We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

Right to Know and Data Portability

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), 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:

1.     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.
2.     Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
3.     Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
4.     Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
5.     Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
6.     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.
7.     Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
8.     Comply with a legal obligation.
9.     Use the personal information internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided it.

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

Right to Correct

You have the right to request the correction of any personal information we maintain about you.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise your rights described above, please submit a request by either:

1. Emailing us at privacy@vesync.com
2. Mailing us at 1202 North Miller Street, Suite A, Anaheim, CA 92806 US

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

You may also make a request to know, delete, or correct on behalf of your child by following the instructions above.

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

a. 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:

• Items of contact information, or
• Content of communications you sent to us.
• In addition, in the case of a request for specific pieces of personal information, we will ask for an additional piece of information that we may have in addition to the two pieces requested above, together with a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that the requestor is the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request or an authorized agent acting on behalf of that consumer.

An authorized agent, parent, or guardian seeking to exercise rights on behalf of an individual California resident or their child must prove their authority either by providing a power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4121 to 4130 or by:

• Providing a copy of a writing signed by the resident giving the agent permission to act on the resident’s behalf;
• Verification of the authorized agent’s own identity under the procedures in this section; and/or
• Communicating with the California resident directly to confirm the status of the agent as being authorized to act on behalf of the resident.

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. We may ask for additional verification if we suspect fraud. We will use any such additional information strictly for identity verification purposes, and it will be deleted following the completion of the verification process. We may, however, retain any information needed to comply with the CCPA, CPRA or other applicable law.

You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know, delete, or correct. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account. For California residents with a password-protected account with Vesync accessible via our Websites or our mobile application, we can verify your identity by having you access your account and complete a form to submit a request for your rights or confirm that you made a request.

We will only use 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 us. See Contact Information below.

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 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 usable 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

However, if you wish to opt out of or stop receiving any marketing communications from us, please contact us at one of the mechanisms listed in Contact Information below. Any email communications from us contain instructions on opting out of further email communications. Nonetheless, even if you opt out of marketing communications, we will still contact you regarding support, administration, and security of our services and products. You can always choose not to provide information, though not providing such information may mean that you may be unable to make a purchase or to take advantage of certain features of our services.

Non-Discrimination

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

a. Deny you goods or services.

b. Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.

c. Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.

d. Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information's value and contain written terms that describe the program's material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time. 

Other California Privacy Rights

California's "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Websites that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please see Contact Information below.
