You can disable the processing of biometric data at any time by managing your settings directly from the Savant Home System. Our cameras are strictly for personal or domestic use. The Savant Home System and associated cameras allow you to determine the purposes and means of the processing activities you want to achieve in your home. In certain jurisdictions, the rights of individuals under camera surveillance are protective of such individuals being recorded. Your sharing of such videos in the public domain or surveilling public space with your camera may make additional laws applicable to your surveillance. In any case, you are responsible for compliance with any applicable law when using our Products and Services. It is your responsibility to understand the law that applies to your collection and use of facial recognition, video, audio and other data where you live. For any other components of the Savant Home System, such as door entry products that use fingerprint recognition to allow for doors to open or lock based upon reading authorized person’s fingerprints, such components may not work if you disable the biometric data functionality.


Additionally, certain laws or regulations require that you inform anyone entering your property or home about the functioning and operation of the cameras. If necessary, depending on applicable law and your processing activities, you may either need to display a notice alerting visitors to your property or home that you are using a camera to record images and people on your property, and, in some cases, you may need to obtain their prior explicit consent. We cannot be responsible and will not be responsible for your compliance with applicable laws from the use of the Savant Home System, and it is your responsibility to understand the law that applies to you and where required obtain explicit consent for the collection of biometric information including, but not limited to, fingerprint recognition, and facial recognition, of other users or visitors to your home, invited or uninvited, inside or outside your home. You are required to comply with all applicable legislation regarding the protection of personal information, image rights and privacy.

Encryption technology, including current industry-standard encryption protocols, is used to protect personal information. We also use a variety of physical and infrastructure protection measures that comply with applicable regulations to protect and store your personal information. However, despite our efforts to secure your information, we cannot be responsible for the security of the information you transmit over networks that we do not control including the Internet and wireless networks whether they are yours or others.

Savant is located in the United States, and as such, all personal information will be accessed and stored there, and will be transferred there should you live in another country. Savant may also contract with cloud service providers located in other countries, and certain personal information may be accessed and stored from additional countries. Where required, we have put in place appropriate safeguards with our affiliates, service providers, contractors, distributors and other business partners and agents to ensure that transfers of personal information outside the EEA and UK are adequately protected. Unless a jurisdiction is deemed to have adequate safeguards, the safeguards we typically put in place are the Standard Contractual Clauses in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the UK General Data Protection Regulation.

Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. To enable our systems to recognize your browser or device and to provide and improve the Services, we use cookies and other data collection tools and similar technologies, such as pixels. These data collection tools measure and track customers' visits to and browsing activities as part of the Services and to compile sales and statistical data.


For example, beacons let us know when a purchase is made on one of our websites by a member of one of our third-party affinity or affiliate programs and when a purchase is initiated by an advertisement that we placed on a third party's website. This information assists us in marketing and managing our Services and enhancing your shopping experience. For more information about cookies and how we use them, please read our Cookie Notice.

We support the development and implementation of a standard “do not track” browser feature that provides customers with control over the collection and use of information about their web-browsing activities. Once a standardized “do not track” feature is released, we intend to adhere to the browser settings accordingly.

PRIVACY POLICY FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
Last updated: December 2021


This PRIVACY POLICY FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS (“California Privacy Policy ”) supplements the information contained in the Savant’s Privacy Policy and applies solely to California residents who visit or use the Savant Home System. This California Privacy Policy describes the personal information that Savant collects about you, the rights you have with respect to that information, and how you can exercise those rights. Savant adopts the California Privacy Policy to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“ CCPA ”) and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”) and any terms defined in the CCPA and CalOPPA have the same meaning as used herein. In this California Privacy Policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Savant and “you” and “your” refer to you, an individual.


Savant values the privacy of our clients and we take measures to implement reasonable security controls for the protection of our clients’ information. California law and more specifically CCPA define ‘personal information’ very broadly as information that relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household. It could include identifiers such as IP addresses or device identifiers, in addition to names and addresses. This California Privacy Policy provides additional information regarding Savant’s practices and your rights if you are a resident of California.

Information We Collect

Please see the section above entitled Information We Collect

Use of Personal Information

Please see the section above entitled How We Use Your Information

Sharing Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to a third-party for a business purpose and for other reasons as permitted by law. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.


We disclose your personal information for a business purpose to the following categories of third parties:

  • Service providers.
  • To our affiliate partners when you access the documents, products or programs available as part of the Services.
  • To our affiliate entities and subsidiaries for the purposes described in this California Privacy Policy.
  • To a third party in the event of any contemplated or actual reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).
  • To other persons or entities where you consent to the disclosure.


We may also disclose your personal information to comply with laws, legal processes and law enforcement to the following categories of third parties:

  • To government, law enforcement officials, regulators and others as we believe is necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal processes (including subpoenas and administrative summonses), to protect the property and rights of Savant or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be illegal, unethical or legally actionable.


In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information:

  • Identifiers
  • California customer records personal information categories
  • Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law
  • Commercial information
  • Internet or other similar network activity
  • Geolocation data


In addition, we may disclose personal information for other purposes, including with companies we work with to help us market or advertise to you. And while we do not sell your personal information for money, we do disclose your personal information to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, and such disclosure could be in a manner that CCPA construes as a “sale.” The concept of a "sale" under CCPA is different from what has traditionally been considered a "sale", e.g., selling a customer list for money. Under CCPA, a "sale" potentially includes other uses or disclosures of personal information to third parties outside Savant in a commercial context where an exception to "sale," as provided by CCPA, does not exist. Because the concept of "sale" is arguably so broad under CCPA, Savant may conceivably be deemed to "sell" personal information, even if such "sales" are not the exchange of that personal information for money. Savant does not knowingly ‘sell’ any personal information of minors under the age of 18. Should you wish to opt out of Savant sharing any personal information in this capacity, please contact us at the phone number or address below or on our website.

Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about what personal information we collect, use, disclose and sell. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information we have collected about you in the last 12 months, why we have collected it, and whether we have disclosed that information for a business purpose.
  • The categories of sources from which we collect personal information.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
Deletion Rights Requests

You have the right to request that we delete your personal information we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.


We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

  1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
  6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
  7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  8. Comply with a legal obligation.
  9. I’m Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
Exercising Access, Data Portability and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

  • Emailing us at: support@savant.com

  • Write us at:

    Savant Systems, Inc.

    45 Perseverance Way

    Hyannis, MA 02601


Only you or a person that you authorize to submit a request to know your personal information or to delete your personal information on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.


If you submit a request to know or delete personal information, we will verify your identity. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to the registered email associated with the account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Right to Opt-out of the Sale of Your Personal Information

Where a business sells your personal information, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of that personal information. In the preceding twelve (12) months, Savant has not sold and does not sell your personal information for money; however, Savant has shared your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Non-Discrimination

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us because you have exercised your privacy rights. This means that you have the right not to be denied goods or services, charged different prices, or provided a different level or quality of Services, just because you have exercised your privacy rights.

Correction of Information Collected From You Online

CalOPPA provides you with the right to correct the information that we collected about you online. If you entered information online and later need to correct that information, please contact us by e-mail at support@savant.com. Please note that if we cannot associate the information to you, we may not be able to correct it.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this California Privacy Policy at our discretion and at any time. If we materially change this California Privacy Policy, we will post the updated notice on our Services and update the notice’s effective date. Your continued use of our Services following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.

Contact Information

If you have any questions or comments about this California Privacy Policy, the ways in which we collect and use your personal information, your choices and rights regarding such collection or use, or wish to exercise your rights under California law, you may contact us via email at: support@savant.com or writing to us at:
