Homey App

Overview

This privacy policy explains what data this app collects when installed on your Homey, why it's collected, and how it's used. This app is developed independently and distributed for free; it is not affiliated with Athom B.V. or the manufacturer of your device unless stated otherwise.

Data We Collect

To keep the app reliable and to understand how it's actually used, the app automatically collects the following technical data when it runs:

• IP address — the IP address your Homey connects from. This is used briefly to determine your approximate country via a GeoIP lookup (see below), and for basic abuse/rate-limit protection. It is not used to identify you personally.
• Homey firmware version — the version of HomeyOS you're running, so compatibility issues can be identified.
• App version — the installed version of this app, to track adoption of updates and bug fixes.
• App usage data — general, non-personal usage information (such as which features are used, error/crash events, and basic performance metrics) to help prioritize development and catch bugs.

GeoIP Lookup

Your IP address is sent to a third-party GeoIP lookup service solely to determine the country you're connecting from. This helps with understanding regional usage (for example, which country-specific device variants or regulations matter for the app) and with basic fraud/abuse detection. The GeoIP provider may briefly process your IP address as part of providing this lookup, subject to their own privacy policy. Only the resulting country is retained — the precise IP-to-location mapping is not stored beyond what's needed to perform the lookup.

What We Don't Collect

• No account registration, names, or email addresses are collected by this app itself.
• No precise GPS location — only a country-level estimate derived from your IP via GeoIP.
• No data from inside your home beyond what's needed to operate the app's core functionality (e.g. device states relevant to the integration).

How Data Is Used

• Diagnosing bugs and compatibility issues across Homey versions.
• Understanding aggregate usage patterns to guide development priorities.
• Basic protection against abuse of any backend services the app relies on.

Data is not sold, and is not used for advertising or profiling.

Data Retention

Telemetry data is retained only as long as reasonably useful for the purposes above, after which it is deleted or aggregated in a form that no longer identifies an individual installation.

Third Parties

Aside from the GeoIP lookup service described above, and any infrastructure providers used to host telemetry collection (e.g. server hosting), your data is not shared with third parties.

Your Rights

If you have questions about the data collected by this app, or would like data associated with your installation removed, you can reach out via the app's Homey Community Forum topic or the contact details on its App Store listing.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time as the app evolves. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
