Privacy policy
Home Control collects nothing about you. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking.
This policy covers Home Control and its companion apps Home Energy – Explained and Home Network – Explained, which are built from the same code and handle data the same way.
Your home stays yours
Your homes, rooms, accessories and their history are read from Apple's HomeKit and kept on your devices. What the app shares between your own devices — for example the Mac's weather readings, rules and alerts — goes through your own iCloud account (and, if you share your home, the family members you invite). The developer has no access to it.
Location, calendar and reminders
If you allow it, your location is used on your device only to tell whether you are at home, and only "home" or "away" is shared with your household through iCloud. Calendar events and your shopping list are read on your device to show them in the app and are not sent anywhere.
Services you choose to connect
Some features fetch data from outside services. They receive only what is needed to answer, never your HomeKit data:
- Open-Meteo — the weather forecast, earlier forecasts to compare with your weather station, and the solar forecast, from your home's approximate position.
- Weather warnings (SMHI, MET Norway or FMI) — warnings for your home's area.
- Electricity prices (elprisetjustnu.se, Energy-Charts, Tibber or Octopus, whichever you choose) — prices for your price area or account.
- Netatmo — your weather station's readings, if you sign in to Netatmo. The sign-in token is kept in your device's keychain.
- Your heat pump — Thermia Online or NIBE myUplink, if you sign in. The sign-in is kept in your device's keychain.
- Your UniFi router — read on your own network with a key you create; the key stays in the keychain.
Each of these has its own privacy policy. The app also checks captive.apple.com to tell whether your internet connection is up.
Children
The app does not collect personal information from anyone, children included.
