Effective Date: September 11, 2026
Thank you for using Gable. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what information Gable and the third-party services it relies on collect, and how that information is used. The app does not require you to create an account.
The short version: everything Gable is actually for — your home profile, your maintenance plan, your completed-task history, the notes and costs you record and any photos you attach — is stored only on your device and is never uploaded to us or to anyone else. Gable has no server of its own. The only information that leaves your phone is what Google Play and the services listed in Section 3 collect for billing, crash reporting and anonymous usage analytics.
When you set up Gable you answer a few questions about your home (its climate, its hemisphere and which features it has, such as gutters or a garage door). Gable uses those answers, entirely on your device, to build a maintenance plan from a task library that ships inside the app. Nothing about your home is sent anywhere to produce that plan, and Gable never asks for or collects your address or your location.
As you mark tasks done, Gable records the date and, if you choose to add them, a note, a cost and up to three photos. All of this is stored locally in the app's database and in the app's private storage on your device only. It is never uploaded as part of saving it. You can delete any individual entry, or erase your home, your plan, your history and every stored photo at once, from the app's Settings at any time.
Gable can export your history as a PDF or a CSV file. That export is created on your device and goes only where you send it using Android's own share sheet. We never receive a copy.
Gable requests notification permission so it can remind you before a maintenance window closes. Reminders about your plan are generated and scheduled entirely on your device from the plan stored there. Separately, Gable can receive occasional messages sent through Firebase Cloud Messaging and Firebase In-App Messaging (Google) — for example that a new season has started or that a free trial is about to end. Those messages are written by us and sent from Google's servers; none of them carries your home profile, your task history, your notes, your costs or your photos, which stay on your device. Messages from Gable arrive on their own notification channel, "From Gable", which you can mute in Android's settings without muting your reminders. You can decline the permission or turn reminders off later, and the rest of the app continues to work.
When you attach a photo to a completed task, Gable uses the Android photo picker. The picker hands the app only the specific image you chose — the app is not granted access to the rest of your photo library, and Gable declares no storage or camera permission at all.
Gable does not request location, contacts, microphone or exact-alarm permissions, and it does not collect the Android Advertising ID (the permission is stripped from the app and Analytics ad-id collection is switched off in code).
Gable uses the following third-party services, which may collect information as described below. These services are operated by their respective providers under their own privacy policies.
Google (for Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config, Cloud Messaging and In-App Messaging) and RevenueCat each act as independent data processors under their own standard Data Processing Agreements, which apply automatically to all customers using their services — we do not need a separately negotiated DPA with either of them.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the UK, or another jurisdiction requiring a stated legal basis, we (and our processors) rely on:
We do not rely on consent as the legal basis for analytics or crash reporting; where local law requires opt-in consent for non-essential analytics (e.g. under ePrivacy rules), we will provide a consent mechanism before those services activate.
The third-party services listed above (Google/Firebase, RevenueCat) may process and store data on servers located outside your country, including in the United States. These providers rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (and, for Google, certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework) as the legal mechanism for these transfers. By using the app, you acknowledge this transfer. Your home profile, plan, history and photos are not part of any such transfer, because they never leave your device.
We retain data collected by our third-party services for only as long as necessary:
Depending on where you live, you have rights over the data collected about you by the third-party services described above. The content you create in Gable is already entirely under your own control on your device: you can view it, correct it, export it as a PDF or CSV, and delete it, all from within the app and without asking anyone.
If you are in the EEA, UK, or a similar jurisdiction (GDPR), you have the right to:
If you are a California resident (CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to:
If you are in Brazil (LGPD — Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados), you have the right to:
We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is no "opt-out of sale/share" to exercise.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below; we aim to respond within 30 days (15 days for LGPD access requests, extendable once with justification). You may also exercise rights over a specific processor's own data directly with that processor (links in the Third-Party Services section above). As a solo developer with only occasional, low-risk processing of the kind described in this policy, we rely on the Article 27 GDPR exemption from appointing a dedicated EU representative.
Gable is a general-audience app for people who look after a home. It is not directed at children, its Google Play target audience does not include children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, where that age is higher).
The app is in any case built to collect very little from anyone, whatever their age:
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that information has been collected from your child through the app, contact us at the email in Section 11 and we will delete it.
Your home profile, plan, history and photos live only in the app's private storage on your device, where other apps cannot read them. Files you export are written to the app's temporary cache and shared only with the app you choose in the share sheet, using a one-time read permission. Data collected by the third-party services above is transmitted over encrypted connections and protected by their own security measures; no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the app's features or the third-party services it uses change. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated effective date. You are advised to review this page periodically.
If you have any questions or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact the developer:
