At the same time, we ensure that we comply with relevant laws, regulations, and other normative documents. Expressly, for the following occasions, you must agree to provide the following types of information so that we can safely and effectively realize this basic function. Otherwise, you may not be able to enjoy the corresponding services.

(1) Product/Service Information Displaying

When you browse our websites, to display our products and/or services to you, we may collect your IP address, device-related information you use to access the website (such as the type of browser used, operating system information), language used or country, accessing date and time, etc.

2. Additional Features That Require the Collection and Use of Your Personal Data

Our websites may support one or more of the following additional functions to enable you to enjoy more features and enhance your user experience. Please confirm whether the website you visit has these additional functions. We may collect and use your personal data when you use the following additional features. You can still use the aforementioned basic functions if you do not provide personal data. However, you may be unable to use additional functions to provide more excellent services. These additional features include:

(2) Order Service

When you order products on our websites, we may collect your order information like shipping address, billing information, phone number, and other necessary information to process your order, deliver your items, provide you with the invoice, and deal with your order refund request. After you place an order and complete the payment online, third-party delivery companies (hereinafter referred to as "delivery companies") that cooperate with us will complete the delivery of your order. You are aware and agree that the third-party delivery company that cooperates with us will use your order information during the above steps to ensure the safe delivery of your ordered goods.

3. We Obtain Your Personal Data from a Third Party

Under some circumstances, we may obtain your personal data from a third party as permitted by laws.
Suppose our business development requires processing your personal data beyond the scope of your original authorization and consent provided at the time of data submission to third-party service providers. In that case, we will seek your explicit consent before such processing. In addition, we will strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations and require third-party service providers to ensure the legitimacy of the information they provide.

4. Non-personal Data We Collect

We may also collect other information that cannot directly or indirectly identify specific individuals and is not personal data under locally applicable laws. Such information is called non-personal data. For example, the statistical data generated when you use a specific service, such as the user's operational behavior (including clicks, page jumps, and browsing time). The purpose of collecting the said information is to improve the services we provide to you. The type and amount of information collected depends on how you use our products and/or services. We will summarize such information to help us provide customers with more useful information and understand which parts of our website, products, and services customers are most interested in. Concerning this Policy, aggregated data is considered non-personal data. If we combine non-personal data with personal data for usage, such information will be regarded as personal data.

II Cookies and Other Technologies

Dreame and our Third Party Service Providers use technologies such as cookies, tags, and scripts. These technologies are used to analyze trends, manage the site, track users’ browsing, and gather demographic information about our user base.

Various browsers may offer their management tool for removing HTML5 LSOs.

III How We Conduct the Entrusted Processing, Sharing, Transferring, and Public Disclosure of Your Personal Data

1. Entrusted Processing

Dreame may entrust other companies to process your personal data on our behalf. We promise you that when we entrust third-party companies to process the said information, we will comply with the following requirements:
1. The analysis we entrust them to do shall not exceed the scope of authorization and consent we have obtained from you unless your consent is not mandatory.
2. We evaluate the data security capabilities of the entrusted party in advance to ensure the party has the said capabilities as required by local laws and regulations.

2. Sharing

Generally, we will not share your personal data except for the following cases:
1. After obtaining your express consent, Dreame will share the information within your authorization with the third party designated by you.
2. Part of our products and services are provided by third-party service providers, with whom we need to provide some of your personal data, such as IT services, customer support services, e-mail sending services, and other similar services, to ensure that they can provide services for us. Data will be shared with third parties through the Application Programming Interface (API) and Software Development Kit (SDK). SDKs of different third parties will be different, and they generally include third-party account login, sharing, third-party payment, manufacturers' push, statistics, etc. We will conduct strict security testing on the third party and impose data protection measures. Before you enter the third-party page for the first time, the third-party service provider will show you the relevant agreements and privacy statements. Please read these agreements and privacy statements carefully.
Suppose we share your personal data with these third parties. In that case, we will rely on encryption and other means to ensure your information security. For companies and organizations with whom we share personal data, we will reasonably review their data security environment, sign strict data processing agreements with them, require the said third parties to take adequate protection measures for your information, and strictly comply with relevant laws, regulations, and regulatory requirements.
3. We disclose your personal data to subsidiaries or other third parties in the event of reorganization, merger, sale, entering into partnership, assignment, transfer, or other disposal of all or part of our business, assets, or shares (including but not limited to bankruptcy or any similar proceedings as described). In this case, you will receive explicit notification of changes in ownership, incompatibility of new ways of using personal data, and selection of personal data via email and/or our websites.
4. When we deem it necessary or appropriate, we shall (a) comply with locally applicable laws and regulations, (b) comply with legal procedures, (c) respond to requests from public institutions and government authorities, including those outside your country of residence; (d) fulfill our terms and conditions; (e) protect our operations, businesses, and systems; (f) protect the rights, privacy, security or property of ours and/or other users, including you; and (g) seek available remedies or limit the damages we may be required to provide.
5. We disclose your personal data to Dreame’s subsidiaries or affiliates to conduct business activities regularly.

