Reolink Technology Co. Ltd. (“we” or “Reolink”) values and protects user privacy. We are highly aware of the importance of your Personal Data and are committed to protecting such information in a secure and controlled manner by strictly complying with legal and regulatory requirements and referring to proven industry security standards. For this purpose, we have developed the Reolink Privacy Policy (“Policy”) to help you understand in detail how we collect, use, process, share, store, and protect your Personal Data during your use of our products and/or services and the rights you have in such process.
This particular Policy sets forth how we process EU Personal Data in our role as a data controller (i.e., when we are responsible for determining the purpose and means of the processing) or a processor (i.e. when we process your Personal Data only under the authorization of the controller).
Before you start using our products and/or services, it is important that you read this Policy carefully (especially the highlighted terms), and fully understand and agree to the content herein. You have the right to refuse this Policy, but if you do so, we will not be able to provide you with our products and/or services as it serves as an important part of the Reolink User Service Agreement. When you choose to (re)use our products and/or services, you will be deemed to have accepted and acknowledged this Policy as it is an essential prerequisite for rendering our products and/or services.
Your agreement to the Policy indicates that you understand that we will collect certain Personal Data from you in specific service scenarios, but it does not mean that we will collect and process all of the Personal Data covered herein once you agree to this Policy and use our products and/or services. When it comes to additional business functions that require processing your non-essential Personal Data, we will ask for your consent separately. Some of the concepts might seem a little technical, and we've tried our best to explain them in a simple and clear way. Please read and understand this Policy before use. If you have any questions, please contact us.
