Privacy Policy

Your family's slate belongs to your family. We show your family's information only to the people you invite into your family, we never sell it or use it for advertising, and you can export or delete it at any time. This page explains how that works in plain language.

FamilySlate Calendar stores what your family puts on the slate: events, custody and exchange-day patterns, approvals, notes, and the permission settings you choose for each person. WholeHome FamilySlate stores what you add for your own household: scanned pantry items, receipts, and recipes, meal plans, chores, and renewal reminders.

We also store the basics each account needs to work: a name, an email address, and your sign-in credentials. Passwords are stored only in protected form — we never see them.

Only the accounts you invite. Every person's view — a grandparent's view-only access, a child's limited view, a co-parent's full say — is enforced on our servers, not just hidden in the app, so no one sees more than you have allowed.

Being on someone's FamilySlate Calendar never grants access to their WholeHome account. The two apps keep separate accounts and separate information unless you deliberately connect them.

If your co-parent is the one who set FamilySlate up, here is what that means for you — and what it doesn't. You always use your own account with your own sign-in. Nobody can read as you, change your settings, or add your name to a new slate without you knowing, because every invitation arrives as its own, visible approval.

Being on their calendar gives you no access to their WholeHome account — their pantry, receipts, and household lists stay theirs — and the same is true in reverse. What each person can see is set deliberately and enforced on our servers, so the arrangement you agreed to is the arrangement you get. No one at FamilySlate, and no other family, can look in.

And the door is never locked from your side: you can see who else has access to the slate, remove a guest in one tap where the permissions allow, and export or delete your own information at any time. FamilySlate is built to make cooperation comfortable for both homes — not to give anyone a window into the other's life.

Your family's information is stored in a secure, access-controlled cloud database, kept separate from every other family's, so the whole household sees the same up-to-date slate from any device — and a lost or broken phone never takes the family's schedule with it. Information travels between your device and our servers over protected connections.

Nothing about your household is public, and no one at FamilySlate browses your family's slate. That protection isn't a promise we keep by choice — it's built into how the systems themselves work. The people who built FamilySlate have no window into your fridge, your pantry, or your plans, and there is no back door for anyone, including us. We look at family information only when you ask us for help, and only as much as needed to help.

We never sell your family's information. We never use it for advertising, and we never share it with third parties for their own marketing. There are no ad trackers inside FamilySlate.

You can export your family's information at any time, and you can delete it — remove a single event, remove a guest's access in one tap, or delete your family's account and everything in it. When you delete information, it is removed from our systems.

If a child's information has been added to a family slate, a parent or guardian can remove it or ask us to remove it at any time using the contact below.

If we change how we handle family information, we will update this page and tell you in the apps before the change takes effect. We will never reduce your privacy protections without asking first.
