This Privacy Policy incorporates herein the Terms of Use; both statements should be read in conjunction with each other. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Your continued engagement with our Products and Services after such revisions indicates that you accept and consent to them, so please check the Privacy Policy periodically for updates.

For further information regarding data protection in a specific country and/or region, please refer to the privacy policy tailored for that specific country and/or region via https://www.tp-link.com/en/choose-your-location/. You may consult the respective privacy policy for your residing country/region for your data protection.

What Products and Services does this policy cover?

(1) TP-Link branded hardware, firmware, and software products (“Products”);

(2) website(s) that may be accessed at https://www.tp-link.com, https://www.kasasmart.com, and https://www.vigi.com (“Sites”);

1. YOUR INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect and use different types of data from and about you, including:

1.1 Personal Information You Provide to Us:

You provide information to us when you:

  • search for products or services on our website;
  • place order in our stores;
  • download, stream, view, or use content on a device (camera usually), or through a service or application on a device;
  • provide information in Your Account (and you might have more than one if you have used more than one e-mail address or mobile number when you register and use our Products and Services) or Your Profile;
  • configure your settings on, provide data access permissions for, or interact with a TP-Link device or service;
  • communicate with us by phone, e-mail, livechat, or otherwise;
  • complete a questionnaire, a contest entry form, or beta testing application;
  • upload or stream images, videos, or other files to the cloud Services;
  • post new topics on the TP-Link Community forum.

As a result of those actions, you might supply us with information such as:

  • identifying information such as your name, address, and phone numbers;
  • payment information;
  • your location information;
  • people, addresses, and phone numbers listed in your Addresses;
  • email address;
  • content of livechats, posts, and emails to us;
  • personal description and photograph in Your Profile;
  • images and videos collected by cameras or stored in connection with subscribed cloud services;
  • device log files and configurations, including Wi-Fi credentials, if you choose to automatically synchronize them with your other devices or third-party accounts.

 

1.2 Automatic Information

We automatically collect information about you when you access or use our Products and Services. For example, when you connect hardware devices or third-party services to your account, those hardware devices may report usage information to the Services, and the Services may read, process, and store this information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Such information is usually associated with the usage of the particular hardware device or third-party service, such as when a motion sensor senses motion. The Services will receive information about the device activation, as well as the information that you have chosen to associate with the Product or Service such as device name, group name, and location name. The type of the Product or Service from which information is received will change the types and quantities of information that is received.

We also collect the information about how you interact with our Site and Services, which may include the pages accessed and links clicked on our site, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, MAC address, access times, location, mobile device information, operating system, browser type, certain demographic information, application information, and other information associated with how you interact with the Site and Services. We will collect a device’s browser history and access time when the device is under the control of the Parental Controls feature, such as the Parental Controls feature on Deco Products, in order to better monitor the device which is under control. We will record and analyze a device's attempted URL connections and block access to malicious websites (such as phishing / fraud / fake websites) only when the device has the Real-Time Protection feature enabled. Data will no longer be collected after you turn off this feature.

 

1.3 Information from Other Sources

We may receive data from other sources including, but not limited to, third-party service providers which you have integrated into our Products and Services and/or voluntarily have provided with data and/or from our authorized partners, or others that we use to fulfill our obligations to you as a customer. You should carefully and diligently review the terms and conditions and privacy policies of those third-party products and services, and we will consider your decision to use those third-party products and services with our Products and Services to be a representation to us that you have consented to the third parties' terms and practices.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use your personal information to operate, provide, develop, and improve the products and services that we offer our products. These purposes include:

  • Purchase and delivery of products and services. We use your personal information to take and handle orders, deliver products and services, process payments, and communicate with you about orders, products and services, and promotional offers.
  • Provide, troubleshoot, and improve our Products and Services. We use your personal information to provide functionality, analyze performance, fix errors, and improve the usability and effectiveness of our Products and Services.
  • Recommendations and personalization. We use your personal information to recommend features, products, and services that might be of interest to you, identify your preferences, and personalize your experience with our Products and Services.
  • Provide voice, image, and camera services. When you use our voice, image, and camera services, we use your voice input, images, videos, and other personal information to respond to your requests, provide the requested service to you, and improve our services.

We will only process your personal data for the purposes of providing Products and Services in compliance with applicable laws, as may be amended from time to time.

3. WHAT ABOUT COOKIES AND OTHER IDENTIFIERS?

Cookies are small pieces of text used to store information on web browsers. Cookies are used to store and receive identifiers and other information on computers, phones, and other devices. Other technologies, including data that we store on your web browser or device, identifiers associated with your device and other software, are used for similar purposes. In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies”.

We use cookies to distinguish you from other users. This helps us deliver a better and more personalized service when you use our Products and Services. It also allows us to improve our Products and Services by enabling us to:

  • estimate our audience size and usage patterns;
  • store your preferences so we may customize our Products and Services according to your individual interests;
  • speed up your searches;
  • recognize you when you return;
  • keep your account, data, and our Products and Services safe and secure;
  • promote the products or services to you that you may be interested in; and

You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting, certain parts of our Website may become inaccessible and certain features may not work correctly. Unless you adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, our system will issue them.

