What Our Folks keeps
- About each person: the name, emoji and color they pick, their role (parent, grown kid, kid), and for parents and grown kids a PIN. PINs are stored scrambled; we cannot read them.
- What the family puts in: posts, comments, reactions, photos and clips, calendar events, chores, points, rewards, lists, meal plans, votes, countdowns, notes, trips and game moves.
- Notification devices: if someone turns notifications on, the address their phone gives us for sending them.
- Invite codes for the family, and a sign-in cookie so each person stays signed in on their own phone.
What we don't do
- No ads. No trackers. No analytics companies. No selling or sharing of family data with anyone.
- No email addresses, phone numbers or birth years are required. Parents may add a birthday for countdowns if they choose.
- Nobody who runs Our Folks looks inside a family's feed, photos, points or notes. The owner's tools show family names, sizes and plan status only.
Kids
Parents create the family and invite the kids. Kids join through a kid link with a name and an emoji only. The parents' private section (Us) is never sent to a kid's phone. Parents can remove any member or the whole family at any time.
Where it lives
Our Folks runs on Cloudflare's network in the United States. Data is kept only to run your family's app. Backups are kept for up to 30 days by the hosting provider.
Leaving
A parent can remove members in the app. To delete the whole family, ask and it is removed, including photos. A one-tap export for parents is coming.
Changes
If this page changes in a way that matters, parents see a notice inside the app first.
Questions go to the owner, Reid Paris, through the contact details shared with your family.
