We may collect the following:

• Your email address or phone number

• Usage data: schedules, toggles, automation settings
• Voice or text commands (only if you enable voice control)
  You can opt out of using these for recognition improvements in Privacy Settings

We do not collect sensitive personal data like government ID numbers or health information. You are responsible for keeping your personal data accurate and up to date.

2. How Do We Process Your Information?

In Short: To provide services, improve features, enhance safety, and meet legal obligations.

We process your data based on consent, contractual necessity, or legitimate interest, as permitted by U.S. law. We may use your data to:

• Create and manage your account
• Enable and personalize smart home functions
• Provide technical support
• Send service alerts and updates
• Improve voice recognition using anonymized, aggregated commands (opt-out available)
• Analyze usage trends to enhance your experience
• Comply with laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

We use differential privacy and on-device processing where possible to maximize safety.

In Short: We never sell your data. Sharing is limited to trusted entities and legal requirements.

We may share your information with:

• Authorized service providers, like AWS (U.S.) or Google Analytics
• Voice assistants, such as Alexa or Siri, but only when you’ve enabled the integration
• Legal authorities, if legally required or to protect our rights
• Successors, in the event of a merger or acquisition, provided the successor complies with this policy or an equivalent

Your data is stored in U.S.-based infrastructure with strong security and contracts in place to meet U.S. privacy laws.

4. Where and How Do We Store Your Data?

We store your data using:

5. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

In Short: Only as long as needed for service delivery or legal compliance.

• Usage data: retained for up to 12 months
• Account deletion: data removed within 30 days after confirmed request
• If deletion isn’t possible (e.g., in backup archives), data is isolated and securely stored

We retain information longer only if legally required or permitted (e.g., for tax, fraud prevention).

6. Do We Collect Data from Minors?

In Short: No.

Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their data. If we discover such collection, we delete it promptly and prevent recurrence, per COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act).
