Draft copy, pending Luke's approval.

Privacy

This page covers the contribution form and nothing else. A smart-home export can say who lives in a home and when people are in, so we keep as little as we can.

What you send

The email you give, an optional nickname for your home, and whatever you choose to contribute: an entity export, an overlay, census statistics, a confession log, or words. From an export we keep only each entity's id, name, device class and unit. Current states and other attributes are dropped before saving. Entity ids are kept on every domain. Friendly names on person and device_tracker entities are dropped, but other friendly names are kept and not checked, so they can contain a name (for example "Sarah's phone"). An export that contains an access token is refused.

Why

To improve the draft rules and the example gallery. Names and addresses are stripped before anything is used as an example. Your data is never sold and you are not added to a mailing list.

How long

Until you ask us to delete it. A purge window: DARK / TBD.

How to delete

Reply to the thank-you email, or write to the contact address: DARK / TBD.

Who else touches it

• Our hosting provider stores it. Region: DARK / TBD.
• There is no payment processor.
• Error tracking, only if it is enabled, and then named here: DARK / TBD.

The local runtime

Nothing from the local runtime is ever sent to us. Your token, states and history stay on your machine. Contributing is a separate act, and it is this form.

Who runs this

The legal operator and the law that applies: DARK / TBD, pending review.
