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.
4. The rights, values and other demands of various stakeholders should always
be considered when processing video data that is continuously generated by video
products. In this regard, product security and data security are extremely crucial.
Therefore, every end user and data controller, shall undertake all reasonable and
necessary measures to ensure data security and avoid data leakage, improper
disclosure and improper use, including but not limited to, setting up access control,
selecting a suitable network environment (the Internet or Intranet) where video
products are connected, establishing and constantly optimizing network security.
5. Video products have made great contributions to the improvement of social
security around the world, and we believe that these products will also play an
active role in more aspects of social life. Any abuse of video products in violation
of human rights or leading to criminal activities are contrary to the original intent
of technological innovation and product development. Therefore, each user shall
establish an evaluation and tracking mechanism of their product application to
ensure that every product is used in a proper and reasonable manner and with
good faith.
