Information We Collect Through Our Robot Devices and APP. Our robot devices collect information in order to function properly. For example, the robot collects information about your WIFI network in order to connect and function wirelessly. Additionally, the robot collects environment information. This is information about the robot's movement throughout the environment it is cleaning, which is necessary to create a “location map” of the robot's domain, and includes the existence of objects or obstacles encountered on its cleaning route. For mobile and web users, SDKs embedded in our App and our Website are set out in Table 2, and the device permissions we will request from you, when it is necessary, are set out in Table 3. If you share your robot device with other users (the “Device Sharing”), in which case you will be the Main Account Holder and other users you invited or approved to have joint control over the robot device will be the Sub Account Holders, the information your robot device collect will also be shared with Sub Account Holders.
Information We Collect from Third Parties. If you access our Website through third parties (e.g., Facebook or Google), or if you share content from our Website to a third-party social media service, the third-party service will send us certain information about you if the third-party service and your account settings with it allow such sharing: the information we receive will depend on the policies and your account settings with the third-party service. You should always review and, if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to our Service.

DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.
To make our Website and services work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. A cookie is a small text file that a website or mobile application saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, shopping cart, or other preferences) over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. To learn more, please see our Cookie Policy.
Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve this site.

You may also choose to download the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Google Ads/Facebook Pixel. We also use Google Ads and Facebook Pixel to deliver tailored advertising on our Website and other websites that you may visit.

Please note that electing to opt-out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications and may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests.
