Homebridge Nest Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
Purpose
Homebridge Nest is a private, non-commercial application used only with my personal Homebridge installation. It connects the Google Nest home and devices that I explicitly authorise to Homebridge so that I can use them locally in my home-automation setup.
Data accessed
The application accesses only the Google Nest home and device information authorised through my Google account and needed for the Homebridge integration to work. It does not intentionally collect unrelated Google account data.
How data is used
Authorised Nest data is used only to display and control the corresponding devices through my personal Homebridge installation. The application does not sell, rent, advertise with, or share this data with third parties.
Storage and security
OAuth credentials and configuration are stored locally on my Raspberry Pi. They are not stored on this website or in a public repository. The public site does not expose credentials, home details, addresses, thermostat readings, or other private information.
Retention and revocation
Local credentials remain on the Raspberry Pi until they are removed or access is revoked. Access can be revoked at any time through the Google Account permissions page, after which the application can no longer access the authorised Nest data.
Contact
Questions about this policy or the application can be sent to [email protected].
