Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 13, 2026
Effective for: the YurUp mobile application on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store

This Privacy Policy explains how YurUp (“YurUp,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you download, access, or use the YurUp app and related services (including household invite and support pages). YurUp is operated in connection with GovCom Solutions (govcomsolutions.com).

By using YurUp, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app. Our Terms of Use separately govern your use of the service.

1. Who This Policy Applies To

This policy applies to users of the YurUp mobile app and related online services we operate for YurUp. It does not apply to third-party websites, apps, or services that we do not control.

Age requirement. You must be at least 16 years old to create a YurUp account. We collect date of birth during signup (and during profile completion for some social sign-in users) to enforce this requirement. YurUp is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account and Profile Information

• Email address — account creation, sign-in, email verification, password reset, and support.
• Display name — shown to members of your household.
• Date of birth — required in YYYY-MM-DD format to verify you are at least 16.
• Optional nickname — if you set one in Settings.
• Authentication data — Firebase Authentication identifiers when you use email/password, Google Sign-In, or Sign in with Apple.
• Optional multi-factor authentication (MFA) — if used, Firebase Auth may process SMS phone numbers and/or TOTP authenticator factors for sign-in verification. Phone number is not a required signup field.
• Profile preferences — such as avatar color, onboarding/tour status, registration status, vacation mode, and similar settings.
• Household membership — which household(s) you belong to and your role (for example member or admin).

If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple may share your name and email (including a private relay email) on first sign-in. Google Sign-In may share your Google account name and email. Those practices are also governed by Apple’s and Google’s policies.

2.2 Household and User-Generated Content

Content you and your household create is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore) so YurUp can sync across devices. This may include:

• Household details — household name, invite/join codes and invite metadata, member and admin lists, subscription tier, and usage counters.
• Chores — titles, assignments, due dates, completion/skip/swap history, rotation data, and related activity.
• Chore activity logs and streaks — household activity messages and member streak statistics.
• Expenses and splits — amounts, descriptions, payers, split configuration, optional line items, and receipt-derived notes.
• Chat — household messages (including newer thread-based chat and any legacy chat records), reactions, read receipts, replies, and related metadata.
• Polls — questions, options, votes, and voter identifiers as stored by the feature.
• Order Squads — group order details, items, prices, and custom splits.
• Chore Court — dispute titles, descriptions, parties, votes, case logs, and related penalty references.
• Penalties — penalty library entries and case-linked penalties.
• Tidy AI conversations and reports — prompts to the in-app assistant, conversation history, and generated summaries you save.
• In-app notifications — notification inbox items delivered to your account.
• Usage and quotas — per-user and household monthly usage records used to enforce plan limits (for example expenses, receipt scans, AI commands, Order Squads, or household size).

Content you add in a shared household is visible to other members of that household according to the app’s features and permissions.

2.3 Device, Permissions, and Technical Data

• Push notification tokens (FCM) — stored on your profile to deliver chore reminders, chat alerts, and other notifications you enable.
• Notification permission state — so we can respect OS-level notification settings and deliver remote or local notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging and on-device notification tooling such as Notifee).
• On-device storage — cached household and app state on your device for performance.

Depending on features you use, YurUp may request:

• Camera and photo library — to capture or select receipt images (and related documents) for expense tracking. Receipt images are processed for transaction details as described in Section 3. In the current app version, receipt images are not uploaded to Firebase Storage.
• Microphone and speech recognition — reserved for Tidy voice input. Voice input is currently disabled in shipped feature flags; permissions may still appear in store listings or OS prompts and may be enabled in a future release.
• Notifications — push and local reminders, including optional birthday milestone alerts to household members (notification text uses a member’s first name, not their full date of birth).

2.4 Subscription and Payment Information

• Paid subscriptions are billed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not receive or store full payment card numbers.
• We use RevenueCat to obtain subscription status (product/entitlement identifiers, expiration, restore state) and associate it with your Firebase user ID and household.
• We store subscription tier and usage counters on the household (and related per-user quota records) to enforce plan limits.

2.5 Support Communications

If you email us (for example at advaith@govcomsolutions.com or from Subscription Hub / paywall support flows), we receive the information you choose to send — such as your email address, household name, and message content — so we can respond.

2.6 Information We Do Not Collect

Based on the current app, we do not collect precise GPS/location data, device contacts, advertising identifiers for cross-app tracking, government ID numbers, or full payment card numbers. We do not sell personal information. Product analytics and crash-reporting SDKs are not wired in current production paths. Giphy is configured in the project but is not used in the current client runtime. YurUp does not currently use Plaid or Stripe in the production app.

