Privacy Policy

Effective October 14, 2026

Homieva is operated by Digital Summit LLC ("Homieva," "we," "us"). Homieva connects homeowners with contractors, general contractors and laborers, and gives contractors tools to run their business. This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have, across homieva.com and the Homieva iOS and Android apps (the "Services").

Information we collect

• Account and profile: your name, email address, password (stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider), phone number, company name, trade, ZIP code, profile photo, company logo and the role you choose (homeowner, contractor, general contractor or laborer).
• Projects and work records: job posts, project descriptions and photos, bids, estimates, contracts, change orders, invoices, receipts you scan, schedules, crew assignments, warranties, reviews and the messages you exchange with other users.
• Signatures: if you sign a document in Homieva, we store the signature you draw so it can be applied to the documents you approve.
• Payments and subscriptions: plan, status, and transaction records. Card and bank details are entered directly with our payment processors (Stripe on the web; Apple or Google for in-app purchases) and are never stored by Homieva.
• Waitlist and applications: the name, email, business and plan details you submit through our waitlist, Founder and sponsor forms.
• Device and usage: basic technical information needed to run the Services, such as device type, operating system, app version and error logs.

Camera and photo-library access is used only when you choose to take or attach a photo (for example, a job photo or a receipt). We do not collect precise location; we use the ZIP code or city you enter.

How we use your information

• To run the marketplace and the contractor tools: matching jobs with contractors, bids, estimates, contracts, scheduling, invoices, payments, reviews and warranties.
• To process subscriptions and refunds, keep the payment records you enter, and produce your billing and spending summaries.
• To provide the drafting and assistant features you choose to use (see below).
• To send service messages about your account, projects and payments.
• To keep the Services secure, prevent fraud and abuse, and meet legal obligations.

Drafting and assistant features

When you use a drafting or assistant feature, such as the business assistant, estimate drafting or material-list help, the text you submit and the project details needed to answer are sent to Google's Gemini models through Google Cloud Vertex AI. Under Google Cloud's terms, that data is processed to return your answer and is not used to train Google's models. Their output is a draft for you to review; it is not professional, legal, tax or engineering advice.

How we share information

• With other users, as needed to work together: contractor and general contractor profiles, ratings and reviews are visible to other users of the marketplace. When a homeowner posts a job, contractors see the job details and the city and ZIP code only. A homeowner's name, phone number, email address and exact project address are shared with a contractor only after the homeowner accepts that contractor's bid, and only with that contractor. Until then, bids and messages that try to share contact details are blocked. After a job is awarded, the homeowner and the hired contractor see each other's profile, the bids, documents and messages for that project.
• With service providers that run the Services for us: Google (Firebase authentication, database, file storage, hosting and cloud functions; Vertex AI for drafting and assistant features), Stripe (web subscription payments, and contractor payouts when online project payments become available), Apple and Google (in-app purchases) and RevenueCat (in-app subscription status). They may use the data only to provide their service to us.
• For legal reasons: when required by law, or to protect the rights, property or safety of our users or the public.
• In a business transfer: if Homieva is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, subject to this policy.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Data retention

We keep your information while your account is open. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal information within 30 days, except records we must keep for legal, tax, accounting or dispute purposes (such as payment and invoice records), which we keep only as long as that obligation requires. Documents you signed with another user remain available to that user as part of their own records.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time in the Homieva app under Settings → Delete account. Your sign-in, profile, saved signature, notifications and open job posts are deleted immediately. You can also email support@digitalsummitlabs.com from the email address on your account and we will complete it within 30 days.

Your rights and choices

You can access, correct, download or delete your information, and opt out of non-essential emails. Depending on where you live (for example, California and other U.S. states with privacy laws), you may have additional rights, including the right to know what we collect and the right not to be discriminated against for using your rights. To make a request, email support@digitalsummitlabs.com. We verify requests by confirming them from your account email, and we respond within 45 days.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest in Google Cloud. Project records (bids, estimates, contracts, invoices and payments) are protected by security rules so that only the people on that project can open them, and payment credentials never touch our servers. No system is perfectly secure, and we will notify you as required by law if a breach affects your information.

Children

The Services are for people 18 and older and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18; if we learn we have, we delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version here with a new effective date. If a change materially affects how we use your information, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
