The short version: HASS Kiosk collects no data. There are no accounts, no analytics and no tracking. The app talks only to the Home Assistant server you configure, and nothing about you or your home is ever sent to Madhaus.
What the app stores
The app stores your configuration - server address, access token, dashboard layout - on the device only. It never uploads it anywhere. Deleting the app deletes it.
Where the app connects
HASS Kiosk makes network requests only to:
- Your Home Assistant server, at the address you enter, to read entity states, show camera snapshots and carry out the actions you tap.
- SimpleMDM, only if you deliberately configure the optional device-restart feature with your own SimpleMDM API key. If you don't, the app never contacts it.
There are no other endpoints. The app contains no third-party analytics, advertising or crash-reporting frameworks.
Optional features that write to your server
Two opt-in features publish data, and both publish it only to your own Home Assistant server, where you control it:
- Self-reporting can publish the kiosk itself as an entity on your server, with attributes such as whether it is active or idle, its battery level and its app version.
- Config sync can store your kiosk configuration as an entity on your server so several kiosks share one document.
Both are off by default and never involve any server operated by us.
The demo
Demo mode uses sample data built into the app and makes no network requests at all.
