Privacy Policy

Welcome to WattWhizAI. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner. This privacy policy sets out how we collect, use, and protect any information that you give us when you use this application.

We may collect the following information to provide and improve our services:

• Account Information: When you create an account, we may collect your email address and name. If you sign in anonymously, a temporary, anonymous user ID is created.
• Home Details: Information you provide about your home, such as location (city/state), size, and primary energy sources. This data is used to provide personalized energy-saving recommendations.
• Utility Data: Data you manually enter or extract from uploaded utility bills (e.g., electricity, gas, water usage, cost, and billing period). This is used for historical analysis and savings projections.
• Live Analysis Images: Images you capture and upload for the "Live Room Analysis" feature. These images are sent to our AI model for analysis and are not stored long-term unless you choose to save the report.
• Usage Data: We collect data on your usage of specific features (e.g., number of AI prompts, analyses performed) to manage subscription tiers and feature limits. This data is stored locally on your device and can be reset.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate, and maintain our application.
• To personalize your experience and provide tailored recommendations and AI-driven insights.
• To analyze your energy consumption and project potential savings.
• To enable you to control and monitor connected smart devices.
• To manage your account, subscription, and feature access.
• To improve our AI models and application features. Anonymized and aggregated data may be used for this purpose.

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. We use Firebase, a Google Cloud platform, for secure authentication and data storage. Key points:

• Local-First Data: Much of your data, including detailed utility entries and usage counters, is stored primarily on your local device in your browser's storage. This gives you direct control.
• Cloud Sync: Key information like your home profile, saved reports, and subscription tier are stored securely in Firestore to allow for a consistent experience.
• Data in Transit: All data transferred between your device and our servers is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS).

You have control over your data:

• Access and Update: You can access and update your home details at any time in the "Account" page.
• Data Export and Deletion: The "Account" page provides tools to export all your locally stored data or delete it from your device. You can also delete specific monthly utility data entries.
• Revoke Access: You can revoke WattWhizAI's access to your Google Nest data at any time through your Google Account security settings.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
