Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 20, 2026

Our Commitment: HomeMapper is designed with privacy at its core. Your smart home data stays on your device and in your own iCloud, never on a HomeMapper server. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal information.

Overview

Vault Hunters NM LLC ("we," "our," or "us") develops HomeMapper, a smart home network inventory application for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with our application.

Information We Do Not Collect

HomeMapper does not operate a server that holds your data. We do not:

  • Require account creation or login
  • Collect personal information
  • Track your location
  • Use third-party analytics or advertising services in the app
  • Transmit your HomeKit or Home Assistant device information to a server we operate
  • Store any of your data on a server we operate
  • Access or store your Home Assistant username or password (OAuth tokens only, in the Keychain)

Your smart home device information, room configurations, and network topology stay on your device and under your control. Some of this data also syncs across your devices through your own iCloud account, so your setup is consistent everywhere, and it is never stored on a HomeMapper server. See "iCloud Sync" below.

iCloud Sync

HomeMapper can sync part of your setup across your devices using your own iCloud. This uses your Apple Account and your own iCloud storage. No HomeMapper server is involved, and we cannot see any of it. Three kinds of data sync, each through a different part of iCloud:

  • Room order and Home Assistant connections. The order you arrange your rooms in, and the Home Assistant instances you have added (their address, name, instance identifier, and whether they are enabled), sync through your iCloud key-value storage. No Home Assistant passwords or tokens are included.
  • Home Assistant sign-in. The OAuth tokens HomeMapper receives when you connect Home Assistant sync through iCloud Keychain, end-to-end encrypted, and only when you have iCloud Keychain enabled.
  • Setup codes. The device setup codes you choose to save sync through your private iCloud database (a Pro feature). A setup code is the number printed on a device's sticker or box, your own data, stored in your private iCloud for multi-device synchronization and backup. It is never uploaded to a HomeMapper server.

Sync is automatic while you are signed into iCloud. You can turn iCloud Sync off on any device in Settings; this stops that device from syncing without deleting anything on it, in iCloud, or on your other devices. Restoring a backup makes that device's setup codes the authoritative set and updates your other synced devices to match.

You can remove HomeMapper's synced data from iCloud at any time using Delete iCloud Data in Settings. This removes the setup codes, room order, and Home Assistant connections HomeMapper stored in iCloud and turns iCloud Sync off on that device, while keeping the data on the device itself. Because another device with iCloud Sync on can upload its copy again, remove the data on each device to clear it everywhere.

Apple's Standard Services

HomeMapper uses Apple's standard frameworks and may participate in Apple's crash reporting service. If you have opted in to share crash data with app developers through your device settings, Apple may share anonymized crash reports with us to help improve app stability. This is managed entirely by Apple according to their privacy practices. You can control this in your device's Settings under Privacy & Security.

Website Analytics

This website (homemapper.app) uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookieless, aggregate analytics service injected at our hosting edge. It records page path, country (geolocated from your IP and not stored), browser, operating system, device type, and Core Web Vitals timings. Per Cloudflare, the service does not use cookies, localStorage, fingerprinting, or any persistent identifier, and does not track visitors across sessions or sites. The HomeMapper app itself sends no analytics.

Optional Diagnostic Logs

HomeMapper includes an optional feature that allows you to send diagnostic information to help us troubleshoot issues. This feature:

  • Is entirely voluntary. You must explicitly choose to send logs.
  • Uses email. Logs are sent via your device's email app, allowing you to review the contents before sending.
  • May include device information. If you choose to send logs, they may contain your HomeKit and Home Assistant device names and types to help diagnose issues. Home Assistant OAuth tokens are never included in diagnostic logs.
  • Gives you full control. You can review, edit, or cancel the email before it is sent.

We only use diagnostic logs you send to troubleshoot the specific issue you've reported and improve the application.

Data Retention

HomeMapper does not send your data to a server we operate, so the data on your device is retained locally for as long as you use the App, and you can delete the local copy by uninstalling the App. Data you sync lives in your own iCloud under your Apple Account; uninstalling removes the app's local copy, and you can clear the iCloud copy any time with Delete iCloud Data. Diagnostic logs you choose to email to us are retained only for as long as needed to investigate the issue you reported, then deleted.

Your Rights

Even though we do not collect personal information through the App, you have the right to ask us what we hold and request deletion. Because no data is collected or stored on our systems, in nearly all cases there will be nothing to disclose or delete on our side; data on your device is under your control through iOS settings and the controls inside the App. If you have questions, contact (see Contact Us below).

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident: HomeMapper does not "sell" or "share" your personal information as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act. We do not collect personal information through the App. You have the right to know, delete, correct, and limit the use of your personal information; because we do not collect such information, there is nothing on file for us to disclose, delete, correct, or limit. To submit a verifiable consumer request, email .

European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

If you are located in the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland: because HomeMapper does not collect your personal data or decide how it is processed, we are not a data controller for your smart home data. It stays on your device and in your own iCloud, under your control. Under the GDPR (and the UK GDPR) you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, the right to object, and the right to data portability; because we do not hold your data, in nearly all cases there is nothing on our side to act on. The one exception is diagnostic logs you voluntarily email us, which we process only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) to investigate the issue you reported; you can withdraw consent at any time by emailing , and we will delete the logs. For questions or requests, contact Vault Hunters NM LLC, 1209 Mountain Road Pl NE Ste N, Albuquerque, NM 87110, USA; you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Children's Privacy

HomeMapper is not directed to children under 13 (United States) or under 16 (some European jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from any user, including children. Because the App does not collect, store, or transmit personal data, it is safe for users of all ages, but parents who do not wish their children to use the App should manage installation through Apple's Family Sharing or Screen Time controls.

Data Security

HomeMapper runs on your device and does not transmit your data to any server we operate. Your information benefits from the security measures built into your Apple device, including encryption and secure enclave protection for sensitive data. Home Assistant connections are made directly to your local Home Assistant instance; that traffic is not relayed through any cloud server. The data HomeMapper syncs across your devices is stored in your own iCloud, protected by your Apple Account, and your Home Assistant OAuth tokens stay in the iOS Keychain (encrypted, hardware-backed) and sync only through end-to-end encrypted iCloud Keychain.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted to this page and the "Effective Date" above will be updated. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
