Famoo privacy notice

Version 2026-11-02 (draft).

The short version

• Famoo is run by GEMINAI LTD. We are responsible for your family's information in Famoo.
• We keep it in London, on Google Cloud. A few things go to the US: your sign-in (Google Firebase), meal plans with your food likes and any allergies you choose to share (MiFooDo), and Learn searches. We protect those transfers with contracts the UK recognises.
• Parents are in charge. Only adults have accounts. Children are profiles a parent adds and controls.
• No adverts in Famoo at the moment. No adverts to children, ever. No tracking adverts. We never sell your data.
• If you buy Famoo Plus, Square takes the payment. We never see your card number.
• We do not use your family's information to train AI.
• You can see, download, correct or delete your information. In the app: Settings, then Your information. Or email privacy@gemin-ai.com.
• Unhappy with us? Tell us first. You can also complain to the ICO.

The rest of this page gives the detail.

1. Who we are

Famoo is provided by GEMINAI LTD, company number 13946343, registered office 69 Nethergreen Road, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S11 7EH. We are the controller of the information in Famoo: we decide how it is used, and we answer for it. MiFooDo, the meal-planning service inside Famoo, is part of GEMINAI LTD too.

Contact about your information: privacy@gemin-ai.com. Anything else: hello@gemin-ai.com, or in the app, Help, then Report a problem.

Data protection officer: Chris, one of Famoo's founders. Contact him at privacy@gemin-ai.com.

ICO registration: GEMINAI LTD is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office, registration number ZC288805.

2. What we hold, and why

The law lets us use personal information only for a reason it accepts. That reason is called a "lawful basis". Here is each thing we do, and ours.

Plan reminder emails are service messages about your plan, not marketing.

We do not collect your location, contacts, screen recordings or advertising IDs. We never look through your phone's photos: we only receive a photo you choose to add. We take no screenshots. We buy no information about you from anyone.

Food preferences. A parent who runs your home can tell Famoo what your home likes. Famoo keeps them in London; only the adults of your home can see them. With each plan, Famoo sends MiFooDo the cuisines you like and the things to avoid (never who chose them, and never a word that mentions someone in your home), and asks for vegetarian or vegan meals only when everyone eating that week is. Meat nights are not sent: Famoo swaps extra meat meals itself.

Allergies. You can choose to keep your family's allergies in Famoo, from the UK's 14 allergens. Allergies are health information, so:

• nothing is kept until a parent who runs your home ticks "I'm sharing these allergies so Famoo can avoid them". We record when, by whom and against which wording;
• only the adults of your home can see them: never the children, a helper or the kitchen tablet. Only add another adult's allergies with their agreement;
• unticking it deletes them all at once, and you can do that at any time;
• they are in your data download and are deleted with the person or your home.

Famoo warns adults when a recipe lists one of them, and refuses a meal you pick yourself that lists one. Famoo also sends MiFooDo the allergies in your home (never whose they are) with each plan, so it avoids recipes marked with them. MiFooDo stores them with the plan in the United States until the plan is deleted (section 6). Famoo avoids recipes marked with these allergens and warns you, but always check every recipe and product label yourself: it cannot guarantee a recipe is free of them. Other diets for health reasons are not used. If you type health details into a note, it is stored like any other note. Please avoid it.

School emails are not part of Famoo yet. We will update this notice before they are.

No decision about anyone is made by computer alone in a way that has legal or similarly serious effects.

3. Children

• Only adults (18 and over) have Famoo accounts. Each adult ticks "I am 18 or over" once.
• Children are profiles, added and controlled by a parent. A child does not sign up, does not agree to anything, and cannot buy anything.
• Parents choose what children see and what others in the home can see about them. Settings, then Who sees what, shows it.
• A child's date of birth or photo is added only by a parent who runs the home, and seen only inside the home. A child's allergies are seen only by the adults of the home, never by the child or on the kitchen tablet.
• Children can never turn on emails or "Help improve Famoo". The app will not let them.
• No adverts or offers to children, or on any shared or child screen. Ever.
• We never use children's information to train AI, and never name, quote or show a child in anything we publish.
• A child's problem reports are private to that child in the app.

There is a short explanation for children at the end of this notice, for a parent to read with them.

4. Where your information goes

We never sell your information or give it to advertisers. These companies handle it for us, under contracts that require them to protect it and use it only for us.

Services you choose to connect. These are yours, under your own agreement with them. We send them only what you ask.

