Data protection

How secure is my data?

Are you wondering about the security of your data? No need to worry! The KNX Matter server can be operated without the Internet, as it works locally. KNX and Matter do not require Internet access, so you are completely independent of the World Wide Web. Exceptions: Internet access may be required for account creation with Apple Home, for KNX Matter server updates and automatic ETS detection and, if necessary, for your smart home apps such as Apple Home, Google Home or similar. The servers for the updates are located in German data centres, so that German data protection law applies.
