Hausli privacy policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
In short
- Hausli keeps your household's plans, lists and notes so the people in your household can share them. Only members of your household can see them.
- We don't sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising profiles.
- Free households see one ad banner on the More page of the Android app, and can choose to watch a short video ad for extra recipe ideas. Pro households see no ads.
- You can delete your account and data in the app at any time (Settings → Delete my account).
Who is responsible
Hausli is made by StudioVBN, Switzerland. Contact: hello@vbnstudio.ch.
What we keep and why
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Email address and the name you choose | To sign you in and to show your household who added what. |
| What you put in the app: calendar events, meal plans, recipes and ratings, shopping and other lists, schedules, contacts and birthdays, cleaning tasks, workouts and weigh-ins | So your household can see and edit it together, on every device. |
| A notification address for each phone that turns reminders on | To send event reminders to that phone. |
| Your household's plan (free or Pro) and the end date of a Pro subscription | To unlock Pro features. Payment details stay with Google Play; we never see them. |
| How many AI recipe ideas your household used this month | To apply the monthly limit. |
Contacts and birthdays you add are about other people. Only add people who would be fine with your household knowing those details.
Services we use
- Google Firebase stores the data and handles sign-in and Android notifications.
- Netlify hosts the website and the server functions.
- Brevo sends the 6-digit sign-in codes by email.
- Anthropic (Claude) writes recipe ideas when you ask for them. It receives the names and scores of the dishes your household rated, never your name or email. Anthropic doesn't use this to train its models.
- Google Play and RevenueCat handle Pro subscriptions. RevenueCat receives a random household number and the purchase details from Google Play.
- Google AdMob shows the ad banner and the optional reward videos to free households in the Android app. When a video is watched to the end, Google tells our server, with your account and household ids, so we can add the extra ideas. Where required (EU, UK, Switzerland) you are asked first whether ads may be personalised, and you can change that later in Settings. AdMob may use your phone's advertising ID. See how Google uses data for ads.
Some of these companies process data outside Switzerland, including in the EU and the USA, under standard data protection clauses.
How long we keep it
As long as your account exists. When you delete your account, you leave your household and your sign-in account is removed. If you were the last member, the whole household and everything in it is deleted. Copies in backups disappear within 30 days.
Deleting your account
In the app: More → Settings → Delete my account. If you can't open the app, email hello@vbnstudio.ch from the address you sign in with, and we delete it within 30 days.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or to get a copy of it, by emailing us. You can also complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), or to the data protection authority where you live.
Children
Hausli is meant for adults running a household. It isn't aimed at children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new date. For important changes we also tell you in the app.
