What information do we collect?

When you register to use the Service via the Site you'll be asked to provide certain information about you, such as your email.

If you sign up via a third-party site like Google, your agreement (and our access to your information) takes place when you instruct, accept, or allow these sites to register you for the Site or otherwise connect you to the Site. We will collect such information as you allow based on your settings and the policies of these sites. We may also collect information to verify your credentials for these sites.

Our third-party billing service provider will also collect information such as your full name, credit card number, and billing address.

We and our third-party service providers may collect certain information about your use of our Site. For example, we may collect and/or use:

  • Log information (including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring and exit pages, operating system, dates/time of access, and related data)
  • Information collected by cookies and tracking pixels (as discussed below)
  • Web beacons (also called "Internet tags" or "clear gifs"; used to count visitors to our Site and which pages were viewed and links clicked)
  • Embedded scripts (code temporarily downloaded onto your device to collect information about your interactions with the Service and thereafter deleted or deactivated)

When using the Site, you'll be asked to provide information about the cameras you use with the Service. When you configure Frigate to integrate with the Service and upload content to the Site, we will receive and store video and images depending on how you configure the settings. This may include capturing and making available to you portions of the uploaded video and images as a part of a notification or analysis of the content to identify and/or confirm detected objects.

You (not the Company) are solely responsible for ensuring that you comply with any applicable laws when you use such camera-enabled products. For example, you may be required to display a notice (even inside your home) that alerts visitors to your home that you are using a security camera or other camera-enabled products that are recording audio and video. Please also consider that recording and sharing of video or images that involves other people may affect their privacy rights.
