  • 2. Types of information we collect from users of our sites and services, how we use it, and whom we share it with

    • 2.1 Our Sites

      Except for certain areas of our Sites that are limited to our retail dealers and distributors or the Service, you need not "sign-in" or register to browse our Sites. However, some information, such as your Internet protocol (IP) address, may be collected as part of your browsing activities by cookies or similar technology, as described below.

      Transactional Data: In the event that you choose to make an inquiry or engage in a transaction while accessing our Sites, we will ask that you provide certain personal information (PI) that is needed to respond to the inquiry or complete the transaction. We will use the PI only for that purpose and for the purposes described within this Privacy Policy. For example, if you ask us for additional information about a product, we will ask for your email address, phone number, name, and model number in order that we may respond to your inquiry. If you purchase one of our products, we will ask that you provide us with the information needed to process your order, charge your credit card account, send you messages regarding your order and deliver the product you have purchased. Such information may include your first and last name, credit card number, billing and shipping address, email address and telephone number. If you choose to create an account with us, we will also ask you to create a user ID and password; however, creation of an account is optional and is not required to register a product or complete a transaction.

      In fulfilling any inquiry or transaction ordered by you, we may rely on affiliates or other companies to perform functions on our behalf. These functions may include order fulfillment, package delivery, postal and email delivery, customer service, data collection, storage, data analysis, and credit processing. We may also use affiliates or other companies to perform marketing on our behalf, such as sending you information about products or services we think you may be interested in. The entities we contract for these purposes have limited access to your PI to perform these functions on our behalf and may not use it for other purposes.

      Registration Data: We also provide customers with the opportunity to register their VTech products and give us additional information about themselves, including information about recent purchases and certain demographic data. We refer to this as "Registration Data." Providing Registration Data is optional, and we do not require that you give us this information to complete a purchase, receive warranty services or browse our Sites.

      If you choose to provide Registration Data, we may use it, alone or in conjunction with other information, to identify other products or services that we think you may be interested in purchasing and to send you information about those other products or services. If you do not wish to receive these marketing messages from us, you can so indicate by filling the “opt-out” box located on the Contact Us page. If you did not opt-out, you may receive from us periodic marketing emails regarding products or services that we think may be of interest to you. You may also opt-out of receiving these marketing emails by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email received. It may take us up to 10 days to complete this process, as permitted by law. If you opt-out, you will still continue to receive non-marketing emails from VTech related to your use of the VTech sites and services.

      Cookies and Similar Technologies: Some of the pages on our Sites and Services use "cookies" to help us better service visitors to our Sites and users of our Services. Cookies are brief text files transmitted by a website to the hard drive of your computer when you click on a page. Should you return to the page at a later time, your computer will transmit the text message back to the website server to permit the server to recall previous visits to our Sites or Services or to keep track of a transaction in progress. You may set your browser to reject cookies by changing the settings on your browser. Doing this, however, could diminish your use of our Sites or Services by preventing the use of certain features including the purchasing process. Cookies are not linked to Registration Data.

      For website analytics, we use two methods of tracking user behavior. Server log files and javascript tracking tags are used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement and gather other information. These tracking methods provide us information such as internet protocol addresses, browser type used, Internet Service Provider information, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time, number of visitors, geographic location and ecommerce data. On occasion, we may share this information with our business partners and advertisers. The contents of these tracking methods may be linked to your IP address or other information collected via our Sites and Services, including Matomo javascript tracking tags.

      Do Not Track Signals: Our systems do not currently recognize or respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.

      Web Site Data Collection: To the best of our knowledge, other businesses, which do not have contractual obligation with us, may not, collect personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across different Web sites when a consumer uses our Sites and Services.

      Automated Decision-Making Tools: We use automated decision-making tools or processes in order to prevent misuse of our websites and to prevent fraud when you purchase via our website. This may lead to a refusal of the transaction. Should you not agree with this refusal, please contact our customer service department.

    • 2.2 Our Services

      Account Data: If you activate the Services, as part of your account creation for the Web Apps or Mobile Apps, we will ask you to provide certain PI, including your name, physical address, email address, and telephone number (“Account Data”). VTech does not itself collect or obtain your credit card information. To complete the payment or purchase process (for example, for cloud recording subscriptions), you will be directed to a third-party payment site, such as Braintree. For more information on Braintree’s privacy practices, please see their privacy policies, available at https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/braintree-privacy-policy. Third party payment sites, such as Braintree, have limited access to your PI to perform these functions on our behalf and may not use it for other purposes.

