Privacy Policy

Cleaning Buddy · Last updated: 8 September 2026

Cleaning Buddy (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is a gentle cleaning-companion app published by Monryte SRL. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. We keep data to the minimum needed to run the app, and we never sell your data.

The short version

We practise data minimisation: we keep only what’s necessary to run the App, never sell your data, and never share it for ads. Here’s exactly what we collect and the rights you have over it.

1. Privacy & your data

We practise data minimisation: only what’s necessary to run the App, nothing more. We never sell your data or share it for ads.

We collect: account basics (email, login), your in-app activity (rooms, tasks, streaks, settings), and your Buddy+ status — never your full card details.

We don’t require contacts, precise location, or microphone. When you use Snap, your photo is sent to a third-party AI provider to generate a cleaning plan. Depending on availability we use one of: Google (Gemini), Groq, Cerebras, or OpenRouter. We do not store the photo on our servers; each provider processes the image under its own terms, which may include using it to improve their services.

Photos you save to Wins are kept privately in your account until you delete them or your account.

We use privacy-respecting analytics and crash reporting to improve the App (you can turn analytics off in Settings). We keep your data while your account is active. When you ask us to delete your account, we hold it for a 14-day grace period (so you can undo), then permanently erase your account and all associated data — including saved photos — from our systems. You can access, correct, export, or delete your data, and delete your account, anytime.

2. European users (GDPR & UK GDPR)

Cleaning Buddy is the data controller. We process data under contract, legitimate interests, consent, or legal obligation. You may access, correct, erase, restrict, object to, or port your data, and withdraw consent. No ad-profiling or solely-automated decisions. Transfers outside the EEA/UK use Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy. You can complain to your supervisory authority (e.g. the ICO or your national DPA).

3. Who processes your data (sub-processors)

We use trusted service providers to run the App, each under a data-processing agreement:

We do not sell your data to, or share it for advertising with, any of them. Some of these providers process data on servers outside the EU (e.g. the United States); data in transit is always encrypted (HTTPS/TLS).

4. On-device storage (no cookies)

As an app we don’t use browser cookies. We store settings, progress, and your login token on your device so the App works — this is strictly necessary and needs no consent. No ad tracking, no advertising-ID use. We’d ask consent first before adding any non-essential technology.

Children

You must be at least 16 (or the minimum digital-consent age where you live, if higher) to use Cleaning Buddy. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under that age.

Changes

We may update this policy; the “last updated” date above will change. Material changes will be surfaced in the app.
