Privacy & Terms

The plain-English version of how Stell handles your data and the terms of using it. Two short sections, no surprises.

Privacy

The short version: we collect what we need to make Stell work, nothing else, and we don't sell or share it.

What we collect

Your email and name when you sign up, whether via email/password or Google.
The home info you enter: name, year built, ZIP code, home type, and any notes you add.
The tasks and categories you create, with due dates, cadence, and completion history.
A small session cookie to keep you signed in.

What we don't

No location tracking, no behavioral analytics, no advertising trackers.
No selling or renting your data to third parties for marketing.
No training AI models on what you put in here.

Who touches your data

A few services we rely on to run Stell. Each is a paid, reputable vendor operating under its own privacy terms.

Neon stores the database.
Vercel hosts the app.
Resend sends reminder and digest emails.
Google handles authentication if you sign in with Google. We only receive your name and email from Google.

That's the full list. If we add a vendor that touches your data, we'll update this page.

How long we keep it

As long as your account exists. Delete your account and the data is removed within 30 days, except for short-lived database backups that age out on their own.

Your rights

Download a copy of your data any time from Settings, under “Your data.” You can delete your account from the same page. For anything else, like corrections or questions, email hello@stellhome.com and we'll handle it.

Kids

Stell isn't designed for anyone under 13. Don't create an account on behalf of a child.

Changes

If we change anything that materially affects how we handle your data, we'll email you before it takes effect.

Terms

The short version: use Stell to keep on top of your home, don't abuse the service, and treat the reminders as helpful nudges rather than professional advice.

What Stell is

A timeline that helps you stay on top of home maintenance. It includes general suggestions about typical lifespans of household systems. It's not a professional inspection, a warranty, or a substitute for getting a real expert when something needs real expertise. Use your judgment, and call a pro for the actual work.

Your data is yours

You own what you put in. We don't sell it, share it, or train anything on it. You can export or delete it any time.

Your account

Use a real email so we can reach you about your account. Keep your password to yourself. If you share a property with someone, anyone with the invite link can join, so share it carefully.

Use it well

Don't use Stell to spam other people, scrape the service, attempt to access accounts that aren't yours, or anything else you'd be embarrassed to explain. We can suspend accounts that do.

Provided as-is

Stell is offered without warranty of any kind. We do our best to keep it running and accurate, but things go wrong sometimes. If a reminder is late, a date is off, or the service is unavailable, we're not on the hook for damages.

Liability

To the extent allowed by law, our total liability to you is capped at the fees you've paid us in the past twelve months.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

Updates

We may revise these terms over time. If anything material changes, we'll email you. Continuing to use Stell after that means you accept the new version.
