Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the Service
• Create and manage your account and your family's account
• Generate and optimize family schedules using AI algorithms (including hierarchical carpool rule parsing)
• Extract and organize carpool assignments from documents using AI vision and text processing
• Send invitations to family members and caretakers you designate
• Improve and personalize the Service
• Respond to your inquiries and provide support
• Monitor usage patterns to ensure performance and reliability
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your family's scheduling data for advertising purposes.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may delete all your family data at any time through the Settings page. Upon deletion, your data is permanently removed from our active databases. Backup copies may persist for a limited period in accordance with our platform provider's policies.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include:

• Encryption of data in transit (TLS/HTTPS)
• Row-level security ensuring each family can only access its own data
• Authentication required to access any family data

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

OptiMom is designed for use by parents and adult caretakers. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Information about children (such as their names and school schedules) is entered by parents and managed under the parent's account. If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, please contact us so we can delete it.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information. You can delete all family data directly from the Settings page in the app.
• Portability: Request a machine-readable copy of your data.
• Objection / Restriction: Object to or request restriction of certain processing activities.
• Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address below. We will respond within 30 days.

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your CCPA rights, please contact us.

If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, the legal bases for our processing of your personal data are:

• Contract: Processing necessary to provide the Service you signed up for.
• Legitimate interests: Improving the Service and ensuring security.
• Consent: For optional features where you have given explicit consent.
• Legal obligation: Where required by law.

You may have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

We use essential cookies and local storage to keep you logged in and remember your preferences (such as dismissed notifications). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., registration links you add to reminders). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

OptiMom offers premium features through paid subscription plans (Monthly and Annual). All recurring billing is processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor that OptiMom does not control. When you subscribe:

• Stripe handles your payment data: Your card number and other payment details are entered directly into Stripe's secure checkout and are never received, stored, or accessible by OptiMom.
• Recurring billing: Unless you cancel, your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period using the payment method on file with Stripe.
• Canceling: You may cancel at the end of your current billing period at any time from the Settings menu in the app; your premium access continues through the period you have already paid for.
• Refunds: Because OptiMom does not control Stripe's payment infrastructure, refund requests are subject to Stripe's and your card issuer's policies. We may, at our discretion and where permitted, assist you with a billing inquiry by contacting us.
• Stripe's terms govern: The relationship between you and Stripe is governed by Stripe's own terms of service and privacy policy. OptiMom is not a party to that relationship and has no control over Stripe's processing of your payment, account holds, chargebacks, or financial institution disputes.

By subscribing, you authorize Stripe (not OptiMom) to process recurring charges for your subscription.

By creating an account and using OptiMom, you agree to these straightforward terms of use:

• Your account: You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account. You must be at least 18 years old to create and manage a family account.
• Lawful and accurate use: You agree to provide accurate information and to use OptiMom only for its intended purpose — coordinating your family's schedule and activities. You may not use OptiMom for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.
• No abuse: You may not abuse, disrupt, or attempt to harm the Service. This includes, without limitation: attempting to access another family's data without authorization; reverse-engineering, scraping, or reselling the Service or its data; introducing viruses, malware, or excessive automated load; using the Service to harass others; or circumventing billing or premium-feature restrictions. Abuse may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account and, where appropriate, forfeiture of any paid period without refund.
• Acceptable content: You are solely responsible for the information you enter (names, addresses, notes, messages). You may not upload content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or that violates the rights of others. Family chat messages are visible to members of your family; be respectful.
• Intellectual property: OptiMom, its name, logo, and software are owned by us. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial family scheduling.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, OptiMom is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, and our liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months preceding any claim.

We may update this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by sending a notification to your registered email address. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy and terms.
