Mobile App Privacy Policy
Last modified: October 10, 2022
Introduction
Optiview, Inc. (“we,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Mobile App Privacy Policy (the “Policy”). This Policy describes the types of information we may collect or that you may provide to us when you download, install, register with, access or use the ‘Optiview VMX-M’ software application for mobile devices and tablets (the “App”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting and disclosing that information.
This Policy applies only to information we collect in or through the App and in email, text, and other electronic communications sent through or in connection with the App.
Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it.
BY CHECKING THE CONSENT BOX FOR THIS POLICY AND THE TERMS OF USE OR USING OR ACCESSING THE APP, YOU (A) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS POLICY AND THE TERMS OF USE; (B) REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER; AND (C) ACCEPT AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY BOUND BY THIS POLICY AND THE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS POLICY OR THE TERMS OF USE, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE APP AND DELETE IT FROM ALL OF YOUR MOBILE DEVICES AND TABLETS.
WE MAY MODIFY THIS POLICY FROM TIME TO TIME (SEE “CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY” BELOW). YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THIS APP AFTER WE REVISE THIS POLICY MEANS YOU ACCEPT ANY CHANGES.
Children Under the Age of 16
The App is not intended for children under 16 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 16 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at Tech@optiviewusa.com. California residents under 16 years of age may have additional rights regarding the collection and sale of their personal information. Please see Privacy Notice for California Residents for more information.
Video and Audio Data
The App allows you to access and view surveillance data captured or recorded by Compatible Hardware (as defined in the Terms of Use). This “Surveillance Data” comprises (a) video (and in some cases audio) recordings or live feeds or streams and still photographic images; and (b) readings or data from physical or virtual sensors (to the extent offered by or included with Compatible Hardware and supported by the App), including motion detection sensors, event sensors, temperature sensors, window/door sensors, passive infrared sensors, water sensors, carbon dioxide sensors and ambient light sensors. Your Surveillance Data is captured and stored locally on your Compatible Hardware and/or on your device where the App is installed. We treat your Surveillance Data differently than other data types. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Policy, neither we nor our service providers will access your Surveillance Data, except (a) with your consent for the limited purpose of providing support services to you in connection with the App and/or the Compatible Hardware or for such other purposes as you may authorize or designate, or (b) to the extent legally compelled, including, without limitation, as required by subpoena, judicial order, civil investigative demand, or other similar legal process.
Information We Collect and How We Collect It
We collect information from and about users of the App directly from you when you provide it to us and/or automatically when you use the App.
Information You Provide to Us
When you download, register with, or use the App, we may ask you to provide information:
• By which you may be personally identified, such as your account name, account password, email address, geolocation and any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline (“personal information”). Note that “personal information” does not include “aggregated” or “de-identified” information that cannot be used to personally identify you.
• That is about you but individually does not identify you. This information includes:
- Information that you provide at the time of registering to use the App, subscribing to our services or requesting further services, activating certain functions, and when you report a problem with the App.
- Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses), if you contact us.
- Your product reviews and feedback for the App.
- Your responses to surveys that we might ask you to complete for research purposes.
Automatic Information Collection
When you download, access or use the App, it may use technology to automatically collect:
• Usage Details. When you access and use the App, we may automatically collect certain details of your access to and use of the App, including traffic data, logs, and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on or through the App.
• Device Information. We may collect information about your mobile device and Internet connection, including the device’s unique device model, unique identifier, IP address, MAC address, software version, network access mode & type, latitude & longitude (if needed), accelerator (gravity-activated device) and operation logs.
• Location Information. The App does NOT collect the real-time location of your device. It only identifies and collects the country and/or region your device is located in when you are signing in to the App for the purpose of connecting the App to a nearby server. The location information collected is not personally identifiable.
If you do not want us to collect this information, you can turn off the automatic collection by going to About in your App and disabling the User Experience Plan feature, or you can choose not to access or use the App and delete it from all of your mobile devices and tablets.
Third-Party Information Collection
When you use the App or its content, certain third parties such as your mobile device manufacturer or your mobile service provider may use automatic information collection technologies to collect information about you or your device. These third parties may use tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use the App. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions, you should contact the responsible provider directly.
How We Use Your Information
We process your personal information on the basis of the following legal grounds: (a) with your consent, (b) for the performance of a contract with you, (c) to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject, and/or (d) our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party as described in this Privacy Policy.

Data Security
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access the App or certain features of the App, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure.

We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained in the App.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify this Policy from time to time in our sole discretion. If we make material modifications to the Policy, we will notify you by sending you an in-App alert the first time you use the App after we make the change. The date this Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the App thereafter; provided, however, to the extent required by law, we will seek your affirmative consent prior to making material modifications to this Policy on how we use or disclose personal information that we collected or received prior to the date of the modification. Your continued use of the App following the posting of revisions means that you accept and agree to the modifications.
