This Privacy Policy explains how Nirovision Holdings Pty. Ltd. (“Nirovision”, or “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses and shares your personal information if you visit our websites or register to use our services, and explains your choices for how we handle your personal information. For convenience, our online and/or mobile services, websites, SDKs, APIs, identity management portal, documentation, models, features, functions, software, technical support, updates, upgrades and anything else we make available for use are collectively referred to as “Services.”

We adhere to the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and to the extent applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

If you do not agree with this policy, do not access or use our Services or interact with any other aspect of our business. Where we provide the Services under contract with an organisation (for example, your employer) that organisation controls the information processed by the Services. For more information, please see Organization-Administered Accounts section below.

Nirovision respects your privacy rights and is committed to transparency in how we collect, use and share your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns about your personal information or this Privacy Policy, email us at privacy@nirovision.com.

1. Information we collect and hold

We collect personal information about you in the following ways:

1.1. Information you provide to us

Personal information that you may provide through the Services or otherwise communicate to us includes:

  • Identity information, such as your first name and last name.
  • Contact information, such as your postal address, email address and telephone number;
  • Profile information, such as your username and password, and user preferences;
  • Feedback and correspondence, such as information you provide when you respond to surveys, report a problem with the Services, receive customer support or otherwise correspond with us;
  • Payment information, such as your credit card or other payment card and billing details as described in the Payment Information section below;
  • Usage information, such as information about how you use the Services and interact with us;
  • Video and data: When you enable the recording or streaming features of a camera by adding it to our Services, we may record and process video recordings from the device, subject to your instruction, configuration and settings. This may include capturing and emailing to you portions of this data as part of a notification or analysing the data to identify motion or other events. If you instruct us by setting up your camera and choosing to receive mobile notifications, we may process information from your camera to send you alerts when something happens. In addition, if you have the recording features enabled, we will capture, process and retain vide recordings from your device for the duration of your recording subscription period and you will be able to access those recordings using the Services during that time.
  • Biometric Information: When you or your employer uses our Services you may be requested to provide biometric information that is to be used for the purpose of automated biometric verification or biometric identification, this may include images of your face or other biometrically relevant images of you.
  • Marketing information, such your preferences for receiving marketing communications and details about how you engage with them.

1.2. Information collected automatically when you use the Services

Our servers may automatically record certain information about how you use the Services, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, device and browser type, operating system, the pages or features of the Services that you browsed and the time spent on those pages or features, the frequency with which you use the Services, search terms, the links that you click on or use, and other statistics. We collect this information in server logs and by using cookies and similar tracking technologies to analyse trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and deliver advertising.

For more information, please see our Cookies Policy, which includes information on how to control or opt out of these cookies and tracking technologies. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or mobile device to prevent or limit your acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our Services’ features.

When you, or an organisation for whom you work or whose premises you attend, uses our Services, camera(s) may capture footage of you for the purpose of automated biometric verification or biometric identification. In order to perform automated biometric verification, the system generates an “embedding” to represent a face. Embeddings are multidimensional numbers used to represent something. They are not human readable. These embeddings are unique to our system and are not useable in any other system. It is also impossible to “reconstruct” a face purely from an embedding.

1.3. Information we receive from other sources

Other users of our Services may provide information about you when they submit content through the Services. We receive your email address from other Services users when they provide it in order to invite you to the Services.

1.4. Changes to your personal information

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please let us know if your personal information changes during your relationship with us by emailing us at privacy@nirovision.com

1.5. How we generally hold personal information

Data captured by camera(s) or by other means at a customer site is stored on an on-premise server, with video footage having a rolling-delete functionality. Biometric information is also stored in the server as embeddings and metadata.

Generally, but subject to any terms of this Privacy Policy to the contrary, all client data, including embeddings, thumbnails, results and metadata are stored and encrypted in disparate cloud systems for 60 (sixty) days, built on the Sydney Node of the AWS (Amazon Web Services) platform. Nirovision stores data solely in Australia.

1.6. Data Retention & Deletion

User and usage information stored in the Nirovision platform is actively destroyed after its useful purpose has passed. Specifically:

  1. Biometric and photographic data of each activity is automatically destroyed within 60 days.
  2. Stored identities (including photographs and biometrics) are destroyed within 60 days after you choose to delete them.
  3. If the subscriber ends their agreement with Nirovision, Nirovision will destroy all customer data including (including photographs and biometrics) within 60 days.

The retention time can be increased or decreased, if required and by arrangement.
