Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 13, 2026

Roometer is a mobile app that helps roommates share a home — splitting chores, tracking shared bills, keeping a shared fridge organized, voting on house decisions, and chatting. This policy explains what information Roometer collects, how it's used and protected, and the choices you have, including deleting your account.

Who this policy covers

This policy applies to the Roometer mobile app and to roometer.app. Roometer is operated by Said Belwahed, operating as Roometer ("Roometer," "we," "us," or "our").

Information we collect

Roometer collects only what it needs to run the features you actually use:

• Account information. Your email address, which you use to sign in — Roometer signs you in with a one-time code sent to your email; there's no password to remember or store. We don't collect your phone number, and there's no social sign-in.
• Profile information. The display name you choose, and a color assigned to represent you in the app. Both are visible to the other members of your house.
• House and activity content. The chores, bills, fridge items, votes, and chat messages you and your roommates create — visible to the members of your shared house, not to the public or to other Roometer users outside your house.
• Photos. If you choose to add a photo to a fridge item, Roometer asks for camera or photo library access at that moment, only for that purpose. Photos are resized and compressed on your device before upload, stored privately, and only visible to your house. You can remove this permission at any time in your device settings, although features that need camera or photo access will stop working.
• Bill and expense information. Amounts, who paid, and how a bill is split between roommates. Roometer records these shared expenses but does not process payments, move money, or connect to your bank or card. Settling up happens between you and your roommates, outside the app.
• Device information. Roometer doesn't currently send push notifications. If we add them in the future, we'll update this policy first to describe what's used.

We don't collect your precise location or your contacts. Roometer has no analytics or advertising tracking of any kind, and we don't build advertising profiles.

How we use your information

We use the information above only to operate Roometer's actual features:

• To create and secure your account, and sign you in.
• To show you and your roommates your house's shared chores, bills, fridge contents, votes, and chat.
• To keep the app secure and prevent abuse (for example, limiting repeated invite-code attempts).

We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with advertisers.

Who can see your information

Roometer is built around a single shared house. The members of your current house can see your name, your chosen color, and the chores, bills, fridge activity, votes, and chat messages associated with your house. People outside your house — including other Roometer users in different houses — cannot see your house's information.

We use Supabase to host Roometer's database, manage sign-in, and store photos. We don't sell your information, and we don't share it with advertisers or other third parties for marketing purposes. We require Supabase to protect Roometer data under its data-processing agreement with us. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights or safety of Roometer or our users, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of the business — in which case we'd let you know.

How long we keep your information

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. When account deletion completes, your personal profile and sign-in information are removed; some information shared with your former house (like bill history) stays on record so their history stays accurate, as described below. Backups of deleted data may remain for a short period afterward before being permanently removed.

Deleting your account

You can permanently delete your Roometer account at any time from Profile ▸ Delete account inside the app. Our account deletion page explains the steps, but deletion itself always happens in the app, not on this website. Deleting your account is real and permanent, not a soft "deactivation":

• Your personal profile information is removed, and your name is replaced with "Former roommate" everywhere it appeared in your house's shared history.
• Information that's shared with your former roommates — like bill history, chore records, and past chat messages — stays with your house so their own records stay accurate and complete. Your account identifier and display name are removed, but shared content you wrote or uploaded may remain in that history.
• Your sign-in credentials are permanently deleted from our authentication system.
• If you're currently part of a house, you'll be asked to move out first — settle up and hand off your chores — before you can delete your account.

Your rights and choices

You can access, correct, or delete your information at any time through the app, as described above. If you have a question or request about your information that isn't covered here, contact us at support@roometer.app and we'll do our best to help.

Children's privacy

Roometer is intended for people 18 and older. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll remove it.

Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections between the app and our servers, and database-level access rules that ensure a person can only see the information their own house is entitled to see. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information appropriately.

International use

Roometer is intended to be available worldwide. Because of this, your information may be processed and stored in a country other than your own, including wherever our service providers operate.

Governing law

This policy is governed by the laws of Morocco. This does not remove any privacy or consumer rights that the law in your country requires us to provide.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we'll update the date above and, where required, let you know through the app.
