Privacy Policy

1. General

Homi ("the Service"), operated by Shay Namir, respects your privacy. This document explains what information we collect and how we use it to provide our service-connecting Home Assistant to WhatsApp through natural language processing.

2. Information We Collect

• Phone Number: We store your phone number and user identifier (User ID) for WhatsApp authentication and to associate your account with your Smart Home system.
• Access Token: We store an encrypted access token for your Home Assistant server. The token uses the OAuth 2.0 standard and is used solely to execute commands you request.
• Message Content: Text messages you send to Homi are stored temporarily for up to 12 hours to maintain conversation context and improve your experience. After 12 hours, message content is automatically deleted.

3. Use of Information

We use your information solely for:

• User identification and authentication with your Smart Home system.
• Processing natural language commands and translating them into Home Assistant actions.
• Improving service quality, security, and resolving technical issues.

4. Sharing Information with Third Parties

We do not sell your information. Information may pass through the following third-party providers solely for service operation:

• Meta (WhatsApp): For receiving and sending messages (subject to WhatsApp's Privacy Policy).
• OpenAI / LLM Providers: For natural language processing (text is sent as anonymously as possible, without identifying details).
• Cloud Infrastructure Providers (Vercel/Cloudflare): For server hosting and protection against cyber attacks.

5. Information Security

We use advanced encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) for all communications. The connection to Home Assistant is established without opening ports, using securely managed OAuth tokens.
