Guidance for Authorized Agents
The CCPA and the CPRA recognizes a variety of privacy rights for Californian consumers. According to the CCPA, we as a business is required to provide channels for the consumers to exercise their rights, including the rights, via a verifiable request, to
(i) know and access the Personal Information that we collect, use, disclose; and
(ii) delete the consumer’s Personal Information.
Per the CCPA, consumers may exercise their rights through an authorized agent. Therefore, we provide this guidance for authorized agents acting on behalf of consumers regarding exercise of the above rights under the CCPA.
If the consumer has a Tuya account
Authorized agents acting on behalf of consumers with a Tuya account can exercise their rights through Tuya account. Please kindly note the following rights will be handled respectively:
- Right to know: You can check the categories of personal information being collected, processed, or used are outlined in this Notice.
2. Right to access and delete: Authorized agents acting on behalf of a consumer with a Tuya account can exercise these rights through the consumer's account.
It is important to note that a valid login is required to access or delete personal information associated with a Tuya account. This safeguard is in place to protect the security of consumer data. Once the request is submitted by the authorized agent, the request will be handled automatically.
If the consumer does not have a Tuya account
If the consumer does not have a Tuya account, Tuya only collects online identifiers (such as IP address), device information (such as operating system type and device model), network configuration details, and location information (only if you have granted explicit authorization). Such consumers may exercise their data subject rights as below:
Right to know: You can check the categories of personal information being collected, processed, shared or used are outlined in our Privacy Policy.
Right to access and delete: If the consumer uses the App in "Try as Guest" mode, the temporary operational data collected (such as IP addresses and device information) is not linked to any verifiable identity (such as a registered email or phone number). Because we cannot legally or reasonably verify the identity of the underlying consumer in this anonymous state, we are unable to process access or deletion requests submitted by authorized agents on behalf of non-registered guest users. Consumers using the App in guest mode can independently exercise their right to delete by simply exiting the "Try as Guest" mode, deleting data under "Me - Family Management", or deleting device information under "Home - Devices".
