Who this app is for

FosterDesk is an administrative tool for adult foster and kinship caregivers. Caregivers use it to track allowances, purchases, reimbursements, documents, renewals and appointments. Children are not expected to use the app or provide information directly.

Information you enter and how it is used

You can enter child or household codes, allowance amounts, purchase details, claim and payment records, approval references, agency submission instructions, and appointment or renewal details. You may also attach receipts and documents, including delegation letters. Some records may contain sensitive personal information. Use a child code where practical and enter only information you are authorized to handle for caregiving or claim administration.

FosterDesk uses these records to show balances, prepare claim packages, track payment and submission history, and manage appointments and renewals. The current version has no FosterDesk user account or cloud record synchronization. The app stores these records and attachments in the browser profile or installed web app where you enter them.

Receipt recognition runs on your device. The app can suggest receipt details from an image and extract dates or amounts from pasted text. Review suggestions before saving. The current version does not send receipt images, pasted text or delegation letters to an external AI service.

Camera, files and sharing

Your device or browser may ask to use your camera when you choose to take a receipt photo. You can also select an existing image or enter details manually. The app accesses the files you select for attachment or restore.

FosterDesk creates exports when you request them. An email draft opens in your chosen email app, where you select attachments, review the recipient and decide whether to send. If you import a calendar reminder, your calendar provider may store or sync it. Exported reminders use a generic title and omit child codes and document names. If you submit files through an agency portal or share them another way, the service and recipient handle the information you choose to send under their own policies.

The hosted website uses a hosting provider to deliver the app. The current web version also requests typefaces from Google Fonts. Those services receive ordinary connection information needed to respond to requests, such as IP address and browser information. Care records and attachments are not included in those requests. If you contact Pearlite for support, we use the contact details and information you provide to respond and maintain a record of the request. Please omit children’s names, receipts and delegation letters from support messages unless we arrange an appropriate way to handle them.

Retention, deletion and backups

Local records remain until you delete them or clear the app’s stored site data. You can edit or delete individual records where the tracker provides those controls. To remove all local data in the browser version, clear site data for FosterDesk using your browser settings. Claim archives may contain copies of receipts that remain in saved packets until you clear the stored records. For installed versions, check the storage controls for the specific app or browser profile.

Downloaded claim packets and backup files are separate copies. Delete them separately when you no longer need them, subject to your agency’s retention instructions. FosterDesk backup exports are unencrypted. Store them only in a location you are authorized to use. Restoring a backup replaces the tracker records in that browser profile.

Pearlite retains support correspondence while needed to handle and document the request and as required by applicable law. Pearlite cannot retrieve or delete records kept only on your device or copies held by your agency, email provider or calendar provider.

Your choices and privacy questions

You can decline camera access, enter details manually, choose whether to share an export, and remove local records as described above. Contact us to ask about our handling of personal information, withdraw any consent you have given directly to Pearlite where applicable, or request access to or correction of information Pearlite holds about you.
