1. Summary

ViMonitor helps you monitor whether your Viessmann heat pump gateway is online. The app stores account-related credentials and tokens on your device, uses them to call Viessmann's official APIs, and may show local notifications about equipment or connectivity status. We do not operate a ViMonitor backend that collects your heat pump telemetry.

2. Information the app processes

2.1 Information you provide

  • Viessmann Developer Client ID (and Client Secret if you choose to supply one)
  • Authentication through Viessmann's OAuth sign-in (your ViCare / Viessmann identity is handled by Viessmann)

2.2 Information stored on your device

  • OAuth access and refresh tokens, and related expiry metadata
  • Installation / gateway identifiers needed to query status
  • App preferences (for example monitoring enabled, check interval, failure threshold)
  • Local execution / activity logs generated by the app
  • Last known gateway status and related timestamps

Sensitive items are stored using platform secure storage / encrypted preferences where the app implements them. Activity logs and preferences may use ordinary on-device storage.

2.3 Information accessed via third-party APIs

When you use the app, it communicates with Viessmann Climate Solutions services (authorisation and IoT / equipment APIs) to sign you in, refresh tokens, and read installation and gateway online/offline status. Viessmann's own privacy policy and terms apply to their services and accounts.

2.4 Device permissions

Depending on Android version and settings, ViMonitor may use internet / network state, notifications, boot completed, and wake lock / foreground service related permissions as required by background work on Android. The app does not request access to your contacts, photos, precise location, microphone, or SMS.

3. How information is used

On-device data and API responses are used solely to authenticate you to Viessmann, schedule and perform status checks, show status in the dashboard, trigger or clear local alerts, and maintain a local activity log for troubleshooting.

4. Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. ViMonitor does not include third-party advertising SDKs in the current release. Data leaves your device only to communicate with Viessmann as required for the features above, and with Google as part of distributing the app via Google Play (Google's processing is governed by Google's policies).

If you contact us for support, the information you email us will be used only to respond to your request.

5. Retention

Tokens, credentials, preferences, and logs remain on your device until you clear app data, uninstall the app, or use in-app controls that remove them (where provided). We do not retain a separate cloud copy of your monitoring history.

6. Security

We use platform facilities (including secure storage for tokens) and HTTPS for API calls. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure; protect your device with a lock screen and keep the app updated.

7. Children

ViMonitor is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect children's data.

8. Your choices

  • Revoke access via your Viessmann account / developer client settings
  • Disable notifications in Android settings
  • Disable monitoring in the app (where available)
  • Clear app storage or uninstall to remove local data

9. International processing

Viessmann and Google may process data in regions outside your country. See their respective policies for details.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. The "Effective date" will change when we do. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy where permitted by law.
