Your family’s information.
Updated October 24, 2026
CradleCrew helps a family prepare for a baby and share selected checklist items with its care team. Jeffery Powell develops and operates CradleCrew. This policy explains the information the app uses and the choices you have.
Information you provide
We store your name, username, family membership, checklist items, notes, text locations, product links and their details, purchase status, caregiver assignments, sharing choices, invitation records and account settings. Your password is processed by Google Firebase Authentication. CradleCrew’s checklist database does not store your plaintext password. A device keeps its sign-in session in the iOS Keychain. If you email support, we receive your email address, message and any attachments you choose to send, and use them to respond to your request.
Product links
Shopping links and saved product details are visible to people who can view their checklist item. To retrieve an optional preview, our server requests the public URL you provide. Loading a product image or opening a retailer link connects your device to that website, which may receive connection information such as your IP address and apply its own privacy policy. CradleCrew does not process purchases or receive payment information from these links.
Optional account recovery
If email recovery is enabled and you choose to use it, Google Firebase Authentication stores your recovery email and sends links to verify that address or reset your password. These recovery emails may be titled “Sign in”. CradleCrew keeps a hashed reference to link that address to your account, along with recovery status and expiry records. Your recovery address is private to your account and is not shared with your care team. Adding it does not change your username or make email a requirement for sign-in. The address must be verified before it can be used to recover access.
Who can see it
The family owner can manage the family’s checklist and helper accounts. A helper can see only the items or categories the owner shares. Item notes are shared along with their item. The owner can change or pause access. An invitation alone does not share checklist items.
Our service providers
Google Firebase Authentication validates sign-ins, Google Firestore stores account and family data, and Google Cloud Run hosts the service. These providers process information to operate and secure the service under their applicable data-protection terms. Data may be processed in the United States and other locations where Google operates. The service also processes IP addresses and request metadata for security, rate limiting and operational logs. We do not sell family information, display ads, or use advertising tracking in this app.
Keeping and deleting information
Account and checklist information is retained while the account is active. In the app, open Account → Delete account to request permanent deletion and confirm with your password. Deleting a helper removes that helper’s account. Deleting a family owner also deletes the family checklist, invitations and all linked helper accounts. Access is blocked as deletion starts; service cleanup may finish afterwards. Operational records may remain under the cloud provider’s retention settings. Support correspondence is kept as needed to handle your request; contact us if you want to request its deletion.
Children and account access
CradleCrew accounts are intended for adults coordinating a family checklist. No child needs an account. Avoid including sensitive medical details in checklist notes. No email address is required for sign-in. If email recovery is enabled, an optional verified recovery address can help with a forgotten password. Helpers can also ask their family owner for a password reset.
Contact and privacy requests
For account help, privacy questions or a request about your information, contact Jeffery Powell at klogdog@gmail.com. Do not send passwords or private family notes. We may need to verify that a request concerns your account before disclosing or changing information. See Help and support for account controls.
