INFORMATION WE SHARE

We share data inside Big Ass Fans with tools and people who are focused on improving the benefits of our products and services and to learn how to better market and sell. Like how we do things around here? The tools used to analyze the data are often developed or hosted by third parties through secure browsing sessions and/or encrypted data.

We limit data shared with any third party even if you connect to them through our apps. For example, if you sign up to connect your Haiku SenseMe fan with a smart thermostat like ecobee, then you can rest assured we do not share any data with the thermostat company. We do access your thermostat’s data to provide better thermal comfort and increased energy efficiency. This information is transmitted through secure connections. If you connect Amazon’s Echo with our awesome Haiku SenseMe fans or lights, we share the name you gave the fan with Echo so Alexa knows what you want when you say “Alexa – turn on the fan in Bobby’s Room.”

If you choose to have your products installed by Big Ass Fans or one of our trusted installers, we’ll keep things on lockdown by not sharing information about the products you purchased and any specific installation requirements.
