Privacy Policy
Family Quote Board (“the App”) is a private, invite-only mobile application for recording and sharing memorable family quotes. This policy explains what we collect, why, and how you can request deletion. The App is operated by the Family Quote Board project at familyquoteboard.com.
Who the App is for
The App is intended for adults who manage a shared family board. Children may appear as “quoted people” (for example, with a name and optional birth month/year used to show age), but sign-in accounts are for invited adults or caregivers.
Information we collect
- Account information from Google Sign-In: email address, display name, and a Google account identifier used by Firebase Authentication.
- Membership data: your role on the family board (Viewer, Contributor, Manager, or Owner), invite status, and join timestamps.
- Family content you or other members add: quotes, quoted people’s names and optional birth month/year, colors, and related metadata.
- Invitations: invitee name, email, role, and expiry for email-bound invites.
- Technical data: standard Firebase / Google infrastructure logs needed to run authentication and the database securely. We do not use third-party advertising SDKs in the App.
How we use information
- To authenticate you and enforce invite-only access and roles.
- To sync family quotes and people across signed-in devices.
- To send or display invite links/codes so others can join your board.
- To respond to privacy or deletion requests.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not show ads in the App.
Where data is stored / processors
Account and board data are stored in Google Firebase (Authentication and Cloud Firestore) on behalf of the App. Google acts as a service provider / processor for hosting this data. Data is transmitted using encryption in transit (HTTPS / TLS).
Sharing
Content on a board is visible to other active members of that same family board according to their role. We do not share board content publicly. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the security of the App and its users.
Retention
We keep account and board data while your membership is active and the board remains in use. If you request deletion, we will delete or de-identify personal data associated with your account as described on the Delete my data page, subject to any limited records we must keep for security or legal reasons.
Your choices
- You can sign out in the App at any time.
- Owners/Managers can revoke invites and manage membership for their board.
- You can request access or deletion by emailing privacy@familyquoteboard.com or using the data deletion request page.
Children’s privacy
The App is not directed at children as end users. Quoted-person profiles may include information about minors that adult members choose to store. If you believe we have collected information inappropriately, contact us and we will investigate promptly.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Effective” date above will change when we do. Significant changes will be reflected on this page.
