Privacy Policy

Homebridge Nest pi-hub — a private, single-household application.

What this app accesses

When the owner signs in with their Google Account, the app requests access to the Google Smart Device Management API (scope sdm.service). It uses this only to read the status of, and send commands to, the owner's own Nest thermostat: current temperature, target temperature, and heating/cooling mode.

How the data is used

Thermostat data is used only to show the thermostat's state in, and accept commands from, the owner's Apple Home app. It is not used for advertising, analytics, profiling, or any other purpose.

Where the data is stored

The authorization credentials are stored on a Raspberry Pi in the owner's home. Thermostat readings are held in that device's memory while the app runs. No data is sent to the developer or to any third party.

Sharing

The app does not sell, share, transfer, or disclose any Google user data to anyone.

Google API Services User Data Policy

This app's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Revoking access and deleting data

The owner can revoke the app's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions, and can delete all stored credentials by removing them from the Homebridge configuration on the Raspberry Pi.
