SMARTCOM OFFICIAL PRIVACY POLICIES

Last modified: April 3, 2023

Introduction

Smartcom Mobility Solutions, Inc. (“Smartcom” or “the Company” or “We”) provides wearable and other devices (the “Device”), Platform as a Service, applications (“Device Apps”) installed on other select mobile devices (“Other Devices”), applications (the “App”) that support a Device’s or Other Device’s paired mobile or another device (the “Paired Device”) (the “App”) and websites (collectively, the “Platform”) designed to assist caregivers/parents/guardians and other authorized users in communicating with, monitoring, and tracking or locating their valuables and loved ones (the “Services”).

Smartcom respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This policy describes:

  • The types of information we may collect or that you may provide when you access or use the Platform, and
  • Our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

This policy applies only to information we collect through the Platform and any other electronic communications sent through or in connection with the Platform.

This policy DOES NOT apply to information that we collect offline or that you provide to or is collected by any third party (see “Third-Party Information Collection). These other third parties may have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before providing information on or through them.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not access, register with, or use the Platform or Services. By accessing, registering with, or using the Platform or Services, you agree to this privacy policy. This policy may change from time to time (see “Changes to Our Privacy Policy”). Your continued use of the Platform and the Services after we revise this policy means you accept those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

Our Policies for Children

While some of our Devices and Device Apps are designed to be worn or used by a child, our customer is the applicable parent or guardian over 18 years of age who has registered to use the Platform and the Services.  Smartcom allows parents and guardians to set up select Devices and Device Apps to be used or worn by their child. Children’s use of the Platform, and Device, Device App, and Services are subject to a separate Privacy Policy for Children Under 13 which explains what information about your child we collect to set up your account, what information we collect about and from a child’s use of our Platform and the Services, and how we use and share that information. Parents or guardians must provide consent in accordance with applicable law in order to create an account.

Persons under the age of 13 are not permitted to create accounts unless their parent or guardian has consented in accordance with applicable law. If we learn that we have collected or received the personal information of a child under the relevant minimum age without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete the information. Parents and guardians who believe that their child has submitted personal information to us and would like to have it deleted may contact us at dpo@smartcom.com.

California residents under 16 years of age may have additional rights regarding the collection and sale of their personal information. Please see “Your California Privacy Rights” for more information.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We collect information from and about users of our Platform:

  • Directly from you when you provide it to us.
  • Automatically when you use the Platform.

Information You Provide to Us 

When you create and register an account, we may ask you to provide:

  • Information by which you may be personally identified, such as name, email address, your child’s birthdate (optional), phone number of Device and the Paired Device, (“Personal Information“), as well as the Personal Information of your child. We may also collect a photo of you and your child. (“Personal information” also includes, among other things, any identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline; information such as unique device IDs; photos, videos, and audio files that contain a user’s image or voice; a child’s geolocation information, and information about a child or the parents of the child that the Platform collects online from the child and combines with any identifier mentioned above).
  • Information about other users that you specifically authorize to be added to your account and with whom you authorize us to share you and your child’s Personal Information, (“Guest Users”) (including the Guest User’s name, relationship, and email address). Please note that if you authorize Guest Users, you do so at your own risk. Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Additionally, we cannot control the actions of Guest Users or other third parties with whom you may choose to share your or your child’s Personal Information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that Personal Information you or your child chooses to share with Guest Users and other third parties will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.
  • Emergency contact information and instructions (including emergency contact names, phone numbers, and email addresses).
  • We may also request additional information from you about you and/or your child. We specify whether the information is required or optional when we request it.
  • That is about you but individually does not identify you.

This information includes:

  • Information that you provide by filling in forms on the Mobile App. This also includes information provided at the time of registering to use the Platform, providing parental consent, and requesting further services. We may also ask you for information when you report a problem with the Platform, or you request additional information from us.
  • Records and copies of your correspondence (including name, email address, and message), if you contact us.

