Information from Third Parties

If you connect third-party services (such as Google Calendar), we may receive information from those services in accordance with their privacy policies and your authorisation.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and maintain the Service
  • Personalise your experience
  • Send reminders and notifications you've requested
  • Provide AI-powered suggestions and assistance
  • Improve and develop new features
  • Communicate with you about your account and updates
  • Ensure security and prevent fraud

4. AI and Data Processing

Poppins uses artificial intelligence to provide helpful features such as:

  • Smart scheduling suggestions
  • Meal planning recommendations
  • Natural language processing for voice and text commands
  • Automated reminders and notifications

When using AI features, your data is processed to provide personalised assistance. We do not sell your personal data or use it to train AI models for other customers.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

  • Within Your Family: Information you add to shared family features is visible to family members you've invited
  • Service Providers: We work with trusted providers who help us operate the Service (hosting, analytics, payment processing)
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect rights and safety
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Regular security assessments
  • Access controls and authentication
  • Secure data centres

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

7. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You can request deletion of your data at any time through your account settings or by contacting us.

8. Your Rights

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

  • Access: Request a copy of your personal data
  • Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data
  • Portability: Receive your data in a portable format
  • Objection: Object to certain processing of your data
  • Restriction: Request limitation of processing

To exercise these rights, please contact us at help@poppinshq.com.

9. Children's Privacy

Poppins is designed for families and may contain information about children. We collect children's information (such as names and activities) only as provided by parents or guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 16.

10. International Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

11. Cookies and Tracking

Our public website uses privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics (Fathom Analytics) to understand overall visitor numbers. It sets no cookies, collects no personal data, and does not track you across other websites. We do not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels, session-replay tools, or cross-site trackers, and we do not use technologies that intercept or read the content of your communications.

When you sign in to the Poppins app, we use a small number of strictly necessary first-party cookies to keep you signed in, protect the forms you submit, and remember preferences such as your appearance setting. These are essential to provide the service and are not used for advertising.

For full details, including how to opt out of analytics, see our Cookie & Tracking Policy. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, though blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect functionality.

12. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), gives you specific rights regarding your personal information:

  • Right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose.
  • Right to delete personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.
  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, as those terms are defined under California law. Because we do neither, no "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" action is required — but you may still contact us to exercise any of the rights above. To make a request, email help@poppinshq.com; we will verify and respond within the timeframes required by law.

13. Third-Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or through the Service. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when the policy was last revised.
