Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 19, 2026

1. Introduction

Upkeep ("we", "us", "our") operates the Upkeep mobile application. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. Data We Collect

We collect the following personal data when you use Upkeep:

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data solely to deliver the Upkeep service: to generate personalised maintenance schedules, send task reminders, and store your completion history. We do not use your data for any other purpose.

Legal basis: GDPR Article 6(1)(b) — processing necessary for the performance of a contract.

4. Data Storage

All user data is stored on Firebase (Google Cloud Platform infrastructure) with servers in the EU. No personal data is stored on your device itself.

5. No Sensitive Personal Data

We do not collect legal names, physical addresses, government IDs, or financial information. Properties in the app are identified using user-defined nicknames only (e.g., "My Apartment", "Beach House") — never real addresses.

6. User-Uploaded Content

Photos and receipts uploaded by users may contain personal information (e.g., names or addresses visible on receipts). Users upload this content at their own risk. We display a warning in the app before receipt uploads.

We do not scan, analyse, or moderate uploaded images.

7. Third-Party Services

We use Firebase (Google) as our data processor for authentication, database, and file storage. Google's GDPR compliance and Data Processing Terms apply. We do not share your data with any other third parties.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. We do not use your data for marketing, advertising, or analytics.

9. Your Rights Under GDPR

As a user in the European Economic Area, you have the right to:

10. Data Retention

Your data is kept for as long as your account is active. Upon account deletion, all your data — including your profile, properties, tasks, photos, receipts, contractor contacts, and invitations — is immediately and permanently deleted. We do not retain any data after account deletion.

11. Children's Privacy

Upkeep is not intended for use by children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal data, we will delete it promptly.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the app. Continued use of Upkeep after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
