Privacy Policy

Senior's Dashboard and Senior's Dashboard Phone · Last updated 9 November 2026

1. Who we are

Senior's Dashboard (the tablet app) and Senior's Dashboard Phone (the companion phone app), together "the apps", and the server at central.dayinfo.app are operated by Geoffrey Rose, a sole trader in South Australia ("we", "us"). Contact: support@dayinfo.app.

We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

2. What our server stores

• Your Google account identity: the email address and Google account ID you sign in with, so we can give you a free trial and attach your license to you.
• Trial and license records: when your trial started, your license status and dates, which tablet holds your license, and purchase records from Google Play (order and purchase identifiers and their status). We never see your card or payment details: Google Play handles payment.
• Tablet details: a random ID created by the app, the device model, Android version, app version, whether it runs in kiosk mode, and the name entered in the app's "Your name" setting.
• Activity records: when a tablet registers, updates, or its trial or license changes.
• Technical logs: our server and hosting provider keep standard logs that can include IP addresses, used for security and troubleshooting.

Our server is hosted in the United States. By using the apps you agree to this information being stored there. We keep a nightly backup on the same server for 30 days.

3. What stays on the tablet

• Camera recordings. When the camera is armed (for example while the phone is away from home), the tablet records short video clips when it detects motion. Clips are stored only on the tablet. Anyone who can use the tablet can view them in the Recordings screen.
• Settings: your name, home location, emergency contact, AI key, screen schedule, pill reminder times and similar.
• Pill reminder history: when each scheduled dose was acknowledged on the tablet.
• Ringfencing log: a short on-device history of when the camera armed and disarmed.

4. What goes into your own Google account

Senior's Dashboard Phone sends the phone's current location to a hidden app folder in your own Google Drive. The tablet, signed in to the same Google account, reads it to tell whether you're home. Only these apps can see that folder, and it doesn't count as a file you can browse. To delete it, open Google Drive on the web, go to Settings → Manage apps, find Senior's Dashboard and choose Delete hidden app data. We never receive your location.

The phone app collects location in the background, including when the app is closed, so the tablet stays up to date. It only does this while sharing is switched on in the app.

5. Google account access

When you sign in with Google, the apps ask for these permissions:

• See your calendar (read only): to show today's events and read reminders aloud.
• See your contacts (read only): so you can pick an emergency contact.
• Send email on your behalf: only to send alerts from your Gmail to the people you choose: a "help needed" alert (and a "false alarm" follow-up) to your emergency contact, and a "pills not taken" reminder to the address set for pill reminders. The apps never read your email.
• Its own hidden Google Drive folder: for the phone-to-tablet location link (section 4). The apps can't see any of your other Drive files.
• Your email address and basic profile: to identify your trial and license.

This data is used on your devices to provide these features. Apart from your email address and account ID (section 2), it is not sent to us. Senior's Dashboard's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We don't use Google user data for advertising, we don't sell it, and we don't use it to train AI models.

6. Services your devices talk to directly

• Google: sign-in, Calendar, Contacts, Gmail (alerts only), Drive (location link), and Google News (headlines).
• Google Gemini (AI assistant), using the API key you enter in Settings. When you ask a question or chat, the tablet sends your words, the conversation so far, your first name and today's calendar events to Google so the assistant can answer. This goes under your agreement with Google. Under Google's terms, inputs to a free Gemini API key may be used by Google to improve its products, and may be reviewed by people. If that isn't acceptable, use a paid key or leave the AI features unused.
• Speech recognition: the emergency listener and voice questions use the tablet's built-in Android speech recognition service (normally Google's), which may process audio on the device or send it to that provider to turn it into text. We never receive or store the audio.
• Open-Meteo (weather): the tablet sends your home location to get the forecast.
• Google Play: purchases and app updates from the Play Store are handled by Google under its own privacy policy.

7. Microphone and camera

The tablet's emergency listener listens continuously for phrases such as "help" so it can alert your emergency contact. Audio is not recorded or kept by the apps. The camera records only as described in section 3. If other people live in or visit the home, please tell them the tablet has a microphone and camera that may be in use (see the Terms of Use).

8. How long we keep information

• Account, trial and license records: while you use the apps, and purchase records for up to 7 years where tax law requires.
• Tablet details and activity records: while the tablet is in use. Ask us and we'll delete them.
• Backups: 30 days.

9. Your choices and rights

• You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you by emailing support@dayinfo.app. We'll answer within 30 days.
• You can remove the apps' access to your Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
• You can stop location sharing at any time in the phone app, or by uninstalling it.
• If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, contact us first. You can also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

10. Children

The apps are not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

11. Security

All connections to our server and to Google are encrypted (HTTPS). License records are signed so they can't be altered. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep the information on our server to a minimum.

12. Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and, for significant changes, tell you in the app.
