Effective date: 8th August 2026
This privacy policy explains how the SceneGlow Android TV application accesses, processes, stores and transmits information.
SceneGlow is provided by:
AIGENUITY LTD
Company number: 16506716
Registered office: 14 Museum Place, 4th Floor, Cardiff, United Kingdom, CF10 3BH

AIGENUITY LTD is the data controller for personal data that it receives in connection with SceneGlow. This may include information contained in customer-support enquiries and, where the user has enabled analytics and referral measurement, limited application analytics and referral-attribution information as described in this policy.
SceneGlow is an Android TV application that creates screen-reactive ambient lighting using compatible lighting systems.
SceneGlow may control:
SceneGlow analyses colours displayed on the television screen and calculates lighting instructions based on those colours.
Depending on the user’s configuration, those instructions may be sent to:
SceneGlow is designed to perform screen analysis locally on the Android TV device.
AIGENUITY LTD does not operate a cloud service that receives or analyses the user’s screen content.
SceneGlow uses Android’s screen-capture functionality after the user grants permission through the Android system prompt.
Screen capture is used to:
Screen images are processed temporarily and locally on the Android TV device.
SceneGlow does not:
Captured frames are used only for immediate colour calculation and are discarded after processing.
The resulting calculated colour values may be sent to the user’s configured lighting devices or Home Assistant installation. These calculated values do not contain a copy of the original screen image.
Some protected video services and applications may prevent Android screen capture. This may prevent SceneGlow from detecting colours from that content. It does not cause protected content to be sent elsewhere.
SceneGlow may send calculated colour and lighting-control information to one or more WLED devices selected by the user.
Communication normally takes place over the user’s local network using WLED-compatible protocols, which may include DDP, UDP, HTTP or other supported control interfaces.
Information sent to a WLED device may include:
SceneGlow does not send screen images, video or audio to WLED devices.
WLED communication does not normally pass through servers operated by AIGENUITY LTD.
Some WLED communication protocols do not provide network-level encryption. Users should operate SceneGlow and WLED only on a trusted and appropriately secured network.
SceneGlow may connect to a Home Assistant installation configured by the user.
The user may be asked to provide or authorise:
SceneGlow may use the Home Assistant API or another supported Home Assistant interface to:
Depending on the implementation and options selected by the user, information received from Home Assistant may include:
SceneGlow should access only the Home Assistant information reasonably required to configure and control the selected lighting entities.
SceneGlow does not require access to unrelated Home Assistant information such as cameras, microphones, alarm systems, door locks, presence sensors or household activity unless a future feature explicitly requires such access and the user chooses to enable it.
SceneGlow does not intentionally collect or send Home Assistant history, automation history, location information, camera images, voice recordings or household occupancy information to AIGENUITY LTD.
Home Assistant access credentials may provide control over devices connected to the user’s Home Assistant installation.
Where SceneGlow stores a Home Assistant access token or similar credential, it is stored locally on the Android TV device and used only to authenticate communication with the user’s Home Assistant installation.
AIGENUITY LTD does not receive the user’s Home Assistant password, access token or authentication credential unless the user deliberately includes it in a support request.
Users must not send passwords or access tokens to AIGENUITY LTD.
Users should:
Clearing SceneGlow’s application data or uninstalling SceneGlow removes locally stored credentials from the Android TV device. Users may also need to revoke the credential separately through Home Assistant.
Home Assistant commonly operates on the user’s own hardware and local network. Where SceneGlow connects using a local network address, communication normally remains between the Android TV device and the user’s Home Assistant installation.
Users may instead configure SceneGlow with:
Where the user selects a remote address, SceneGlow’s communications may travel over the internet and may pass through infrastructure operated by the user’s chosen remote-access, hosting, DNS, VPN, proxy or cloud provider.
AIGENUITY LTD does not control those third-party services.
Users are responsible for ensuring that any remotely accessible Home Assistant installation is configured securely and uses appropriate encryption.
SceneGlow does not independently enable remote access to Home Assistant or open network ports on the user’s router.
