1. Introduction
We take the protection of your data and your family's data seriously. This privacy policy explains what personal data we process when you use Famunio (https://famunio.com), for what purposes, and on what legal basis.
Swiss data protection law (revFADP) and, where applicable, the EU GDPR apply.

3. Data we process
Account data: name, email address, password (hashed), language, family role, sign-in information (session, optional WebAuthn/passkeys).
Family and person data: names, dates of birth, school system/region, timetable, calendar, tests, grades, board posts (tasks, lists, polls/decisions, wishlists, ideas, reminders, comments and attachment metadata), recipes (title, ingredients, instructions, servings, image and source URLs, categories), friends, hobbies – depending on how you use the app.
Child accounts: accounts created by parents with restricted permissions.
Payment data: processed via Stripe; we do not store full card details, only references (customer ID, subscription status) with Stripe.
Technical data: IP address, browser/device information, timestamps, server access logs.
Family cloud (optional): If the family owner connects Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive or Infomaniak kDrive, we store encrypted access tokens, the selected folder (id/name), and attachment metadata (filename, MIME type, size, provider file id). File contents remain in your cloud account and are not stored permanently on Famunio servers.
4. Purposes and legal bases
Providing the service, registration, login and family management (contract performance / pre-contractual steps).
Subscription management and payments via Stripe (contract performance).
Security, abuse prevention, error analysis and infrastructure operations (legitimate interest).
Optional Google OAuth sign-in (consent or contract performance, depending on context).
Optional family cloud folder (Google Drive, OneDrive or Infomaniak kDrive) so attachments in board discussions can be stored in your own cloud and shown to family members via Famunio (consent / contract performance).
Importing recipes from an external URL you provide: our server fetches the page to extract recipe information (typical server-side request including server IP).
Database backups for recovery after outages (legitimate interest in data security).
5. Family cloud (Google Drive / OneDrive / kDrive)
The family owner may optionally connect a cloud folder. Famunio creates an app folder (e.g. «Famunio») or uses the selected folder and stores attachments (images, PDFs) and preview thumbnails there where applicable.
Google Drive: We use the limited scope «drive.file» (only files and folders Famunio creates or that you explicitly grant to the app) plus email for account labelling. Famunio does not access your entire Drive.
Microsoft OneDrive: comparable access via Microsoft Graph to the selected folder.
Infomaniak kDrive: connection via an API token you create (scopes «drive» and «user_info»). The token is stored encrypted; files are hosted by Infomaniak (Switzerland).
Family members access files only through their signed-in Famunio session; the owner's cloud account is used server-side with the stored token. You can disconnect anytime in settings and revoke access in your Google, Microsoft or Infomaniak account.
Storage, quotas and backups of media files remain the responsibility of the family or the cloud provider.
6. Processors and third parties
Netcup (Germany): hosting of the application and PostgreSQL database on a VPS.
Stripe (Ireland/USA): payment processing and customer portal for subscriptions. Privacy: stripe.com/privacy
Google (USA/EU): optional for OAuth sign-in (Google account) and – when connected – Google Drive for the family cloud folder (attachments). The operator also stores encrypted database backups on Google Drive (disaster recovery). Privacy: policies.google.com/privacy
Microsoft (OneDrive/Graph): optional for the family cloud folder. Privacy: privacy.microsoft.com
Infomaniak (Switzerland): optional kDrive for the family cloud folder. Privacy: infomaniak.com/gtc/data-protection
For recipe import from an external URL, our server fetches the page you provide (typical fetch including server IP).
Umami (self-hosted analytics): cookieless usage statistics (page views, referrer, device/country) when analytics is enabled. For signed-in use, the session may be linked via an internal user ID (UUID, no name/email) for product analytics, without an advertising profile.
Let's Encrypt: issuance of TLS certificates.
7. International transfers
Using Stripe, Google, Microsoft and possibly other services may involve transfers outside Switzerland/the EEA. These providers use Standard Contractual Clauses or comparable safeguards where required. Infomaniak stores kDrive data in Switzerland.
8. Retention
Account and family data: while the account or family is active; after deletion, data are removed within a reasonable period unless legal retention duties apply.
Cloud tokens and attachment metadata: until the cloud connection is removed or attachments/comments are deleted; files in your cloud remain there until you delete them.
Database backups are retained for a maximum of 30 days.
Server logs: limited duration as operationally required.
Stripe billing data: according to legal and tax requirements via Stripe.
10. Children
Famunio is aimed at families. Child accounts are created and managed exclusively by authorised adults (parents/owners). Parents are responsible for ensuring that children's use complies with applicable rules and that only appropriate data are collected.
11. Your rights
Under applicable law you have in particular the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection to certain processing.
Account and family data can be deleted in settings where the app provides this. The cloud connection can be disconnected; you manage files in Google Drive/OneDrive there yourself.
Requests: info@famunio.com
You may lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority (in Switzerland: Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, edoeb.admin.ch).
12. Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures (TLS, access controls, password hashing, role-based permissions, encrypted cloud tokens, backups). Absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
13. Changes
We may update this privacy policy. The current version is available on this page. For material changes we will inform you appropriately (e.g. in the app or by email).
