Keel is a free, non-commercial tool for running a household — shared shopping lists, a kitchen inventory, and a personal budget. This page describes what it stores, why, and how to get rid of it. It covers the Keel website and the Keel iOS app, which share one account and one database.
Only what it needs to work:
- Your email address. It is the entire sign-in mechanism — Keel emails you a link instead of keeping a password.
- What you put in. Shopping list items, kitchen inventory and expiry dates, and — if you use the budget features on the website — the amounts, categories, and notes you record. Keel never connects to a bank and never moves money; every figure in it is one you typed.
- Your settings, such as your display name and timezone.
Keel does not ask for your real name, address, phone number, date of birth, location, contacts, photos, or payment details, and has no way to collect them.
- No advertising, and no advertising identifiers.
- No analytics or tracking of any kind. There is no analytics service, no crash reporter, and no attribution SDK in either the website or the app.
- Nothing is sold, rented, or shared with data brokers. There is no such deal.
- Your data is not used to train anything.
People you share with. If you join a household group, the members of that group can see what you put in the lists and inventories you share with them. That is the point of sharing, and it is the only way another Keel user sees your data.
The companies that run the infrastructure. Keel is built on services that store and move data on its behalf, and nothing else:
- Supabase — the database and sign-in system. Your data lives here.
- Vercel — hosts the website and serves it to your browser.
- Resend — delivers the sign-in emails. It handles your email address in order to send you the link.
Like any service on the internet, these keep short-lived operational logs, which include IP addresses, in order to run reliably and resist abuse.
You can delete your account yourself, at any time, from inside the app — no request, no waiting on anyone. It takes effect immediately and cannot be undone.
Deleting removes everything you own: your lists, your kitchen items, your budget records, your settings, and the account itself. Things you contributed to a sharedspace stay with the people you shared them with — an item you added to a household list remains on that list, with your name removed from it. Deleting your account should not empty someone else’s shopping list or silently change what they are owed.
For as long as you keep the account, because it is your data and you are still using it. Keel has no retention timer that quietly removes your lists. When you delete your account, it goes.
Keel is built for households and is not directed at children. It has no public feed, no discovery, no messaging with strangers, and no advertising.
If what Keel collects changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top moves.
