HomeID Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice was last updated on September 16th, 2025.

The HomeID app (“App”) uses personal data collected or processed through the App, including personal data processed by any Philips kitchen appliance that you decide to pair with the App (“Device”).

The purpose of this Privacy Notice is to help you understand our privacy practices when you use our Services, including what information and personal data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it, as well as your individual rights. This App is under control of Versuni Netherlands B.V. or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries (”Versuni”, “our”, “we” or “us”).

Please also read our Terms of Use, which describe the terms under which you use our Services.

What Personal Data are collected and for which Purposes

We receive or collect personal data, as described in detail below, when we provide our Services, including when you access, download and install the App. We associate your personal data with unique identifiers.

Sensitive Personal Data

Before collecting any sensitive data, we will inform you and ask your explicit consent. Other than that, we ask you not to send or disclose any sensitive personal data (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious, philosophical or other beliefs, health, sex life or sexual orientation, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership) to us, in or through the App, or by any other means.

Account Data

We collect your personal data when you create an account.

The personal data we collect may include your name, email address, shipping address, country, language. We also process information on your App usage, including your session, login and authentication information, which we use to manage your account.
If you log in via social media, the personal data we collect may include your basic public profile (e.g., full/short name, profile photo, identifier, gender, profile URL, birthday, homepage, and location) and your email address, which we use for authentication purposes. In this case, your social media provider may collect information on the fact that you are using the App and logging in using your social media account. Please read your social media provider’s Privacy Notice (e.g., Facebook, Google, Apple) to learn about their privacy practices, including, what type of personal data they collect, and how they use, process and protect them.
We use your Account Data to create and manage your account and provide personalized Services. You can use your account to securely login to the App. If you create an account to login to the App, we will send you a welcoming email, to communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to send you strictly service-related announcements, or direct marketing communications in case you have opted-in. You may also use your account to consult your purchase history, order a product or service, participate in a promotion or game, participate in a social media activity related to a (Versuni) promotion (for example clicking "like" or "share"), and participate in product testing or surveys.

Because we use your Account Data to provide the Services, we consider this processing to be necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party.

Other Provided Data

When using the App, you can create a profile consisting of your name/nickname, a short description of yourself, your home country, your generated and favorited content and profiles you follow. We process these details together with your private settings including your preferred cuisines, unit system, Devices and Accessories you own and information we observe when you use our Services.

We use this personal data to provide personalized Services and suggestions and make you part of a community that shares cooking related content, where you can follow other community members with similar interests. We use your private settings in combination with your activity in the social community to provide you with a personalized experience of the App by presenting content that is most relevant for you, as well as sending you push notifications and/or In-App messages. These notifications or messages could contain content of third-parties that we have decided to partner with in the context of the App. We do this by analyzing the data collected and using specific recommendation and filtering algorithms.
In some countries, the Services include the ‘Community’ feature, which allows you to see recipes from other members in your country, share your own recipes and post comments. As part of the ‘Community’ feature (i) you will easily see the foods you prefer, and your Device (s) model (e.g., Air fryer model); and (ii) other users may see your username, country, photo, your connections in the App, and the recipes you store in the App. The App will show whether the ‘Community’ feature is available in your country.
In some countries (the App will show availability), the App also provides premium recipe content. This premium recipe content is available for purchase and will be stored in your account. You can view the premium recipe and in case you are interested, you can click on the purchase button. You will be redirected to a third-party payment service provider. Please note you need to be logged in with a registered account to be able to purchase premium content (to enable storage of the content in your account). After you have successfully followed the payment instructions, your purchase is completed, and you will be redirected to the App. There you can access your premium content, which will remain available to you in your account.

Because we use your Other Provided Data to provide the Services, we consider this processing to be necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party.

Device Data

When you decide to pair a Device, we will process its MAC-address. The MAC-address is required to support remote control and connectivity, and we may use it for troubleshooting and device analytics.

When you choose to pair the App with your Device, we collect device-specific information whenever you access or use the Device, including the unique user device number, country of your selection, time zone and session and usage data. For example, this may be:

Kitchen Devices:
- Depending on the Device model you use, the Device may record recipes and ingredients and send them to the App. We may use this Device data to allow you to control your Device and provide you with personalized nutrition services, including advice and tips via In-App messages and/or push notifications. We may also use this Device data to perform analytics (e.g. to learn about the use of our Devices during which times of the day) and to present you matching accessories and content.
Coffee machines:
- Cycle information,
- Water Levels and Usage information,
- Coffee beans and brewing information, Aquaclean filter usage information.

We use your Device Data to provide you with personalized services for all coffee related consumables, including recording your Device Data for purposes of Amazon Replenishment Services, as detailed further below.

