Lintel
Privacy policy
Last updated 8 October 2026
Lintel is an app for keeping a household's projects, repeating jobs and documents in one shared place. This page explains what it stores, why, who helps run it, and what you can ask for. Lintel has no adverts, does not track you across other apps or websites, and never sells your data.
Who is responsible
Lintel is run by Lew Jacklin in the United Kingdom, who is the controller of your personal data under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018). Contact: support@lintelhome.app.
What Lintel stores
Your account
Your email address, your name as you enter it, and a password hash if you sign in with a password. If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple gives us an identifier for you and either your email address or a private relay address.
Your household
Everything you and the other members add: the household's name and time zone, areas, things (such as a boiler or a car, with any make, model, serial number and dates you enter), tasks, repeating tasks, projects, materials and costs, notes, and who added, changed or completed each item. Everyone in a household can see and change all of it.
Documents and photos
Files you upload, such as warranties, manuals, receipts, certificates and photos, with their titles, types and expiry dates. Lintel only sees photos and files you choose to add.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, a push token for each phone (an address Apple issues so reminders can reach it) and your reminder settings.
Diagnostics
When the app crashes or hits an error, a report with the error, the screens visited just before it, the app version and the phone's model and iOS version. To measure speed, timings such as how long the app takes to open, with the device type, network type and a random identifier for the installation. Our servers log each request with its time, path, result and your account's ID. None of these include the contents of your household, your name or your email address.

How long it is kept
- Your account is kept until you delete it.
- Household items are kept while the household exists. Items you delete are hidden straight away but kept with the household so they can be recovered. A deleted document's file is removed from storage straight away.
- When the last member leaves or deletes their account, the household and everything in it is permanently deleted 30 days later.
- Push tokens are dropped when you sign out, or when Apple reports that the app is no longer on that phone.
- Crash reports are kept for up to 90 days, speed measurements for about 60 days, and server logs for up to 30 days.
Deleting your account
In the app, tap your initials at the top right, then Delete account at the bottom of the Household screen. This deletes your sign-in straight away and removes you from your household. What you added stays for the other members, no longer linked to you. If you were the last member, the household is deleted as described above.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to how it is used, or to receive it in a portable format. Email support@lintelhome.app and we will reply within one month. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Lintel is meant for adults running a home and is not directed at children under 13.