• Google Calendar. Famoo has no access to your calendar unless you connect it. If you do, you choose which of your calendars to link. Your own calendars start hidden, and every linked calendar starts as "adults in this home" only; you choose whether everyone in the home, or carers, can see it. Famoo copies events from 3 months ago to 13 months ahead: the title (private and confidential events show only as "Busy"), times and whether the event has guests. It never keeps guests' names or addresses, descriptions, locations or attachments. Event titles may name people outside your home; they are seen only by the people you choose. If you switch writing on, Famoo can add and change events in that calendar; it never changes an event with guests and never sends invitations. We keep the connection key and the copy of the events in London, and delete them when you disconnect, hide or remove the calendar.
• Your own AI assistant (Claude by Anthropic, or ChatGPT by OpenAI). Only if you connect it, from your own account. Your assistant can then read, and if you allow it change, your family's information in Famoo when you ask it to. What your AI provider does with it is under your agreement with them, and may involve the US. You can disconnect at any time in Settings, then AI connection. We do not send anything to an AI provider on our own.

We may share information if the law makes us, for example a valid police request.

Outside the UK. Most of your information stays in London. Sign-in, meal-plan counts and Learn searches go to the US, protected as shown above.

5. Paying for a plan

If an adult who runs your home chooses Famoo Plus, the payment is made through Square. GEMINAI LTD sells the plan.

• Famoo never sees your card number. You type it into Square's own form inside the app, and Square gives us back only a reference to the card.
• We send Square the email address you sign in with (only once you have confirmed it), so Square can email your receipts, and a random reference to your home's plan, so a payment matches the right plan. We do not keep a separate copy of your email for payments.
• We never send Square your name, address, phone number, your children's details or anything else about your home.
• Reminder emails. The plan's terms promise reminders, and we send them: 7 days before your free trial ends; for the monthly plan, at least 30 days before your first payment at the usual price; for the yearly plan, before the 1 January 2028 payment. They are service emails about a plan you chose, not marketing, so they are sent whatever your email choices say, and only while the plan is active. They go to the email address Square holds for your receipts, sent by Resend.
• An admin's download of the whole home (Settings, then Your information) includes the home's Square references and plan reminders, never a card number. Square answers for the records it holds as a controller.

6. How long we keep it

7. Your rights, and how to use them

You can:

• get a copy of your information, in a form you can take elsewhere;
• correct anything wrong;
• delete your information;
• object to how we use it, or ask us to limit it;
• withdraw consent at any time, for anything that relies on consent.

How:

• In the app: Settings, then Your information. Download your data, or delete your account. An admin can also download or delete the whole home, or a child's profile.
• Privacy choices: Settings, then Privacy choices. One tap turns any choice off.
• Correcting: change most things yourself in the app.
• By email: privacy@gemin-ai.com, from the email address you sign in with.

It is free. We reply within 2 working days and act within one month at the latest. If we need to check it is really you, we ask straight away.

Children's rights. Children have the same rights. A parent who is an admin of the home can usually act for a younger child. An older child may act for themselves. If a parent's request seems to go against what a child wants, we think about what is best for the child before we act.

8. Adverts

There are no adverts in Famoo at the moment.

Our promise: no adverts to children, no tracking adverts, and we never sell your data. No ad networks, no tracking tools, no advertising IDs.

If we ever add sponsored offers for adults, they will be clearly labelled, only on adult food and shopping screens, chosen from what is on the screen, never from your history or anything about your children. We will update this notice and tell you in the app first.

9. Famoo on social media

Famoo has its own accounts on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. We post our own videos and pictures there, and a person at Famoo approves every post before it goes out. To post to Famoo's TikTok account, our posting tool connects to that one account through TikTok's sign-in. TikTok gives us a key for Famoo's account and the account's ID. We keep them in Google Cloud in London, use them only to send our own videos to our own account and to see whether each post went out, and delete them if we disconnect. We do not use TikTok sign-in for anyone else, and we do not collect other people's TikTok data. We count how each of our posts does (views, likes, shares, saves and comments, in totals) so we can learn what families find useful. These are numbers per post, never about a person. If you comment on our posts or message us there, the platform's own privacy policy applies. We use what you send only to reply. If you send us a family story to share, we ask for your written permission first, and we take it down whenever you ask.

10. Keeping it safe

Each home's records are kept apart from every other home's, and checked by tests every time the code changes. Information is encrypted in storage and on the move. The kitchen tablet cannot reach parent controls without a fresh sign-in. If something goes wrong that affects your family, we will tell you quickly and plainly.

11. Complaints

Please tell us first: privacy@gemin-ai.com. We acknowledge every complaint within 30 days, and aim to give you a full answer within one month.

You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, phone 0303 123 1113.

12. Changes

If we change this notice, we tell you in the app before the change takes effect.