Air Purifier Devices:
- Device Data, including Device ID, running mode, power on/off, fan speed, scheduler, and control commands.
- General Air Quality Data, including Indoor Allergen Index, PM2.5, temperature, gas and humidity level.

We may use this data to provide the Services, make the Device aware of its environment, improve our Devices and Services, and allow you to get engaged with the Device and its services.

Because your Device(s) Data are only processed when you choose to pair your Device(s) with the App for purposes of the Services, we consider this processing to be necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party and/or based on legitimate interest.

Marketing & Analytics

When you sign up to receive our marketing, we will send you our marketing communications, such as newsletters, offers, promotions, invitations etc. Consumers who have opted in, may receive special benefits from us from time to time (incentives, discounts, cashback offer, etc.). You can opt out from our marketing (unsubscribe) at any time.

If you have opted in and no longer want to receive marketing-related communication from us, you may opt-out by clicking the unsubscribe button at the bottom of each promotional email you receive from us.

When you have opted in, we may use your data for marketing purposes, including retargeting and displaying personalised advertising across various media platforms based on your interactions with our websites and our mobile apps. For example, we may serve a promotion for an accessory to you, which is connected to a Philips device you already own.

We may also use your hashed and encrypted email address to identify and reach potential new customers who may share interests and/or behaviour similar to yours. We do so, for example, by creating segments and audiences and sharing this with platforms like Google, Meta or Amazon, where they can identify so-called lookalikes. With the support of Google, Meta or Amazon functionality, our ads are displayed to users in these audiences. It is a way to increase the efficiency of our marketing effort.

We aim to analyze the data of our consumers with the overall goal of enhancing our products and services, optimizing the user experience, and refining our marketing strategies.
For sending you our (personalized) marketing, processing your data is based on your consent.

The App may request your permission to access your mobile device’s storage capabilities, sensors or other features (e.g. photos, agenda, contacts, camera, Wi-Fi, geo-location, or Bluetooth). We require access when strictly necessary to provide the Services as detailed below.

Bluetooth and WIFI. The App requires WIFI connection to connect to the internet. The App also needs Bluetooth/WIFI to connect your Device(s) to the App. You can at any time block Bluetooth/WIFI connection through the settings of the mobile device.
Location. For some Device models, Android operating systems require coarse geo-graphic location to connect to the Device. iOS operating systems also require geo-location to recognize when the App and the Device are nearby. However, Versuni will not process such data in any manner. The data will remain in your mobile device where Versuni will not have access to it. You can at any time block geo-location collection through the settings of the mobile device.
Files. The App requires access to the mobile device's files to store the language configurations and other files that the App uses to operate (e.g., manuals, recipes, graphics, media files, or other large program assets). If you delete the App, the Files will be deleted from your mobile device.
Photos and Media. If you add a profile picture to your profile, the App requires permission to access your mobile device's camera or photo gallery. Android operating systems may request permission for Videos, however, the App will only use the permission to allow you to upload your picture. If your device supports the food recognition service, the App also requires permission to access your mobile device´s camera to scan special food types. Only a limited number of food types will be recognized. Filming anything else will result in an error message. For this service no data will be collected or saved.
Sometimes a permission is a technical precondition of the operating system of your mobile device. In such case, the App may ask your permission to access a certain sensor or data, however we will not collect such data, unless required to provide the Services.

Air Purifier Permissions :

Weather and Air Quality information. When enabling this permission, the App shares your geo-location data (based on GPS, latitude and longitude) with a third party to provide you with a location map with air quality information in the Homepage of the App. This third party is AirMatters.

Please note, concerning possible third-party advertising in the App we do not share your personal data with these partners. Even if you opt in to receive marketing and if you allow all Cookies, we do not share your personal data with the advertising third-party. What we do is analyze the effectiveness of such partnership campaigns and inform our partners on the effectiveness (e.g. how many App users have clicked on the ad, how many App users have invoked the offer). We are able to analyze this from reviewing the App usage and when you accept the Branch Metrics Cookie mentioned before. The external reporting of this effectiveness study is happening on an aggregated basis only, which means that our partner – the third-party – will not be able to redirect this information to any individual App user.

Versuni sometimes sells a business or a part of a business to another company. Such a transfer of ownership could include the transfer of your personal data directly related to that business, to the purchasing company. All of our rights and obligations under our Privacy Notice are freely assignable by Versuni to any of our affiliates, in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, or by operation of law or otherwise, and we may transfer your personal data to any of our affiliates, successor entities, or new owner.

Depending on the Device model you use, the Kitchen Plus Skill/Coffee Plus Skill (“Skill”) allows you to control your Device and obtain information via Amazon Alexa.

When you speak to Alexa, Amazon sends a written version of your voice commands to Versuni together with a unique identifier. We process this information to execute your commands and issue a response in accordance with our Privacy Notice.
