Privacy Policy & Terms

What we collect

• Account info: the name and username you choose, and a securely hashed password (we never store your actual password — see "How your password is protected" below). If you sign in with Google or Microsoft, we also store the email address and account ID that provider gives us.
• Family & child info: your child's name, birthday, and avatar; whatever calendar events, care logs (food/sleep/medicine/potty), handoff checklists, moments, photos, ideas, Village contacts, shared expenses, and notes you and your co-parent choose to add.
• Nothing you don't put in yourself. TwoNests doesn't track your location, browse your contacts, or collect anything passively in the background.

Who can see it

• Only the people you invite into your family — your co-parent (full access) and any supporters you approve (grandparents, babysitters, etc., limited to whatever you specifically share with them).
• The developer (me — Sterling) can access the underlying database to fix bugs, respond to support requests, or investigate abuse, but doesn't read family data as a matter of course.
• Nobody else. TwoNests doesn't sell data, doesn't run ads, and doesn't share your family's information with data brokers or marketers, period.

Helpers (16+)

A parent can invite a caregiver aged 16 or older — a “Helper,” like a babysitter — to a limited, shift-scoped view: the schedule, essential care info (allergies, medicine, emergency contact), and care logging for the shifts the parent assigns, and nothing else. Helpers don't create their own TwoNests account and don't download the app under their own identity — the parent shares an invite code/link with them directly, and we only collect the Helper's first name. The inviting parent confirms the Helper is 16 or older and has their guardian's permission, and can end that access at any time. TwoNests never contacts a Helper directly, and Helper access is never available to anyone under 16.

Where it's stored

• Calendar events, logs, notes, and all other structured data live in a hosted Postgres database (Neon), encrypted in transit.
• Moments photos and videos are stored with our hosting provider. As with any online service, we recommend keeping your own copy of any irreplaceable photo or video rather than relying on TwoNests as the only place it lives.
• Your session (which family/account you're logged in as) is kept in your browser's local storage, not a tracking cookie.

Google & Microsoft sign-in

If you choose to sign in with Google or Microsoft instead of a username/password, TwoNests only ever receives your name, email address, and a unique account ID from that provider — enough to identify you, nothing more. We don't request access to your email inbox, calendar, contacts, or files, and we never post anything on your behalf. You can still set a regular username/password at any time from Settings.

How your password is protected

Passwords are never stored as plain text. Each one is salted and hashed before it's saved, so even in the unlikely event of a database breach, your actual password isn't exposed.

Children's data

TwoNests is a tool for parents to coordinate care for their kids — it isn't used directly by children, and we don't knowingly collect information directly from anyone under 13. Information about a child (name, birthday, care logs, photos) is entered by their parent, for that family's own coordination use only. The only under-18 access TwoNests offers is the parent-invited Helper role (16+), described above — a scoped, parent-controlled view, not an independent account.

Your control over your data

You can edit or delete anything you've added — events, logs, moments, notes — right from the app; that standard applies to everything. To delete your account entirely or request a full export of your family's data, email twonests@outlook.com.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will change and, where practical, active users will be notified in-app.

What TwoNests is (and isn't)

TwoNests is a care-coordination tool — a shared calendar, logs, and light communication space for co-parents. It is not a legal service, does not provide legal or medical advice, and nothing in the app constitutes or replaces a custody order, parenting plan, or court filing. For legal matters, please consult a qualified attorney; for medical concerns about your child, consult a licensed medical professional.

Helper access (16+)

A parent may invite a caregiver aged 16 or older (a “Helper”) to a limited view scoped to assigned shifts — schedule, essential care info, and care logging only, with no access to parent messages, records, finances, or settings. Helper access is parent-created and parent-managed: the inviting parent confirms the Helper is 16 or older and has their guardian's permission, remains responsible for that access, and can revoke it at any time. Access is time-boxed to the assigned shift(s), and Helpers do not create their own account. Helper access is not available to anyone under 16.

Service availability

TwoNests is built and maintained by a single independent developer. We work to keep it running smoothly, but like any online service it may occasionally be slow, unavailable, or interrupted for maintenance, and features may change over time. Please don't rely on TwoNests as your only record of anything safety-critical (like medication dosing) without also keeping your own backup notes.

Your responsibilities

• Provide accurate information about yourself and your family.
• Keep your password (or SSO account) secure, and let us know right away if you think your account has been accessed without permission.
• Use TwoNests respectfully — it's built for care coordination between people raising a child together, not for harassment, surveillance, or anything that would put a child at risk.
• Only invite people you genuinely want to have access to your family's information; a co-parent has full access, and you control what supporters can see.

Account suspension

We reserve the right to suspend or remove an account that's used to harass another user, misuse a child's data, or otherwise abuse the service.

Limitation of liability

TwoNests is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer isn't liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app, including data loss (see the note above about photo and video storage).

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated as TwoNests grows and evolves. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent version.