3. AI Processing (Tidy and Receipt Scanning)

YurUp includes an AI assistant (“Tidy”) and receipt scanning that may send data to Groq (api.groq.com), a third-party AI provider, to generate responses or parse receipts.

Depending on how you use these features, data sent to Groq may include:

• Your text prompts and Tidy conversation history.
• Your display name and household name.
• Household context needed to answer your request — such as member names, open/recent chores, unsettled or settled expenses, and open Chore Court cases.
• Receipt images (as encoded image data) and/or extracted receipt text, which may include merchant name, address, transaction date, line items, tax, tip, and limited payment details (for example card type and last four digits if visible on the receipt).

We do not intentionally include passwords, FCM tokens, or dates of birth in the Tidy household snapshot sent to Groq. Groq processes data under its own terms and privacy policy. Do not submit sensitive information in prompts unless you accept that processing.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

• Create and manage accounts and authenticate users (including optional MFA).
• Provide household features (chores, expenses, chat, polls, Order Squads, Chore Court, invites, and subscriptions).
• Sync data across devices and household members.
• Send notifications and reminders you enable.
• Enforce subscription entitlements and usage limits.
• Operate AI features (Tidy, receipt scanning) and save reports you choose to keep.
• Respond to support requests and protect the security and integrity of the service.
• Comply with applicable law.

5. How We Share Information

We share information only as needed to operate YurUp:

• Household members — content you add to a shared household is visible to other members of that household.
• Google Firebase — Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Messaging, and Cloud Functions.
• Apple and Google — Sign in with Apple, Google Sign-In, MFA SMS where used, and App Store / Play Store billing.
• RevenueCat — subscription status linked to your Firebase user ID.
• Groq — AI processing for Tidy and receipt scanning.
• Legal and safety — if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or to respond to valid legal process.

We do not sell personal information and do not share it with advertisers for cross-context behavioral advertising.

6. Data Retention

• Account and household data is generally retained while your account and households exist.
• Chore activity logs may be automatically deleted after approximately three months.
• Household invite links typically expire after about 30 days (unless configured otherwise).
• Subscription usage and quota counters reset on a monthly cycle.
• We may retain records as required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or billing-dispute purposes.

7. Account Deletion

You may delete your account in the app (Settings → Delete Account) or by contacting us at advaith@govcomsolutions.com.

When you delete your account:

• Your Firebase Authentication account and user profile are deleted.
• If you are the only member of a household, that household may be deleted.
• If others remain, you are removed from the member list; some content you created may remain visible to the household.
• Certain records tied to you may be deleted where the current deletion flow supports it (for example some legacy chat messages you sent, chores assigned to you, expenses you paid, or court cases where you were the defendant).

Some data may not be fully removed by today’s deletion flow, including newer chat-thread messages, polls, Order Squads, chore logs, penalties, household invites, Tidy conversation history and reports, member streaks, notification inbox items, per-user quota records, and certain shared household content. Store billing records remain with Apple, Google, and/or RevenueCat.

Deleting your YurUp account does not cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription. Manage or cancel billing in your device’s store settings.

8. Your Choices and Rights

• Profile — update name, nickname, and birthday in Settings (subject to age rules).
• Notifications — disable push notifications in device settings; the app remains usable if notification permission is denied.
• Permissions — deny camera, photo, or microphone access; related features will not work.
• Household membership — leave a household or ask an admin to remove you.
• Access, correction, and deletion — depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information. Contact us using the details below.

If you are in the EEA, UK, or California (and similar jurisdictions), additional rights may apply — such as the right to know, delete, port data, or object to certain processing. We do not sell personal information. We will honor applicable requests consistent with our legal obligations. California residents will not be discriminated against for exercising CCPA/CPRA rights.

9. Security

We use industry-standard measures through Firebase and HTTPS to protect data in transit and at rest. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Use a strong password, keep your device secure, and enable MFA if available for your account.

10. International Transfers

Our service providers (including Google/Firebase, RevenueCat, Apple/Google, and Groq) may process data in the United States and other countries. By using YurUp, you understand your information may be transferred to jurisdictions with different data-protection laws.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy at this URL and update the “Last updated” date. Where required, we may provide additional notice. Continued use of the app after changes become effective constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
