Who we are
Already Knackered is a small independent business based in the UK. Questions: hello@alreadyknackered.co.uk.
Photos of your rooms
When you snap a room, the photo is sent securely to our server and passed straight to our AI provider, Anthropic (the makers of Claude), so it can suggest tonight's idea. We don't store the photo on our server and we don't keep a copy. Anthropic handles it under its Commercial Terms of Service for business customers.
Your elf's photo, names and settings
Your elf's photo, its name, your reminder time, and any family details you add (children's first names and ages, pets, what the kids call the grown-ups) are saved on your phone only, in your browser's storage. They're not uploaded to us. Some of these details (names and ages, not photos of people) are included in the request to the AI so it can personalise ideas and notes, and aren't stored by us.
Please only add first names. Don't add photos of people: the app only needs your elf and your rooms.
Payments
Payments are handled by Stripe. We don't see or store your card details. Stripe tells us that a payment succeeded, plus the email address and billing country you gave them, so we can unlock the app and help if something goes wrong. Stripe's privacy notice.
Reminders
If you add the nightly nudge, it goes into your phone's own calendar. We can't see your calendar.
Cookies and tracking
We don't use advertising cookies or trackers. The app stores your settings on your device so it works next time you open it.
Children
Already Knackered is for grown-ups. Children shouldn't use it (it would spoil the magic anyway).
Your rights
Because almost everything stays on your phone, you can delete it any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings or deleting the app from your home screen. For anything we hold (your payment record), email us and we'll help. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
Already Knackered is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by any elf brand.
