Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026 · Effective Date: November 11, 2026

Summary: Ausbava is designed for homeowners. We do not sell your personal data, we do not run third-party advertising networks, and we never share your street address or identity with AI providers.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide, personalize, and improve the Ausbava app. The categories of information we collect include:

Account Information: When you sign in, we collect your email address to deliver a secure 6-digit one-time code (OTP). We do not store passwords.
Property Information: The street address, postal code, living area (sq ft), year built, bedrooms, and bathrooms that you search for or confirm. We retrieve public records and recent neighborhood comparable sales for this property.
Renovation Plans & Preferences: Projects you select (e.g. Kitchen, Bathroom, HVAC), your target budget ranges, custom cost edits, and saved renovation plans.
Purchase Data: When you unlock a Full Report ($19.99), transactions are processed directly by Apple through StoreKit In-App Purchases. We receive an anonymous transaction identifier to unlock your report; we never see, collect, or store your credit card or billing details.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used solely to operate the service and provide renovation estimates:

To authenticate your session and maintain your saved plans across app restarts.
To retrieve public tax records, property dimensions, and nearby recorded sales.
To calculate Ausbava's renovation cost estimates, labor/materials splits, and estimated value impact.
To generate AI-assisted contractor trade estimates and project checklists.

3. Third-Party Service Providers

To deliver our services, we partner with trusted infrastructure providers under strict confidentiality and data protection standards:

Cloud hosting provider: Our database, sign-in, and server functions run on a cloud platform hosted in the United States.
Address search: When you type an address, what you type is sent to a map search service to suggest matching addresses.
Property data providers: Your home's address is sent to property data providers to look up its public-record facts, an estimated value, and nearby homes for sale and recent sales. To check what nearby listings say about updates, the addresses of those nearby homes (not yours) may be sent to a listing data provider.
Third-party AI service: Used to generate the contractor trade breakdown, estimated working days, and permit questions in a Full Report. We send only the home's ZIP code, living area, year built, bedrooms and bathrooms, the local value per square foot, your planned renovations with Ausbava's cost estimates, and a summary of nearby sales. We never send your street address, name, or email to the AI service.
Apple StoreKit: In-app purchase processing. Apple manages your payment credentials under Apple's Privacy Policy.

4. Data Sharing & Advertising

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Ausbava contains no third-party banner ads, data brokers, or behavioral tracking SDKs. We do not share your information with real estate brokerages or lead-generation networks.

5. Data Retention & Security

We retain your account data and saved plans for as long as your account is active. All communications between the Ausbava app and our servers are encrypted in transit (TLS). Database snapshots and stored estimates are protected behind strict Row Level Security (RLS) policies.

6. Your Rights & Account Deletion (Apple Guideline 5.1.1(v))

You have full control over your personal data at all times:

In-App Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data at any time directly within the iOS app: tap the account icon (person) at the top right of your dashboard → tap Delete Account.
Web Deletion Request: If you have uninstalled the app and wish to permanently erase your account, you can submit a request on our Support Page or email support@ausbava.com.

Upon account deletion, your profile, confirmed property links, saved plans, budget histories, and generated reports are permanently erased from our active database.

7. Children's Privacy

Ausbava is intended for adult homeowners and property planners. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
