Smart Lock Security and Privacy Guide: Protecting Your Home and Data

Introduction

Smart locks connect your door to the internet. This guide addresses the security and privacy questions that matter most.

FEOCEY Data Security Practices

Encryption: Data in transit uses TLS 1.3; data at rest uses AES-256; lock firmware stores credentials in encrypted storage.

Two-Factor Authentication: FEOCEY supports 2FA for all accounts. Enable it – it prevents account takeover even if your password is compromised.

Network Security Best Practices

  • Use WPA3 or WPA2-AES encryption on your router
  • Never share your Wi-Fi password with untrusted parties
  • Create a separate IoT network for smart home devices
  • Keep router firmware updated

Physical Security

Store a copy of your emergency key in a secure location outside your home, with a trusted neighbor, or in a secure lockbox. FEOCEY also supports a “duress code” that grants access while silently notifying your emergency contact.

Privacy: What FEOCEY Collects

FEOCEY collects: account information (email, phone), lock activity logs (timestamps), device information (model, firmware, Wi-Fi signal). FEOCEY does NOT collect video, audio, your Wi-Fi password, or unnecessary physical address data.

What Happens If FEOCEY Shuts Down?

Locks continue to operate locally via keypad codes. Physical keys always work. App functionality ceases without cloud service.

Security Checklist

  • Enable two-factor authentication
  • Use a strong, unique password
  • Enable WPA3/WPA2-AES on your home Wi-Fi
  • Store a physical backup key securely
  • Regularly review access logs
  • Delete access codes immediately when no longer needed
  • Set up low-battery notifications

Conclusion

When used correctly, a smart lock is more secure than a traditional lock. FEOCEY implements industry-standard encryption and security practices.
