms of Service.

1. The short version

  • We collect what you and your co-parent put into the Service, plus what we need to run your account and billing.
  • We use it to run the Service for your family. We don't sell it, we don't use it for advertising, and we don't let others use it for their own marketing.
  • Your co-parent can see what you add to your shared family.
  • You can export your records and ask us to delete your account at any time.

2. What we collect

Information you give us

  • Account details: your name, email address and sign-in details.
  • Family details: your family name, time zone, currency and the co-parent you invite (their email address).
  • Children's details that parents choose to add, such as a first name, a color, school or activity events and expenses (see section 5).
  • Calendar events, schedule swaps, expenses, receipts and photos you upload, messages, notes and comments.
  • Support messages you send us.

Billing information

  • When you subscribe, our payment processor Stripe collects your card or payment details, billing name, email, country or postal code. We receive only limited details back from Stripe: a customer and subscription ID, your plan, its status and dates, and the card brand and last four digits. We never see or store your full card number.

Information collected automatically

  • Basic technical data needed to keep the Service secure and working: IP address, browser and device type, pages requested, and timestamps in server logs.
  • Cookies that keep you signed in and remember your demo session. We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
  • To provide the Service (performance of our contract with you): show the shared calendar, expenses and messages to both parents, send the invite and notifications you ask for, and build your PDF export.
  • Billing (contract, and legal obligations): manage your trial and subscription, take payments through Stripe, keep tax and accounting records.
  • Security and improvement (our legitimate interests): protect accounts, prevent abuse and fraud, fix bugs, and understand in aggregate which features are used.
  • Legal reasons (legal obligation): comply with law, enforce our Terms, and respond to valid legal requests.
  • With your consent, where the law requires it. You can withdraw consent at any time.

4. Who we share it with

  • Your co-parent. Whatever you add to your shared family is visible to the other parent in that family.
  • Service providers who process data for us under contract, only to run the Service:
    • Supabase, which stores the app's database, files and sign-in;
    • Stripe, which processes payments and manages subscriptions (Stripe is also responsible for its own handling of payment data, under the Stripe Privacy Policy);
    • Fly.io, which hosts the web app;
    • [email delivery provider, if any, Cory to confirm].
  • Legal and safety. If the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety, we may disclose information in response to a valid legal request such as a court order. Where we are allowed to, we will tell you first.
  • Business transfers. If FairShare Parents is sold or merged, your information may transfer to the new owner, who must keep protecting it under this Policy.

We do not sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising.

5. Children's information

The Service is for parents. Children do not create accounts and we do not knowingly collect information directly from children. Information about children is entered by their parents only, and is used only to run the Service for that family. A parent can edit or delete a child's details at any time, or ask us to delete them. If you think a child has given us information directly, contact us and we will delete it.

6. Where your information is stored

We are based in Canada. Our providers may store and process information in Canada, the United States, the European Union or other countries. When information about people in the EU, the UK or Switzerland is transferred abroad, we rely on safeguards the law allows, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses and the UK addendum. Information processed in another country may be accessible to that country's courts and authorities under its laws.

[Cory to confirm the Supabase and Fly.io regions.]

7. How long we keep it

  • We keep your account and family records while your account is open.
  • If you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where we must keep some of it longer by law (for example, billing records for tax purposes) or to settle a dispute. Backups are overwritten within [backup retention, Cory to confirm].
  • Records you shared with your co-parent stay in their family record if they keep their account, because they are part of both parents' shared history. Ask us if you want something specific removed and we will look at it under the law that applies.

8. Export and deletion

  • Export: either parent can download the family record as a PDF from Export in the app.
  • Deletion: you can ask us to delete your account at [support email, Cory to add]. We will confirm who you are first.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have these rights over your personal information:

  • Everyone: to ask what we hold about you, get a copy, correct it, and ask us to delete it. We will answer within 30 days (or the period your law sets), and we won't charge you or treat you differently for asking.
  • European Union and EEA (GDPR) and United Kingdom (UK GDPR): access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection to processing based on legitimate interests, data portability, and withdrawing consent. You can complain to your local data protection authority, or in the UK to the Information Commissioner's Office.
  • California (CCPA, as amended by the CPRA): to know what personal information we collect, use and disclose; to delete it; to correct it; to opt out of its sale or sharing (we do not sell or share it for cross-context advertising); to limit the use of sensitive personal information (we only use it to provide the Service); and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. You can use an authorized agent.
  • Canada (PIPEDA and British Columbia's PIPA): access and correction, and to withdraw consent subject to legal or contractual limits. You can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia.
  • Other places, such as Australia, Brazil and other US states, give similar rights. We will honor them where they apply.

To use any of these rights, email [support email, Cory to add].

10. Security

We protect your information with encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls that limit each family's data to its own members, and limited staff access. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your information, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.

11. Changes to this Policy

If we make a significant change, we will tell you by email or in the app before it applies. The date at the top shows when this Policy was last updated.
