Privacy Policy for Hestia Home Ledger
Effective Date: May 31, 2026
1. Introduction
Hestia Home Ledger ("Hestia," "we," "us," or "the App") is a local-first home maintenance application designed to help users organize maintenance tasks, reminders, notes, and property records.
We are committed to minimizing data collection and maximizing user control. This Privacy Policy explains what information is stored by the App and how it is handled.
2. Information Stored by the App
Hestia stores information that users intentionally create while using the application.
This may include:
Property profiles
Home characteristics and system selections
Maintenance task completion records
Custom reminders
Notes entered by users
Seasonal arrival and departure records
Notification preferences
Application settings
This information is stored locally on the user's device and is used solely to provide application functionality.
3. Local-First Architecture
Hestia is designed around a local-first model.
All maintenance records, reminders, notes, and property information are stored on the device where the application is installed.
Hestia does not require:
User accounts
User registration
Cloud synchronization
Remote servers for core functionality
The App functions without transmitting user-created maintenance records to external systems.
4. Notifications
Hestia uses local device notifications to remind users about maintenance activities.
Notification schedules are generated from information stored on the device and are managed locally.
Notification data is not transmitted to external services.
5. Data Collection
Hestia does not collect:
Personal identifying information
Names
Email addresses
Phone numbers
Financial information
Location history
Contacts
Messages
Browsing activity
The App does not create user profiles or maintain user accounts.
6. Data Sharing
Hestia does not sell, rent, trade, or share user-created maintenance records or personal information with third parties.
We do not provide user data to:
Advertisers
Data brokers
Marketing companies
Analytics providers
User data remains under the control of the device owner.
7. Permissions
Depending on platform and version, Hestia may request limited permissions required for application functionality.
Notifications
Used to deliver scheduled maintenance reminders.
Camera (Future Versions)
Future versions may allow users to attach photographs to maintenance records and seasonal checklists.
If implemented, photographs will be stored locally on the user's device unless future synchronization features are explicitly introduced.
No camera access occurs without user action.
Advertisements (Future Versions)
Partnering with AdMob and other advertising partners will remain as data-limited as possible. Our philosophy is no data collection or sharing, any ads will be general blocks that all users see.
8. Third-Party Services
The current version of Hestia does not require third-party cloud services for core functionality.
If future versions introduce optional services such as advertising, synchronization, or backup functionality, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
9. Data Retention
Information entered into Hestia remains on the user's device until:
The user deletes the information
The user uninstalls the application
The device owner removes the application's data
Users control the lifecycle of their records.
10. Children's Privacy
Hestia is not directed toward children under the age of 13.
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Regulatory Compliance
Hestia is designed with privacy-by-design principles and a local-first architecture.
Because user information remains on the device and is not transmitted to us, we generally do not receive, process, or store personal data on our systems.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the application evolves.
Any future introduction of cloud synchronization, online services, advertising systems, or account-based features will be reflected in an updated policy.
The Effective Date at the top of this document will indicate the most recent revision.
