Privacy

Draft for review, 8 October 2026 — not yet in force. This is a pilot on a test server; it will change before anyone else is invited.

This page says, in plain words, what the House Book keeps about you and your home, who can see it, and what it never asks for. It covers starting or claiming a House Book, the people you invite, and connecting your own AI app. Your home's report is on Tasaab Homes, a separate site open to anyone; the House Book reads it the way any visitor does and sends it nothing about you.

Who we are

Tasaab LLC, in Washington State. To ask anything about this page, write to info@tasaab.com.

Public records we read

Your home's report is built by computer code from public records: the King County Assessor's parcel, building, sales and permit records, the city's code, and federal and state maps of flood areas, wetlands and geologic hazards. A model never decides a figure in it.

What you give us

Your email, to sign in: we email a link that works once, for 15 minutes. Your email is kept with your sign-in only — never in your home's record, which knows you by an id — and we email you only what you ask for: sign-in links, and notices you turn on.
Your home's address, when you start a House Book. We check it with the US Census Bureau's public address service (so the Census sees the address, not your email), and keep the address it matches with its state and county. Starting at your word is enough: the book is private to you. A verified owner badge, which matters only when you share the book, is earned by a check such as a code mailed to the owner on county record.
People you invite: the name you give them and their email. We never ask, and never keep, who they are to you. They sign in with their own email; you can remove anyone at any time, and their access ends at once.
Claiming a King County home by mail: we mail a card with a code to the owner's mailing address in the county's tax record — not to an address you type. We keep the code only as a salted hash; it lasts 30 days, and five wrong tries lock it.
What you save in your House Book: the things in your house, your notes, the dates you know, and photos — a photo only if you tick "keep".
Photos are read on your phone. To read a label, the page loads two open-source reading tools (Tesseract.js and ZXing) from cdn.jsdelivr.net; your photo is not sent anywhere to be read. Before anything else, the phone redraws the photo smaller, which also removes its location data.
Recall alerts. We keep a copy of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's public recall list on our server and check your things' brand and model numbers against it there. Nothing about you or your home is sent to the CPSC.
Providers you invite. A link or a code you show lets one provider add their work for one job: what they did, photos, the invoice. They can't see your records, the link ends after 14 days or when you end it, and nothing they send is kept until you keep it. The code is drawn on your phone by an open-source tool (qrcode-generator) loaded from cdn.jsdelivr.net; the link itself is not sent to it. We send no texts and keep no provider phone numbers.

What we never ask for

Alarm, lock or camera details; door, gate or garage codes; keys or passwords; where valuables are kept; whether anyone is home or when the house is empty; and anything about the people who live there — family, religion, origin, disability, health or money. The House Book refuses notes about getting into the house, and does not keep security devices at all.

Cookies

tasaab_owner keeps you signed in to your House Book, for 90 days.

It is only readable by our server (http-only). We use no advertising or tracking cookies. Each browser signs in on its own, including the browser inside an AI app.

What we record when you use it

Which pages of your home's record were opened, and when, and each decision about who may see what. This protects the record and lets you see who looked.

Who can see your House Book

Only you: the signed-in owner of that house. No buyer, agent or neighbour sees it. Later you will be able to choose, thing by thing, what a buyer's team may see when you sell; nothing goes on its own. Tasaab's operators can reach the server to run and repair it. We do not sell your information or use it for advertising.

If you connect your own AI

You can let Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini read your House Book and your home's report, and propose things for you to keep. It can't keep, change or remove anything, see serial numbers, or reach any other house. What it reads goes to the company that runs it, under that company's own privacy policy (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google). We keep which AI you connected and when, its keys only as hashes, and a count of what it did — which tool, when, and whether it worked, never what was asked. You can disconnect it at any time in your House Book, and it stops at once.

Where it is kept

On servers run for us by Fly.io, in the United States. A copy of your record and your photos is kept by Cloudflare (R2, western North America) so a broken server loses nothing; we check every week that the copy can be restored. Sign-in and notice emails are sent through Amazon (SES, in the United States), which sees the address and the message, as any email service does.

How long it is kept, and deleting it

Your home's record keeps its history: when you take something off your list, it leaves the list but stays in the history, so the house's story stays true.

You can delete your House Book yourself, at the bottom of your House Book. That deletes your things, notes, photos, what your AI proposed and your AI connections, and can't be undone. Deleted entries also leave our backup copy within 3 days. What stays: your claim of the house, public records and the report, the record of who opened what, and one line saying you deleted your House Book — the date, how many entries, and a fingerprint (a hash) of them, never what they said. To ask for a copy of what we hold about your home, write to info@tasaab.com.

Children

The House Book is for home owners, and not for anyone under 18.
