During your use of our accounts, websites, mobile apps, or other products or services, we may collect and use your personal information.

Before using the App, please carefully read this Privacy Notice, with special attention to the terms highlighted in bold, to understand our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of your personal information. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Notice, please immediately stop using the App. As a result, we will not be able to provide you with the App and related services.

1.       How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information

The information we collect depends on the products you use, the environment in which you interact with us, and the choices you make, including your privacy settings and the products and features you use. If you choose not to provide your personal information that we request, we may not be able to provide you with related services, nor will we be able to respond to or handle the problems you may encounter. We collect personal information to operate more efficiently and provide you with an optimal user experience. We collect information about you in three primary ways:

(1)        directly from you;

(2)        automatically from your use of the App;

(3)        from third parties.

 

If the following clauses explicitly state that your relevant information is only kept locally, then the information is only collected and processed locally on your device and it will not be uploaded to our server, which means such information is not bound by this Privacy Notice. This is to clear up all your doubts and stay transparent about our processing of personal information.

Please note that if you provide other people's personal information to us, you must ensure that you have obtained authorization from the personal information subjects concerned.

 

1.1            App features, personal information we collect and use, and intended purposes

(1)         HeyTap Account sign-up and sign-in

To use the App, you need to first sign up for a HeyTap Account or, if you already have one, sign in to your HeyTap Account. During the sign-up or sign-in process, we may collect your phone number or email address, password, and sign-up SMS message. Such information is necessary for you to complete the sign-up or sign-in process. If you do not provide such information, we will not be able to provide you with the sign-up or sign-in service. You may also choose whether to provide us with information such as your username and profile picture to complete your account details. You are not obliged to provide such information to use account services. If you do not provide it, you can still use the account sign-up and sign-in services. For more details on the protection of personal information needed for account sign-up and sign-in, please refer to the HeyTap Account Privacy Notice.

 

(2)         Device management: pairing or unpairing

To allow you to manage your wireless device, including pairing or unpairing it with or from the App and changing its name, the App needs to obtain the wireless device's uniform type identifier (i.e., the device ID, a string of encrypted characters consisting of the device identifier, device model, and serial number and your Wi-Fi password) and the wireless device name you have set on the device's web-based user interface (web UI). The aforementioned information will be encrypted and uploaded to our server. In addition, the App will obtain other information about your wireless device through our server, including the hardware and software versions, MAC address, and serial number for display in the App.

 

(3)         Network settings: Wi-Fi/LAN/WAN

In the App, you may go to the "Wi-Fi settings", "LAN settings", or "WAN settings" section to browse and complete relevant network settings. For the Wi-Fi network, you can set the network's SSID, password, encryption method, and Wi-Fi on/off status; for the LAN network, you can set the LAN gateway's IP address and the DHCP address pool; for the WAN network, you can set the device network mode.

 

(4)         Termimal device management

After pairing your wireless device with the App, you can manage the termimal devices connected to the wireless device or the network formed by the wireless device through the blocklist or allowlist. In blocklist mode, devices included in the blocklist are not allowed to connect to the network formed by the wireless device. In allowlist mode, terminal devices excluded from the allowlist are not allowed to connect to the network. To enable you to manage the terminal devices connected to the wireless device, the App needs to obtain the names, IP addresses, and MAC addresses of the devices. After these devices are displayed in the App, you can perform relevant device settings and edit the blocklist or allowlist.

 

(5)         Parental control

You may also specify when the devices on the wireless device's network can access the network and when they cannot. To this end, the App will need to obtain the names, MAC addresses, and IP addresses of these devices as well as the time limits you set for them (the network restriction period and the network access period).

 

(6)         Wi-Fi sharing

You may also share the name and password of the Wi-Fi network to which your wireless device is connected with your friends through Bluetooth, SMS, WeChat, Facebook, or any other method. If you share the information through a third-party app, it will obtain your Wi-Fi network's SSID and password.

 

(7)         Detection of upgrades for devices connected to your wireless device

To display the firmware version currently running on your wireless device and the latest version available, the APP needs to obtain the corresponding version information from you wireless device.

 

(8)         OPPO Connect upgrades

To display the App version currently in use and the latest version available, the App needs to collect the App version you use currently. Depending on the size of the upgrade APK file, installing the upgrade APK will consume a certain amount of your data.

Non-personal information

During your use of the App, we may collect certain non-personal information such as log and event tracking data that has been processed with data masking techniques (de-identification, anonymization, etc.). Non-personal information refers to information that cannot, either directly or indirectly, relate to any particular individual. We may process aggregate data or other anonymized data.

The purpose of collecting non-personal information is to help us fully understand user preferences, improve our operational efficiency, and improve our products/services and your user experience. Non-personal information will be considered personal information if it is used in combination with personal information.

