3) Information sharing

We do not sell or otherwise share personal information about you except as described in this Privacy Policy. Below are the situations in which we may share personal information (always in accordance with data and privacy obligations).

We will share personal information only when we have your permission.
For external (third party) processing: We have vendors, service providers and technicians who help with some of our processing and storage, etc. We do not authorize our service providers to use or disclose your personal information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements.
For legal reasons: We will share personal information with third parties if we believe in good faith that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to (i) meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable government request; (ii) to enforce BAZZ Smart Home policies or contracts, including investigation of potential violations; (iii) to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; and (iv) to protect against harm the rights, property or safety of BAZZ Smart Home, our users or the public as required or permitted by law.
We may share non-personal information (for example, aggregated or anonymized customer data) publicly and with our partners. We take steps to keep this non-personal information from being linked to you and we require our partners to do the same. For example, when you create a BAZZ Smart Home account, download our software, participate in online surveys or interact with us in other ways, we may collect non-personal data such as language preferences, postal codes, area codes, etc.

Your Consent: Except as otherwise noted in this Policy, we will share personal information with service providers, organizations or individuals outside of BAZZ Smart Home only when we have your consent to do so.

4) Closing an account

BAZZ Smart Home generally stores some personal information on servers until you delete or edit it, or for as long as you remain a BAZZ Smart Home customer, in order to provide you with the best user experience. In addition, BAZZ Smart Home may store your personal information to resolve disputes, establish legal defenses, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, enforce our agreements and comply with applicable laws.

You can always delete your account and all related information using your device using the BAZZ Smart Home application: "Profile / Personal Center / Close Account."

5) Security of your information

We use commercially reasonable physical, technical and administrative security measures and safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information. However, since the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot guarantee, ensure, or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. There is no guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your login information. Please note that emails and other communications you send to us through our Site are not encrypted, and we strongly advise you not to communicate any confidential information through these means.

Note: We follow industry-standards (e.g. GDPR) to keep information safe and secure while it is being transmitted over your home network and through the Internet to our servers. In general, BAZZ is a controller of the information collected in connection with its products and services. However, in some cases, such as video/images, you control this data and BAZZ processes it.

6) Policy regarding minors

Only individuals aged 18 and older are permitted to act as owners of BAZZ Smart Home accounts. Authorized users must be over the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where they reside) and they may use the products and services under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian and only if they agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions on your behalf. BAZZ Smart Home products and services do not knowingly collect or store the personal information of anyone under the age of 13.
