Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 12, 2026
Great Lake Enterprises LLC (d/b/a Eaverly) ("Eaverly", "we", "us", or "our") built Eaverly (the "App") to help homeowners maintain their homes. We designed it to collect as little personal data as possible. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. By using the App you agree to this policy.
The short version
- Eaverly is local-first. Your home profile, tasks, logbook, expenses, contractors, and documents are stored on your device by default. You can use the entire app without creating an account.
- Sign-in is optional. If you want cloud backup, you verify your email with a one-time code (OTP). We do not use passwords.
- Cloud backup is locked to you. When you're signed in, a copy of your plan is stored in our database, protected in transit and locked to your verified email — only your signed-in devices can restore it.
- We don't sell your data, and we don't show ads.
Information We Collect
Stored on your device (not sent to us unless you turn on cloud backup)
- Home profile: home type, approximate age, systems/appliances you track, ZIP/state (for regional cost estimates and weather alerts).
- Activity: tasks you complete, logbook notes, expenses, saved contractors, and any documents/photos you add.
- Clippings: saved links/videos, any shared caption or text sent from the share sheet, platform metadata such as title/creator/thumbnail when available, and where you file the clip in your home.
- App preferences: reminders, AI consent choice, and similar settings.
Information you provide to us
- Email address — if you join our mailing list during onboarding, or sign in for cloud backup. Used to send a one-time login code and (for the list) occasional product updates you can unsubscribe from.
- Name — optional, for personalization and the mailing list.
- Cloud backup contents — only if you sign in: the home-profile, activity, and Clippings data listed above, stored as a single backup record tied to your email.
Information collected automatically
- Product analytics (optional): we may use Amplitude to understand which features are used, in aggregate, to improve the app. We do not attach your name, email, or home address to analytics events.
- Basic device/app info needed to run and debug the App (app version, OS version, error information). We do not use Sentry or any third-party crash SDK at this time; if that changes we will update this policy.
- Location (optional): if you enable weather alerts, the App reads your approximate device location and sends the coordinates to the U.S. National Weather Service (weather.gov) to fetch your local forecast. The forecast and coordinates are cached on your device only — they are never stored on Eaverly's servers. If you decline location permission, weather alerts simply stay off.
We do not store your location on our servers. ZIP/state is something you enter; device location is used only for the optional weather alerts described above.
How We Use Information
- Generate your personalized maintenance schedule and reminders.
- Provide regional cost estimates and (if enabled) weather-related alerts.
- Power the optional AI features described below.
- Keep your cloud backup safe and restore it to a new device when you sign in.
- Improve the App (aggregate analytics) and respond to support requests.
AI Features (Ask Beverly, Quote Check, Data-Plate Photos, Clippings)
These features are optional and ask for your consent before first use.
- When you use them, we send the relevant input — your question, the quote you're checking, the appliance photo, or the link/text from a saved clip — to our AI provider, Anthropic, to generate a response. Ask Beverly, Quote Check, and data-plate photos may also include a summary of your home context when that is needed for the answer.
- For Clippings, Eaverly saves the original link first. If Beverly reads the clip, the backend may fetch public page metadata such as title, creator, and thumbnail and send the link/shared text to Anthropic so the clip can be checked and filed. We do not download TikTok, Instagram, or other social videos.
- We send only what's needed for a useful answer. We do not send your full contact details to the AI as part of the prompt.
- AI responses are general guidance, not professional advice, and can be wrong — verify anything safety- or money-critical with a licensed professional.
- Your AI chat history and saved clips are stored on your device, not as a server-side history. We keep minimal server-side usage counts (for rate limiting and abuse prevention).
- Per Anthropic's commercial API terms, inputs sent through the API are not used to train their models.
Data Storage and Security
- On-device: the source of truth for your data is local storage on your phone.
- Cloud backup (if you sign in): stored in our database provider, Supabase (United States). Access is protected by row-level security locked to the verified email on the record, so no other user can read or restore your backup. The public app key cannot read or write backups.
- In transit: all network traffic uses TLS encryption.
- Authentication: email one-time codes (OTP). No passwords are stored.
- AI keys: our AI provider key is held server-side only and never ships in the app.
Shared Homes
If you use Home Share, the people you invite to a shared home can see and update the shared home profile, schedule state, logbook history, expenses, and system events for that home. Clippings remain device-local for now and are not copied into the shared home record. You can leave a shared home from the App; when you leave, your local solo home can be restored as described in the App.
Data Retention and Deletion
- Local data stays on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App.
- You can delete everything in-app: Settings → Privacy & data → "Delete my account & data." This removes your local data and, if you're signed in, your cloud backup and your account on our servers.
- You may also email support@eaverly.app to request deletion; we will process it within 30 days.
- Aggregate, non-identifying analytics may be retained to understand long-term trends.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help operate the App, and only as needed:
- Supabase — database, authentication, and serverless functions.
- Anthropic — AI processing for the optional AI features.
- Amplitude — aggregate product analytics (optional).
- U.S. National Weather Service (weather.gov) — receives approximate coordinates to return your local forecast when weather alerts are enabled.
- Apple / Google — app distribution. For optional subscriptions, Apple processes the payment as the merchant of record — we never see or store your card or bank details.
- RevenueCat — subscription management for optional subscriptions: validates App Store purchase receipts and tracks subscription status. It receives an app-scoped user identifier and receipt data, never payment card details.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a merger or acquisition (you'll be notified).
Your Choices
- Use the App fully without an account.
- Turn cloud backup on or off at any time (sign in / sign out).
- Decline or reset AI consent in Settings → Privacy & data.
- Manage notifications in your device settings.
- Unsubscribe from emails via the link in any message.
Our Website (eaverly.app)
This website uses Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) for anonymous usage statistics, which may set analytics cookies in your browser. If you join the waitlist, your email (and optional name/city) is stored in our database and with our email provider, Kit (Kit Inc., formerly ConvertKit), to send you updates you can unsubscribe from. This section applies to the website only — the App does not use Google Analytics or cookies.
Children's Privacy
The App is intended for adult homeowners and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
California (CCPA) and EEA/UK (GDPR)
We do not sell personal information. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact support@eaverly.app. For EEA/UK users, our legal bases are consent (optional features), performance of a contract (providing the service you requested), legitimate interests (improving and securing the App), and legal obligation.
International Transfers
If you use the App outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy. We'll post the new version in the App, update the date above, and for material changes provide additional notice.
