Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 8, 2026
Your Privacy Matters
Tended is a private family care coordination app. We take the privacy of your family's health and care data seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
What We Collect
- Account information: Your name and email address when you sign in with Apple or Google.
- Care data: Medications, appointments, care notes, tasks, and vault documents you and your care circle members create within the app.
- Photos and documents: Images and files you upload (medication photos, document scans) are stored securely in Firebase Storage.
How We Use Your Data
- To provide and maintain the Tended app and its features.
- To sync your care data across your care circle members in real time.
- To send you medication reminders and appointment notifications you've configured.
We do not sell your data. We do not show ads. We do not share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Data Storage
Your data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore and Firebase Storage, both operated by Google. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is scoped to your care circle — only members you invite can see your data.
Data Sharing Within Your Circle
When you create or join a care circle, all members of that circle can view and edit shared care data (medications, appointments, notes, tasks). Vault data (medical records, legal documents, financial information) is visible to all circle members. You control who is in your circle by managing invites.
Your Rights
- Access: You can view all your data within the app at any time.
- Export: You can export medical summaries as PDF from the app.
- Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data by contacting us. Circle owners can delete their entire circle's data.
- Portability: Your care data is yours. Contact us to request a full export.
Children's Privacy
Tended is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes through the app or by email.
