FamilezCommz is a private family board operated by REKKY Consulting LLC. This page says what is collected and how it is used.

FamilezCommz stores the notes, check-ins, plans, recipes, and photographs a family puts on its own board. It also stores each person’s name, username, role, and phone number, and the SMS consent state for that number: not opted in, waiting for YES, opted in, or opted out, with the time of that choice. One family cannot open another family’s board.

That information is used to run the household board, to show the family its own notes, and to send a text only when a parent has turned texting on and the person has agreed. It is stored on the FamilezCommz server, in the family database and the photograph folder. It is not kept only on one phone or computer. Traffic is encrypted when the site is opened with HTTPS.

The person who operates the server can open the database to fix a problem, make a backup, or answer a support request. Family notes are not sold, and the board does not carry advertising.

We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Stripe receives the email address used for the membership, a customer record, and the card you enter on Stripe’s page. The card number is not stored in FamilezCommz.

Twilio receives a phone number and the text of a message only when a parent turns texting on and a text is sent. That includes the one consent text that asks the person to reply YES, and later group texts to people who opted in. Telephone numbers saved for call buttons stay on the family board unless a text is sent.

A parent adds each person, including a child or a friend. A friend can be family. For some people, friends are the family they have. The parent decides who may have an account and which photographs are uploaded. Uploaded photographs and notes stay owned by the household. FamilezCommz does not claim ownership of them. Parents should agree among themselves before posting a child’s photograph.

After cancellation, the board stays available through the end of the paid period. Notes and photographs stay stored until a parent deletes the family. A parent can download a copy from the Family page before deleting.

Backups of the database and photographs are kept so a family can be restored after a mistake. Security logs record events such as a failed sign-in or a download. They are not a record of which pages a family reads.

To ask what is stored, to download it, or to delete it, use Ask a question at the bottom of any page. The steps are also on the text message consent page.
