Introduction

Brisdom Smart is a platform provided by Foshan Brisdom Technology co.,Ltd. and its affiliates (hereinafter referred to as “Brisdom” or “we”) that supports smart device control and management.

This policy was developed with your needs in mind. It is essential that you fully understand our practices regarding the collection and use of your personal information, and that you retain ultimate control over the personal information you provide to us.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, process, and store the information you provide when using our Brisdom Smart services. For the purposes of this policy, “personal information” refers to any data that, either on its own or in combination with other information, can be used to identify a specific individual. We will strictly adhere to this Privacy Policy in handling such information.

Finally, we are committed to delivering the best possible user experience. If you have any questions about the personal information processing practices described in this policy, please contact us using the methods provided in Section 9 so we can address your specific concerns. We welcome your feedback.

Certainly! Below is the English translation of the “Brisdom Smart Privacy Policy”, carefully preserving the original structure—including clear distinctions between section headings, subheadings, numbered lists, and paragraph formatting—to maintain readability and legal clarity.

Personal Information Obtained from Third Parties

With your authorization, we may receive personal information from third parties to enable integrated services:

Non-Personal Information

We may also collect non-identifiable statistical data (e.g., click patterns, page views, session duration) to improve our services. Such aggregated data is considered non-personal. However, if combined with personal information, it will be treated as personal information for the duration of such linkage.

Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies

Brisdom Smart Home and third-party providers use cookies, tags, and scripts to analyze trends, manage the app, track user activity, and gather aggregate statistics. We treat information collected via these technologies as non-personal, unless local law classifies identifiers like IP addresses as personal.

  1. Log Files: We collect standard log data (IP address, browser type, ISP, referring/exit pages, OS, timestamps, clickstream data). This is not linked to other collected information.
  2. Mobile Analytics: We use analytics software to understand app performance (usage frequency, events, crashes). This data is not linked to your personal submissions.
  3. Local Storage (HTML5/Flash): We use local storage for preferences and features. Third parties may also use HTML5/Flash cookies for advertising. You can manage these via browser settings or Adobe’s Flash Manager.

How We Store and Protect Your Personal Information

Security Measures

We implement physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards required by law to protect your data from unauthorized access or disclosure. All personal information is stored on secure servers within controlled facilities. We classify data by sensitivity and apply appropriate security levels.

We conduct due diligence on third-party providers, enforce contractual confidentiality obligations, and provide regular privacy training to employees. While we take all reasonable measures, no internet transmission is 100% secure—we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a data breach, we will notify relevant authorities and affected users as required by law.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. After this period, data is deleted or anonymized. Upon account deletion, service termination, or your verified request, we will promptly delete or anonymize your data, except where retention is legally mandated (e.g., for public interest, scientific, or historical research).
