The content you share by placing it on YI Community is available for sharing for a limited time (e.g. 30 days or less) after which it is deleted from YI's systems.

Privacy laws in your region may impose certain obligations on you and your use of security cameras or cloud storage products. You as a YI customer are solely responsible for ensuring that you comply with the regulation in your region. Depending on your region, you may be required to inform your guest, visitor, client, or other non-YI users that you are using a security camera to record audio and video. You may need to consider their privacy rights before sharing the video or clip that involves other non YI-users.

The Wi-Fi network information will be stored, and used on the selected devices to enable streamline monitoring access and control from your computer, smartphone or tablet. The connection will enable YI systems and devices to send the algorithm and video recordings or to update the software required on the app.

YI's Interaction with the Third Parties Data Collection

Any data that you choose to share with a third party is governed by that third party's privacy policy while in that party's possession. For example, when you elect to use Third-Party Products and Services, such as Amazon Alexa Skill or Google Assistant (as and when each is introduced), you agree that we may provide certain data about you to such partners in order to enable the activation, connection and integration with and to such Third-Party Products and Services you intend to use or otherwise choose to activate. Your consent is required to allow any of these exchanges or requests for control and you will be able to revoke or disable it at any time.

If you choose to enable or connect YI products with third-party products, applications, functionality, or services through the means authorized and directed by YI, you acknowledge and agree that we may share certain information for account authentication and management purposes.

Any data that YI receives from third-parties (for example, information received from Facebook after you login to your Facebook account to share content) will be processed and stored by YI and will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This information may be processed in the same manner as any other data that is a part of your YI account or the YI logs.

Use of the Information It Collects

YI uses the information as described above, to provide, develop and improve YI Products and Services, including making assessments and recommendations about products or safety. We may use your contact details to send you technical updates about your YI products and YI Cloud storage information, to participate in surveys, and/or to send you other forms of communications on behalf of YI.

We may also use this information in an aggregated, non-identified form for research purposes and to provide a better shopping experience on our sites, process payments, understanding your preference, and help us to build better business decisions for our customers. For example, we use aggregated, non-identified information about the number of times users in a particular region use a particular function to help us determine if the function is desired by customers. YI conducts secure data protection and implements a reasonable contractual system to limit the use of a third-party service provider to perform some of these analytics functions. Those service providers are restricted from sharing your information for any other purpose. YI also provide a strict control and provisions against unauthorized YI employee access to your data recordings collected from your YI Products.

Except as otherwise explained in this Privacy Policy, YI may use your browsing history or behavioral data information to show you ads or send you marketing related information via the communications methods you have selected on your user preferences in the account settings. Not all YI Products conduct direct marketing. Where this functionality is available, you can change your preferences at any time and switch this option on/off. We use industry-standard methods to keep this information safe and secure while it is transmitted over your home network and through the Internet to our systems.

Depending on your location and type of data, YI may process your personal information on servers that are not in your home country. If you are in the United States, YI processes your personal information only in the United States. If you are outside of the United States, YI processes your personal information in Germany and/or Singapore-based secured servers.

Our Legal Bases for Processing Information

In order to store, hold and process your data lawfully where EU Data Protection Law (including the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the Council of 27 April 2016), read in conjunction with and subject to any consequential national data protection legislation) applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal grounds:

Where it is necessary for the performance of a contract • we process your data to provide and support a product or service you have asked for under a contract, including but not limited to delivering our Terms of Use.

When we are pursuing legitimate interests. We process your information for our legitimate interests and those of third parties while applying appropriate safeguards that protect your privacy. This means we process your information for things like:

• Offering and improving YI Products and services
• Developing new products and features
• performing research that improves our services for our users and benefits the public
• protecting against harm to the rights, property, and safety of YI, our users, and the public
• detecting, preventing or otherwise addressing fraud, abuse, security or technical issues with our services
• maintaining and improving the integrity of our computing systems, and protecting our users' data security
• enforcing legal claims, including investigation of potential violations of applicable Terms of Use

When we are complying with legal obligations. We process your data when we have a legal obligation to do so, for example, if we are responding to a legal process or an enforceable governmental request.

With your consent. Where necessary, we ask for your consent to process your information for certain specific purposes and give you the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

How We Share Your Information

We do not share or sell any personal information for any purpose unrelated to the activation and delivery of YI Products and services without seeking your consent.

The following are the limited situations where we may share personal information:

• Third-party Customer Service Agency: We have customer service providers, and technicians who help with some of our processing and storage, including helping to answer your questions. They may also assist with monitoring our servers and systems for technical problems. These technicians (as well as YI employees) can access certain information about you or your account relating to this work, but these technicians are not allowed to use this data for non-YI purposes. We also have strict policies and technical barriers in place to prevent unauthorized employee access to video and audio recordings that you have not shared.

• Transfer of the Company: Upon the sale or transfer of the company and/or all or part of its assets, your personal information may be among the items sold or transferred. We will request that a purchaser treat our data under the Privacy Policy.

• Legal requests: In response to a legal request (e.g. a search warrant, court order or subpoena), if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so for legal reasons. For example, we may disclose information in response to legal process and we may disclose information in response to lawful requests by public authorities in the United States and other countries for the purposes of law enforcement and national security.

If you select an outside party for the purchase, installation, or service of your YI device and share your personal information, we cannot control the collection, storage or sharing of information collected by that party. For example, if you buy a YI Product from a retailer, the retailer may collect personal information as part of the transaction.

Option to Delete Your Personal Information

YI generally stores your personal information on YI's systems until you delete or edit it, or for as long as you remain a YI customer, in order to provide you with YI Products, but your audio, photo, and video files are stored for a limited time (e.g., 7, 15, or 30 days). Your YI account allows you to delete audio, photo, and video files that you choose before the limited storage time has elapsed. In addition, should you wish to delete your entire account, including all recordings associated with it, contact privacy@yitechnology.com.

As described above, some information is processed and stored directly on the YI device. All personal information is encrypted as it is transmitted to YI and cannot easily be accessed.

You can access, amend or delete your personal information from YI's systems through the controls in your YI account. Because of the way we maintain certain services, after your information is deleted, backup copies may linger for some time before they are deleted, and we may retain certain data for a longer period of time if we are required to do so for legal reasons.

Retention of Personal Data

Your personal data will be retained for as long as it is necessary to carry out the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy (unless longer retention is required by applicable law). However, we will not retain any of your personal data beyond this period and the retention of your personal information will be subject to periodic review. We may keep an anonymized form of your personal data, which will no longer refer to you, for statistical purposes without time limits, to the extent that we have a legitimate and lawful interest in doing so.
