ChoreMark privacy
Your family's details stay in your hands.
ChoreMark is a local-first app made by Created by Cactus. We do not receive your family's names, chores, rewards, token balances, or activity through the app. This policy explains the exceptions you choose, such as a private iCloud backup or a support email.

01 / On this device
What the app stores
ChoreMark keeps the family name, parent and child names, a verifier for the parent PIN, chores, schedules, completion and approval history, rewards, requests, and token activity in protected local app storage. This information is used to run your family's chore and reward system. It is not sent to Created by Cactus, and there is no ChoreMark account, advertising, or analytics SDK.
The app can make printable schedules and reward lists on the device. Once you export, share, or print a file, that copy is outside ChoreMark's protected storage and is controlled by where you choose to save or send it.
02 / Optional recovery
Private iCloud backup
If a parent chooses Back Up Now or enables automatic backup, ChoreMark places one recovery copy in the signed-in Apple Account's private iCloud storage. That copy includes the family information above, including the parent PIN verifier. Apple processes and stores the backup under its iCloud service; Created by Cactus does not operate that storage or receive the backup.
Manual backup protects only changes saved up to that moment. In app versions offering automatic backup, a parent can opt in to updates after changes while the app is open; iOS does not guarantee a backup while the app is closed. ChoreMark stops automatic uploads if another installation has taken over the iCloud copy. This is not live sync or sharing across different Apple Accounts. ChoreMark will not replace a different family's backup. Restoring requires an empty installation.
03 / When you contact us
Support and website visits
Opening the ChoreMark website or support page does not upload family data. Our hosting providers may process ordinary technical information, such as an IP address and request logs, to deliver and protect those pages. The ChoreMark pages do not include advertising pixels or analytics cookies.
If you choose to email support, your email provider sends us your address and whatever you write. ChoreMark prepares a draft with only a selected error code and app version; nothing is sent automatically. Please do not send child names, chores, balances, the parent PIN, Apple ID, or exported family files. We use a support email to answer your request and keep it only as needed for support and applicable recordkeeping.
04 / Apple services
Purchases and beta testing
Paid plans are not enabled in the current beta. If purchases become available, Apple will process payment and ChoreMark will read the verified purchase entitlement to enable Plus. We do not receive your payment card details or family records through StoreKit.
Apple distributes the TestFlight beta and may provide beta crash reports and feedback to the developer. Please avoid including private family details in voluntary feedback or screenshots.
05 / Your choices
Access, deletion, and changes
Parents can review family information in the app and use Privacy & Storage to delete the family from this device. Deleting the local family or removing the app does not delete a private iCloud backup; that copy remains under the Apple Account until a parent removes it. In app versions offering Delete Backup from Private iCloud, a parent can do so in Privacy & Storage; this also turns off automatic backup and leaves the local family intact. Apple's iCloud controls can also remove the copy. We cannot access or delete it for you. Purchases, if enabled later, are managed through Apple.
If you sent us a support email, you can ask us to access or delete that correspondence by emailing Help@createdbycactus.com. We may need to keep limited records where required. We will update this page if ChoreMark's data practices change.
