Other Sites, Mobile Applications, and Services

The Services may contain links to, or content or features from, other websites, other Apps, and online services operated by third parties. These links are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. In addition, our content may be included on web pages or in mobile applications or online services that are not associated with us.

Security Practices

We try our best to provide you with leading security practices, like encrypting all requests via a secure connection (HTTPS) and all data are encrypted on the database and disks. However, no data transmission on the internet or on a network is 100% secure, so we cannot make a guarantee. Take as much care as possible to manage access to the computers and devices where you are logged in to our application.  

 Personal information HOMMA collects is encrypted and stored on a database with access controls such as limiting access to personnel who administer the system, and limiting database users to those who maintain the system infrastructure. These personnel are required to use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to get access to the database. 

Both you and we are required to use certain level of complexity of a password to access your account, using at least one lowercase, one uppercase, and one number.

For the door lock, the PIN code is stored on database and the door lock itself with encryption. This PIN code is kept encrypted while it’s transmitted from and to database and the door lock.

For system maintenance purposes, the personnel who administer the system have access remotely to in-unit technology. This connection is made on a Virtual Private Network (VPN), which is fully encrypted, and MFA is required to establish the connection to the VPN.

In accordance with Center for Internet Security (CIS)’s controls (https://www.cisecurity.org/controls), we implemented the 18 control measures internally. For the details, please contact privacy-notice@hom.ma.

International Data Transfers

We are headquartered in the United States and have service providers in other countries, and your personal information may be transferred outside of your state, province, or country to the United States or other locations where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your state, province, or country.  

Children

The Services are not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, anyone under the age of 16.  The nature of our services is for homeowners or leaseholders of homes.  As such, only adults are the intended account holders.  Minors should not have accounts.    If we learn that we have collected personal information of a child, we will delete it.  We encourage parents with concerns to contact us.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended version on the Services and indicating the effective date of the amended version.   We may also announce any material changes to this Privacy Policy through the Service. In all cases, your continued use of the Services after the posting of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your assent to the amended Privacy Policy.
