Famili is also available as a native app for iOS and Android. The following additional processing is relevant for their features:

Camera and photo library: To add documents and images to your family area, you can grant the app access to the camera and photo library. Access occurs exclusively after your explicit action and only for the operation you initiate; there is no background access. Selected files are transmitted to our servers for upload and stored in accordance with the "Document storage" section (AWS S3, Frankfurt).

Address book: If you want to take contacts over from your phone, you can grant the app read access to your address book. No synchronization takes place: only the people you select and confirm are stored. All other address-book entries stay on your device and are never transmitted to our servers. On iOS 18 and later you can limit access to individual contacts you release; the permission can be revoked at any time in your device settings. In the other direction, you can hand a Famili contact to your operating system's contact form or share it as a vCard file. Famili does not write to your address book itself: you confirm saving in your device's own form.

Login token: To keep you signed in, an authentication token is stored locally and encrypted in the device's secure key store (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore via Expo SecureStore).

Weather display: The home screen can show a weather forecast. For this, a location (coordinates) provided by you or your family is transmitted to the service Open-Meteo (Open-Meteo, EU). Your device location is only accessed if you explicitly agree during setup, in order to determine the location once. No location is determined in the background, and you can enter the location by hand instead at any time.

App stores: When obtaining and using the apps, Apple (App Store) and Google (Google Play) process download and — if enabled by you at the operating-system level — diagnostic data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We have no influence over this.

No tracking: The apps contain no analytics, tracking, or advertising functions.

Legal basis: Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) for upload and login; consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for the optional weather display and the system permissions, which you can revoke at any time in your device settings.
