2. Information We Collect

Account information: Your email address and a hashed password (if you sign up with email), or your name and email from Google or Microsoft if you use those to sign in.

Property information: Details you enter about your home — property name, home type, year built, square footage, roof type, exterior type, HVAC systems, and climate zone. This data is used solely to generate and prioritize maintenance tasks for you.

Task data: Maintenance tasks you create or that are generated from your property profile, including completion dates and notes.
