Our Privacy Policy was updated on may 25, 2018. We have revised our Privacy Policy so that, beginning from this date, this Privacy Policy will be able to provide details about how we manage the personal information you disclose when using Petoneer products and services. This excludes Petoneer products or services for which a separate privacy policy is provided.
We retain information we collect about you as long as it is still needed for the purposes we obtained it or as long as it is needed to comply with applicable legal requirements or permissions. We shall cease to retain personal information, or remove the means by which the personal information can be associated with particular individuals, as soon as it is reasonable to assume that the purpose for which that personal information was collected is no longer being served by retention of the personal information.
Please take some time to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices, and let us know if you have any questions.
Our promise
This Privacy Policy describes how SkyRC Technology Co.,LTD. and its affiliates (hereinafter referred to as "Petoneer" or "We") collects, uses, discloses, processes, and safeguards the information you provide to us through the Petoneer app when using our products or services. If We ask you to provide certain information in order to verify your identity when using Petoneer products or services, We will use this information in strict accordance with this Privacy Policy and/or our User Terms and Conditions.
This Privacy Policy was developed with full consideration of your needs taken into account. It is important that you fully understand our personal data collection and usage practices and feel confident in your ability to control the personal information you provide to Petoneer.
In this Privacy Policy, "personal information" refers to data, either derived from information itself or from other related personal information that Petoneer is able to access, that can distinguish a specific individual. This type of personal information may include your name, phone number, or email address.
By using Petoneer products and services, you acknowledge that you have read, agreed to and accepted all of the terms included in this Privacy Policy, including any changes We make at any time. We are committed to protecting the privacy, confidentiality, and the security of your personal information in compliance with applicable law (including data protection law in your area), and we guarantee that all of our employees and agents will fulfill these obligations.
Finally, We want to bring the best experience to our users. If you have any questions about the data processing practices outlined in this Privacy Policy, please contact our Support Officer at [email protected] so that We can best see to your needs. We are very happy to directly address any questions or issues you may have.
What information is collected, and how is it used?
(1). Types of information collected
When providing you with services, We will ask you for personal information that is necessary for us to successfully provide those services. If you do not provide us with this personal information, We may not be able to provide our products or services to you.
We collect the following types of information (regardless of whether or not they are considered to be personal information):
- Information you provide to us or upload: We may collect personal information you provide to us including your name, phone number, email address, account information (e.g. security-related information such as name, birthday, and sex), information or data that is synchronized with the device you use to access the Petoneer portal, information used to create your account or related to your account setup on the Petoneer portal, devices you add or information that you send, and feedback.
- Information related to the handheld device terminal or your SIM card: information related to the operation of the Petoneer handheld device terminal. This includes, for example, IMEI number, IMSI number, the version of your operating system, manufacturing information about your device, model name, and network operator.
- Device information: information about the device associated with your account. For example: MAC address, DID, network status of the device (IP/network signal), and the version of your firmware.
- Information We designate that is about you: We may collect and use content such as information related to your account.
- Location information (only for specific services/features): a variety of different kinds of information related to your location. For example, country code, city code, mobile network code, district name, information about latitude and longitude, and language settings.
- Login information: information related to your use of certain features and devices. Information includes, for example, cookie and other anonymous labeling and marking technology, IP address, temporary messaging history, and standard system logs.
- Other information: Environmental Feature Value (ECV) (for device-bound accounts (email and phone number), account number and password for connected Wi-Fi accounts)
We may also collect other kinds of anonymous information that is not related to an individual. For example, when using a specific service, a user's device, device model number, and the version number of the user's firmware may all be collected. The type and amount of information collected depends on how you use, join, or participate in our products and/or services.
(2). How this personal information is used
The purpose of collecting personal information is to provide you with products and/or services while also ensuring that We comply with applicable law. You hereby agree to our processing of personal information in accordance with the purposes stipulated by this Privacy Policy, and you agree to disclose personal information to our affiliates (these may include communications, social media, technology, or cloud services) and to third-party service providers (as defined below). We may use your personal information for the following purposes:
- Provider services, processing, maintenance, improvement, development of the products and/or services We provide you, and services provided through your device or by Petoneer.
- Communication with you regarding your device, services, or any other common queries (including updates, device firmawer/software updates, customer support, related information, and notifications).
- Analysis and development of statistical information related to the use of our products and services that is used to further improve our products and services.
- Storage and maintenance of your information, to be used in our business operations or to fulfill legal obligations.
More details on how We use your information (including personal information) are provided below:
- Creating your account. The personal information that is collected when an account is created on a mobile device is used to create a user's personal account and information pages.
- Providing location-based services. When using Petoneer devices, We may use information about your location to determine the time zone of the device. This will ensure that the device accurately displays the correct time and login service area. It will also optimize user experience by providing services such as advance activation of the corresponding device at a time set by the user. You can turn off this feature at any time by going to device settings or by discontinuing your use of this application.
- Accessing devices. The authenticity of devices that are operated through the app must be verified. We therefore need to confirm the legal identity of the device by consulting the factory MAC and DID information. In addition, in order to connect the device to the network, it will need to be configured through the app. During configuration, you must enter the corresponding Wi-Fi name and password. This information will only be used to connect the device to the network. The Wi-Fi and password data you enter will be encrypted and stored locally on your device; it will not be uploaded to the server. In addition, you can access the device and delete this information at any time. We also need to analyze the device's IP and network signal in order to determine the optimal network connection method. This will ensure the stability of the device network.
- Display of device status. This allows you to view the status of the device remotely that you can check at any time whether or not the device is running.
- Providing push services. Account numbers and IMEO Numbers will also be used for the Petoneer push service, which sends device notifications to the user. You can turn off this feature at any time by changing the preferences listed under "Message Settings."
- Collecting user feedback. The feedback you choose to provide is extremely valuable, as it helps us improve the services provided by Petoneer. In order to track your feedback, Petoneer may use the personal information you provide to contact you and to keep records.
- Sending notifications. We may occasionally use your personal information to send important notifications, for example, notifications about the status of device malfunctions; your customized device push notifications (which depend on what additional equipment you have purchased); and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies.
(3). Direct promotion
We may use your name, phone number, email address, account number, or IMEI number to provide you with promotional information related to products and services provided by SkyRC Technology Co.,LTD. or by its partners (who provide web and mobile applications and cloud-related products and services). We strictly abide by local data protection law and require your independent and explicit permission. This means that We will only use your personal information after We have obtained your consent or after you express that you have no objections. You also have the right to stop our planned use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
