We will only retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

In some circumstances we will deidentify your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use the information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Data Security

Vesync has an information security program to implement reasonable and appropriate industry-standard security controls to protect personal information in its possession. Vesync also requires its service providers to implement controls that are at least as stringent as the ones Vesync itself uses, consistent with this policy. Vesync’s administrative, physical, and technical safeguards:

• Provide assurances of the integrity and confidentiality of personal information covered by this policy;
• Protect against reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of personal information, and unauthorized uses or disclosures of such personal information; and
• Facilitate compliance with legal frameworks of requirements under applicable data protection laws.

One example of a security safeguard we use is encryption. Specifically, our mobile applications use encrypted communications when they obtain your personal information and when our payment service receives your payment information to complete orders and obtain payment for products you purchase using our Websites.

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 to certain parts of our Websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of our Websites like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Websites.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Websites. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Websites.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

Our business changes constantly, and our privacy policy and the terms of use will also change accordingly. We may email periodic reminders of our policy and terms, but you should check our Websites frequently to see the most recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account(s).

We stand behind the promises we make and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them materially less protective of user information collected in the past without the consent of affected users. However, we may amend this policy from time to time. We will make amendments to the policy by displaying an amended copy on our Websites, and, if necessary, by sending a notice to you by email. Your continued use of our Websites after the revision will constitute your approval of the revised version.

The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Websites and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
