Cookies do many different jobs, such as allowing the Sites to remember your preference settings and helping us to enhance the usability and performance of the Sites and your experience using them.
The Sites also may contain electronic images known as web beacons – sometimes called single-pixel gifs – that allow us to count the number of users who have visited specific pages. We may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Categories of cookies and similar technologies that we use
The type of cookie or similar technology that may be used in the Sites can be put into 1 of 4 categories: Strictly Necessary, Performance, Functionality & Profile and Advertising.

RESIDEO U.S. STATE-SPECIFIC PARTNER-BRANDED APP PRIVACY STATEMENT
Last updated: June 10, 2024
A number of U.S. states have passed specific laws relating to data privacy, including California (the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended with effect from January 01, 2023 by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)), Virginia (Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act with effect from January 1, 2023), Colorado (Colorado Privacy Act with effect from July 01, 2023), Connecticut (Connecticut Data Privacy Act with effect from July 01, 2023) and Utah (Utah Consumer Privacy Act with effect from December 31, 2023).
These laws (and regulations relating to them) contain additional information that you may find helpful. For example, where these laws define particular terms (such as what constitutes personal information), those definitions apply here, too. Note also that many of these laws are still being refined and further regulations are expected in the future so we will update this U.S. State-specific partner-branded app privacy statement from time to time and encourage you to review it regularly.
This U.S. State-specific partner-branded app privacy statement only applies where any of the laws mentioned above apply and, in that case, takes precedence over our general U.S. partner-branded app privacy statement available on the Sites.
The Highlights
The sections below provide you with transparency over how we use your personal information, including the purposes for which we process it. To make this more understandable, we have provided non-exhaustive examples and use cases. We also describe what personal information we collect, from where we obtain it, how we use it, with whom we share it and how we determine for how long to store it. We also summarize the rights you have regarding your personal information where the laws mentioned above apply and how to exercise them.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information when we provide the Sites to you, otherwise interact with you, or use information about you. The term “personal information” (also called "personal data") means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household. It includes, for example, your name and other information relating to your use of the Sites.
We are required to inform you about the categories of personal information that we have collected from consumers within the last twelve (12) months by reference to a specific list.
Data collected by us or the Sites, with examples:
- (A) Identifiers – this includes personal information such as your real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, internet protocol address, email address, account name, or other similar identifiers. Use Case: When you use the Sites, buy a service from us, we collect your name and your address.
- (B) Categories of personal information described in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)) – this includes your name, signature physical characteristics or description, address, telephone number education, employment, employment history, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information.
Use Case: This category partially overlaps with Category A, above. When you pay for a subscription, we collect financial information. Similarly, you may provide us with information regarding your work or employer as part of customer support services. - (C) Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law – this includes your race, color, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, gender expression, age. Use Case: When you enquire about our services and provide your title, we will address you accordingly (for example as Mr. or Mrs. or as you instruct us). Similarly, where you provide us with photos that depict you (for example as part of a customer support interaction), those photos may indicate some of the characteristics mentioned above.
- (D) Commercial information – this includes records of personal property, products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies. Use Case: When you have upgraded a subscription with us, we collect records about your purchasing history.
- (E) Internet or other electronic network activity information – this includes browsing history, search history, and information regarding a consumer’s interaction with an internet website, application, or advertisement. Use Case: When you interact with the Sites, we collect information about your activity
- (F) Geolocation data – this includes your general physical location or movements. Use Case: When you use local weather features in our apps, you can provide your location for more accurate weather information.
- (G) Sensory data – this includes audio, electronic, visual, thermal, or similar information. Use Case: Some features of the Sites can record camera feeds or monitor other sensors. When you record a camera feed or otherwise use these types of sensors, we collect sensory data.
- (H) Sensitive Personal Information – this includes any information that identifies account log‐in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; precise geolocation; and racial or ethnic origin. Use Case: This partially overlaps with (A), (C) and (F) above. In the case of precise geolocation, precise geolocation is used in some of our apps with your specific consent to enable the geofencing feature. This feature allows your alarm system to automatically change the armed state depending on whether you are in your house or not.
- (I) Inferences drawn from personal information listed in Categories (A) – (H) – this includes inferences drawn from any of the personal information collected to create a profile about you, reflecting your preferences, characteristics, behavior, or interests.

Use Case: We do not collect biometric information.

With our partners. Many of our products and services are aimed at professionals who, for example, install them in their customers’ homes, including as part of setting up or enabling access to the Sites. Where our partners provide our products and services to their customers and as they support their customers, we provide personal information to these partners in accordance with the terms of the underlying contract and/or with the customer’s explicit consent. This includes providing the lead account manager of a professional services account with access to the personal information of the users that are linked to that professional services account.

Your Rights
If you are a consumer and resident in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or Utah, you have (or will have, once the relevant laws enter into force) specific rights regarding your personal information. We have summarized these rights below.
Note that many of these rights are not absolute – that means that in some cases we may only partially fulfil your request or not at all. Also note that these rights only apply to personal information that is subject to the laws set out in the beginning of this U.S. State-specific Partner-Branded App Privacy Statement – that means that your rights as described below will not apply to the extent we have anonymized, aggregated or deidentified your personal information (so that it can no longer be reasonably linked to you) or where your personal data is otherwise not regulated by these laws (for example, health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) or personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including, but not limited to, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994, and particular sections of the Vehicle Code).
Your right to request specific personal information

We will provide this information to you when we receive a request that can be verified as having come from you. We normally provide this information within 45 days in electronic and portable form. In some cases, we may need to extend this period for a further 45 days, you will be notified prior to the extension.
Note that there are several exceptions to this right as described in the relevant law– this means that we will not provide specific personal information where doing so would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other consumers, for example.
Your right to request deletion
You have the right to request that we delete your personal information. We will delete the personal information to which your request applies as soon as reasonably possible when we receive a request that can be verified as having come from you.

Your request must (1) provide sufficient information so that we can reasonably verify who you are; and (2) describe your request in sufficient detail so that we can reasonably determine whether your request is valid and what scope it has.
Once we have received your request, we will review it to ensure it is valid.
