Permissions & Data Access

We ask only for what we need. Here's exactly what and why.

📷

Camera

Optional

Mobile / PWA

Why: Used by nestiq Vision to capture move-in and move-out condition photos directly from your device.

What we don't do: We never record video, access your camera roll without your action, or activate the camera in the background.

🖼️

Photo library

Optional

Mobile / PWA

Why: Allows you to select existing photos from your library to upload to nestiq Vision or attach to maintenance requests.

What we don't do: We only access photos you explicitly select. We never scan or index your photo library.

🔔

Notifications

Optional

Mobile / PWA

Why: Sends you rent reminders, maintenance updates, document alerts, and workflow token status changes.

What we don't do: We never send marketing messages without your consent. You control notification types in Settings.

📍

Location

Optional

Mobile / PWA

Why: Used optionally to auto-fill your emirate and area when setting up a new property.

What we don't do: We never track your location in the background. Location is used only when you initiate a property setup.

💾

Local storage

Required

Web / PWA

Why: Stores your login session securely so you stay logged in between visits.

What we don't do: We do not store sensitive personal data locally. No tracking scripts write to local storage.

🌐

Internet access

Required

All platforms

Why: Required for all features — document sync, rent checking, Nia, payments, and real-time updates.

What we don't do: We never make network requests in the background except for real-time workflow token updates when the app is open.

Third-party service permissions

NESTIQ uses these third-party services, each with their own permissions model:

  • Supabase Auth: Manages your login session. We store an encrypted session token in your browser's local storage.
  • Stripe: Handles payment card details directly in their secure iframe. We never see your full card number.
  • Anthropic (Nia): Your chat messages are sent to Anthropic's API. We do not send uploaded files to this API.
🔄

Revoking permissions

You can revoke optional permissions at any time:

  • Camera / Photos: Revoke in your device Settings → Safari / Chrome → NESTIQ → Camera
  • Notifications: Settings → Notifications → NESTIQ
  • Location: Settings → Privacy → Location Services → NESTIQ

Revoking a required permission (such as storage for the PWA) may limit functionality.
