About your data
Last updated: August 3, 2026
This page says what Buhata actually does with your information. It is written to be read, not to be survived. If anything here is unclear, ask us at [email protected] and we will fix the wording.
What stays on your device
Buhata asks you to create an account before you start, so that your entries belong to you rather than to one phone. After that, everything you write is saved to your device first and syncs afterwards. That is why the app keeps working on a plane, in a basement, or on a phone with no data left, and why nothing you write is lost while there is no connection to send it over.
What reaches our servers
When you sign in, your app data is copied to Buhata Cloud so your devices agree with each other. That copy includes what you put into the apps you use: money entries and balances, tasks and appointments, meals and shopping lists, notes and journal entries, water, weight and workouts, habits, medication and appointment reminders, household members and children’s profiles, and your settings.
Your account row holds your email address, your name, when you registered, and whether you asked for product email.
How that copy is stored
Everything travels over an encrypted connection. Buhata only accepts HTTPS, so what leaves your device is protected in transit, and our hosting provider encrypts its storage volumes at rest. Your password is never stored: we keep a scrypt hash of it, which cannot be reversed back into the password you chose. Your app data itself is stored as a single block of text that our server does not read or interpret. What we do not do is encrypt that block with a key only you hold. It is protected by the transport, the storage and the account controls described here, and we could technically read it if we chose to. We would rather say that plainly than use a word that sounds stronger than the truth.
Who can see your data
Members of your household see what you share with the household. Nobody outside it does.
Buhata staff can see your account details for support: your email, your plan, which devices are signed in, when your data last synced, and how large it is. That is enough to answer almost every support question.
Staff cannot open the contents of your apps. Your notes, money entries, health records, medication lists and the photos attached to chores are not shown in any support tool we operate. There is no location history to browse: Buhata no longer stores any.
What you can do about it
- See where you are signed in. Privacy and data lists every device with an active session, and you can sign any of them out, including all of them at once.
- Take everything. One button downloads a file containing everything the server holds for your account.
- Delete everything. Deleting your account removes you from every household and erases your cloud data. It stays recoverable for thirty days in case you change your mind, then it is gone.
- Stop the email. Product email is off unless you ticked the box, and one tap turns it off again. Messages about your own account still send.
We send two kinds of email. Messages about your account, such as billing, security and policy changes, send to everyone because they are part of running the service. Product news and offers only send if you asked for them, and every one of those carries a one click unsubscribe.
What we do not do
We do not sell your data. We do not use it for advertising. We do not send your location to any analytics service. We do not read your notes.
