Apple HomeKit

Controller for HomeKit interacts with Apple’s HomeKit Framework.

More information: https://www.apple.com/ios/homekit/

With granted permission, the app accesses your HomeKit setup to read and modify:

• homes, zones, rooms

• devices, services, service groups

• characteristics

• scenes

• time- and event-based triggers

Data is stored in the HomeKit database on your device. Synchronization and communication are handled by Apple’s HomeKit system.

AWS Server

We operate our own backend server hosted on AWS in Frankfurt. Stored metadata includes:

• room names, device names

• services, characteristics

• icons

• Home name

• workflow and backup configurations

• automation metadata

This enables synchronization across devices, advanced features, and optional sharing with other users. No personal identifiers are stored.

Mixpanel Analytics

We use Mixpanel to analyze how users interact with the app. Data is processed exclusively on EU servers under GDPR-compliant conditions.

Tracking is enabled by default and can be disabled by the user at any time in the app settings. No data is used to personally identify users.

StoreKit Transaction Data

We process anonymized StoreKit transaction data to assign internal UUIDs for license validation and access to Pro features. No personal data is linked or stored.

Notification Feature

To send notifications, a unique token is generated for each user. Notification messages are stored encrypted and transmitted securely via our infrastructure. The token can be regenerated or deleted by the user at any time.

Hub Mode and Workflows

Hub Mode enables the creation and automation of workflows based on device states, triggers, or schedules. Workflow metadata is stored on our server to support cross-device functionality and optional sharing.

If remote triggering is enabled for a workflow, a unique URL is created to allow external systems to trigger the workflow.

The last 25 executions of each workflow are stored on our server and made available in the app so users can trace the execution history.

Disclaimer: Users are fully responsible for the workflows they define. Controller for HomeKit executes workflows exactly as configured and assumes no liability for their effects.

Data Retention

We retain metadata only as long as necessary for the app’s core functions or until deleted by the user. Analytics data is anonymized and processed without identifying individuals.

Security Measures

All data is protected by technical and organizational safeguards against unauthorized access, loss, or manipulation.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• access your data

• correct or delete your data

• disable analytics tracking at any time in the app settings

To exercise your rights, contact: support@controller-for-homekit.com

By using Controller for HomeKit, you agree to the collection and processing of data as described in this Privacy Policy.
