INFORMATION COLLECTION AND REGISTRATION

To provide you with full functionality, certain features of the Fine Switchgears App may require you to register an account. During registration, we collect personal details such as your name, email address, phone number, and home address. This information allows us to personalize your experience, provide support, and manage your home automation settings.

Additionally, when you use the App, we may collect data such as device model, OS version, IP address, time zone, and usage behavior (e.g., page views, clicks, in-app interactions) for the purpose of improving app performance and user experience.

We do not collect sensitive data such as financial information unless directly necessary for transactions (and such data is processed via third-party PCI-compliant payment gateways only).

  • Internet Access: Required for app functionality, remote control, and data syncing
  • Notifications: To inform users about system alerts, automation triggers, or product updates
  • Storage/Media Access: To save user preferences, local automation configurations, or firmware updates

These permissions are used strictly for operational needs and will always prompt user consent before access.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our App is not intended for children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we learn that personal information of a child has been submitted without parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete it.

COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

While our mobile app does not use cookies in the traditional web sense, we may use similar technologies like Firebase, Crashlytics, or third-party SDKs to collect anonymized analytics for diagnostics, bug reporting, and user interaction insights. No personal identity is attached to these analytics unless explicitly consented by the user.

SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We employ industry-standard measures including end-to-end encryption, token-based authentication, and secure APIs to protect your personal data. Access to user data is strictly limited to authorised personnel for support and operational needs.

Our infrastructure is compliant with ISO 9001:2015 standards and is hosted in secure data centers with constant monitoring.

DATA RETENTION AND BACKUP

Your information is retained only as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Upon account deletion or inactivity, we retain data for a brief grace period (up to 30 days) for recovery or legal auditing. Backups may contain residual data that will also be purged in line with our data sanitization schedules.

ACCOUNT DELETION AND USER RIGHTS

You may request account deletion or data export anytime by contacting privacy@fineswitches.com, sales@fineswitches.com. Once verified, your data will be permanently deleted from our active and backup systems within 15 working days unless retention is legally necessary.
