Privacy in Samtakt

Last updated: 02.10.2026

Who is responsible

Saurav (saurav.no) is the data controller for Samtakt. Questions about privacy go to pysaurav@gmail.com.

What we store, and why

Your account: your email address, your display name and a password we cannot read. They are used to sign you in and to show the others in your home who you are.
What you add to your home: lists and items, the calendar (including who an event is for, and when someone is away), dates, dinners, notes, links and the House (wifi name and password, practical information and contacts with phone numbers). Everyone in the home sees this.
Shopping list history: what was added, bought, changed or removed, by whom and when, including the names of items later deleted. We keep it so we can give better suggestions later. It is not used for anything else today, and it is deleted when the home is deleted.
Invitations: a code that gives access to the home.
Reports: if you report content, we store which content, your reason and that it was you.
“I'm shopping”: that you are shopping, and when you started and finished. The others see it for at most an hour.
Notifications, only if you turn them on: a notification key for your phone, which kinds of notification you want, the phone's language, and when and how you said yes or no.
Technical logs: the server logs requests and errors to keep the service running and secure. We do not use them for tracking.

The wifi password is stored as plain text in the database, which is encrypted on disk. Only you in the home and we who run the service can see it.

Notifications

Notifications are off until you turn them on in the app, and apply only to the phone you turn them on for. Before you turn them on, the app shows what you will get and what is stored. We record when you said yes, on which phone, with which button and which text you saw, so we can show that you consented. A notification only says who is shopping, never what is on the list or anything from House. Turn them off under You → Notifications and the key is deleted at once; turn them off in iPhone Settings and it is deleted the next time you open the app. It is also deleted when you log out or delete your account.

Information about others

If you add information about others, such as your landlord's phone number or a friend's birthday, we store it for you and the people you live with. Add only what you need. The person concerned can ask us for access or deletion. Avoid writing health information or other sensitive information in notes and lists.

Links

When you save a link, our server fetches the page title. The website then sees our server's address, not yours.

Legal basis

Providing the service you asked for: contract (GDPR art. 6(1)(b)).
Technical logs, reports and the shopping list history: our legitimate interest in a safe service that gets better (art. 6(1)(f)). You can object.
Information about others that you add: our legitimate interest in letting you run your home together (art. 6(1)(f)).
Notifications: your consent (art. 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw it at any time.

Who gets access

The other members of your home, and the suppliers who run the service for us (processors):

Supabase: database, sign-in and sign-up email
Railway: the server that runs Samtakt
Expo and Apple: deliver notifications, only if you turn them on

We do not sell data, show no ads and use no tracking, analytics or cookies.

Where the data lives

The database is in Ireland and the server in the Netherlands. Supabase, Railway and Expo are US companies and may process data from the US for operations and support. This is covered by the EU standard contractual clauses and/or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

How long we keep it

Account and content: until you delete your account.
A home you leave as the last member: the home is closed. Its content is kept until you delete your account, when it is deleted too, or on request. This applies to homes closed from 02.10.2026; older closed homes are deleted on request.
“I'm shopping”: until you leave the home or delete your account.
The notification key: until you turn notifications off, log out or delete your account. The consent log is deleted with the account.
Deleted data may remain in backups for a short time before it is overwritten.

Delete your account

Delete your account in the app under You → Delete account. That deletes your email address, your account, your notifications and consent log, all content in homes where you are the only member, and homes you left as the last member. Content in homes you share with others stays with them, without your name.

Your rights

You can ask for access and a copy of your data in a common file format, have mistakes corrected, have data deleted or restricted, and object to processing based on legitimate interest. Email pysaurav@gmail.com. We reply within a month. You can also complain to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (datatilsynet.no).

Age limit

Samtakt is for people aged 16 or older.

Changes

We will tell you in the app about significant changes.
