Transparency First
Privacy & Security
At familite.co, we believe your family's data belongs to you. This policy outlines how we protect your information and—more importantly—what we don't do with it.
The "Too Long; Didn't Read" Summary
We don't sell data.
Your bank statements, passwords, and schedules are never for sale.
We don't "browse" your files.
If you link a Google Drive file, we store the link, not the file's contents.
You control visibility.
Use Role-Based Access to hide finances from children or guests.
No Lock-In.
Your family handbook stays with you. You own every link and record.
What we collect (and why)
To provide your family space, we process a few key types of information:
1. Account & Identity
We use Supabase Auth for secure sign-in. We store your name and email to manage your membership in your Family Workspace.
2. Financial Statements (Money)
When you upload a bank statement (PDF), we store it in Google Cloud Storage (GCP) exclusively for parsing. Once the transactions are extracted, you choose which ones to save to your ledger.
3. The Vault (Documents & Links)
The Vault is storage-agnostic. If you upload a file, we store it in our secure backend. If you paste a link to iCloud or GDrive, we store only the reference link—we do not scan or read your external cloud accounts.
Who can see your data?
familite.co is a shared space, but not everyone needs to see everything. We use Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to let you decide who sees what.
- Admins: Have full control over finances, vault items, and settings.
- Members: Can typically see planning and vault items but may have restricted access to finances.
- Children/Guests: Parents can connect children's calendars (like school schedules) for visibility without giving the child access to parent-level finances.
How we keep it safe
We use industry-standard encryption and security infrastructure to protect your household.
- Secure Auth: We never see your Google password; sign-in is handled securely via Google OAuth.
- Encrypted Transfers: Every request between your dashboard and our Go-backend is validated with secure JWT tokens.
- Isolated Households: Your family data is scoped strictly to your unique Family ID. No other family can access your records.
