Privacy Commitment
Last updated: July 2026
This is not a promise buried in terms of service — it is the technical architecture. The system is architected so that supported integrations transmit only encrypted metadata approved by the user. Video, audio, images, and raw content are not part of the contribution pipeline.
Why privacy is our entire business model
Much of the connected-home industry has told people privacy matters while building extensive data-collection systems. We are building the opposite. Our value comes from proving that meaningful, valuable data can be collected with full consent, full transparency, and fair compensation to the person generating it. If we violate that, we have nothing.
Privacy by Design
- Metadata is collected only from supported, user-authorized integrations.
- Personal identifiers are removed before contribution.
- Metadata is encrypted before storage or transmission.
- Users can disconnect devices and revoke participation at any time.
- Aggregated insights are designed so individual households cannot be identified.
What we never collect
- Raw video footage of any kind
- Raw audio recordings of any kind
- Facial recognition or biometric data
- Voice recordings
- Raw electricity usage data
- Raw water usage data
- TV content — what you watch
- Full name, address, or personal identity
- IP addresses in contribution records or customer-facing datasets
What we do collect
- Event type — motion detected, TV on, meter spike
- Timestamp — when the event occurred
- Duration — how long the event lasted
- Boolean flags — sound yes/no, person yes/no
- Zone label — front door, living room (you define these)
- Device type — camera, TV, electric meter, water meter
- Pseudonymous wallet identifier — used for participation and, if applicable, future reward settlement
Law enforcement
Because Flip House is designed not to retain raw video, raw audio, images, or raw utility measurements, those materials are not available in our systems for disclosure.
Requests for information can only be fulfilled to the extent data exists and as required by applicable law.
Your rights
You own your data. You can stop contributing at any time. You can audit every contribution we've submitted on your behalf via your Solana wallet address. We will never retroactively change what we collect without explicit opt-in consent.
