We provide end-to-end automation services — survey, installation, configuration, and ongoing support — for residential and commercial properties. When you use our website (getsmart.pk) or engage our services, you entrust us with your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect that information.

Our devices integrate with the Google Home platform. When you link your Google account:

• Your use of Google Home is also governed by Google's own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

We only request the minimum permissions necessary to operate the Google Home integration. We do not access your Google contacts, calendar, or other Google services.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information. Our platform uses encrypted communications and access controls to safeguard your data. However, no internet-based service is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your device credentials are stored securely and never exposed to third parties outside of the authorized Google Home integration.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, fulfill orders, and comply with our legal obligations. Order records are retained for up to 3 years for accounting and warranty purposes. You may request deletion of your account data by contacting us.