Automatic Information Collection and Tracking

When you download, access, and use the Platform, it may use technology to automatically collect:

  • Usage Details. When you access and use the Platform, we may automatically collect certain details of your access to and use of the Platform, including traffic data, logs, time and usage habits, number of Devices, Paired Devices, and Other Devices used, the number of calls made or messages sent through the Device or Device App, communication data and the resources that you access and use on or through the Platform.
  • Device Information. We may collect information about your Device, Paired Device, Other Device, and an internet connection, including the Device, Paired Device, and Other Device’s unique identifiers; Device, Paired Device, and another Device type/ model/ manufacturer, and telephone numbers; Device and Other Device’s settings, operating system, browser type, and mobile network information; Device and Other Device’s configurations and battery level. The exact type of information collected from each device will vary depending on the product type.
  • Location Information. Due to the nature of the Services, the Platform necessarily collects real-time information about the location of the Device(s) or Other Devices and movement data from the Device or Device App. The Device or Device App automatically and constantly collects information about physical locations. This location information is acquired through numerous methods, including GPS, cell towers, and Wi-Fi hotspots, which are enhanced over time as we follow the Device(s) or Other Devices, collect more information, and improve our tracking. You are not able to disable location-based data collection from the Device(s) or Device App except by unpairing the App from the Device/Device App or deleting your account.
  • Other Metrics. The Device or Device App may also collect data to estimate a variety of metrics like the number of steps taken, the distance traveled, heart rate, sleep stages, oxygen levels, and other biometric data. The data collected varies depending on which product you use.
  • Calls/Audio/Texts/Video. Depending on the product you use, chat content, texts, messages, photos, sounds, voice, and video recordings sent directly from and to a Device may be collected and stored for a limited time by Smartcom. You can access and delete this data by sending us an email at dpo@smartcom.com. You may also delete this data by deleting the App or unpairing the Device.  Smartcom is not responsible for lost data.
  • Depending on the product, some Devices and/or the App may allow a user to enter and save personal information, including that related to medications or other matters, for their own use.
  • Emergency Calls. In the event an emergency call is placed from the Device or Other Device, network providers may record the audio of the conversation between the Device/Other Device and the recipient of such call. In such cases, please refer to the network provider’s Privacy Policy.

If you do not want us to collect this information, do not use the Platform and do not download the App or you can delete the App or unpair the Device or Device App. To unpair the Device or Device App from the Mobile App, click on the ‘delete account’ button in the App settings. This will delete all data we maintain.  For more information or to request manual deletion, you can email us at dpo@smartcom.com For more information, see How We Use and Disclose Your Information. Note that opting out of the Platform’s collection of information by deleting the App or unpairing the Device or Device App will disable the use of the Platform and the Device or Device App.

  • Our practices for disclosing that information.
  • Our practices for notifying and obtaining parents’ consent when we collect personal information from children, including how a parent may revoke consent.

California residents under 16 years of age may have additional rights regarding the collection and sale of their personal information. Please see Your California Privacy Rights for more information.

Information We Collect from Children

While some of our Devices and Device Apps are designed to be worn or used by a child, our customer is the applicable parent over eighteen (18) years of age who has registered to use the Platform and the Services.  Smartcom allows parents to set up selected Devices or Device Apps to be used by their children.  Smartcom does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without consent of a parent or guardian in accordance with applicable law, and the Platform and Services are intended to be used by children under 13 only with significant parental involvement and approval.  If Smartcom learns that we have inadvertently collected the personal information of a child without parental consent, we will take appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent and discover that your child under the age of 13 has a registered account with us without your consent, please alert us immediately by emailing dpo@smartcom.com so that we may delete that child’s personal information from our systems.

Some content and features require us to collect certain information, including personal information, from and about children. In addition, we use certain technologies, such as location tracking technologies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they use the Platform.  We only collect as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child’s use of the Platform and the Services, and we do not condition his or her participation in the disclosure of more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary.

If you do not want us to collect this information, do not use the Platform or the Services and do not download the App or you can delete the App or unpair the Device or Device App. To unpair the Device or Device App from the App, click on the ‘delete account’ button in the App settings. This will delete all data we maintain.  For more information or to request manual deletion, you can email us at dpo@smartcom.com. Note that opting out of the Platform’s collection of information by deleting the App or unpairing the Device or Device App will disable the use of the Platform and the Device or Device App.

Information We Collect Directly

As further described in our general Privacy Policy, we collect various types of Personal Information from all users of the Platform and Service. Please review the section of our general Privacy Policy called “Information We Collect and How We Collect It” to learn more.

