Your privacy is important to Cozify. We developed this Privacy Policy to provide you with information on how we process your personal data when you use the Cozify smart home hub, the Cozify app and other smart devices and services provided by Cozify.
“Personal data” is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Cozify is fully committed to support European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and this privacy policy is updated accordingly.
User tracking on website
We use Leadoo’s tracking service to follow what users are doing on the site and combine this behavioral data with other data we can gather from e.g. chat interactions. Leadoo uses etag tracking in order to hook together the same users behavior over several sessions. Please check out Leadoo Marketing Technologies Ltd’s Privacy Policy (https://leadoo.com/privacy-policy/) for more information on what is tracked and what your rights are.
Leadoo works as the Processor and we work as the Controller for the data in terms of GDPR. You can stop the tracking by emptying your browser’s cache after the visit. For more on how Leadoo works as a GDPR compliant processor, see https://leadoo.com/privacy-policy-processor/

Cozify Account Profile:
When you create a Cozify account, we ask some details about you and your home.

The legal ground for this processing is our legitimate interest in providing an effortless smart home experience. For example, time zone and approximate geographical location are used for automation based on calculated local sun set and sun rise times.
