Overview
This policy applies to Kazoku Shift – Pickup & Duty Sharing, provided by WorksBien Studios Inc. (“WorksBien”). You can plan your own shifts and, with a subscription, share availability and household duties with one invited partner.
Information kept on your device
Your shift times, types and notes, availability rules, drafts, notification preferences and language choice are handled on your device. Raw shift details, employer names and free-form shift notes are not included in records shared with your partner. Your device backup follows your iOS and iCloud settings.
Information shared with your partner
When inviting a partner, the app sends the entered email address to Apple CloudKit to look up the intended person; the app does not store it. When household sharing is enabled, display names, limited availability statuses and time windows, duty and pickup details, notes, assignments, handover requests and responses, and change history are stored in the household’s shared area through Apple CloudKit and shown to your invited partner. Availability reasons use limited predefined categories. Your full work schedule and employer details are not shared. Avoid putting sensitive information in duty notes.
Purchases and network services
Household Pro is an Apple StoreKit subscription. Apple handles payment, purchase confirmation and refunds; WorksBien does not receive your card number. StoreKit verifies the purchaser's transaction on their device. The app writes the household identifier, subscription state, check time, expiry and revision to the shared CloudKit record. The invited partner relies on this owner-reported status. WorksBien does not operate a separate subscription verification server. Apple’s terms and privacy information also apply to CloudKit and purchases.
Notifications, support and purposes
If you allow notifications, the app can schedule local reminders for duties assigned to you without including private shift details. WorksBien processes information as needed to provide the app, household sharing, entitlement verification, support, abuse prevention and legal compliance. If you contact support, we receive the email address, message and attachments you choose to send. The app does not use advertising tracking.
Retention and deletion
On-device information remains until you delete it, delete the app, or change your device settings. Shared information can remain in CloudKit until removed from the household’s shared area; deletion may take time to sync to a partner’s device. The owner-reported subscription state remains in CloudKit with the shared household information. We retain support information we receive only as needed for support and legal obligations. You can export information in the app. Deleting the app can remove local information, but shared CloudKit information may remain. Manage iCloud information and Apple-held purchase history through Apple's settings or support. Contact us below with deletion questions.
Your rights and children
Depending on where you live, you may request access to, correction of or deletion of information held by WorksBien. We may verify your identity. The app is not designed for children. If you enter a child’s name in a duty note, your invited partner can see it.
Changes and contact
If the app or applicable law changes, we will update this page and its date. For privacy questions, contact WorksBien Customer Support.
