Privacy & Data Ownership
Last Updated: February 2026
1. Data Sovereignty
Unlike traditional "Cloud-First" IoT companies, IoTouch is built on a "Local-First" architecture. Your Gateway processes all sensor data within your own network. You have the Mastery to decide if and when that data ever leaves your building.
2. What We Collect
To provide our services, we only collect what is strictly necessary:
- Account Information: Name and email for portal access and subscription management.
- System Metadata: Hub health status to ensure your "Brain" is functioning correctly.
- Sensor Data (Optional): Only if you choose an Expansion or Professional tier, we securely sync your history to the IoTouch Cloud for remote access.
3. Freedom to Export
You are never locked in. One of our core values is the Freedom to take your data elsewhere. You can export your entire history in CSV or JSON formats directly from the Portal at any time.
4. Security Measures
We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit. Our UK-based engineering team regularly audits our Gateway firmware to ensure your local network remains your private fortress.
5. Your Rights (GDPR)
As a UK-engineered company, we fully adhere to GDPR standards. You have the right to access, rectify, or delete your data at any moment. For any data-related inquiries, please contact our Data Protection Officer.
