Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 1, 2026 · Effective: July 1, 2026

Hearth is built to serve your household — not to profit from your data. We do not sell your personal information to third parties, ever. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why, and how we protect it.

1. Who We Are

Hearth is an AI household operating system developed and operated by Eugene Ehis Uguomore, trading as Hearth HQ ("Hearth," "we," "our," or "us"). Our contact email is uguomoreeugene123@gmail.com.

2. What We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to provide the Hearth service:

We do not collect your location, contacts, microphone audio, or any data not directly related to your household management.

3. How We Use Your Data

We do not use your data to train third-party AI models. When your data is processed by AI (document extraction, Chief of Staff responses), it is sent to our AI providers (Anthropic and NVIDIA) under their enterprise data processing agreements, which prohibit using your data for model training.

4. How We Store and Protect Your Data

Your data is stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL), hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with row-level security policies ensuring only your household can access your data. Credentials are stored using expo-secure-store, which uses hardware-backed encryption on your device.

Hearth is built by a CISM-certified, ISO 27001-aligned engineer. Security is not a feature we added — it is foundational to the architecture.

5. Data Sharing

We share your data only with the following trusted service providers, and only to the extent necessary to operate Hearth:

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for commercial purposes.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, email us at uguomoreeugene123@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all household data — documents, bills, health records, smart home history, and analytics events — is permanently deleted within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

Hearth is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. International Data Transfers

Hearth is operated from Nigeria and serves users globally. Your data may be processed in the United States (where our cloud providers operate). By using Hearth, you consent to this transfer. We ensure all transfers are made with appropriate safeguards in place.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the product evolves. We will notify you of material changes via email or an in-app notification. Continued use of Hearth after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
