Boaz Smart Co., Ltd. ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains how the Phoebe Connected Home mobile app ("the App") collects, processes and uses personal data.
| Category | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account data | Email address or mobile phone number, password (stored only as a hash), nickname, country | To create and verify your account and let you sign in |
| Profile photo | A photo you choose to take or pick from your library | To show on your profile |
| Location | Approximate or precise coordinates from your device | To fill in the address when you set up a home, and to get local weather for your automations |
| Device and smart-home data | The homes, floors, rooms and devices you add, device names and on/off state, scenes and automations | To provide the core smart-home control and automation features |
| Push identifier | Firebase Cloud Messaging token | To send notifications such as device status changes and automation results |
| Activity log | Times of device control and automation runs | To provide usage history and troubleshooting |
The App asks for your location only while you are using it, and only once, when you add or edit a home. The App does not track your location in the background and does not use location data for advertising or analytics. You can turn location permission off at any time in your device's Settings; you can then type the home address by hand and every other feature keeps working.
The App accesses the camera or photo library only when you choose to set a profile photo or a scene picture, and only the single photo you select. It does not read, scan or upload anything else in your library.

We do not sell, rent or otherwise provide your personal data to third parties for marketing. We disclose data only:
Your data is stored on our servers in Taiwan. All communication between the App and our servers is encrypted with HTTPS (TLS). Passwords are stored only as one-way bcrypt hashes, so we cannot recover your original password.
You can delete your account and its data yourself, inside the App: open Manage → Settings → Account & Security → Delete Account, confirm, and enter your password. Deleting your account permanently removes your personal data and the homes you own, together with their floors, rooms, scenes and automations. Devices in those homes are unlinked and can be paired again. If you are only a member of a home, only your membership is removed and the home stays with its owner. This cannot be undone.
Under Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act, and under the laws that apply where you live, you may also ask to access, copy, correct or supplement your data, or ask us to stop processing it. Some of these can be done in the App (for example changing your nickname, profile photo or password). For anything else, contact us using the details below and we will respond within 30 days.
The App is not designed for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has provided personal data without a guardian's consent, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
If we change this policy we will post the changes on this page and update the "Last updated" date above. We will also notify you in the App about material changes.
