Privacy Policy

Last updated July 27, 2026

Brim is operated by Monica Waymire, a sole proprietor trading as "Brim", located in Topeka, Kansas, United States ("we", "the app"). Monica Waymire is the data controller for the information described here. Brim helps households keep track of appointments, to-dos, meals, and shopping in one place. This policy explains what we collect, why, the legal bases we rely on, and how you can remove it. It applies to the Brim web app and the Brim iOS and Android apps.

What we collect

Account information. Your email address and display name, plus a password or the Google/Apple account you choose to sign in with.

Content you add. Events, to-dos, notes, family member names and ages, shopping items, meal plans, recipes, and photos you scan. This is the reason the app exists, and it stays inside your household.

Device information for notifications. If you enable reminders, we store a push subscription for that browser or device so we can deliver them.

Basic technical logs. Standard server logs used to keep the app running and to investigate errors.

We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.

How we use it

To show you your calendar and lists, to send the reminders you ask for, to share data with the other members of your household, and to support you when something breaks.

Photos and AI processing

When you scan a school flyer, calendar, or recipe, the image is sent to an AI model so the dates and ingredients can be read out for you. The extracted text is saved to your account; scan images are stored in a private bucket that only your account can read. Images are not used to train models.

Who can see your information

Members of your household see the shared calendar, lists, meals, and notes. If you create a share link for your calendar, anyone with that link can see event titles, dates, locations, categories, and the person an event is for — never notes or attachments. You can turn a share link off at any time.

We share information with these categories of recipients: service providers who run the app (hosting and database, AI processing for scanning and transcription, push notification delivery); our Merchant of Record, Paddle.com, which handles the sale of subscriptions, billing, payments, tax compliance and invoicing; professional advisers such as legal and accounting; and authorities where the law requires it. Service providers process data on our behalf and may not use it for their own purposes.

Legal bases

We process your account and content to perform our contract with you; reminders and notifications on the basis of your consent, which you can withdraw at any time; security, fraud prevention and product improvement on the basis of our legitimate interests; and billing records where we have a legal obligation to keep them.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures — encryption in transit, row-level access controls so households can only reach their own data, and private storage for scanned images — to protect your information.

Cookies

We use only essential cookies and local storage needed to keep you signed in and remember your preferences. We don't use advertising or third-party tracking cookies. Checkout pages served by Paddle may set cookies necessary to process your payment.

How long we keep it

Your content stays until you delete it or delete your account. Push subscriptions are removed when you turn notifications off.

Deleting your account

Open the app and go to You → Delete my account. This permanently removes your profile, your personal data, and — if you are the only member left — your household's calendar, lists, meals, and recipes. Shared households remain for the other members. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.

You can also email support@usebrim.app from your account's email address and we will delete it for you.

Children

Brim is intended for adults running a household. You may record a child's first name and age as a family member; we do not create accounts for children and do not knowingly collect information directly from them.

Your rights

You can access, correct, export, or delete your information at any time from inside the app, or by emailing us at support@usebrim.app.

Changes

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top and note it in the app.
