  I.            Introduction

Once HeyMelody is installed , the App will only process data locally on your device, without any access by us. The processing of your data is thus entirely under your own control. We will neither access, collect, transmit or otherwise process such data, nor will we be able to disclose such data to any third party or use it for any purpose. Therefore, this Notice is not intended to meet the information obligations of the applicable data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) if you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), but it is meant to provide you with information so that you truly understand what happens to your data when you use HeyMelody. As we will not process data, if you want to exercise privacy rights in relation to such data or would like to modify or delete it, we will not be able to support you, except to provide information on how you can handle your data yourself.

 II.           Types of Data Processed Locally Within HeyMelody on Your Phone

When you use HeyMelody, the following data will be processed within the App:

·           When you use the pairing/manage wearable device function so that you can control your wearable device via HeyMelody (such as when you pair or manage your headphones), the App may need to collect Bluetooth address, WiFi account data, device data such as device name, model, volume settings and device battery level, and the settings you have chosen. This interaction will only take place between the wearable and the App.

·           When you search for available software updates, the App will display the version of the firmware in use and if there is an update package available for the device model you are using and language settings you have chosen, this will be displayed on your screen available for you to download it when you wish.

III.         How Long Your Data Will Be Stored

The data that is stored on the App will be deleted when you uninstall or reset the App or clear all data in the App manually. Please see the section “Your Options and Rights Regarding Your Data” below for further information.

IV.         How We Protect Your Data

The security of your personal data is of great importance to us. We have adopted security measures that are in line with industry standards to protect your data, and to prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access of the data. We will take all reasonable and practical steps to protect your data within the App. In particular:

      （1）     We will use Secure Sockets Layer encryption (SSL) and other mainstream security technologies to encrypt many of our services during storage. This means that, with very few exceptions, most of the data within the App will be subject to encryption to ensure a high standard of protection.

      （2）     We will conduct security and privacy protection training courses and testing and publicity activities to enhance employees’ awareness of the importance of protecting personal data in order to ensure that privacy compliance mechanisms are implemented into HeyMelody.

      （3）     We will adopt international and industry-recognized standards to protect your data and to actively pass relevant security and privacy protection certifications.

      （4）     However, please note that while we have taken reasonable steps to protect your data, no wireless connection, website, internet communication or any computer system is absolutely secure and your device may still be exposed to cyberthreats. The use of HeyMelody is no exception to this.
