At a glance
HumanGrid is a household preparedness app and website. Your solo plan is stored on your device. When you create an account and sync, account-linked information is stored on our server so the app can provide sync and crew features.
- We do not sell your information or use it for advertising.
- This website has no advertising trackers, third-party analytics or tracking cookies.
- Your household plan, personal supplies and tasks are not automatically shared with your crew.
- You decide which optional details to enter and which information to share.
What we store and why
| Information | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| Account email, display name, password hash and account ID | Sign-in, account security and identifying your records. Passwords are hashed on the server; the app does not save your password. |
| Optional profile details, skills, phone number and general location | Your profile and the sharing choices you make with your crews. The app does not request precise GPS location. |
| Household counts, chosen duration, region, needs and optional medication reminders | Your private household plan and supply targets. Needs or reminders may contain health information if you choose to enter it. |
| Inventory, quantities, storage locations, kit contents, task notes, checklists, dates and bookmarks | Saving your plan, tracking progress and syncing signed-in devices. |
| Crew membership, invitations and messages | Private group access and sharing with your chosen crew. |
| Session tokens, sync revisions and request information | Authentication, reliable sync, troubleshooting and abuse prevention. |
| Support correspondence and feedback you send | Responding to your questions and investigating issues. |
Web and API requests necessarily include connection information such as an IP address. Our hosting infrastructure may process technical and error logs to operate and protect the service. We do not use that information to build advertising profiles. Apple may provide crash reports or test feedback according to your Apple settings and its own privacy practices.
What is shared
Crew members can see crew messages, your display name and skills, and optional profile fields according to your sharing settings. Personal inventory, tasks and household reminders remain private to your account unless you explicitly copy or share them. A shared task is a dated copy. Changing or removing the original does not remove copies another person has saved.
We use service providers to host and operate HumanGrid, including DigitalOcean for the server and our configured email provider for password-reset and support messages. Password-reset emails include a temporary link and your account email address. The website uses a necessary, secure sign-in cookie; it does not use advertising cookies. These providers may process information needed to deliver their services. Information may be processed in a country different from where you live. We may also disclose information when legally required or necessary to address abuse or protect people and the service.
Security
The app uses HTTPS for server connections, device storage for saved records, and Apple Keychain for session credentials. Server access is limited by account ownership and crew membership. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted: server operators and necessary service providers may have access. No storage or transmission system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Retention and deletion
Account information and synced content remain on our server while your account is maintained. Removing an item from your view can leave deletion markers and previous sync-operation data on the server so devices can synchronize reliably. Backups may also contain earlier records. There is not currently an automatic time-based deletion schedule for those records.
Signing out or uninstalling the app does not delete your server account. The app currently has no self-service account-deletion control. To request access, correction, export or deletion, contact support@gethumangrid.com. We may ask you to verify account ownership before acting and will explain any technical or legal retention limits. See Your data choices.
Your choices
You can use a solo plan without creating an account, omit optional details, adjust profile sharing, use Work offline to suspend network work, and choose whether to import a solo plan after signing in. Turning off sharing cannot erase information already received by another person. Avoid entering information about others unless you have permission.
Children
HumanGrid is intended for people managing their household preparedness. Children’s counts in a household plan do not create child accounts. The service is not directed at children under 13; do not create an account if you are under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information.
