FamCanvas app and famcanvas.com · Last updated: 31 July 2026
FamCanvas is a private family organizer. We built it so that your family's plans belong to your family: no ads, no tracking, no selling of data. This page explains, in plain language, what data the app needs, why, and what your rights are.

famcanvas.com is a static website. It sets no cookies, uses no analytics and loads no third-party fonts or scripts. Our hosting provider automatically keeps short-lived server logs (IP address, time, requested page) for security; we do not use them for anything else. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Account data. When you register we store your display name, e-mail address and password (stored only as a secure hash — we cannot read it). Optional: a profile picture and your language preference. Legal basis: performance of the contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Sign in with Google or Apple (optional). If you choose social sign-in, authentication runs through Firebase Authentication (Google Ireland Ltd.). We receive your name, e-mail address (Apple lets you hide it behind a relay address) and a technical user ID. We never see your Google or Apple password.
Family content. Everything your family creates in the app is stored on our server so your family members can see it: calendar events and reminders, shopping and to-do lists, recipes and meal plans, birthdays and celebrations, subscribed external calendar addresses, and family member profiles — including managed profiles for children (name, optional birthday, optional picture) that a parent creates and controls. This content is visible only to members of your family, never to other users and never publicly.
Photos & documents vault. Files in the vault are stored only on your device. They are never uploaded to our servers and are not part of any backup we hold.
Push notifications. To deliver reminders, the app registers a technical device token with Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google). You can turn notifications off at any time in the system settings; reminders then simply stop.
E-mails. We send account e-mails (verification, password reset, invitations) through Brevo, an EU e-mail provider. We send no newsletters and no marketing e-mails.
What the app does not collect. No location. No access to your contacts. No advertising ID. No analytics or tracking tools inside the app.
The FamCanvas server is hosted by Host Europe GmbH in the European Union (Germany). Firebase Authentication and Firebase Cloud Messaging are services of Google; Google may process limited technical data (such as device tokens) on servers outside the EU under the EU standard contractual clauses.
Your data stays as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, it is deactivated immediately, kept for a 30-day grace period (in case you change your mind — you can restore it by e-mail link), and then permanently deleted. You can export your data as a file in the app at any time (Settings → Data export).
FamCanvas is made for families. Accounts for children are created and managed by a parent or guardian: either as a managed profile without a login, or via a personal invitation from a family admin. Parents can remove a child's profile and its data at any time.
Just write to support@famcanvas.com. You also have the right to complain to the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde, dsb.gv.at).
If FamCanvas gains new features that change how data is handled, we will update this page and note the date at the top.