When you create an account, we may collect the following personal information about your child from you: name, email address, birthdate (optional), gender, phone number of Device or Other Device, and picture.  We may also request additional information from you about your child. We specify whether the information is required or optional when we request it.  By creating an account and permitting your child to use the Platform, Device, Device App, and Services, you expressly agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy for Children Under the Age of 13 and you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your child’s personal information as described herein.

A parent may authorize specific other individuals to be added to your account and with whom you authorize us to share your child’s personal information, including geolocation information, chat content, phone number, emergency contact information, steps taken, and photo (“Guest Users”).  Your child may also be able to communicate with these Guest Users, and depending on the specific Device or Other Device, other non-authorized third parties, through chat, text, and call features located on the Device or through third-party applications on Other Devices (”Social Features”). The nature of these Social Features allows children to disclose personal information about themselves. We do not monitor or review this content, and we do not control the actions of Guest Users or other third parties with whom your child shares his or her information. We encourage parents to educate their children about the safe use of the internet, the Social Features, and the Device and Other Devices and to monitor their children’s use of the Device and Other Devices, including any Social Features

Automatic Information Collection and Tracking

We use technology to automatically collect information from our users, including children when they access the Platform and use certain of its features. The information we collect through these technologies includes:

  • Information that identifies a Device’s location (geolocation information). Due to the nature of the Services, the Platform necessarily collects real-time information about the location of the Device(s) or Other Device and movement data. While paired with the App, the Device and Device App automatically and constantly collects information about the physical location of the Device and Other Devices. This location information is acquired through numerous methods, including GPS, cell towers, and Wi-Fi hotspots, which are enhanced over time as we follow the Device(s) and Other Devices, collect more information, and improve our tracking. You are not able to disable location-based data collection from the Device and Other Device except by unpairing the App from the Device or Device App.
  • When your child accesses and uses the Device or Device App, we may automatically collect certain details of their access to and use of the Platform, including traffic data, location data, logs, time and usage habits, the number of calls made or messages sent through the Device or Device App, communication data and the resources that your child accesses and uses on or through the Platform.
  • We may also collect information about the Device, Other Devices, and internet connection, including the unique Device and Other Device identifiers, Device, and another Device type/ model/ manufacturer; IP addresses, mobile network information, settings, operating system, browser type, and telephone numbers, configurations, and battery level.

  • In the event an emergency or other call is placed from the Device, a network provider may record the audio of the conversation between the Device and the recipient of such call. In such cases, please refer to the network provider’s privacy policy.

We may combine the non-personal information we collect through these technologies with personal information about you or your child that we collect online.

The CCPA prohibits a third party from reselling personal information unless you have received explicit notice and an opportunity to opt out of further sales. The following businesses purchase personal information from us and may resell that information. To opt out of those sales, please visit that business’ opt-out notice at the link provided while entering your information.

Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Right to Know and Data Portability

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the “right to know”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
  • If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
  • sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
  • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  • Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement if you previously provided informed consent.
  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We will delete or de-identify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete

To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may request to know or delete related to your personal information.

To delete your information, you can also delete the App or unpair the Device or the Device App. To un-pair, the Device or the Device App from the Mobile App, click on the ‘delete account’ button in the App settings. This will delete all data we maintain.

A parent or legal guardian may also request to know or delete on behalf of your child by emailing us at dpo@.com or calling us at (404) 907-0009.  To delete your child’s information, you can delete the App or unpair the Device or the Device App. To un-pair, the Device or the Device App from the Mobile App, click on the ‘delete account’ button in the App settings. This will delete all data we maintain about you and your child.

You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include:
  • Your account name, as well as the consumer right you would like to exercise;
  • Your device’s IMEI
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do consider requests made through your password-protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to the personal information associated with that specific account.

We will only use the personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.

For instructions on exercising your sale opt-out or opt-in rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact dpo@smartcom.com.

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to the contact information associated with that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

California residents have the right to know whether a business sells personal information. If you are age 16 or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”).  If a consumer is under the age of 16, then the consumer who is between 13 and 15 years old, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years old,  must affirmatively authorize the sale of such consumer’s personal information (the “right to opt-in”). Smartcom does not sell the personal information of consumers of any age to third parties and has not sold the personal information of consumers of any age in the preceding 12 months.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA or GDPR rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA or GDPR, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you with a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Other California Privacy Rights

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Platform that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy policy, we will post the updated notice on the Platform and update the notice’s effective date. Your continued use of our Platform following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
