When You rent or purchase a Device, We will use your Personal Information in order to process the transaction. Once your Device is shipped, We will associate your Device with a unique identifier, which is then used to identify your Device, and is thereafter associated with the Device Specific Information that We automatically collect, as further described below. “Device Specific Information” means, as further described below, the Device Data, Performance Data, Activity Data, and Audio Data that is related to a Device, which We automatically collect in order to provide the requested functionality and fulfill the agreement We have with You. “Device Data” means information related to device type, device identifiers, operating system, software version, content source (audio line in), information about WiFi antennas, audio settings (such as equalization or stereo pair), the names You have given your Device in different rooms, and error information. “Performance Data” means and includes information related to the temperature of your device, WiFi information like signal strength, information about how often You use the Set-Up App versus other control mechanisms, flow of interactions within the Device and Set-Up App, and duration of Device use. “Activity Data” means and includes duration of music service use, application or room grouping information, command information (such as play, pause, change volume, or skip tracks), and information about track. each correlated to the individual Device. “Audio Data” which means and includes any sounds, noises, voices, speech or other audio at each frequency.

DISCLOSURE: Altice does not and will not sell, license, or rent your Personal Information collected as a result of Your purchase, rental or use of the Device without Your consent. We only disclose your Personal Information as described in these Terms. We may share your Device Specific Information with the following types of parties: 1) third party application providers which You specifically authorize or are otherwise necessary to provide the requested functionality. 2) our employees, agents, and affiliates within our family of affiliated businesses though we seek to limit access to individuals on a need to know basis. and 3) a successor company in connection with the merger, acquisition or sale or all, or components of, our business.

We may also disclose Information when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of such information is necessary to enforce our rights under our terms of service and policies, address suspected illegal activity, secure our services or network, protect our rights or property, or in emergency situations to prevent imminent physical harm. Collection, Use and Disclosure of Audio Data: Your Device is not continuously capturing sound in your home. Your Device only captures sound and other audio recordings when You enable voice control technology on your Device. Voice control works by your Device “listening” for a key wake-up word. This “listening” means that your Device buffers and re-records locally, without transmitting or storing any information, until it detects the word or phrase (such as “Alexa”) that triggers the Device to begin actively recording. If your Device does not detect the wake-up word, it continues to record over itself in a never-ending loop lasting a few seconds. This is all done locally on your Device and is not sent to Altice or any third party. If a wake-up word is detected, your Device begins recording. It does not record or retain any audio data, or begin to transmit any data until it is “woken up.” You are notified that it is recording by a visual element, such as a light on the Device, and a specific sound. Your Device will record until your voice command is finished. The actual recording of your voice command is then sent to the voice partner You have authorized to receive such recording (for example, Amazon). Altice does not retain a copy of your voice recording. SECURITY: We employ physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect Information. Despite these measures, We do not guarantee the security of information stored in our database or that unauthorized parties will not intercept information you send or receive over the Internet. As a shared resource, the Internet subjects our services and you to the risk of unauthorized access to files and data, even when security measures are implemented. We will retain Information for as long as your account is active or as otherwise necessary to fulfill our agreement with you, help us improve our products and services, comply with our legal obligations and/or resolve disputes.
