Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

HomeLynk ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the HomeLynk mobile application.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, phone number, profile photos, and location data. Customer payments for booked services are processed securely through Stripe. Provider lead credits are digital goods sold only through Google Play Billing — never through Stripe.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide and improve our services, match customers with service providers, process payments, send notifications, and comply with legal obligations.

Camera & Photos

Camera and photo library access is used only for profile photos. Identity verification for payouts is handled by Stripe Connect, not by capturing ID documents inside the app.

Location Data

We collect location data to show nearby service providers and estimate distances. Location is only used while you are actively using the app.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with service providers necessary to operate the platform (e.g., Stripe for payments, Google Play for Android in-app purchases, Supabase for database services) and as required by law.

Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You may permanently delete your account at any time from the Settings screen in the app, or visit our account deletion page.

Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections and secure credential storage.

Children's Privacy

HomeLynk is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
