You can disable the processing of biometric data at any time by managing your settings directly from the Savant System. Our cameras are strictly for personal or domestic use.

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.

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.

U.S. States Privacy Rights
Last updated: May 2024

If you are a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, or any other state that has enacted applicable data protection regulations (the “Supplemental States”), the following provisions may apply to our processing of personal information as described in our Privacy Policy. For such residents, the provisions of this U.S. States Privacy Rights section prevail over any conflicting provisions of our Privacy Policy. Savant values the privacy of our clients, users and Site visitors and we take measures to implement reasonable security controls for the protection of our clients’ information. This section does not apply to our collection, use, and sharing of personal information of our job applicants and employees. We provide a different privacy notice to such individuals, and that notice applies to such individuals.

Your Rights. If you are a resident of a Supplemental State, you may have certain rights related to your personal information. The rights listed below are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests, wholly or in part, where exceptions under applicable law apply. Your rights may include:

  • The right to request access to personal information that we have collected or retained about you. If requested, we shall provide you with a copy of your personal information which we collected as permitted by the Supplemental States privacy laws. You also have the right to receive your personal information in a structured and commonly used format so that it can be transferred to another entity (“data portability”).

  • The right to request to know:

    • specific types or categories of personal information we have collected about you;
    • categories of sources from which the personal information is collected;
    • our business or commercial purpose for collecting, sharing, or selling personal information; and
    • categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.
  • The right to request that we delete personal information about you which we have collected from you.

    • In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (instructions and description below), we will delete, and, as applicable, direct our service providers to delete, your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
    • We may deny your request to delete your personal information if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers, subject to certain exemptions based on your state of residence.
  • The right to opt-out/do not sell or share your personal information.

    • You have the right to opt-out of selling or sharing your personal information with third parties for some purposes, including sharing that may be defined as a sale under applicable Supplemental States laws. Savant does not sell your personal information in a traditional sense, that is, for monetary value. Savant does disclose personal information for business purposes as outlined in our “How we Share Your Information” section of our Privacy Policy.
    • You can opt-out of this selling or sharing by clicking on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Information” link at the bottom of our homepage and submitting a request via the authorized methods.
    • You also may have a right to opt-out of the use of automated decision-making technology.
  • The right to request that we do not share or disclose your sensitive personal information.

Exercising your rights: To submit requests to exercise any of the foregoing rights with respect to your personal information, please contact us at the contact information provided below. To exercise your right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information, you can update your cookie preferences to disable any applicable advertising cookies or contact us using the Contact Information found below. We respond to the Global Privacy Control signal for California residents. Subject to applicable Supplemental States laws, we may not discriminate against you because of your exercise of any of the above rights under the Supplemental States laws, including by:

  • Denying you Products or Services; - Charging different prices or rates for Products or Services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; - Providing you a different level or quality of Products or Services; or - Suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for Products or Services or a different level or quality of Products or Services.

Verification of identity; authorized agents: In order to process any of the foregoing rights with respect to your personal information, we reserve the right to confirm your residency in the applicable Supplemental States, and we will need to verify your identity. To do so, we may require government identification, a declaration under penalty of perjury, or other information, where permitted by law. In some instances, your authorized agent may make a request on your behalf. We will need to verify your agent’s identity and be in receipt of a valid power of attorney as required under applicable Supplemental States law(s).

Personal Information that we collect, use, and disclose. We summarize the personal information we collect by reference below to both categories defined in the “Information We Collect” section of the Privacy Policy. In accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively the “CCPA”), we have collected the following categories of personal information from consumers, clients and Site visitors within the last twelve (12) months.

SUPPLEMENTAL EUROPEAN PRIVACY STATEMENT

Last updated: May 2024 The information provided in this Supplemental European Privacy Statement (“Supplemental Statement”) only applied to individuals in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), United Kingdom, and Switzerland (collectively “Europe”). If you are based in Europe, this Supplemental Statement applies to you in addition to the Privacy Policy above.

References to “personal information” in Savant’s Privacy Policy should be understood to include references to “personal data” as defined by the “GDPR” (i.e., the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“EU GDPR”) and the EU GDPR as it forms part of UK law (“UK GDPR”)). Under the GDPR, personal data is information about an individual, from which that individual is either directly identified or can be identified. It does not include ‘anonymous data’ (i.e., information where the identity of the relevant individual has been permanently removed and that individual is no longer identified or identifiable).

Controller. Savant Systems, Inc. is the controller with respect to the personal data covered by this Privacy Policy for the purposes of GDPR.

Cookies. With respect to web cookies and similar technologies that are not strictly necessary for our provision of the App, WebApp and Site, we seek consent from users in Europe based on a separate Cookie Policy.

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 Europe are adequately protected. Unless a jurisdiction is deemed to have adequate safeguards, the safeguards we typically put in place are the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement in accordance with the GDPR.
