Effective 24 September 2026 · Lyven is in a free open beta.
Lyven helps two-adult households share the work of running a home fairly. We take your privacy seriously and collect as little personal information as we can. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. It follows the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Lyven is operated by Wylliott Labs Pty Ltd, a company based in Melbourne, Australia. For any privacy question or request, contact us at privacy@lyvenapp.com.
It depends on how you use Lyven:
Your email address, plus basic context about how you arrived (which page sent you, and whether you're on mobile or desktop). We use this only to say hello, and to email you if the beta is full that day and a place later opens.
Your answers to the quiz (which household tasks you chose, who you said does them, and rough time estimates, no names are collected), the split it calculates, and the same arrival context as above. The Split Check does not ask for your email. We use this to show your result and to understand and improve the product in aggregate.
We also record a few things about the run itself: the country your connection comes from (two letters, never an address), which cards you skipped, whether you moved the "feels fair" slider, how long each step took, and which version of the quiz you saw. If you arrived from a link your partner shared, we store a code that links your two results so they can be compared as a pair. Before your result we ask four short research questions: your gender, your partner's gender, and the paid-work hours band for each of you. Every one has a "prefer not to say", and choosing it changes nothing about your result.
What we publish. We write about how homes really split, using counts and averages across everyone who finishes the Split Check. Nothing we publish can be traced to one household, and we never publish individual results.
The account email you sign in with and the household information you enter (your cards, lists, meals and so on), plus the same arrival context as above and, if you took the Split Check first, a link to that result. This is stored only to run the app for you and the people in your household, and is protected by row-level security so other households can't see it.
| Where | Our database is hosted by Supabase in their Sydney, Australia region. The website is served by Cloudflare. |
|---|---|
| On your device | The Split Check saves your progress and result in your browser's local storage so you don't lose them. That data stays on your device, clear your browser storage to remove it. Your browser also remembers where you first arrived from (the site that linked you and the page you landed on). That stays on your device too, unless you take the Split Check or create an account, when it's saved as the arrival context above. We don't use advertising cookies; the only analytics cookie is Microsoft Clarity's, on the home page and the Split Check (see Analytics below). |
| Security | Personal data is never readable by other visitors. Mailing list and Split Check submissions can only be written through a locked, validated endpoint and read only by us through an authenticated admin console. |
We use two tools to understand how the public pages are used. Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits across the public pages without cookies. Microsoft Clarity records anonymised session replays (scrolls, taps and clicks) and sets a small analytics cookie; it runs on the home page and the Split Check only, and what you type into forms is masked before it reaches Clarity. Neither tool runs inside the app itself, and we use them only to improve the site, never for advertising.
We keep mailing list and Split Check records only as long as we need them. Un-admitted list entries and un-converted Split Check submissions are automatically deleted after 12 months. If you become a beta member, your account and household data are kept while your account is active. You can delete your account yourself at any time, in the app under Settings, then Account, or ask us to. How deleting your account works says what goes and what stays.
We don't sell your data and we don't share it for advertising. We only use the service providers needed to run Lyven (Supabase for the database, Cloudflare for hosting, Microsoft Clarity for anonymised usage analytics on the public pages, and an email provider to send you messages). We may disclose information if required by law.
Email privacy@lyvenapp.com and we'll action it. If you're unhappy with how we handle a request, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
As Lyven grows beyond beta, we'll update this page and change the effective date above. Material changes will be communicated to people on our list.