SceneGlow may store the following information locally on the Android TV device:
This information is used to remember the user’s configuration and operate the lighting system.
SceneGlow may also store limited privacy and referral information locally on the Android TV device, including:
This information is used to remember the user’s privacy preference, process referral attribution correctly and avoid reporting the same referral repeatedly.
AIGENUITY LTD does not receive locally stored WLED configuration, Home Assistant configuration, authentication credentials or other SceneGlow operating settings unless the user deliberately includes them in a technical-support request.
Where the user has enabled analytics and referral measurement, limited analytics and referral information described in Section 11 may be transmitted to Google Analytics for Firebase. This does not include screen content, WLED configuration, Home Assistant credentials or Home Assistant entity configuration.
Local information can be deleted by:
Removing SceneGlow does not automatically delete information independently retained by WLED, Home Assistant or third-party remote-access providers.
SceneGlow generates real-time lighting commands from screen colours.
These commands may reveal limited contextual information, such as the approximate colours being displayed at a particular moment. However, they do not contain the original image or a playable copy of the viewed content.
SceneGlow does not send calculated lighting commands, Home Assistant entity information or WLED lighting information to AIGENUITY LTD.
AIGENUITY LTD does not use lighting commands to determine what a user is watching.
Home Assistant may record entity-state changes, events, service calls or logs according to the user’s own Home Assistant configuration. This processing occurs within the user’s Home Assistant environment or its configured services and is not controlled by SceneGlow or AIGENUITY LTD.
Users can manage Home Assistant logging, history and retention through their own Home Assistant configuration.
SceneGlow does not require users to create an AIGENUITY LTD or SceneGlow account.
AIGENUITY LTD does not maintain a SceneGlow user-account database.
A user’s Home Assistant account is separate from SceneGlow and is administered by the user through their own Home Assistant installation or chosen Home Assistant service.
AIGENUITY LTD does not create, manage or delete Home Assistant accounts.
Because SceneGlow does not create an online SceneGlow account, there is no separate online SceneGlow account that needs to be deleted.
SceneGlow may use Google Analytics for Firebase and the Google Play Install Referrer service to understand how the application was discovered, installed and used.
This information may be used to:
Referral information may include a campaign or referral identifier, such as the name or code assigned to a particular promotional source, together with information supplied by Google Play about the referral and installation.
Google Analytics for Firebase may also process technical information such as an application-instance identifier, application version, device model, operating-system version, approximate geographic information, first-launch and application-usage events.
SceneGlow does not use this analytics information to collect or analyse screen content, determine what the user is watching, collect Home Assistant credentials, collect WLED configuration, or build behavioural advertising profiles.
AIGENUITY LTD does not sell analytics or referral information.
Analytics and referral attribution are optional. Where required, SceneGlow will request the user's permission before enabling this processing. Refusing or later disabling analytics does not prevent the core SceneGlow lighting functionality from operating.
SceneGlow may associate an installation with a referral identifier for the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of that referral. This identifies the source of the installation; it is not intended to identify the purchaser by name.
Analytics information is processed using services provided by Google. Google may process this information in accordance with its applicable terms and privacy documentation.
SceneGlow may generate local technical information needed to operate or troubleshoot the application.
Such information remains on the Android TV device unless the user deliberately sends it to AIGENUITY LTD when requesting support.
Information voluntarily supplied for support may include:
Users should remove or obscure:
AIGENUITY LTD will not ask users to send their Home Assistant password or full access token through an ordinary support request.
SceneGlow is distributed through Google Play.
Google may independently process information relating to:
Where the user has enabled analytics and referral measurement, SceneGlow may also use the Google Play Install Referrer service to receive limited information about how the application was discovered or installed.
