Introduction

This document describes the methods for processing personal data relating to the OTOMO® system.

The information is provided pursuant to art. 13 of Legislative Decree no. 196/2003 (“Privacy Code”) and Article 13 of EU Regulation 679/2016 (“General Data Protection Regulation”) to all those who interact with the OTOMO® product.

All data are processed by adopting the necessary technical and physical protection measures required by law.

This privacy statement refers to the user data collected directly from Eelectron and therefore refers to the relationship that exists exclusively between Eelectron as owner and the interested party.

Every user of OTOMO®, taking note of this information, agrees to use the product in full compliance with the rules on privacy and, where OTOMO® is installed in a business context,  labor law.

This information does not refer to the processing of data carried out by the owner of the sensor network connected to the OTOMO® application (the “Network Manager”) in the case where the same uses the collected data, also thanks to particular modifications of the product or through the crossing of several databases, for workers remote control use or for other purposes not included in this statement. The Network Operator is in such cases to be considered as an independent data controller.

  1. Type of processed datas

2.1 Installation datas

Upon installation of the product and registration on the connected mobile application, OTOMO® will request all necessary informations for user authentication, customisation and improvement of the offered service. In particular, OTOMO® will request the inclusion of (i) personal data (name, surname), and (ii) e-mail.

 2.2 Datas of the devices associated to the product

This category includes the hardware model, the IMEI number and other unique device identification codes, the MAC address, the IP address, the version of the operating system used and the used device settings to utilise the service.

2.3 Environmental datas

OTOMO® allows you to connect sensors that can detect the temperature and the brightness of the environments accessed by users, allowing them to modify manually or automatically the parameters according to personal needs and energy saving purposes.

2.4 Geolocation datas

OTOMO® uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to detect the access of people with mobile devices in a given environment. In this way OTOMO® can automatically change the environmental parameters to optimise the management of light, climate and improve the wake-sleep rhythm. OTOMO® will be able to use the data relating to the permanence of users inside the monitored areas also to automatically activate motorised devices as per settings (eg shutters, gates, doors) to optimise energy savings, as well as to alert the presence of users in a given area.

2.5 Datas on how to use the device

OTOMO® collects data on the use of the device, including direct adjustments to environmental parameters, the switching on and off of the device, the number of associated automated devices and remote control of the same.

The data may also be disclosed in the context of business operations concerning the owner, such as mergers or sales of business units. The data may always be disclosed to third parties in aggregate and / or anonymised form.

With the express consent, you can request access to networks organised and managed by different Managers, authorising the sharing with them of your personal data.

The updated list of managers and employees can always be requested to the data controller. The communication of data, where required by law, is kept as Eelectron’s right.

In order to generate statistical reports related to the use of the areas involved and to energy efficiency, the Data Controller will communicate data in an anonymised and / or aggregated form to third-party services that will reprocess them for statistical purposes.
