In the Privacy Policy, Personal Data refers to information recorded, electronically or otherwise, that can be used to identify an individual or reflect the activity of an individual, either from that information alone, or from that information paired with what other information about that individual that we have access to.

Smart Devices refer to non-standard computing devices produced or manufactured by hardware manufacturers with a human-machine interface and the ability to transmit data that connects wirelessly to a network, and includes smart home appliances, wearable smart devices, smart air-cleaning devices, etc.
In order to provide our services to you, we will ask you to provide the necessary Personal Data that is required to provide those services. If you do not provide your Personal Data, we may not be able to provide parts of the services, or even the entire product or service.

When you use our specific products or services (such as Bluetooth pairing and location in your country), we may collect your real-time accurate or inaccurate geo-location information. You can reject the location permissions in your mobile device to avoid collection of your location information.
Basic information on Smart Devices: When you connect your Smart Devices to our Products or Services, we may collect basic information about your Smart Devices, including device name, ID, online status, activation time, firmware version, and update information.
Smart Device Settings Information: When you purchase a smart device and set the name or description, for example a Base Station that you name “Living Room Base Station,” as well as any information concerning location changes to the smart device it is paired to, and any adjustments to this setting.
Information Reported by Smart Devices: Depending on the different Smart Devices you have connect to our Products or Services, we may collect different information reported by your Smart Devices. For example, motion sensors can capture objects in motion and report these captured objects back to the base station.