This information may include:
SceneGlow uses this information to determine whether an installation resulted from a particular website, creator, referral link, QR code or promotional campaign. Referral information received through this mechanism does not provide SceneGlow with the purchaser’s Google account credentials, payment-card details or Google Play order number. Google processes Google Play information under its own terms and privacy policy. AIGENUITY LTD does not control information that Google independently collects through Google Play or the Android operating system. The presence of Google Play or referral measurement on a device does not mean that SceneGlow transmits screen content, WLED configuration or Home Assistant credentials to Google.
SceneGlow interoperates with systems that are not operated by AIGENUITY LTD, including WLED and Home Assistant.
Depending on the user’s setup, it may also communicate through or interact with:
Where the user has enabled analytics and referral measurement, Google Analytics for Firebase may process limited application, device, usage and referral information for the purposes described in Section 11.
SceneGlow does not provide Google Analytics for Firebase with screen images, captured video, viewing history, WLED configuration, Home Assistant credentials, Home Assistant entity configuration or calculated lighting frames.
Google and other third-party systems may process information under their own applicable terms and privacy policies.
SceneGlow does not control how Home Assistant, WLED, individual smart-light integrations, Google services or user-selected service providers independently store logs, states, commands or other information. Users should review the privacy and security settings of the third-party services that they choose to use.
When a user contacts AIGENUITY LTD for help, we process the information the user chooses to provide.
We use this information to:
Our lawful basis is normally:
We do not use support information for unrelated advertising.
AIGENUITY LTD may process limited information associated with purchases, refunds, disputes or business records where received from Google Play or directly from the user.
This information may be used to:
The applicable lawful basis may be performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation or AIGENUITY LTD’s legitimate interests.
AIGENUITY LTD does not receive or share:
Personal data received through support, business communications, analytics or referral measurement may be shared only where reasonably necessary with:
Where Google Analytics for Firebase is used, only the limited analytics and referral information described in this policy is made available to the service.
SceneGlow does not provide Google Analytics for Firebase with screen content, WLED configuration, Home Assistant credentials, Home Assistant entity information or calculated lighting commands.
AIGENUITY LTD does not sell SceneGlow user data or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
Service providers acting on behalf of AIGENUITY LTD may use personal data only for the applicable service and must protect it appropriately.
Communications sent by SceneGlow to a user-configured Home Assistant installation, WLED device or remote-access provider are initiated at the user’s direction and are not disclosures by AIGENUITY LTD.
Some providers used by AIGENUITY LTD for analytics, referral measurement, email, hosting or business administration may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. This may include Google and Google Analytics for Firebase where the user has enabled analytics and referral measurement.
Where UK data-protection law restricts a transfer, AIGENUITY LTD will use an appropriate mechanism, such as:
Screen content and locally stored SceneGlow settings are not transferred internationally by AIGENUITY LTD because AIGENUITY LTD does not receive them.
Where a user configures a remote Home Assistant address or third-party smart-home service, their communications may be processed in another country by the provider they selected. The location and safeguards applicable to that processing are determined by the provider and the user’s configuration, not by AIGENUITY LTD.
AIGENUITY LTD does not retain:
This information is not stored on AIGENUITY LTD servers.
Where the user has enabled analytics and referral measurement, AIGENUITY LTD currently configures Google Analytics for Firebase user-level and event-level data retention to twelve months.
Google Analytics may retain aggregated statistical reports for longer periods because its standard aggregated reporting is not governed by the user-level and event-level retention setting.
Locally stored referral-processing state and privacy preferences may remain on the Android TV device for as long as SceneGlow remains installed or until the user resets or clears the application’s data.
AIGENUITY LTD does not use analytics or referral information to create a viewing history or behavioural advertising profile.
Support enquiries and voluntarily supplied diagnostic information are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
Financial, purchase and legal records may be retained for the period required by applicable law.
Information that has been irreversibly anonymised may be retained for statistical or product-improvement purposes because it no longer identifies an individual.
Home Assistant, WLED or third-party integrations may independently retain logs, history or state information according to the user’s configuration and their own retention practices.
Users control whether to:
Analytics and referral measurement are optional and are not required for SceneGlow’s core screen-reactive lighting functionality.