      Usage Data: Our Services are designed to allow you to connect certain compatible devices (for example, our monitors and sensors) to the Services. Once the Services are enabled, your use of the Services with a connected device will automatically report certain Usage Data to our servers. This information is collected automatically when you interact with our Services. Such Usage Data may include configuration, technical, and/or set-up information about the connected device; information about the user, including wireless network and/or Bluetooth information; mobile device information; temperature sensors, flood sensors, motion sensors, or other environmental data; Internet Protocol (IP) address; cookie information; and information about the device’s operating system and type of browser. The exact type of information collected from each product will vary depending on the product type.

      If video and audio recording devices are used as part of the Services, your use of the Services may also generate additional Usage Data, such as audio and/or video streaming and recording, other audio and/or video content, and images and/or snapshots. This video, audio, and image content will be transmitted to the servers of VTech or its service providers. Nevertheless, this video, audio, and image content will not be stored.

      Customization Information: Your use of the Services will also generate a third type of data (“Customization Information”) that will be used to customize your user experience, and may include information such as patterns of your use of the services.

VTech may, however, disclose your information to service providers and to third parties in the following circumstances:

      1. Entities that Provide Services to VTech

        1. In responding to your inquiries or providing you with the products or services you request, we may employ other companies to perform functions on our behalf. These functions may include order fulfillment, package delivery, marketing assistance, postal and email delivery, customer service, data analysis, data storage, billing services and credit processing. The entities we contract for these purposes have limited access to your personally identifiable information in order to perform these functions on our behalf, and may not use or disclose it for other purposes.

        2. VTech may use advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags to measure advertising effectiveness.

        3. VTech ensures that any companies to which it discloses your information have adequate policies and procedures in place to protect that information, that they will securely handle, delete or destroy the information when it is no longer needed to serve the companies’ function for us, and that they do not use or disclose the information for any other purpose.

      2. Investigations

        VTech may disclose your information to third parties in the investigation of any actual or suspected: (a) breach of this Policy or our Terms and Conditions, (b) illegal activity, (c) fraud, (d) intellectual property infringement, or (e) threats of violence or other harm.

      3. Merger and Acquisition Activity

        If we are bought or acquired by another company, in whole or in part; merged with another company; or go through reorganization or bankruptcy, your information may be disclosed to prospective investors, buyers, or other acquirers or successors of VTech in connection with the applicable transaction (and in the case of an acquisition or merger, we may transfer the information collected through the Web Services to the purchaser or merged company as part of the sale).

      4. Other Cases

        VTech may disclose your information if we in good faith believe we are required to do so: (a) to comply with applicable law or legal proceedings, including court orders, subpoenas, statutes and regulations; (b) to protect, enforce and defend VTech's rights or property; or (c) in an emergency to protect the personal safety of VTech's customers, visitors or the public.

      5. With Your Permission

        VTech may disclose your information to third parties when you have given us permission to do so.

  • 3. Protection of your information

    The security of your personal information is important to VTech, and VTech is committed to handling your information carefully. We use Transport Layer Security Technology ("TLS") to encrypt the PI and Registration Data you transmit to us through our Sites and Services. Further, to ensure that your PI and Registration Data are secure, we store it in a database with restricted access.

    VTech also protects your personal information by requiring users of our Sites and Services to verify their identities with unique login information before they can access or edit their account information or settings. If you select and establish an account with us in connection with your use of Sites or Services, you are responsible for keeping that login information confidential. Do not share your login information with anyone else.

  • 4. Third-party content and links

    Our Sites and Services may contain links to other third-party websites. If you choose to visit those other sites from the Web Services, VTech is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. Those third-party websites are beyond VTech's control and may not have privacy policies and security protections, or their privacy policies or security protections may not be as protective of your personal information as VTech's policies and protections. Those other websites may send their own cookies to visitors, collect data or solicit personal information. For example, third-party vendors, including Google, show VTech advertisements on third-party websites. Such third party vendors use cookies to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to our Sites. You may learn how to opt out of third party vendors’ use of cookies by visiting our cookie statement.

    We recommend that you review and understand the privacy policies of the websites you visit, whether you visit those websites directly or through a link from a page on the Web Services. VTech does not have access to or control over information collected by third-party websites.

    Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our Web Services and the links placed upon them and therefore we request feedback not only for our own Web Services, but also for websites we link to as well (including if a specific link does not work).

