| Terms acceptance timestamp           | Proof you agreed to Terms and inverter control clause |

## Inverter control

When the smart scheduler or manual override is enabled, PilotWatt sends
schedule and work-mode commands to your FoxESS inverter via the FoxESS
Cloud API. See [Terms of Service](/reference/terms) for the full alpha
inverter control clause.

## What we do not store

* FoxESS or Octopus passwords
* Long-term granular consumption beyond what APIs return for earnings / detection
* Precise GPS — town/postcode level for forecast only

## Where data lives

* **Neon Postgres** — EU (London region)
* **Upstash Redis** — cached non-sensitive aggregates
* **Vercel** — app hosting (EU)
* **Clerk** — authentication
* **Sentry** — error monitoring (no session replay)

We do not sell your data.

## Removing credentials

**Settings → Disconnect FoxESS** or **Disconnect Octopus** removes stored credentials for that provider.
