Who has access?
|
3.1

Contact information
|
Location, user name and email provided by the user through
account registration in the application.
|
Your email, location and user name are considered as
information that can directly identify a user. This
information is thus directly identifiable data fields.
|
Contact information is needed to enable you to use the
products and services, send you account notifications,
product and service updates, software updates and upgrades.
In case you sign up for receiving information and marketing
material from VELUX (separate consent), we will use your
contact information for this purpose as well.
|
If you agree to receive information and marketing material,
your acceptance, plus your email address will be
forwarded to the VELUX sales company established in your
home country. During the periodin which you receive
information and marketing material, your personal data will
be stored at NETATMO's data center and in VELUX.
|
3.2
|
User data
|
User data relates to your activity in the application, the
settings in the app, and has a unique ID attached to you as
a user.
|
When tracking movements in the app, we cannot see who is
using the app. However, in the rare case of an app
continuously crashing, we have the option of taking the
unique description of the user ID in the app analytics system and search for the user email in another system. User data is
hence indirect personal data.
|
User data enables us to improve the product functionalities
and services and to ensure that the product functionalities
are continuously up-to-date with new technologies etc.
Examples of user data are: how frequent certain functions
or buttons in the app are used to interact with the VELUX
products (for example a manual "open window"), frequency of
manual interventions in the algorithms and how many times
the functions are executed.

IP address, product IDs, hardware version and installation.
Further, the sensor values measured, the number of rooms
& houses and actuator movements.

Unique identifiers such as the IP address and the MAC
address of your devices are considered directly
identifiable personal information. Hardware version,
software version and sensor values are considered as
indirectly identifiable, as they, if isolated, cannot lead
to anyone identifying a person.

hardware, and understand and respect your preferences for a
better service experience.
