HOGER is a home service ledger for homeowners and service
providers. This policy describes what we collect, why, and the
choices you have.
What we collect
- Account — your Google account's name, email
address, and profile photo, via Google Sign-In (Firebase
Authentication).
- Content you create — service records (titles,
descriptions, notes, amounts, dates), client and provider contact
details you enter, home entries, and photos you attach.
- Addresses — addresses you enter or pick from
Google Places suggestions, including coordinates, used for
display, distance filtering, and matching your records with the
other party at the same address.
- Ownership verification — if you choose to
verify home ownership: a document you upload (deed, tax statement,
or utility bill) or a code we mail to your address. Documents are
reviewed and then permanently deleted once a
decision is made — only the outcome is kept. Mailed codes are
stored only as a cryptographic hash.
- Provider credentials — license or insurance
details a provider submits for the Licensed badge, reviewed the
same way.
- Invites — when you invite a contact, the name
and (for homeowners) address you already saved for them is shared
with that person when they redeem your code.
- Notifications — device push tokens (Firebase
Cloud Messaging) and an in-app notification history you can clear
at any time.
- Usage and crash data — anonymous usage events
(Firebase Analytics) and crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics) to
improve the app.
How it's used
Solely to provide HOGER's features: storing and syncing your
ledger, connecting homeowners and providers who share an address or
contact, verifying ownership, sending reminders and notifications,
and improving stability. We do not sell your data or use it for
advertising.
What others can see
Your records stay yours. When your address matches the other
party's, HOGER shows only the minimum needed to connect you — a
provider's business name and the address on record, never your
name or phone number without your confirmation. Connecting always
requires your explicit "yes."
Where it lives
Data is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore and Cloud Storage)
under your account, protected by security rules restricting access
to you; cross-account features run through audited server functions.
Photos of service records stay on your device. Address autocomplete
is processed by Google's Places API under Google's own privacy
policy.
Your choices
- Notifications can be disabled in Settings (in-app and at the
Android channel level).
- Invites can be revoked before they're redeemed.
- Signing out stops syncing; deleting records removes them from
your account.
- Delete your account anytime from Settings →
Delete account — this permanently removes your account and all
associated data.