Where consent is required, SceneGlow does not enable Firebase Analytics collection until the user chooses to allow it.
If analytics and referral measurement are subsequently disabled, SceneGlow will stop sending new analytics and referral events. Disabling future collection does not necessarily remove information that was previously received and retained in accordance with this policy.
Screen capture can be stopped by:
Locally stored settings and credentials can be removed by:
Users should separately revoke any SceneGlow access token through Home Assistant when it is no longer required.
Users may also need to delete logs, entity history or credentials separately from Home Assistant, WLED or another service because those systems are not controlled by AIGENUITY LTD.
To request deletion of information previously sent to AIGENUITY LTD through a support enquiry, contact aigenuityltduk@gmail.com.
Deletion requests may be subject to information that AIGENUITY LTD must retain for legal, accounting, security or legal-claims purposes.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, users may have the right to:
These rights apply to personal data received and held by AIGENUITY LTD.
AIGENUITY LTD cannot provide a copy of locally stored SceneGlow settings, captured frames, Home Assistant credentials or Home Assistant entity information that it has never received.
SceneGlow does not require users to identify themselves to use analytics or referral measurement.
Google Analytics for Firebase assigns an app-instance identifier to an individual installation of SceneGlow for analytics purposes. SceneGlow does not associate this identifier with a SceneGlow account, because SceneGlow does not require or provide user accounts.
AIGENUITY LTD does not intentionally associate the app-instance identifier with the user’s name, email address, Google account or advertising identifier.
Because analytics information is intentionally collected without a SceneGlow account or directly identifying user details, AIGENUITY LTD may not always be able to identify a particular analytics record from a person’s name or email address alone. AIGENUITY LTD will not require a person to provide unnecessary additional personal information solely in order to identify them.
Where AIGENUITY LTD can reasonably identify personal data relating to a requester, the applicable data-protection rights described above remain available.
Requests may be sent to aigenuityltduk@gmail.com. We may need to verify the requester’s identity before acting.
Please contact AIGENUITY LTD first if you have concerns about how your information has been handled.
Users also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the United Kingdom’s data-protection supervisory authority.
Users outside the United Kingdom may also be entitled to contact the relevant authority in their country.
SceneGlow is not designed specifically for children and does not require a SceneGlow account or user profile.
Analytics and referral measurement are optional and are not required to use SceneGlow’s core functionality.
AIGENUITY LTD does not use SceneGlow analytics for behavioural advertising, advertising personalisation or the creation of advertising profiles.
Where consent is required and a user is not able to provide valid consent themselves, the appropriate parent or guardian should make the privacy choice on their behalf.
AIGENUITY LTD does not knowingly seek to collect directly identifying personal information from children through SceneGlow. If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information to AIGENUITY LTD, they may contact aigenuityltduk@gmail.com.
AIGENUITY LTD uses appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data that it receives.
SceneGlow users are responsible for maintaining the security of:
Users should use encrypted connections when communicating with Home Assistant over the internet and should not expose Home Assistant directly to the internet without appropriate security controls.
No storage or network system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If AIGENUITY LTD experiences a personal-data breach involving information that it holds, it will assess the risk and notify the relevant supervisory authority and affected individuals where required by applicable law.
Because screen content, SceneGlow configuration, WLED information and Home Assistant credentials ordinarily remain under the user’s control, AIGENUITY LTD may not be aware of incidents occurring solely within:
AIGENUITY LTD cannot notify users about an incident of which it is unaware and for which it is not responsible.
This policy may be updated when SceneGlow’s features, integrations, data practices, service providers or legal obligations change.
The updated policy will be published with a revised effective date.
Material changes affecting how SceneGlow accesses or handles personal data will also be communicated through an appropriate method, such as the application, Google Play listing or website.
If SceneGlow later introduces additional cloud processing, user accounts, remote control, cloud storage, crash-reporting services, advertising technologies or other forms of data processing beyond the limited analytics and referral measurement described in this policy, this policy and the applicable Google Play Data Safety declaration will be reviewed and updated accordingly.
