Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This policy explains what personal information MyFam collects, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. It is written to meet Apple App Store and Google Play requirements that apps provide a clear, publicly accessible privacy policy covering user and device data practices.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Winsanity Studios(“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you use the MyFam mobile application (the “App”) on iOS and Android, and related services, including our website at myfam-app.com (together, the “Services”).
MyFam is a daily check in safety app. You schedule check ins so people you trust know you are okay. If you miss a check in window (including any grace period), we can notify the emergency contacts you add.
By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
2. Information we collect
We collect information in the following categories.
2.1 Account and identity information
When you register or sign in, we may collect:
- Name or display name
- Email address
- Password (for email or password accounts). Passwords are stored only as a one way hash; we do not store your password in plain text
- Social sign in identifiers and basic profile details (such as name and email) if you sign in with Google, Apple, or another supported sign in provider
- Optional phone number and profile photo, if you provide them
- Email verification and password reset codes we generate
2.2 Check in schedule and activity
- Your check in schedule (for example preferred check in time, frequency, grace period, and reminder preferences)
- Check in records (timestamps, day keys, checked in or missed status, and related response timing)
- Alert status related to missed check ins (for example whether a warning or critical alert was already sent for a given day)
2.3 Emergency contacts you add
You may add emergency contacts manually in the App. We store the information you enter, which may include:
- Name
- Email address (required for alerts)
- Phone number (optional)
- Relationship and notes
We do not access your device address book unless you choose to enter contact details yourself. When you add a contact, we may email that person to let them know they were added as your emergency contact.
2.4 Gamification and in app progress
To power streaks, levels, quests, and trophies, we store progress data tied to your account, such as XP, level, streak counts, total check ins, quest progress, and trophies earned.
2.5 Device and notification information
- Permission to show local check in reminders on your device (handled by the operating system on iOS and Android)
- Push notification device tokens, platform, and optional device name if your device is registered for remote notifications
- Authentication tokens stored securely on your device so you can stay signed in
2.6 Technical and usage information
Our servers may automatically process limited technical information needed to operate and secure the Services, such as IP address, request timestamps, app or API error logs, and similar diagnostics. We do not currently use third party analytics or advertising SDKs in the App.
2.7 Information we do not collect by default
The App is not designed to continuously track your GPS location, read SMS or call logs, or scrape your device contacts. Check ins are user initiated actions within the App.
3. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Create and manage your account and authenticate you
- Provide the core MyFam service: schedules, check ins, streaks, quests, trophies, and related in app features
- Send or schedule reminders so you can check in on time
- Notify your emergency contacts by email if you miss a check in window (including warning and critical alerts)
- Send service emails such as email verification, password reset, and emergency contact invitations
- Respond to support requests and improve reliability and safety
- Protect against abuse, fraud, and unauthorized access, and comply with legal obligations
5. App permissions
Depending on your device and settings, MyFam may request permission to:
- Notifications to show local check in reminders and (where enabled) remote notifications
- Photos / media (optional) only if you choose to upload a profile photo
You can deny or later revoke permissions in your device settings. Some features (for example reminders) may not work without the related permission.
6. Data retention
We retain account, check in, contact, and gamification data for as long as your account remains active and as needed to provide the Services. We may keep limited records after account closure where required for security, dispute resolution, backups, or legal compliance, and then delete or anonymize them when no longer needed.
Password reset and email verification codes are temporary and expire after a short period.
7. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including hashed passwords, authenticated API access with tokens, and secure on device storage for session tokens. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for the devices you use to access MyFam.
8. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete your account and associated personal data
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Object to or restrict certain processing
You can update much of your profile, schedule, and emergency contact information directly in the App. To request account deletion or other privacy rights, email us at support@myfam-app.com from the email address associated with your account. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
You can also stop receiving MyFam alerts as an emergency contact by asking the MyFam user who added you to remove you, or by contacting us at support@myfam-app.com.
9. Children's privacy
MyFam is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact support@myfam-app.com and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
10. International users
We may process and store information on servers located in countries other than where you live. Those countries may have different data protection laws. By using the Services, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in such locations as needed to operate MyFam.
11. Third party services and links
If you use Google Sign In, Sign in with Apple, or follow links to third party sites or app stores, those services are governed by their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for third party practices.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised policy. For material changes, we may provide additional notice in the App or by email where appropriate.