4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We may share your personal information internally and externally with suppliers, advisors, or Partners for our legitimate business purposes, and only on a need-to-know basis. When sharing personal information, we implement appropriate checks and controls to confirm that the information can be shared in accordance with applicable laws. Here’s more detail about who we may share your information with and in what kinds of situations:

(1) With Our Authorized Partners: We may share your information with our authorized partners. We share information with our authorized partners to

  • promote safety, security, and integrity and comply with applicable laws;
  • personalize offers, ads, and other sponsored or commercial content;
  • develop and provide features and integrations;
  • understand how customers use and interact with our Products and Services.

(2) Service Providers: To assist in our business operations and better provide Products and Services (e.g., for software maintenance services, advertising serving technologies, e-mail services, delivery services, database management services, web analytics, and other services), we may share your information with such service provider.

(3) Other Entities with Your Consent: You may choose to integrate certain third-party services with our Services. By doing so, you authorize us to transmit your personal information to third parties when you choose to integrate their services with our Services. Information collected by such third-party services is subject to their own terms and policies, all of which you should carefully and diligently review.

(4) Marketing: We may aggregate anonymized user information and provide it to our third-party marketing service providers only for our promotional and/or marketing practices.

(5) Change of Control: We may be required to share your information as part of a merger, acquisition, asset sale, asset purchase, financing, bankruptcy, or other change of control.

(6) Responding to Legal Requests: We may share information where we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with an applicable law or legal process or (b) respond to actual or potential complaints or legal claims, like search warrants, court orders, production orders, or subpoenas. These requests come from third parties such as civil litigants, law enforcement, and other government authorities. Or (c) where otherwise necessary to protect our rights, interests, and/or property (including, without limitation, to enforce our agreements), or the rights, interests, and/or property of our agents, independent contractors, customers, and others.

5. SECURITY

We have implemented measures, including encryption and TLS technology, designed to secure your personal data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. In addition, we restrict the number of staff in charge with access to your personal data to the minimum level and frequently conduct training and education so that they comply with the confidentiality obligations with respect to your personal data.

Your account’s privacy and security are protected by your password. In order to prevent unauthorized access to your account and personal data, you should select a strong password and protect it by limiting access to your computer, device, browser, or application and by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. If you use a third-party service to sign into your account, you should protect that account accordingly as well.

 

While we strive to always protect the privacy of your account and personal data in our records, we cannot always guarantee it will be completely secure. The security of your personal data may be compromised by unauthorized entry, unauthorized use, hardware failure, software failure, and other factors at any time.

Here are some best practices to protect your TP-Link ID account:

  • Use complex passwords (a mixture of upper and lower letters, numbers, and symbols) when signing up.
  • Use a unique password different from other website accounts to avoid being involved in their accidental data breaches.
  • Change your passwords regularly.
  • Use 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) if possible.

6. HOW WE STORE AND PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION

Your information will be transferred or transmitted to, or stored and processed in the following circumstances in accordance with the purposes stated within this Privacy Policy:

  • Places we have infrastructure or data centers, including the United States, Ireland, and Singapore, among other Countries where TP-Link Products and Services are available. Typically, the primary storage region is the region that is closest to the customer’s region, often with backups to data centers in another region. The storage location(s) are chosen in order to operate efficiently, to improve performance, and to create redundancies in order to protect the data in the event of an outage or other problem.
  • Other countries where our Partners, vendors, service providers and third parties are located outside of the country where you live, for purposes as described in this Privacy Policy.

These countries may have different privacy standards that differ from where you are. Please note that data processed in another country may be subject to different laws and may be accessible to government, judicial, law enforcement, and regulatory agencies in those countries. However, we will take appropriate measures to guarantee an adequate level of data protection even if your personal data are transferred to these countries.

7. THIRD-PARTY LINKS

The Services may include links to third-party websites whose privacy practices may differ from ours. Your usage of any such websites is governed by the privacy policies of those websites and not this Privacy Policy. You should carefully review the privacy policy of any website you visit. We will consider your decision to use those third-party products and services with our Products and Services to be a representation to us that you have consented to the third parties' terms and practices.

8. YOUR CHOICES

We offer you a variety of tools to view, manage, download, and delete your information below. You can also manage your information by visiting the settings of the Products you use.

Any and all information or content publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Services is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such content originated. You access all such information and content at your own risk. We are not liable for any errors or omissions in that information or content or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it.

In the event that we elect to terminate your account, we will try to provide advance notice to you prior to termination so that you are able to retrieve any important Content stored in your account.

Terms of Sevice

1. Overview and Relation to Other Agreements. Your use of the Kasa Care services (the “Kasa Care Services”) is governed by this Kasa Care Service Agreement (the “Service Agreement”) and the Terms of Use <http://www.tp-link.com/us/privacy#sec_b> and Privacy Policy <http://www.tp-link.com/us/privacy>. All additional guidelines, terms, or rules in the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy are incorporated by reference into this Service Agreement and you are agreeing to accept and abide by them by using the Kasa Care Services.

