Privacy policy
Last updated: [DATE — set when your lawyer approves this page]
rabithouse is a private messaging app for parents, with an optional AI helper called Bunny. This page explains, in plain language, what personal data we keep, why, who can see it, how long we keep it, and how to delete it. The facts below describe how the app actually works today.
1. Our principles
- Usernames, not phone numbers. Other parents see your username and optional display name — never your email or phone number. We don’t sell personal data or show ads.
- Only the people who need it. Space content is visible only to active members of that Space. Your Pocket, your children’s profiles, and your AI conversations are visible only to you. These rules are enforced by the database itself and checked by automated tests.
- AI only when you allow it. Bunny’s AI features are off until you tap “Allow Bunny”, and you can turn them off anytime.
- Deletion that works. You can delete your account from the app, and we automatically delete many kinds of data on a schedule.
2. What we keep, and who can see it
Your account
| Data | Why | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
| Email address you sign in with | Sending your one-time sign-in code | Only our sign-in system. It is never shown to anyone in the app. |
| Username and optional display name | How you appear in Spaces | People who share a Space with you. Others can only check whether a username is taken. |
| Sign-in session on your phone | Keeping you signed in | Only that device; encrypted, with the key in the phone’s secure keychain. |
| Your Bunny AI choice (when you allowed or turned it off) | Respecting and recording your consent | Only you |
Your family
| Data | Why | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
| Children you add: first name, birth date, school track | School and childcare milestones; answering questions about your family | Only you |
| Your city (if you enter it) | Local features | Only you |
Spaces (group chats)
| Data | Why | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
| Messages, shared photos and PDFs, calendar events, sign-ups, and tables | The group chat and shared planning | Active members of that Space |
| Membership, roles, and read status | Access and unread counts | Members of that Space |
| Invite codes and failed code attempts | Joining safely; blocking guessing | Only our servers |
| Reports about a member (reason, optional note) | Keeping Spaces safe | Our moderators. You see your own reports; the reported person never does. |
Bunny’s Pocket
| Data | Why | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
| What you save: text you type or dictate, links, photos, PDFs, and how they’re sorted (category, due date, reminder, done) | Your private to-dos, things to buy, ideas, and notes; reminders in your Daily Briefing | Only you. No Space or other parent can see your Pocket. If you choose “Share to a Space”, a copy of that one item is posted to that Space. |
3. Bunny, our AI helper
Bunny uses Claude, an AI model provided by Anthropic, to read what you ask it to read: a chat message, a Pocket item, a link, a forwarded school email, or your question to Ask Bunny. Bunny only runs after you allow it, and our servers check that permission on every request.
- What’s sent: only the content needed for what you asked — for example, the message you asked Bunny to read, or snippets from your own Spaces and Pocket that match your question. Message authors are withheld.
- Your children: for Ask Bunny and Pocket sorting, the children in your profile are described only as “Child A” with an age and school track; their names and birthdays are removed from what’s sent, and each request is checked before it goes. Photos and PDFs you ask Bunny to read are sent as they are.
- Nothing happens without you: Bunny suggests dates and tables; nothing is added to a Space calendar or table until you confirm it.
- What we keep: Bunny’s suggestions (30 days after you decide, 60 if you don’t), your Ask Bunny history (30 days, or until you clear it), and usage counts for rate limits and cost (no content).
- Links: when Bunny reads a public web page, our server fetches it without any information about you and keeps a copy for at most 10 minutes. We never open login-only school portals.
4. Forwarded school emails
You can forward school emails to a private rabithouse address. Our email provider receives the email, Bunny reads it in memory, and we keep only a small record: the subject, the sender’s display name and domain (never an email address), a status, and Bunny’s suggestions. We do not store email bodies or attachments. You can remove a forwarded email and its suggestions anytime, and get a new forwarding address, which stops the old one immediately.
5. Services we use
| Service | What they receive | Their retention |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase (our database, file storage, and servers) | All app data described above, plus request logs that include IP addresses | Data as described on this page; logs per their plan |
| Anthropic (Claude API) | What you ask Bunny to read (see section 3), only after you allow Bunny | Per Anthropic’s API data terms for our account |
| Resend (inbound email) | Emails you forward to your Bunny address | Up to 30 days on their standard plans |
| Sentry (crash reports) | Crash reports tagged with a random ID; emails, tokens, dates, phone numbers, and values are removed | Per their plan |
| Websites you share links to | A request from our server, with no information about you | Their own logs |
| [Website host — e.g. Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare] | Standard web request logs when you visit this website | Per their policy |
6. How long we keep things
These deletions run automatically:
| Data | Kept |
|---|---|
| Your account, profile, children, and Pocket | Until you delete them or your account |
| Pocket items you mark done | 90 days after you tick them off |
| Messages, events, tables, and shared files in a Space | Until the Space is deleted (see account deletion below) |
| Bunny suggestions | 30 days after you confirm or dismiss them; 60 days if undecided |
| Ask Bunny conversations | 30 days, or until you clear the chat |
| Forwarded-email records | 90 days (30 days if waiting for you to allow Bunny) |
| Bunny prep lists for events | 7 days after the event |
| Usage records (no content) | 30 days, then kept only as totals with no user ID |
| Invite codes / failed code attempts | 30 days after they expire / 1 day |
| Reports about members | 1 year |
| Beta list emails (from this website) | 1 year |
7. Deleting your account
Tap your avatar on the Home screen, then “Delete my account”. The app shows exactly what will be deleted before anything happens. When you confirm:
- Spaces you own pass to the longest-standing member; a Space where you were the only member is deleted with everything in it.
- Your messages stay in their Spaces as “Deleted user”, unless you choose “Also erase my messages”.
- Your Pocket and all your files are deleted.
- Your sign-in email, profile, children, settings, forwarding address, suggestions, and history are deleted.
Copies already held by our email, crash-reporting, and AI providers follow their own retention (see section 5).
8. Children
rabithouse is for parents and caregivers, not for children. Information about children is entered by their parent, is visible only to that parent, and is never sent to our AI provider with the child’s name or birthday.
9. This website and the beta list
This website does not use cookies, analytics, or ad trackers. If you join the beta, we store your email address and when you signed up, only to invite you to rabithouse and send beta updates. It isn’t visible to anyone outside our team and is deleted after one year, or sooner if you ask at support@rabithouse.com.
10. Your rights
You can see and edit your profile and children in the app, clear your Ask Bunny history, remove Pocket items and forwarded emails, turn Bunny off, and delete your account at any time.
11. Security
Access rules are enforced by the database itself (row-level security), sign-in sessions are encrypted on your phone, AI and email keys are kept only on our servers, and files are private and shared through short-lived links. No system is perfectly secure.
12. Changes and contact
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we’ll tell you in the app before it takes effect. Questions or requests: support@rabithouse.com.
