Oakie Home Inventory & Resell

1. Information We Collect

Account

Your email address and password. Sign-in is handled by Google Firebase Authentication; we never see or store your password in readable form.

Your stash

The items you record: name, brand, category, condition, purchase price and date, warranty date, notes, parts checklist, where each item, its box and its parts are stored, crates, asking price, listing text, sale status, and items in Trash. This is stored in your account so it stays in sync across your devices.

Photos

Only photos you take or choose — for example a photo of an item, a box, a shelf, a stray part or an order receipt — and images you share into Oakie from other apps. Photos you add to an item are stored in your account as a compressed copy with a small thumbnail. Oakie does not browse your photo library.

Voice

When you tap the microphone, your device's speech recognition service (provided by Apple or Google under their own terms) turns your speech into text. Oakie receives only the text; we do not record or store audio.

Children's profiles (optional)

To flag toys your children have outgrown, you can add a child's name or nickname and date of birth. These details are stored only on your device. They are not uploaded to our servers, not sent to any AI service, and do not move to a new device. Uninstalling the app removes them.

Purchases and AI energy

Subscriptions and energy packs are paid through Apple or Google — we never receive your card details. We receive your plan, purchase and renewal status through RevenueCat, linked to your account ID, and we keep your AI energy balance with a record of energy used and added.

Passing-on circle (optional)

If you add someone to your circle, we store the nickname you give them and the email address they signed up with. When you invite someone, they see your name and email address so they can accept.

On your device

Preferences such as language, currency and layout are stored on your device. Some of your data is also cached on your device so search and offline use work.

2. Information We Never Collect

• No location: no GPS, Wi-Fi or cellular location data.
• No contacts, messages or call logs.
• No advertising identifiers and no ads: Oakie shows no ads on any plan.
• No analytics or tracking tools: we do not track your activity across other apps or websites.

3. How AI Features Use Your Data

AI features are optional — everything in Oakie can be entered by hand. When you use one, the request goes to our server (Cloud Functions for Firebase), which sends the content that request needs to the Google Gemini API and returns the result:

We do not use your content to train AI models. Content sent to Google is processed under Google's terms and Privacy Policy.

4. How We Use Your Information

• To run the app and keep your stash in sync across your devices.
• To provide the AI features you ask for.
• To unlock paid plans, apply AI energy limits and prevent abuse.
• To show reminders you allow — for example a warranty ending, items sitting unused, or toys your children have outgrown. Reminders are scheduled locally on your device.
• To answer support requests and to meet legal obligations.

Where laws such as the EU/UK GDPR apply, we process your data to provide the service you asked for, for our legitimate interests in keeping the app secure and preventing fraud, and with your consent for optional device permissions such as camera, microphone and notifications.

5. Sharing

We share your information only in these cases:

• People in your circle. They see only the items you choose to pass on to them, as a separate listing that contains the item's name, brand, category, a photo, your asking price, its condition, whether the box is included, how many parts are missing, the first line of your listing text, and your display name. They never see where things are stored, what you paid, your notes, your crates, or anything you haven't passed on. When you stop passing an item on, or remove someone from your circle, their access ends immediately.
• Apps you choose to share with. When you use Share, the image or text goes to the app you pick in your device's share sheet.
• Service providers that run the app for us: Google (Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions and the Gemini API), RevenueCat (purchase management), and Apple and Google (app stores, payments and speech recognition).
• Our other apps, inside your own account. Oakie uses the same account as our other Buddy apps. If you use them, marking an item as sold records the income in the Moni app, and storage places you named in the Teta app appear as suggestions in Oakie. None of this reaches another person's account.
• Legal reasons — when required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the public.

We do not sell, rent or trade your information.

6. Storage and Security

Your data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore and protected by security rules that allow access only to you — and, for listings you pass on, to the people you chose. Data is encrypted in transit. Our service providers may process data on servers outside your country, including in the United States.

7. Retention

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. Items you delete go to Trash in the app, where you can restore them or delete them for good. When you delete your account, we delete your account and the content in it — your items, photos, crates, Trash and the listings you passed on — and any remaining backup copies are purged within 90 days. The record of your purchases and AI energy transactions that we hold (amounts, dates and your account ID, with none of your stash content) is deleted along with your account. Apple, Google and RevenueCat keep their own purchase records under their policies.

8. Your Choices and Rights

• View and edit everything you have saved, directly in the app.
• Delete your account in the app: open Settings (⚙️) and tap Delete account. This permanently deletes your account and its data — including data in our other Buddy apps that use the same account — and cannot be undone.
• Without the app: ask us to delete your account, or to send you a copy of your data, at contact@kaisoft.net. We respond within 30 days. See how to request deletion.
• Permissions: camera, photos, microphone and notifications can be turned off at any time in your device settings; everything else keeps working.

Depending on where you live — for example under Thailand's PDPA, the EU/UK GDPR or California privacy law — you may have additional rights, such as to access, correct, delete or port your data, or to object to how it is processed. Contact us to use them. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

9. Children's Privacy

Oakie is designed for adults, such as parents organizing their household's things. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Children's profiles described above are entered by a parent and stay on that parent's device. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and let you know in the app.
