Last updated: April 14, 2026
Overview
IoT Parrot ("we", "our", "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.
Data We Collect
We collect only the minimum data necessary to provide the service:
- Account information: Your email address and authentication credentials, used to identify your account.
- Device and broker configuration: The MQTT broker connection details, device names, dashboard layouts, and schedules you create within the app. This data is stored in Firebase Firestore and is necessary for the app to function.
- Support tickets: If you contact us through the app, we store the content of your message and any attachments you provide.
Data We Do Not Collect
- We do not collect or store your MQTT message payloads on our servers. Messages are transmitted directly between your device and your MQTT broker.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
- We do not track your location.
- We do not read or analyze your IoT device data.
How We Use Your Data
