Carried. Last updated 11 September 2026.
You can use Carried without giving us your name or your email. What you put into it belongs to you and stays inside your household. We do not sell it, we do not advertise against it, and we do not use it to train anyone's AI.
The longer version below says exactly what we hold, who else touches it, and what to do if you want it gone.
Carried is built by Tiarne Banks, a sole trader based in New South Wales, Australia. If you need to reach a person about any of this, it is tiarne@carriedapp.com.au and it comes to me.
This policy covers the Carried app and the website at carriedapp.com.au.
Carried signs you in anonymously. We do not ask for an email address, a password or your real name to use the app. What exists is an account number that identifies your data to our database and nothing else.
You can add your first name if you want the app to use it. That is optional.
Whatever you capture, which depends on how you use it. That can include tasks and notes, what is on your calendar, meals you plan, goals, areas of responsibility you share with a partner, your working hours, and the ages of your children if you enter them.
If you join a household, the other person in that household can see the things you share into it. That is the point of the feature, and it is worth knowing before you write something private into a shared list.
If you choose to use the cycle feature, Carried stores the day of your cycle and its usual length. This is health information and it is treated as sensitive under Australian privacy law. It is optional, you do not need it to use the rest of the app, and it is never sent to any third party.
If you turn on reminders, we store a push notification token for your device so the reminder can reach you. We count some anonymous usage events, like how often a feature is opened, so we know what is worth keeping. Those counts are not tied to anything you have written.
Carried is for parents and it is not designed for children to use. We do collect information that is about children, because that is what running a household involves. If you enter your child's age, or a task with their name in it, that sits in your household exactly like anything else you write.
We do not build profiles of children, we do not share anything about them with advertisers, and nothing identifying a child is ever sent to our AI provider or published anywhere.
Some parts of carriedapp.com.au work differently to the app, so they are worth setting out separately.
| What | What happens to it |
|---|---|
| Waitlist and meal planner | We store the email address you give us so we can send you what you asked for and occasional updates. You can unsubscribe from any email. |
| The Motherhood Load Survey | Anonymous by design. We do not store your name, your email address, your IP address or anything that identifies you alongside your answers. We cannot connect a survey response to a person, including you. |
| The mental load quiz | Your answers are not sent anywhere. They stay in your browser and disappear when you close the tab. Only your email address is saved, and only if you enter one. |
We do not sell your information. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use what you write to train AI models.
We use other companies to run Carried. They only get what they need to do their part.
| Who | What they handle | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | The database, sign-in and server functions. This is where your data lives. | Australia (Sydney region) |
| Anthropic | The AI features. When you use one, the text of that request passes through Anthropic to produce a response. | United States |
| Calendar sync, only if you connect it, and only the calendar you choose. | United States | |
| Expo | Delivers push notifications to your device. | United States |
| Netlify | Hosts this website. | United States |
Because some of these are overseas, using Carried means your information may be handled outside Australia. We choose providers that take this seriously, but their handling is governed by their own terms as well as ours.
These are design decisions rather than promises about the future, and they are built into how Carried works.
If you connect Google Calendar, Carried reads the calendar you select and writes events you create in Carried back to it. We ask for the narrowest access that makes that work.
Carried's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google data for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not allow humans to read it except where you have asked us to help with a problem, where the law requires it, or for security.
You can disconnect Google Calendar inside Carried at any time, and you can also revoke access from your Google account permissions page.
Your data is protected by database rules that stop one household reading another's, connections are encrypted in transit, and API keys are held on the server rather than inside the app. No system is perfect and we will not pretend otherwise, but we would rather tell you what we actually do than list reassuring words.
Most of it you can see and change inside the app, because it is your own screen.
One honest limitation. Because Carried does not ask for an email address, we usually have no way of knowing which account belongs to which person. That protects your privacy and it also means we cannot look your data up for you the way a normal service could. If you want your data deleted, email us from wherever you can and we will walk you through it from inside the app, which is the only place the account can be proved.
If you have connected a Google account or given us an email address, we can identify you by that and we will help directly.
Your household data stays until you delete it or ask us to. Email addresses on the waitlist stay until you unsubscribe. Anonymous survey responses have nothing attached to them to delete.
Tell me first at tiarne@carriedapp.com.au and I will reply within a reasonable time, usually a few days. If you are not satisfied with how I have handled it, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au or on 1300 363 992.
If we change it we will update the date at the top. If a change matters to you, we will say so in the app rather than hoping you re-read this page.
