Last updated on February 6, 2026Heat On Inc. ("Heat On," "we," "us," or "our"), a company registered in New York, United States, is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose information when you use the HeatVision iOS mobile application (the "App") distributed through the Apple App Store, and the related services we provide (including our web portal at app.heatvision.io) (collectively, the "Services").
By using the Services, you acknowledge that your information will be processed as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not want your information processed as described, do not use the Services.
App Store Privacy Summary (Plain-English)
We collect account and profile details, device and push-notification identifiers, basic usage/security logs, diagnostics/crash information, and heating system/equipment data tied to your account.
We use this data to operate the App (authentication, monitoring, alerts), keep it secure, troubleshoot issues, and coordinate repairs you request.
We do not use your data for advertising, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
We do not sell your personal information.
We share limited data only with (1) push notification services needed to deliver alerts, (2) infrastructure/hosting providers, and (3) repair technicians when you request service or warranty fulfillment, plus (4) legal disclosures if required.
1. Information We Collect
a) Information you provide directly
We collect information you provide when you create or use your account, including:
Account credentials: email address and password (used for authentication).
Profile information: first name, phone number, company name, and company address (used to provide core Services, including coordinating service/repairs).
b) Information collected automatically (device and identifiers)
When you use the App, we collect:
Push notification token: a unique identifier used solely to deliver transactional push notifications related to your heating system (alerts, status changes, maintenance reminders, service updates).
Push notification delivery involves transmitting tokens through Apple Push Notification service (APNs) and Expo's notification infrastructure solely to deliver notifications.
This token is not used for advertising, marketing, or cross-app tracking.
Device information: device brand, model, operating system version, and platform type, collected solely to ensure compatibility, support troubleshooting, and help enable push notification delivery.
Authentication tokens (JWT): stored securely on your device using operating system protected storage to maintain your login session. These tokens are cleared upon logout.
c) Usage and security data
We collect limited operational telemetry linked to your account, including:
Login activity (e.g., timestamps) to help monitor account security and detect unauthorized access.
Session duration to maintain service quality and reliability.
We do not use this information for advertising, marketing, or behavioral profiling.
d) Diagnostics data
We collect diagnostics data to keep the App stable and reliable, which may include:
Crash logs / error reports (which may include your account identifier, device information, and actions leading to an error).
Operational logs (such as API request logs and system events) retained for security and debugging.
Diagnostics data is used only to identify and resolve technical issues, improve stability, and maintain reliability. It is not used for advertising, marketing, tracking, or behavioral profiling.
e) Heating system and equipment data
We collect and store data associated with your account about your heating setup (for example, boilers, thermostats, and related systems), including:
Equipment monitoring data and diagnostics needed to provide system monitoring, automated equipment diagnostics, and failure detection.
Commands you send (such as changing temperature or system settings) which are transmitted securely to your equipment to perform the requested action.
This data is used solely to provide core Service functionality. We do not use it to infer lifestyle patterns or to build advertising profiles.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
Authenticate you and provide secure access to the Services.
Provide the App's core functions, including heating system monitoring, diagnostics, and failure detection.
Deliver transactional notifications (alerts, maintenance reminders, service updates) when you enable notifications.
Display and manage your account and profile within the Services.
Coordinate repair visits, support requests, and warranty fulfillment (where applicable).
Monitor login activity and operational telemetry for security and service reliability.
Investigate and resolve crashes, errors, and technical issues.
3. Advertising, Analytics, and Tracking
No advertising use: We do not use your information for advertising or marketing.
No third-party analytics SDKs: We do not use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, or similar) in the App.
No tracking: We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites, and we do not share collected data with data brokers, advertising networks, or other parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.
The limited operational telemetry we collect (login activity, session duration) is used internally only for security and reliability, and not for behavioral profiling.
4. Device Identifiers and Push Notifications
The App uses a push notification token and basic device information to:
Deliver notifications you opt into,
Ensure compatibility,
Support diagnostics and troubleshooting.
These identifiers are not used to track you across apps or websites and are not shared with advertising networks or data brokers. Push notification tokens are deleted from our servers upon account deletion or upon request.
5. Data Storage and Security
a) Local (on-device) storage
Authentication tokens are stored using operating system protected storage. They maintain your login session and are removed upon logout.
b) Server storage
Your account information, profile data, heating system data, usage/security data, and diagnostics data are stored on our secure servers. We use industry-standard security measures such as HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit, firewall protection, and access controls to limit access to authorized personnel.
c) Push notification delivery
Push notification tokens are transmitted securely and are used only to route notifications through APNs and Expo notification infrastructure.
6. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We share information only in these limited circumstances:

These providers may process data only to provide services to us.
b) Repair technicians (when you request service)
We share relevant heating system information and necessary contact details with third-party repair technicians solely to schedule and perform repair services you request. Repair technicians are contractually prohibited from using the data for any other purpose.
