as it relates to their personal information and their homes.
We use the latest industry standard methods to protect your
data. We protect your personal information with physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures

and Server
The
personal information we collect is stored in secure databases
on secure servers. Our server is protected by firewall technology
to prevent unauthorized access to any information. Passwords,
names, and other information stored in our databases are encrypted.
Security
System
The
Connected Hearth Automation controller installed in our customer's
homes requires a separate Security Code in order for the anyone
to make changes to its security system (arm, disarm, etc).
This Security Code is also required to make changes to a customer's
security system through their Connected Hearth website account.This
Security Code is set by the customer and is not stored by
Connected Hearth, nor is it accessible to Connected Hearth
personnel.
Cameras
Customers
may at their option elect to have one or more IP or web-based
cameras in their home which are accessible through their Connected
Hearth account. These cameras can be configured by the customer
to require usernames and passwords different from their Connected
Hearth account username and password. Customer defined usernames
and passwords for their IP or web-based cameras are not stored
by Connected Hearth nor are they accessible to Connected Hearth
personnel.
Passwords
Customer
login requires a valid username and password. Separate passwords
are required by customers to affect their Security Systems,
and may be defined by the customer for access to any IP or
web-based cameras in their homes. We use multiple layers of
challange/grant authentication at our server and databases,
and at the customer's Controller.
Automatic

After five minutes of inactivity Customer login sessions are automatically terminated.
Firewalls
The Connected Hearth Automation Controller is protected by a firewall in the customer's home. Our server is also protected by firewall technology to prevent unauthorized access to any information.
