Initiatives on the Use of Video Products
Thank you for choosing EZVIZ products.
Technology affects every aspect of our life. As a high-tech company,
we are increasingly aware of the role technology plays in improving
business efficiency and quality of life, but at the same time, the
potential harm of its improper usage. For example, video products are
capable of recording real, complete and clear images. This provides a
high value in retrospect and preserving real-time facts. However, it may
also result in the infringement of a third party’s legitimate rights and
interests if improper distribution, use and/or processing of video data
takes place. With the philosophy of “Technology for the Good”, EZVIZ
requests that every end user of video technology and video products
shall comply with all the applicable laws and regulations, as well as
ethical customs, aiming to jointly create a better community.
Please read the following initiatives carefully:
1. Everyone has a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the
installation of video products should not be in conflict with this
reasonable expectation. Therefore, a warning notice shall be given in
a reasonable and effective manner and clarify the monitoring range,
when installing video products in public areas. For non-public areas,
a third party’s rights and interests shall be evaluated when installing
video products, including but not limited to, installing video products
only after obtaining the consent of the stakeholders, and not installing
highly-invisible video products.
2. The purpose of video products is to record real activities within
a specific time and space and under specific conditions. Therefore,
every user shall first reasonably define his/her own rights in such
specific scope, in order to avoid infringing on a third party’s portraits,
privacy or other legitimate rights.
3. During the use of video products, video image data derived from
real scenes will continue to be generated, including a large amount
of biological data (such as facial images), and the data could be
further applied or reprocessed. Video products themselves could
not distinguish good from bad regarding how to use the data based
solely on the images captured by the video products. The result of
data usage depends on the method and purpose of use of the data
controllers. Therefore, data controllers shall not only comply with all
the applicable laws and regulations and other normative requirements,
but also respect international norms, social morality, good morals,
common practices and other non-mandatory requirements, and
respect individual privacy, portrait and other rights and interests.