 

1.2            How we use your personal information

We will use your personal information for the following purposes:

      To provide you with related products and services as described above;

      To assist you in registering, activating, and verifying the products or services you purchased and the warranty services and software licenses granted to you and send you OS or app update notices;

      To diagnose product or service issues and provide technical support and other customer care and support services;

      To improve and develop our services including improving the user experience, user-friendliness, performance, functionality, and design of our products;

Your personal information will only be used for the purposes identified, described, and authorized by you at the time of collection. We will obtain your prior consent if we intend to use your personal information for any purpose not stated in this Privacy Notice or when personal information collected for a specific purpose is used for other purposes. Without your consent, we will not provide your personal information or behavioral data to any third party.

 

2.       How We Use Cookies and Other Similar Technologies

      Wireless device information, App information, network information, settings, and personal information and data in connection with other features will be deleted immediately after being processed by those features; they are not uploaded to our server for storage.

 

4.       How We Share, Transfer or Publicly Disclose Your Personal Information

We may, from time to time, share your personal information with our affiliates and strategic partners to jointly provide you with the required products or services or upon your request. The strategic partners include cloud service providers, data storage facility providers, customer service providers, advertising and marketing service providers, and other third-party service providers that provide technical and customer support to us.

If we or our affiliates intend to change the purpose for which your personal information is used and processed, we will obtain your authorization or consent again.

 

4.2            Our authorized partners. Some of our services will be provided by our authorized partners only for the purposes stated in this Privacy Notice. Therefore, we may share some of your personal information with such partners in order to provide services to you and improve your user experience. Specifically:

We may need to share your personal information with our service providers, including but not limited to cloud service providers or other technical service providers, so that they can process the information to provide you with the necessary product or service features. Such service providers may receive and store some of your personal information, but they will not use such information for any other purposes.

 

4.3            Any entity involved in a merger, acquisition or bankruptcy liquidation. When we are in the process of a merger, acquisition or bankruptcy liquidation, and if such process requires the transfer of your personal information, we will require the new company or organization that holds your personal information to continue to be bound by this Privacy Notice; otherwise, we will require this company or organization to obtain your consent again. If the process does not involve the transfer of personal information, we will adequately inform you and delete or anonymize all your personal information under our control.

 

4.4            Any entity to which you authorize us to disclose your personal information.

 

4.5            Any entity to which we are legally required to disclose your personal information. For example, when we are required to comply with subpoenas or other legal procedures, litigations, or mandatory requirements of government authorities, we may disclose your personal information if we sincerely believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to government requests.

We will share or transfer your personal information only for legitimate, proper, necessary, specific, and explicit purposes, and we will only share personal information which is necessary for the provision of the required services. In addition, we will require the above-mentioned third parties to take appropriate confidentiality and security measures during their processing of your personal information by means of agreements or other appropriate measures.

 

5.       How We Protect Your Personal Information

5.1            Our data protection measures

We adopt technical and organizational measures that are reasonable and actionable to protect the information we collect in connection with our services. We have introduced safeguards up to industry standards to protect the personal information provided by you from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, or alteration, or from damage or loss. We take all reasonable and actionable measures to protect your personal information. For example:

 

(1)         We use mainstream security safeguards such as SSL or TLS to encrypt our services and transmission channels. We regularly review our practices regarding information collection, storage, and processing (including physical security measures) to protect our systems from unauthorized access or alteration.

(2)         We strictly control access to personal information and only grant access permissions to our employees and those of an authorized service provider who need to access personal information in order to help us process such information. These employees are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations. If they fail to perform these obligations, they may be held legally liable or be terminated. Personal information access logs will be kept and audited periodically.

(3)         The security of your information is very important to us. Therefore, we will continue our efforts to protect the security of your personal information and implement safeguards such as encrypting stored data and using end-to-end encryption during transmission to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. In addition, certain encrypted data is inaccessible to anyone other than the user.

(4)         When transmitting and storing special types of personal information such as sensitive personal information, we will use security measures such as encryption. When storing your personal biometric information, we will take technical measures to process it, such as only storing a summary of your personal biometric information.

(5)         We carefully select business partners and service providers and include our requirements for personal information protection in our business contracts, audits, or assessments.

(6)         We conduct security and privacy protection training, tests, and publicity activities to raise our employees' awareness of the importance of personal information protection.

(7)         We use international and industry-recognized standards to protect your personal information and actively acquire security and privacy protection certifications.

5.2        Notification and response to personal information security events

Please note that although we take reasonable measures to protect your information, no websites, Internet transfers, computer systems, or Wi-Fi connections are 100 percent secure. In the event of any security breach of your personal information, we will promptly inform you of the event in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including the situation and the possible impact of the event, the measures taken or to be taken by us, suggestions on how you can prevent and reduce risks, and remedies available to you. We will promptly inform you of such information by email, letter, phone, or push notification. When it is difficult to inform each personal information subject concerned, we will publish an announcement in a reasonable and effective manner. We will also report the handling of the event in accordance with the requirements of regulatory authorities.

 

6.       Your Rights to Your Personal Information

We respect your rights to your personal information. The following lists your rights under the law and explains how we will protect your rights.

