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:

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:

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.

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:

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.
