· Toggle on/off for other services and functionalities which deal with sensitive or personal information.

If you have previously agreed to us using your personal information for the abovementioned purposes, you may change your mind at any time through your device or privacy settings as described above. If you have any questions, please email us at privacy@zepp.com.

 

RETENTION POLICY

 

HUAMI retains personal information we receive as described in this Privacy Policy for as long as you use our products and services or as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected, provide our services, resolve disputes, establish legal defenses, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, enforce our agreements, and comply with applicable laws. We shall cease to retain personal information, or remove the means by which the personal information can be associated with particular individuals, as soon as it is reasonable to assume that the purpose for which that personal information was collected is no longer being served by retention of the personal information.

If further processing is for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes according to the applicable laws, the data can be further retained by Huami even if the further processing is incompatible with original purposes in certain jurisdictions.

 

ACCESS, UPDATING, CORRECTING OR ERASURE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

· You have the right to request access to and/or correction of any other personal information that you have provided that we hold about you. When you update your personal information, you will be asked to verify your identity before we proceed with your request. Once we obtain sufficient information to accommodate your request for access to or correction of your personal information, we shall respond to your request within a reasonable period of time, but not longer than any timeframe set out under your applicable data protection laws.

· If we can verify your identity, a copy of your personal data collected and processed by us will be provided to you upon your request free of charge. For any extra request of the same information, we may charge a reasonable fee based on actual administrative costs according to the applicable laws.

· If you would like to request access to your personal data held by us or if you believe any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please log into your account or email us as soon as possible at the email address below. Email: privacy@zepp.com        

· For details relating to the personal information in your Mi Account, you may also access and change them at http://account.mi.com or by logging into your account on your device.

· Where otherwise permitted by applicable law, you may send an e-mail to privacy@zepp.com or use any of the methods set out in this Privacy Policy to request access to, receive (port), seek rectification, or request erasure of personal information held about you by HUAMI. Please include your full name, email address associated with your account, and a detailed description of your data request. Such requests will be processed in line with local laws.

· Although HUAMI makes good faith efforts to provide individuals with access to their personal information, there may be circumstances in which HUAMI is unable to provide access, including but not limited to: where we cannot verify your identity, where the information contains legal privilege, would compromise others’ privacy or other legitimate rights, where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy in the case in question or where it is commercially proprietary, subject to applicable law. If HUAMI determines that access should be restricted in any particular instance, we will provide you with an explanation of why that determination has been made and a contact point for any further inquiries. To protect your privacy, HUAMI will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to or making any changes to your personal information.

 

WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT

 

If you have previously provided us consent to use your personal information, you may withdraw your consent by submitting a request. This may be done by sending an e-mail to privacy@zepp.com or accessing your account. We will process your request once we have verified your identity and within a reasonable time from when the request was made, subject to applicable law.

 

TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE OF YOUR JURISDICTION

 

Currently, HUAMI has data centers in China, the United States, Singapore, Russia, India and Germany.

If you are a Chinese mainland user, your personal information is stored in data centers located in mainland China, except for cross-border transmissions as permitted by applicable laws.

If you are a European Economic Area (“EEA”) user, your personal information is stored in data centers located in Germany, except for cross-border transmissions as permitted by applicable laws.

If you are a Russian user, your personal information is stored in data centers located in Russia, except for cross-border transmissions permitted under Russian law.

If you are an Indian user, your personal information is stored in data centers located in India, except for cross-border transmissions as permitted by Indian laws.

If you are a United States or Canadian user, your personal information is stored in data centers located in United States.

For users who use our products and services in other territories, your personal information may be stored in data centers located in Germany, Singapore or the United States in accordance with applicable laws.

To the extent that we may need to transfer personal information outside of your jurisdiction, whether to our affiliated companies or Third Party Service Providers, we shall do so in accordance with the applicable laws. For example, when we transfer your personal information to countries outside the EEA, we do so under the European Commission’s model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries (i.e. standard contractual clauses) or in line with any replacement mechanism approved under EU law. In particular, we will ensure that all transfers will be in accordance with requirements under your applicable local data protection laws by putting in place appropriate safeguards. You will have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards taken by HUAMI for this transfer of your personal information.

HUAMI may use overseas facilities operated and controlled by HUAMI to process or back up your personal information. You understand that your personal information collected via or by HUAMI may be stored outside of your jurisdiction. These overseas jurisdictions may or may not have in place data protection laws which are substantially similar to that in your home jurisdiction. You have understood that the risks under applicable data protection laws are different and we may transfer to and store your personal information at our overseas facilities. However, this does not change any of our commitments to safeguard your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Your personal information may be accessible to law enforcement or other authorities pursuant to a lawful request. By providing information to HUAMI, you consent to the storage of your personal information in these locations.

 

MINORS/CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

 

Our products and services are not directed to children under 16 (and in certain jurisdictions under the age of 13) years of age. If you are under the age of 16 (and in certain jurisdictions under the age of 13), you must have your parent’s permission to access the products and services. HUAMI urges parents to instruct their children never to give out their real names, addresses, or phone numbers, without parental permission, when online.

HUAMI does not seek or intend to seek to receive any personal information from minors. Should a parent or guardian have reasons to believe that a minor has provided HUAMI with personal information without their prior consent, please contact us to ensure that the personal information is removed and the minor unsubscribes from any of the applicable HUAMI services. If we learn that we have collected any personal information from children under 16 (and in certain jurisdictions under the age of 13) and we do not obtain permission from a parent, we will promptly take steps to delete such information and terminate the minor’s account.

 

UPDATES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY

 

We keep our Privacy Policy under regular review and may update this privacy policy to reflect changes to our information practices. You understand and agree that you will be deemed to have accepted the updated Privacy Policy if you use the products or services after the updated Privacy Policy is posted. If, at any point, you do not agree to any portion of the Privacy Policy then in effect, you must immediately stop using the products and services. If we make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or post the changes on all the HUAMI websites or through our software, so that you may be aware of the information we collect and how we use it. Such changes to our Privacy Policy shall apply from the effective date as set out in the notice or on the website. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. Your continued use of products and services on the websites, mobile phones and/or any other device will be taken as acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. Before we use personal information for any new purpose not originally authorized by you, we will endeavor to provide information regarding the new purpose and give you the opportunity to opt-out. Where your consent for the processing of personal information is otherwise required by law or contract, HUAMI will endeavor to comply with the law or contract.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

California law permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their personal information (if any) for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of personal information disclosed to those parties. HUAMI does not share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

 

THIRD PARTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

Our Privacy Policy does not apply to products and services offered by a third party. HUAMI products and services may include third parties’ products, services and links to third parties’ websites. When you use such products or services, they may collect your information too. For this reason, we strongly suggest that you read the third party’s privacy policy as you have taken time to read ours. We are not responsible for and cannot control how third parties use personal information which they collect from you. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to other sites linked from our services.

 

OUR APPROACH TO MANAGE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION UNDER GDPR

According to the GDPR, for instance, (1) HUAMI set up a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in charge the data protection, and the contact of the DPO is dpo@zepp.com, (2) HUAMI designated a representative in Europe, a professional attorney with data protection experience, and the contact of representative is representative.huami@herrero.es and (3) a procedure for conducting data protection impact assessments.
