Privacy

Last updated November 11, 2026 · Version privacy-draft-v2

This is a plain-English summary. Our full privacy policy is being finalised and will be published here before Foon opens to everyone.

This website and the waitlist

  • This website has no ads, no tracking scripts, and sets no cookies.
  • If you join the waitlist, we keep your email address and, if you give it, your first name. The waitlist is for adults.
  • We use them to email you a link to confirm your spot (that email also tells you about the founding-family offer), and to tell you when Foon opens. That's all: the waitlist doesn't get founding-family updates or other news.
  • Until you confirm, your signup is pending, and we delete a pending signup 30 days after the last email we sent for it. After you confirm, we keep your email, and your name if you gave one, until you unsubscribe. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing deletes your email address and name right away.
  • To limit abuse, the form keeps a scrambled (hashed) version of your network address for up to 2 days. It can't be turned back into the address.
  • We send these emails through a mail service, Resend, and store the list with our database host, Supabase. We don't sell or share the list.
  • The consent pages are where a parent agrees to, says no to, or withdraws consent for their kid, from the link in our email. They send the link's code to Foon and nothing else, and set no cookies.

What the Foon app keeps

  • Your household's name and emoji, first names, avatars, and who is a kid, a parent, or a planner.
  • Allergies a parent adds, and each person's usual schedule.
  • Your meals and meal photos, plans, lists, ideas, votes on dinner, ratings, comments, serving notes, and who cooked.
  • Your household's time zone, so Foon knows when last night's dinner was.
  • Your Apple sign-in: an account ID, an email (which can be Apple's private relay address), and your first name if Apple shares it.
  • Which reminders each person's device sent and whether they answered: the kind, the night, and the time, never the words.
  • If your household subscribes, Apple's subscription status for it. Apple holds your payment details; Foon never sees them.
  • When someone finishes a shopping trip with something bought, that your household finished one and when, never what was bought, where, or by whom. Foon counts trips across many families to see how it's used, and deletes each record after 13 months.
  • Foon doesn't ask for birthdays, phone numbers, or your location.

Email from Foon

  • Foon emails adults only, never kids. Emails about your account go to the email Apple gives for your account (which can be Apple's private relay address). Our email provider, Resend, sends them.
  • About your account: a welcome when you create a household; if you own it, notices when its subscription starts, renews, changes plan, can't be charged, has renewal turned off or on, is refunded, or ends; and a receipt when you delete your account or household.
  • Only if you turn them on, in the app under Family, then Email: the weekly plan email (the week's dinners when it's approved, never allergies or who's home) and founding-family updates (news and offers about Foon, now and then). Both start off. Foon records that you agreed, when, and to which wording, and only you see your choice. Your setting goes with your account; the record that you agreed is kept as proof. Turn either off in the app, or with the unsubscribe link in each email.
  • If you email an invite to another adult, Foon uses the address you type only to send that one invite. Foon doesn't keep it; Resend keeps its own record of the send, as for every email.
  • Foon keeps no copy of these emails. A record that one was queued or sent (its kind and date, never your address) is deleted after 30 days. Resend keeps its own record of each email it sends.

What stays on your device

  • If a planner turns on busy-evening suggestions, Foon reads the times of calendar events on that device. It never saves or sends them.
  • Receipt photos are read on the device and never kept or uploaded.
  • Dinner-memory photos from your library are shown on the device. Foon never saves or uploads them.

Allergies and AI

Foon uses Apple's on-device model for its optional AI helpers. Allergies are never sent anywhere for AI, and the app has no ads and no tracking.

Who sees what

Everyone in your household sees the family, allergies, schedules, the plan, lists, ideas, votes, ratings, and who cooked. Other households can't see any of it.

Changing your mind

  • Parents can change or remove someone's allergies on their profile, and an adult can add and remove their own.
  • Parents can delete everything about a kid on the kid's profile, sign-in account included, right away.
  • Deleting a household in the app removes it from Foon for everyone, right away.
  • Plan activity, votes on dinner, and the reminder log are deleted after eight weeks.
  • Turn the weekly plan email or founding-family updates off in the app, under Family, then Email, or with the link in any of them.
  • To leave the waitlist, use the link in any waitlist email, or write to support@getfoon.com.

How long a hosted backup keeps deleted data is part of the full policy we are finalising. Questions: support@getfoon.com.
