Information you provide

We process your name, email address, account identifiers, password hash or connected sign-in identity, and your settings. We also process what you choose to share: messages, photos, voice notes, files, tasks, event dates, expenses, notes, family relationships, care entries and other shared records. Financial entries are records you enter; the app does not connect to bank accounts or transfer money.

Optional device information

Camera, photo, microphone and foreground location access is requested when you use the corresponding feature. You can refuse or revoke permission in device settings. Location sharing is optional, can be stopped, and lasts for a limited period. We process notification tokens and session identifiers to deliver alerts to the right signed-in device.

How information is used

We use this information to run your account and spaces, store and show shared records, send requested reminders, protect access, prevent abuse, respond to reports and requests, and diagnose service failures. We do not sell your personal information or use your private content for targeted advertising. Generative AI features are disabled for this release.

Who can see shared content

Current members can see the content shared in their space. Every space has separate membership; a family-tree entry does not grant access. Authorized service personnel may access information where needed to support the service, investigate a report, enforce the rules or meet a legal obligation. Messages and files are not end-to-end encrypted. HTTPS protects the connection, and access checks protect the service.

Service providers

Google Cloud and Firebase provide hosting, database, file storage, authentication, security checks and Android/web notifications. Expo and Apple support iOS notification delivery where enabled. These providers process the information needed for those functions, including device tokens and account or service identifiers. Data is hosted in Singapore where configured; authentication, notification and provider operations can involve processing in other countries.

Lovable hosts the Sideyard website at realtone.ai. When you open the website, Lovable and its hosting providers receive ordinary request information, such as your IP address, browser details, requested page and time of access, to deliver and protect the website. Sideyard's account and shared-content services continue to use Google Cloud and Firebase.

Places and maps

When you add a place, the service sends the place name or search text you enter to Photon, operated by Komoot, and may try OpenStreetMap Nominatim if no result is found. The resulting place name, address and coordinates are saved in your space. Do not include private information in a place search. Maps load tiles directly from OpenStreetMap; that provider receives the requested map area, your IP address and ordinary request information. These map services operate even though generative AI features are disabled.

Remote images and web resources

Decorative artwork is included with the app. When a Google profile photo is displayed, it loads from Google, which receives your IP address and ordinary request information. Unsupported profile-photo links display initials instead. The web notification component loads Firebase software from Google. An Expo Go preview can also load icon fonts from jsDelivr; this fallback is not used by the standalone app builds. Opening a link you choose takes you to that website, whose privacy practices apply.

Photo safety checks

When photo safety screening is enabled, Google Cloud Vision checks the uploaded photo for explicit or violent imagery before it is shared. These automated checks can make mistakes. Rejected photos are not added to your space; contact support if you think a photo was incorrectly blocked. The check does not identify people or read text from the image.

Saved and disappearing photos

Saved photos remain until you delete them or the relevant account or space cleanup removes them. In a two-person space, a disappearing photo becomes unavailable after the recipient opens it or after 24 hours. In a group, it becomes unavailable after 24 hours. Expiry checks apply when the app serves the photo; physical deletion is retried by scheduled cleanup. Disappearing uploads use storage without soft-delete recovery or object versioning. Recipients can still take screenshots or keep copies outside the app.

Retention and backups

We retain active account and shared records while they are needed to provide the service, until you or an authorized member deletes them, or until an applicable expiry. Database recovery history, daily backups and recovery copies of saved files are retained for up to seven days after removal from active storage. Notification jobs expire within two days, or sooner for expiring content. Completed deletion receipts remain for 30 days; failed deletion jobs remain pending until cleanup can finish. Security and service logs are retained under the configured cloud logging policy. Safety reports are retained for up to 90 days. Photo-check support references contain no image or user identifier and expire after 30 days. Blocks remain until you unblock the person or delete your account. Provider records have separate timelines. Firebase Authentication may retain logged IP addresses for several weeks and authentication information for up to 180 days after the provider receives a deletion request. Firebase Hosting may retain request IP data for several months. Notification-provider records follow separate retention schedules. Website hosting providers retain operational records under their own retention policies; deleting your Sideyard account does not necessarily remove those records immediately.

Deleting your account

In Settings, choose Delete account and verify your sign-in. Transfer ownership first if you are the only owner of a space with other members. Deletion disables your access and processes removal of your account, memberships, connected sign-in identities, records you created and associated uploads. Earlier edits within someone else's record may remain where the app has no edit history. Copies others made outside the app cannot be recalled. A short delay allows ongoing requests to finish, and interrupted cleanup is retried. Visit the account deletion page for a request option without the app.

Your choices and requests

You can edit your profile, remove shared records where permitted, mute spaces, control notifications, stop location sharing and leave spaces. Contact us to request access to or correction or deletion of your personal data, or to raise a privacy concern. We may ask for proportionate proof of account ownership. Depending on your location, you may also have rights to object, restrict processing, withdraw consent or contact your local data protection authority.

Information about other people

Accounts in this release are for adults aged 18 or older. Share information about relatives and other people only when you are entitled to do so. Take extra care with children's information, health details and identity documents. Tell us if you believe information has been shared without appropriate permission.

Changes

We will update this page when our practices change. Material changes that affect your choices will also be explained in the app before they take effect. Last updated: 8 September 2026.