The performance of each service function requires certain basic personal information (see the "How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information" section of this Privacy Notice). You can change the scope of the personal information you authorize us to collect or withdraw your authorization by deleting information, turning off app permissions, changing settings on the product or feature settings page, or deleting your account.

7.       How We Process Children's Personal Information

We greatly value our obligation and responsibility for protecting children's personal information. We strive to create a healthy cyber environment for minors and take extra efforts to protect children. We treat anyone under the age of 18 (or a similar minimum age of full legal capacity defined in the jurisdiction concerned) as a child.

 

Most of the features and services provided by the App are intended for adults and do not target children, and we do not provide services directly to children. Please note that due to technical limitations and other objective factors, the App may not be able to actively identify the age of users.

 

According to applicable laws and regulations, if you are a child, you shall obtain the consent of your parent or another guardian before using the App, and be sure to carefully read this Privacy Notice together with them. Children may not use the App without the consent of their parents or other guardians.

 

We do not actively collect, store, use, transfer, or disclose children's personal information, let alone use their personal information for marketing purposes. If you are a child, or if you are a parent or guardian of a child, or if you otherwise find that any information we processed may contain the personal information of a child, please contact us as set forth under Section 12 "Contact Us". We will do everything we can to delete the relevant data as soon as possible.

 

8.       Third-Party Service Providers and Their Services

Our websites, products, apps, and services may be provided by third parties or may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services. You can choose whether to access or use any website, product, or service provided by a third party.

We have no control over third-party privacy and data protection policies as such third parties are not bound by this Privacy Notice. Before you submit personal information to third parties, please refer to their privacy policies. For example:

If you use the Wi-Fi sharing feature to share your Wi-Fi network's SSID and password with others through a third-party app supporting instant messaging, such app will collect your Wi-Fi network's SSID and password. Before doing so, please carefully read the third party's privacy policy.

 

9.       How Your Personal Information Is Transferred Globally

As a company operating globally, we provide products and services through our resources and servers distributed around the world. For the purpose of ensuring the high quality of our services (such as a high processing speed) and subject to local data protection laws, we will store your personal data based on the region where your device is purchased or the region set for your device. We have established data centers in France, Singapore, India, South Africa, and Indonesia. This means that your personal information may be transferred to or accessed from a jurisdiction outside the country or region where you use the relevant products or services.

 

You understand that there are different risks under different data protection laws. We will take measures to ensure that the data collected by us is processed in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable laws, and that your personal information is as equally protected as in the country or region where you use the relevant products or services.

 

10.        GDPR-Related Terms

This section only applies to users located in the European Union, Liechtenstein, Norway, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland ("Europe"). If you are living in Europe, OROPE Germany GmbH with address at Graf-Adolf-Platz 15, 40213 Düsseldorf is the controller of your personal data.

 

10.1            Legal bases for processing personal information

The processing of your personal information described in the "How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information" section in Part A is lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

In particular, we may ask for your consent to our promotional activities, such as sending you promotional messages, inviting you to participate in our "User Experience Program", and providing you with specific services including the services requiring your location information. You have the right to refuse or withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of our use of your personal information based on consent before its withdrawal. If you have given consent to our use of your personal information, we will use your information only for the purposes stated in the consent. Please note that to the extent our processing is based on your consent, if you refuse or withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with the service related thereto. Neither the initial refusal nor the withdrawal of consent will result in any negative consequences to you.

      To pursue or defend against legal claims.

 

We will process your personal information for the above purposes only after we fully evaluate and balance our interests against your rights to privacy.

 

10.2            Global transfers of your personal information

In case your personal data is transferred to jurisdictions outside Europe, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards exist and are applied; for example:

      The recipient of the personal data is located in a country that benefits from an "adequacy" decision of the European Commission.

      The recipient has signed a contract based on the "Standard Contractual Clauses" approved by the European Commission, obliging them to protect your personal information.

      Or in the absence of the above appropriate safeguards, we will ask for your express consent to transfer your personal data across borders or we will take any other measures that are recognized as providing a sufficient level of protection for your personal data.

      Right to erasure: You can submit a request to us to delete your personal information, and we shall have the obligation to erase it without undue delay in some circumstances – for example, if we do not have a legal reason to continue to process the personal information to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations. Please note that the erasure of all your personal information from your device does not mean that it will erase all the data relating to you that OPPO has collected or processed. Therefore, we encourage you to submit a data deletion request to us using the information provided in the "Contact Us" section above.

      Right to restrict processing: You have the right to request OPPO to temporarily limit the way we process your personal information in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of your personal information and we are verifying its accuracy.

      Right to object: Where personal information concerning you is processed for legitimate interest purposes, you have the right to object to the processing on grounds relating to your particular situation at any time. Should you decide to object to the processing, we will stop processing the personal information concerning you, unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons for continued processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of our establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. You can object to direct marketing activities at any time for any reason whatsoever.

      Right to data portability: You have the right to obtain a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and transmit such data to another provider. In certain circumstances, you can have your personal information transmitted directly from us to any other provider.
