Connected Appliance Privacy Policy

We collect Personal Information directly from you when you create an account, communicate with us or otherwise provide your information to us, as further described in the table below.

Information we collect from third-party sources and your Connected Appliance

We may obtain data from various third-party companies and public sources. We may combine that data with Personal Information or other data we collect.

Additionally, your Connected Appliance is equipped with electronic sensors that permit a two way exchange of data between the Connected Appliance and our computer system. This collection occurs automatically via our computer system, on a continuing basis. We collect and store the electronic data we receive from your Connected Appliance or from the electronic devices (such as cell phones, computers and tablets) you use to access the Services or the Mobile App ("Connected Data"). Some Connected Data may be considered Personal Information under certain laws.

4. SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We disclose or share Personal Information with third parties for the following purposes:

5. USE AND DISCLOSURE OF DE-IDENTIFIED OR AGGREGATED INFORMATION

We may de-identify or aggregate your Personal Information so it can no longer be used to identify you. Once we do this, the information is no longer considered Personal Information and we can use it for any lawful purpose. We will not attempt to reverse this process or attempt to re-identify you based on the de-identified or anonymized information.

6. YOUR CHOICES

We recognize that you may want to limit how your Personal Information is used and shared. We currently offer the following choices and options:

• Opt-out of Marketing Communications. We may use your email and mailing address to send you promotional and other electronic and hardcopy communications. You may opt-out of such emails by using the unsubscribe link in the email or contacting us at [email protected] with "unsubscribe" in the subject line. To opt-out of other communications (e.g., postal marketing and telemarketing), please contact us as set forth in the "Contact Us" section below. Opting out of marketing communications does not opt you out of other, non-marketing communications from us.
• Mobile Location Choices. If you use our App, you may decline to provide location information through your mobile device settings or any prompt requesting location information.
• Global Privacy Control. You may opt out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information by broadcasting the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) (on the browser and/or browser extension that supports the GCP signal). To download and use a browser supporting the GPC signal, click here. If you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use. Additionally, if you are a California or Texas resident, you may opt out by filling out the form here.

7. PROTECTION OF CHILDREN’S PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not publish content that is targeted to children. We do not intend for children under the age of 16 to use the Services or the Mobile App. We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or disclose a child's Personal Information. If you are under 16, you should not send any Personal Information about yourself to us.

If you are a parent or guardian who has discovered that your child under the age of 16 has submitted his or her Personal Information without your permission or consent, we will make reasonable efforts to remove the information from our database, at your written request. To request the removal of your child's information, please send an email to [email protected] and be sure to include the same information that your child submitted. For clarity, we do not sell the Personal Information of anyone under the age of 16 years old without affirmative authorization.

WE MAY, AT ANY TIME, REVISE THIS CONNECTED PRIVACY POLICY BY UPDATING THIS POSTING. IF WE MAKE A MATERIAL CHANGE TO THIS CONNECTED PRIVACY POLICY, WE WILL POST A NOTICE ON THE TOP OF THIS POLICY, ON OUR SITE OR NOTIFY YOU BY ANOTHER METHOD THAT WE HAVE MADE CHANGES TO THIS CONNECTED PRIVACY POLICY. ALL CHANGES WILL BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING. 

9. THIRD PARTY LINKS

This Connected Privacy Policy will not apply to any Personal Information that you provide to, or that is collected by, any third-party website operator, third-party product or service provider, or Third-Party Device Provider. Other third-party services or applications, like your wireless data plan or phone provider, have their own privacy statements. Those third-party privacy policies have separate terms and should be read separately from this Connected Privacy Policy.