3. Transferring

Transferring means we lose control over your personal data, and the transferee obtains control over your personal data. We will not transfer your personal data to any company, organization, or individual. Should it be necessary to do so, we will transfer it in accordance with applicable laws and inform you of the purpose of the transfer, the personal data involved, the transferee, etc.
Information transfer may occur under the following circumstances:
1. Transfer based on your express consent: after obtaining your express consent, we will transfer your personal data to other parties.
2. In case of merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy liquidation, should personal data transferring be involved, we will require the new company or organization holding your personal data to continue to be bound by this statement. Otherwise, we will require the company or organization to ask you for authorization and consent again.

4. Public Disclosure

In principle, we will not publicly disclose your personal data. Should public disclosure be really necessary, we will inform you in advance of the purpose of this public disclosure, the type of information disclosed, and the content of personal sensitive information that may be involved, obtain your express consent, and perform relevant obligations in accordance with locally applicable laws.
We will only publicly disclose your personal data under the following circumstances:
1. After your express consent is obtained.
2. Legal disclosure: we may publicly disclose your personal data in compliance with local laws, legal procedures, litigation, or mandatory requirements of government authorities.

5. Information That Does Not Require Consent

We may share anonymous information with third parties (such as advertisers on our websites) in the form of aggregation for commercial purposes; we may share with them general usage trends of our services, such as the number of customers in a specific group who buy certain products or engage in certain transactions.
To dispel doubt, we may collect, use, or disclose your personal data without your consent as expressly permitted by local data protection laws (e.g., to comply with subpoenas). Besides, we may disclose your information without your consent when we believe it is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, conduct fraud investigations, or respond to government requests.

IV How We Store and Protect Your Personal Data

1. Where We Store Your Personal Data

Currently, Dreame runs data centers in the United States, Germany, and Singapore. Your personal data is stored on the server according to the region in which you live. If you are a European Union user under the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as “GDPR”), your personal data will be stored on the German server.

2. Storage Period

We retain personal data for a period for the sake of information collection described in this Policy, or we do so in compliance with locally applicable relevant legal requirements. After fulfilling the purpose of personal data collection, or after we confirm your application of deletion or cancellation, or after we terminate the operation of corresponding products or services, we will stop retaining personal data and delete or anonymize it. If it is for public interest, scientific, historical research, or statistics, we will retain relevant data based on applicable laws, even if further data processing is irrelevant to the original purpose.

3. Protection Measures

We promise to ensure the security of your data. To prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or similar risks, we have implemented reasonable physical, electronic, and management measures and processes to protect the information we collect. We will take all reasonable measures to protect your personal data.
We classify your data according to importance and sensitivity and ensure your personal data is protected at the highest security level. We guarantee that employees and third-party service providers who provide products and services to you by accessing this information have strict contractual confidentiality obligations. If they fail to fulfill these obligations, they will be subject to disciplinary punishment or termination of cooperation. We regularly review information collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to prevent unauthorized access and use.
We will take all feasible measures to protect your personal data. However, you should be aware that Internet use is not always safe. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal data during two-way transmission through the Internet.

V Your Rights

According to your country or region's applicable laws and regulations, you are entitled to relevant rights on any of your personal data (hereinafter referred to as "the Request") held by us. Most laws require that requests made by individuals should comply with specific requirements, and this Policy requires that your request should meet the following circumstances:
1. Through our special request channel, and to protect your information security, your request should be in writing (unless local laws explicitly recognize oral application).
2. You should provide sufficient information so that we can verify your identity and ensure that the requester is the subject or a legally authorized person of the requested information.
We have the right to refuse to deal with meaningless/repeated requests, requests for unreasonable technical work, requests that violate the privacy of others, extremely unrealistic requests, and requests that do not need to be granted under local law. We may also refuse your request if we believe that some aspects of your request may prevent us from legally using the data for the above-mentioned anti-fraud and security purposes.
Once we have sufficient information to confirm that we can process your request, we will respond to your request within the time specified by applicable data protection laws.
Specifically, you can contact us via privacy@dreame.tech to exercise the following rights:

1. Accessing Your Personal Data
