This is a privately operated Home Assistant instance used to control and monitor smart home devices and home automation systems.

2. Information we collect

Depending on usage, this service may process:

3. Google OAuth

Google OAuth is used to authenticate users and control access to this Home Assistant instance. Google may provide basic account information such as name, email address and account identifier, depending on the permissions requested.

Personal information is not sold or shared for advertising. Data may be transmitted to third-party services when required by integrations explicitly configured in Home Assistant. Those services have their own privacy policies.

7. Data retention

Data is retained for as long as necessary to operate the service. The operator may delete stored data and associated account information.

8. Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect the service. However, no internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure.