2. Service Summary. When you purchase a Kasa Cam product, you have the option of using our Kasa Care Services. With the Kasa Care Services, any video footage captured by your Kasa Cam is automatically sent to our servers for storage. From your iOS or Android device(s) you can then access recordings covering limited timeframes (e.g., 2 days, 2 weeks or 1 month) depending on your level of Kasa Care Services.

3. Free Trial. When you first set up and register your Kasa Cam, you will be automatically enrolled in a free trial of Kasa Care Services, which entitles you to access your Kasa Cam video recordings without payment for a limited period of thirty (30) days beginning with the day you activate your Kasa Cam. During the free trial period you will have access to up to thirty (30) days of your daily Kasa Cam recordings.  We have no obligation to notify you when your free trial ends, and we reserve the right to modify or terminate any free trial at any time, without notice and at our sole discretion. If you do not enroll into a Kasa Care paid subscription plan at the end of the trial period, your Kasa Care Services will convert to a Basic Plan (defined below) that only provides access to two (2) days of Kasa Cam recordings.  We may (but are not obligated to) delete any or all of your Kasa Cam recordings stored on our servers that become inaccessible to you as a result of your free trial period expiring and converting to a Basic Plan.  If your Kasa Cam is reset to its factory settings during the free trial period, the free trial will not reset to a new 30-day free trial. 

4. Subscription Plans. Every Kasa Cam comes with our free Basic Kasa Care Services plan (“Basic Plan”) that provides you access to two (2) days of your Kasa Cam recordings. We also offer multiple tiers of paid subscription plans for our Kasa Care Services. For plan details and plan pricing, please visit <www.tp-link.com/us/kasacare>. Subscription fees are charged on the first day of the applicable subscription period. If your credit card transaction is declined or your credit card expires, we reserve the right to cancel your Kasa Care Services subscription, but your subscription will not automatically be terminated.  You will remain responsible for all unpaid amounts that accrue as a result of your declined or expired credit card.  Additionally, you will be responsible for all costs we incur in connection with the collection of such unpaid amounts, including court costs, attorneys' fees, collection agency fees and any other associated costs.

(a) Subscription Renewal. All Kasa Care Services subscription plans renew automatically. When we renew your subscription plan, we will use the payment method then currently associated with your account. You will not be notified in advance of impending renewals unless you choose an annual subscription plan, in which case we will send an annual renewal reminder to the email associated with your account. Following the processing of your applicable subscription payment, we will send you a receipt to the email associated with your account. When you purchase any of our Kasa Care Services subscription plans, you expressly acknowledge and agree that (1) TP-Link is authorized to charge you a subscription fee (in addition to any applicable taxes) on a monthly or annually recurring basis depending on the billing cycle you choose and the promotion code you apply, if any, for as long as your subscription is in effect, and (2) your subscription is in effect until you cancel it or it is terminated at our discretion because your credit card was declined or you otherwise fail to pay your subscription fee.

(b) Plan Modification.

  1. Cancellation. You may cancel your Kasa Care Services paid subscription at any time by downgrading to the Basic Plan from the “Kasa Care” menu item on the Kasa app. When you cancel a monthly subscription plan, you cancel only future charges associated with your subscription plan and are not entitled to a refund. When you cancel an annual subscription plan, you cancel future charges associated with your subscription plan and you are entitled to the applicable prorated refund. For more details on our refund policy, please visit <Link-TBD>. Upon cancellation of your subscription, we may (but are not obligated to) delete any or all of your Kasa Cam recordings stored on our servers, that become inaccessible to you as a result of your cancellation of a paid subscription plan and downgrade to the Basic Plan. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your subscription for any reason, with or without notice in accordance with the Terms of Use <http://www.tp-link.com/us/privacy#sec_b >.
  2. Plan Changes. You may change to a different paid subscription plan at any time from the “Kasa Care” menu item on the Kasa app. In order to change your billing cycle type (Annual vs. Monthly) you will be required to cancel your plan and re-enroll. For more details regarding our plan changes and refund policy please visit <Link-TBD[MP1] >. Upon any changes to your subscription, we may (but are not obligated to) delete any or all of your Kasa Cam recordings stored on our servers, that become inaccessible to you as a result of your change in subscription plan.

(c) Incorrect Payments. If we charge less or more than the correct or advertised amount on a transaction, we have the right for up to thirty (30) days after such transaction date to complete subsequent transaction attempts in order to rectify the incorrect payment.

(d) Pricing. Prices of our Kasa Care Services subscription plans are subject to change at any time, but changes will not affect your current subscriptions. In the event that we change the pricing for any Kasa Care Services subscription plan you have purchased, we will give you 30 days advance notice of this change and will take effect on your next billing cycle.  After receiving such notice, you will be deemed to have accepted the change in pricing, unless you cancel your subscription as set forth in section (b) above.

5. Suspension of video recording. You may stop video/audio recording from your camera at any time. From the Kasa App, go to the “Privacy” section under “Camera Settings” and select “Do Not Record Video or Audio”. For more details, please visit “What is Privacy Mode” <http://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-1959.html>.  Your choice to stop video/audio recording does not modify or cancel your then existing subscription plan.
