Our Core Promise
We do not sell consumer data.
Privacy is protected by design: we aim to collect the minimum data needed to provide safety alerts and product functionality.
Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how Augeas Technologies Partnership Company ("Stovyn," "we," "us," "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you:
- •use our website and online services (the "Site"),
- •use our mobile application(s) (the "App"),
- •use our stove-monitoring device and related services (the "Device"),
- •contact support or otherwise interact with us.
If you use third-party services through our Site/App (e.g., app stores, payment processors, cloud platforms), their privacy practices also apply.
Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information, depending on which features you enable:
1) Information you provide
- •Account/profile details (e.g., name, email, phone number, household nickname for the device).
- •Support messages and attachments you send to us.
2) Device and app information
- •Device identifiers (e.g., Device ID/serial, BLE identifiers), app instance identifiers, and general diagnostics.
- •Network and connection details (e.g., Wi-Fi status, connection timestamps, IP address when connecting to our servers).
- •App usage data (e.g., screens viewed, feature toggles) and crash logs.
3) Stove activity and sensor data
- •Thermal sensor readings and derived events (e.g., "burner on," "unattended cooking timer started," "alert triggered").
- •Configuration data you create (e.g., burner zones, thresholds, safety preferences).
4) Images/audio (only if enabled by you and supported by your Device model)
- •Camera snapshots/images related to stove monitoring (for example, to improve detection quality or to support troubleshooting).
- •Audio signals used for specific features (for example, whistle detection), if your model includes a microphone and you enable that feature.
Camera & Microphone Controls
Camera is not for surveillance
The Pro camera is for on-device detection models only. You can disable it completely via Camera Privacy Off in Settings.
Microphone is optional
We do not record, store, or stream audio. We only extract frequency peaks on-device; raw audio is immediately discarded.
Important: By default, we design features so that sensitive sensor content (like images) can remain on-device unless you enable cloud features that require upload. We do not intend the Device to be used for general-purpose surveillance.
5) Cookies and similar technologies (Site)
We may use cookies for essential Site functionality, security, and basic analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
