What SameNest does

SameNest is a household organizer for shared homes. It helps you manage shopping lists, finances, events, and documents with the people you live with.

Data we collect

  • Account info: Email address and display name when you sign up. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from Google.
  • Household data: Shopping lists, financial records, calendar events, and documents you create within your household.
  • Usage data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics (pages visited, device type, country). This helps us improve the service. Google may set cookies on your browser for this purpose.

How we use your data

Your data is used solely to provide the SameNest service. We do not sell, share, or use your data for advertising. Financial data and documents stay within your household and are never shared externally.

Cookies

SameNest uses essential cookies for login sessions and security (CSRF protection). We also use Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies to collect anonymous usage data. You can disable analytics cookies in your browser settings.

Third-party services

  • Stripe: Processes payments securely. We do not store your card details. See Stripe's privacy policy for details.
  • Google Analytics: Collects anonymous usage statistics to help us improve the service.
  • Google OAuth: If you sign in with Google, authentication is handled by Google. We only receive your name and email.
  • Resend: Sends transactional emails (password resets, invitations).
  • Render: Hosts the application and database.
  • Anthropic (Claude API): Processes your assistant-chat messages to understand intent. We send only the text of your message — never your financial records, uploaded documents, or household member data.
