Kehrschild is a Kehrwoche planner for the tenants and owners of a small apartment house. This page states plainly what the app does and does not collect. If anything here ever seems to conflict with what the app actually does, this document is wrong and should be reported using the contact details below — the app's behavior is the one we intend to keep.
None. Kehrschild does not operate a backend and does not send any of
your data anywhere. The house plan, the task lists, the bin-day
schedule, the Hausordnung text, the rotation history and any photos you
attach are stored only in this app's local storage on your device
(Apple's UserDefaults for small settings, and files in the
app's own Application Support folder for the house data and photos).
None of it is uploaded, backed up to a server we control, or made
available to us in any form.
| Permission | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| Camera | To take an optional photo of the swept stairwell, entrance or yard when you pass the Kehrwoche sign to the next flat. The photo is saved only inside that week's history entry, on your device. |
| Photo Library (read) | To let you choose an existing photo instead of taking a new one, for the same handover history entry. Kehrschild uses Apple's photo picker, which does not grant the app access to your library beyond the picture you explicitly choose. |
| Photo Library (add) | To save the printable Kehrwoche plan (image or PDF) to your photos, only when you tap the button to do so. |
| Notifications | To remind you the evening before bin collection, and optionally every Saturday morning. Notifications are scheduled locally on your device; nothing is sent to us. |
In the Bins tab, the app can open your town's own official waste calendar page inside the app, in a built-in web browser. This is the only place Kehrschild connects to the internet at all. The address is one you or your house chooses and saves (for example your town hall's Abfallkalender page); Kehrschild does not send that town's site any information about you beyond a normal page request, and it does not read, store or share anything from that page. Once you leave that screen, no connection remains open. That external website is run by your town's council or waste authority, not by us, and its own privacy practices apply to that page. If you tap through to open it in Safari, you leave Kehrschild entirely.
Kehrschild includes no advertising network, no analytics library, and no tracking software of any kind. No data leaves your device to us or to any third party.
Kehrschild is a household chore-rota tool for tenants and homeowners. It is not directed at children, does not knowingly collect any information, and (per the note above) collects no information from anyone regardless of age.
Because everything lives locally, deleting the app deletes your house plan, history and photos with it. There is no account to delete and no server-side copy to remove, because none exists. If you switch phones, the plan does not move with you automatically — export the printable sheet from House → Print the plan beforehand if you want a copy.
If this policy changes, the update will be posted on this same page with a new "last updated" date above.
Questions about this policy or the app can be sent to [email protected].
