Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 11, 2026
Who we are
FamAI™ is operated by FamAI LLC, San Diego, California. For any privacy question or request, email brady@famai.ai.
What we store
- Account: your email address and sign-in details. If you use Google sign-in, we receive your email and basic profile info from Google — we never see your Google password.
- Family profile: your family name, time zone, family members' names, roles (parent or kid), and any notes you add such as food likes, dislikes, or allergies.
- Plans and content: weekly meal plans, grocery lists, saved recipes, calendar events, Family Quests and completions, Hero Points, rewards, learning moments, and wellbeing entries.
- Images: member avatars and recipe photos you upload, kept in private storage that only your family can read.
Your data stays inside your family
Every record in FamAI is tied to your family, and our database enforces that only signed-in members of your family can read or change it. Other families can't see your plans, and we don't pool your family's content into a shared feed.
Connected calendars
If you connect a calendar feed, FamAI fetches that feed on a schedule and saves the events into your family's calendar so plans stay current. We only read the feeds you choose to connect, and removing a feed stops the syncing. If you turn on a shareable family calendar link, anyone with that link can see those events — treat it like a password.
AI features
Meal planning, quest and reward ideas, recipe import, learning wrap-ups, wellbeing suggestions, and FamAI Buddy are powered by an AI model we call on our servers. When you use one of these features, we send the details needed to answer — for example your members' names and notes, the week's meals, or the recipe text or photo you're importing. These AI calls happen securely on our servers, and only for signed-in members of your family.
FamAI Buddy and voice
Buddy listens using your browser or device's own speech recognition, which may use its own speech service to turn what you say into text. Only that text is sent to us. FamAI doesn't record or save your voice, and we don't store audio or keep Buddy's questions or answers after the reply is shown. Buddy can only read your family's own meals, calendar, and quests.
Read-aloud voices
Some screens can read text aloud — Buddy's replies, a story, or the day's Mind, Body, Heart practices. There are two kinds of voice, and they work differently:
- Your device's built-in voice: the reading happens in your browser. No text is sent to us or to any AI provider for that.
- AI-generated voice by OpenAI: when this is turned on, the text being read — for example Buddy's reply or the story text — is sent to OpenAI, which returns the audio.
Processing by OpenAI: OpenAI receives that text in order to create the audio.
Storage by FamAI: we don't save the generated audio or the text we sent for narration. The audio is played back to you and not kept on our side.
OpenAI's data-retention posture: under OpenAI's API terms, API content isn't used to train their models by default, and OpenAI may retain it for a limited period (typically up to 30 days) for abuse and misuse monitoring before deleting it. Their own policies govern that retention, and they can change them.
Kids
Kids don't create accounts. A parent or guardian sets up each kid's profile, decides what notes to add, and can edit or remove it at any time. We ask for as little about kids as the app needs — a name, a role, an optional avatar, and the plans they're part of.
What we never do
- We don't sell or rent your personal data.
- We don't show ads or run ad-tracking in the app.
- We don't use your family's content to train AI models, and our AI providers process it only to generate your family's own answers.
- We don't store voice recordings or Buddy transcripts.
Who helps us run FamAI
We use a small number of service providers to make the app work: a hosting and database provider that stores your data and handles sign-in, and an AI provider that generates the suggestions described above. They process data on our instructions only.
How long we keep things
We keep your family's data while your account is open, so past weeks, recipes, and quest history stay available to you. Some records are archived rather than erased when you remove them in the app, so points and history stay consistent — a full deletion request clears those too.
Your choices
You can view and edit your family's information in the app at any time. Email brady@famai.ai to ask for a copy of your data or to have your family's account and data deleted, and we'll take care of it.
Changes
If we make a meaningful change to this policy, we'll update the date at the top and let families know in the app.
