Torchons & Serviettes

Privacy policy

Last updated: May 15, 2026

Torchons & Serviettes is designed to collect the bare minimum. No e-mail, no password, no phone number, no geolocation, no ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics.

This English version is a translation provided for convenience. In case of discrepancy, the French version prevails as the legally binding text.

1. Data controller

The data controller is Quentin BIZOUARD, a natural person publishing the Torchons & Serviettes app on an individual basis (France). Contact: contact@torchonsetserviettes.app.

2. Data collected, purposes and legal basis

Sign-up does not use a traditional account: no e-mail or password is requested. The data below is the only data processed, all of it required for the service to operate (legal basis: performance of the requested service / legitimate interest in the proper operation of the app).

DataSourcePurposeRetention
Pseudonym (display name) Entered by the user Identify members within a household As long as the account/household is active
Tasks, completions, votes, ratings Generated through use Manage and share household tasks, shared history As long as the account/household is active
Device identifier (technical UUID) Generated at install Authentication and offline sync As long as the account is active
Notification token (Firebase Cloud Messaging) Generated by the system Send task notifications / reminders Until uninstall or notifications are disabled
Recovery code (hashed) Generated when creating/joining a household Allow recovery of a household after phone loss Stored as an argon2id hash; never in clear

Not collected: e-mail, password, phone number, geolocation, photos, contacts, banking or payment data.

3. No tracking, no cookies

The app embeds no audience analytics tool, no third-party crash reporter, no advertising tracker. This website sets no cookies and loads no external resources (fonts, scripts, CDN).

Direct consequence of this choice: no bug is reported automatically. Fixing issues therefore relies on user reports — by e-mail to contact@torchonsetserviettes.app or via the public repository's issues (link added on opening). See the Contact page.

4. Recipients and processors

Data is not sold, rented or shared for advertising. It is processed by the strictly necessary technical processors:

ProcessorRoleLocation
ScalewayServer and database hostingFrance (European Union)
Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging)Push notification deliveryUnited States

The "Buy Me a Coffee" donation service is an external third-party service: if you choose to make a donation there, the transaction data is processed by that third party under its own policy, outside the app.

5. Transfers outside the European Union

Data hosting remains in France (Scaleway). The only transfer outside the EU concerns the delivery of push notifications via Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (United States). This transfer is governed by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. The content transmitted is limited to what's strictly necessary to display a notification.

6. Retention and deletion

You can delete your account directly from the app (Settings → Household security). Deletion triggers an immediate logical erasure, followed by a definitive purge of the associated data within 30 days. A household left completely inactive is archived after 90 days of inactivity, then purged after 365 days.

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability regarding your data.

You may also lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority CNIL (www.cnil.fr) if you believe the processing is not compliant.

8. Security

No password is stored (the app does not use one). The recovery code is kept only as an argon2id hash, never in clear. Communications between the app and the server are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS).

9. Minimum age

The app is intended for people aged 13 or older. It is not designed for children below this age and does not knowingly collect their data.

10. Changes

This policy may evolve (new feature, change of processor). In case of a material change, the "last updated" date at the top of the page is refreshed. Major changes may be flagged in the app.

11. Contact
