(i) providing, processing, maintaining, improving, and developing our goods and/or Services to you, and Services provided through your device or by Aztech;
(ii) communicating with you about your device, service, or any general queries, such as updates, device firmware/software updates, customer support, related information, and notices);

You may turn off this feature at any time via the device settings or by discontinuing your use of the application.
(vi) Accessing devices: Devices on which the application is operated must be verified. We need to confirm the legal identity of the device by consulting the factory MAC and DID information. In addition, to connect the device to the network, the device will need to be configured through the application. During the configuration, you must enter the corresponding Wi-Fi name and password. This information will only be used to connect the device to the network. The Wi-Fi and password data you enter will be encrypted and stored locally on your device and will not be uploaded to the server. In addition, you may access the device and delete this information at any time. It is necessary for us to analyse the device’s IP and network signal in order to determine the optimal network connection method, thereby ensuring the stability of the device network.
(vii) Setting up automated tasks: The event information reported by your device can be used to create your personalized automated tasks. This event information comes from the device you have added. The specific information that can be set depends on the scope of your privacy authorization for the device.
(viii) Providing push Services: Account numbers and IMEI Numbers will also be used for the Aztech push service, which sends device notifications to the user. You may turn off this feature at any time by changing the preferences listed under “Message Settings.”
(ix) Verification of user identity: Aztech uses EVC to verify user identities and ensure that hackers or other unverified persons are unable to log in.
(x) Collecting user feedback: The feedback you provide is extremely valuable as it helps us to improve the Services provided by us. We may use the personal information you provide to us to contact you and will retain such information in our records.
(xi) Sending notifications: We may occasionally use your personal information to send important notifications, for example, notifications about the status of device malfunctions, your customized device push notifications (which vary depending on the additional equipment purchased) and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies.

Security commitment

Aztech's security measures

We classify your data based on importance and sensitivity and we will do our best to ensure that your personal information is always protected by a high level of security. We also strive to ensure that employees and third-party service providers who access your personal information in providing products and services to you will be held under strict contractual confidentiality obligations. Similarly, we have special access control measures for cloud-based data storage. In summary, we regularly review our information collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures taken to prevent any unauthorized access and use.

We will take all practicable steps to protect your personal information. You should, however, be aware that the use of the internet is not entirely secure, and for this reason, we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal information which is transferred from you or to you via the internet.

Where there is a breach of personal data, we will act upon the breach in a timely fashion, by notifying the relevant authority and/or the relevant data subjects in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

We retain your personal information for as long as such information is still needed for the purpose(s) for which the information was obtained or for as long as required by applicable laws. We shall cease to retain personal information and remove the means by which the personal information can be associated with particular individuals as soon as it is reasonable to assume that the purpose for which the personal information was collected is no longer being served by retention of the personal information. If further processing of the personal information is required for archiving purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes according to the applicable laws, your personal information may be further retained by us even if the further processing is incompatible with original purposes. In such cases, we will notify you of the new purpose(s) for which your personal data will be used.
