Privacy Policy for HA Widgets Pro

1. What the App Does

HA Widgets Pro is an Android widget app for connecting to and controlling a user's own Home Assistant instance. The App lets you configure widgets, display Home Assistant entity data, and send actions to your Home Assistant server.

2. Information We Handle

Information you provide

The App may store the following information on your device:

• Home Assistant server URL
• Instance name
• Authentication data, including long-lived access tokens or OAuth tokens
• Widget configuration data
• Selected entities, widget labels, themes, and refresh preferences
• Favorites, recent entities, and saved suggestions

Information from your Home Assistant instance

When you use the App, it may request data from your Home Assistant server, including:

• Entity names and entity IDs
• Entity state values
• Device or room labels exposed by Home Assistant
• Camera snapshots, if you use camera widgets
• Media metadata, if you use media widgets

This data is used only to display and control widgets for your Home Assistant setup.

Technical information

The App may also use standard device and network information needed to communicate with your Home Assistant server, such as:

• IP address or host name of your Home Assistant instance
• Network connectivity state
• Android version and app version for basic compatibility and troubleshooting

The App does not intentionally collect advertising identifiers, analytics data, or user profiling data.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information above only to:

• Connect to your Home Assistant instance
• Authenticate your session
• Display widget content
• Save and restore your widget configurations
• Refresh widget state
• Support widget creation, editing, and deletion
• Restore widget state after reboot or app update

4. Sharing of Information

• We do not sell your data.
• We do not share your information with advertisers or analytics providers.

The App communicates directly with:

• Your chosen Home Assistant instance
• Android system components required for browser-based sign-in or widget pinning

We do not operate a backend service for the App, so we do not send your Home Assistant credentials to our own servers.

5. Data Storage and Security

• Your data is stored locally on your device in app-private storage.
• When available, the App uses Android encrypted storage for sensitive values such as authentication tokens. If encrypted storage is not available on a device, the App still keeps data only inside the App's private storage area.
• We do not intentionally log authentication tokens. You should still protect your phone and avoid sharing screenshots that expose sensitive data.

6. Retention and Deletion

We keep data only as long as needed for the App to function on your device. You can delete your data by:

• Removing widgets from the App
• Removing the Home Assistant instance from the App
• Clearing the App's storage/data from Android settings
• Uninstalling the App

Because we do not store your data on our servers, there is no separate server-side deletion request process.

7. Children's Privacy

• The App is not intended for children under 13.
• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Third-Party Services

The App may rely on:

• Home Assistant, which you choose and control
• Android system services for browser sign-in and widget pinning

The App does not include advertising SDKs or third-party analytics SDKs.

9. International Use

If you use the App outside your country, your data may be processed on your device and transmitted to your own Home Assistant server according to your network setup.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and publish the revised policy at the same URL.
