Chore Check — Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2, 2026
Chore Check is a parental-control app. A parent sets up chores and takes example
("answer-key") photos; the child then takes a photo or short video to prove a chore
is done, and the app decides whether it matches. This policy explains what information
the app handles and where it goes. It is written to be read by parents.
Who we are
Chore Check is made by Jet. If you have any questions about this policy or
your data, contact us at worldofgal@gmail.com.
Information the app handles
- Chore photos and videos. The example photos a parent takes and the
photos/videos a child takes to prove a chore is done.
- Which apps are opened on the device (Android only). On Android the
app checks which app is in the foreground so it knows when to start a chore check (for
example, when a calling or messaging app opens). This information is used only on the
device and is never sent anywhere. The iPhone and iPad version does not do
this. Apple does not allow an app to see which other apps are in use, so on iOS
a chore check and any internet pause are started by the parent, not automatically.
- A parent PIN. Stored only as a scrambled (hashed) value on the
device — never as readable text and never sent anywhere.
- An optional recovery email address. A parent may choose to add an
email address so the parent PIN can be reset if it is forgotten. This is entirely
optional — the app works normally without it. The address is stored on the device. When
(and only when) a parent asks for a PIN reset, it is sent to our server together with a
6-digit code, and our server passes both to Resend,
the service that delivers the email. Our server does not save the address, and neither we
nor Resend use it for marketing. It is never sold or shared for any other purpose.
- App settings and counters. Which chores are on, timer lengths, and
how many times the "emergency" option was used. Stored only on the device.
How chore photos are checked
To judge whether a chore is done, the app sends the parent's example image(s) and the
child's image(s) to our own server, which passes them to Google's Gemini AI service for
analysis. The server receives back a short result (pass or fail, a score, and a friendly
message) and returns that to the app.
- Our server does not save these images — it processes each request in
memory and discards the images once the result is returned.
- The images are analysed by Google's Gemini service and are therefore also subject to
Google's Privacy Policy. We do not
control how Google processes data sent to its AI services.
- If the server cannot be reached, the app falls back to comparing the two images
directly on the device, and no image leaves the device in that case.
Where information is stored
The example photos, the most recent attempt, the hashed PIN, a short local log of results,
and all settings are stored in the app's private storage on the device itself. They are
not backed up to us. Uninstalling the app removes them from the device.
What we do not do
- We do not show ads. Chore Check contains no advertising software
of any kind and never requests an advertising identifier.
- We do not use analytics.
- We do not sell or rent anyone's information.
- The app does not require an account, name, or location. The only
personal detail it can hold is the optional PIN-recovery email described above, and only
if a parent chooses to add one.
- Even when the app blocks internet access, it never blocks or interferes with placing a
phone call, so a child can always call for help in an emergency.
Requesting data deletion
Chore Check does not keep any of your data on our servers — the example photos, the parent
PIN, and all settings live only in the app's private storage on your own device.
Uninstalling the app removes all of it immediately. If you'd like help with that, or have
any other question about your data, email
worldofgal@gmail.com and we'll respond promptly.
Payments
Chore Check is a paid subscription. Payment is handled entirely by Apple (App Store) or
Google (Google Play) — we never see, receive, or store card or billing details. All we
learn is whether a subscription is currently active.
Children's privacy
Chore Check is meant to be set up and controlled by a parent or guardian for use by their
own child. Setup actions — taking the example photos, setting the PIN, choosing chores —
are protected behind the parent PIN. The app does not knowingly collect personal details
such as a child's name, email, or location, and it does not use a child's images for any
purpose other than judging the chore in the moment. A parent or guardian can remove all of
the app's data at any time by uninstalling the app, and can contact us at
worldofgal@gmail.com with any request or question.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and post the new
version at this same address.