  • 5. Children

    We do not sell products for purchase by children. All of our products (including products intended to be used by children) are intended to be purchased by adults. If you are under 18 years old and you want to buy something on our website, you must have an adult buy it for you. We have not designed our website to encourage transactions with, or to obtain information from, children. VTech respects the sensitive nature of children's privacy online. Therefore, if we learn that a user is under 13 years of age, we will promptly delete any information collected from that user, and if we learn that a user under 18 years old made a purchase through our Sites without adult involvement, the order will not be processed.

    SHARING AND SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION, PROCESSING FOR TARGETED ADVERTISING, AND PROFILING

    For the purposes of this Section and Section7, “sell” means disclosure of personal information to a third-party for monetary or other valuable consideration. “Share” means disclosure of personal information to a third-party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration. “Cross-context behavioral advertising” means the targeting of advertising to a person based on the person’s personal information obtained from the person’s activity across businesses, distinctly-branded websites, applications, or services, other than VTech’s. “Targeted advertising” means displaying advertisements to a person where the advertisement is selected based on personal information obtained from that person’s activities over time and across nonaffiliated websites or online applications to predict such consumer's preferences or interests, but does not include advertisements based on activities within VTech’s own websites or online applications or in response to a person’s request for information or feedback, or processing personal information solely for measuring or reporting advertising performance, reach, or frequency. “Profiling” means any form of automated processing performed on personal information to evaluate, analyze, or predict personal aspects related to an identified or identifiable natural person's economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements. "Decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer" means decisions that result in the provision or denial of financial or lending services, housing, insurance, education enrollment or opportunity, criminal justice, employment opportunities, health care services or access to essential goods or services or basic necessities, such as food and water.

    VTech does not engage in profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer.

    In the preceding 12 months, we have not knowingly disclosed personal information to third parties in exchange for money. However, we have disclosed personal information to third parties for the purpose of web analytics, and this disclosure may constitute a “sale” under the broad meaning of some state laws and the definition above. In addition, we have “shared” and processed personal information for “targeted advertising” within the meaning of those terms provided above. However, we have not knowingly sold, shared, or processed for targeted advertising the personal information of minors under 16 years of age. Accordingly, we permit residents of the U.S. to “opt-out” of the “sale,” “sharing,” and processing of personal information for “targeted advertising,” as set forth in Section 7 below.

    DISCLOSURES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR A BUSINESS PURPOSE

    In the preceding 12 months, we disclosed for the business purposes described above (to the extent only as necessary) the following categories of personal information to the following categories of third parties.

    • Identifiers such as a real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, internet protocol address, email address, account name, social security number, driver’s license number, passport number, or other similar identifiers.

    NON-DISCRIMINATION

    We will not discriminate against a person because the person exercised a personal information request (as described below), including, but not limited to, by:

    • Denying goods or services to the person;
    • Charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties;
    • Providing a different level or quality of goods or services to the person;
    • Suggesting that the person will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services; and/or
    • Retaliating against an employee, applicant for employment, or independent contractor for exercising any personal information requests.

    However, we may offer a person a different price or rate or provide a different level or quality or selection of goods or services if the offer is related to the person’s voluntary participation in a bona fide loyalty, rewards, premium features, discounts, or club card program and the difference is reasonably related to the value provided to us by that person’s personal information. In addition, we may offer financial incentives, including payments as compensation, for the collection of personal information, the sale or sharing of Personal information, or the retention of personal information. We will provide notice of the material terms of a financial incentive program before a person enrolls, and will enter a person into such a program only if the person gives us prior opt-in consent, which may be revoked by the person at any time. We will not use financial incentive practices that are unjust, unreasonable, coercive, or usurious in nature. We currently do not offer any financial incentive programs.

    If your appeal is denied, we will provide you with an online mechanism, if available, or other method through which you may contact the Attorney General of your state (or the Minister of Justice for Canadian provinces) to submit a complaint or express your concerns.

    AUTHORIZED AGENT

    You may use an authorized agent to submit personal information requests, including through the use of a technology including, but not limited to, an Internet link or a browser setting, browser extension or global device setting, indicating your intent to opt out of certain processing of personal information. An authorized agent may submit a request to know, to delete, to correct, or to opt-out, or may submit an appeal, by calling our toll-free number at 1 866 277 9032 or submitting a request at “Contact Us” or “Personal Information Request Form”.

    To use an authorized agent, you must provide the agent with signed permission, and the authorized agent must include proof of signed permission from the person on whose behalf the agent is submitting the request. In addition, you may be required to verify your own identity directly with us. We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf. Such requirements, however, will not apply where you have provided the agent with power of attorney pursuant to applicable state law (though the agent will be required to submit proof of such power of attorney) or requests made by an opt-out preference signal.
