2. Name and Address of the Data Protection Officer

The person in charge of data protection is: Mr. Ali Reza Humanfar, owner with the same data as in I.

3. General Information on Data Processing

1. The Extent of Personal Data Processing

As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to use the Livy App (hereinafter referred to as the App) and the Livy Protect Smart Ring and Livy Protect Smoke Detector devices connected to it. The collection and use of personal data of our users regularly only takes place with the consent of the user. An exception is made in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal Bases for the Processing of Personal Data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations which are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.


3. Data Erasure and Storage Duration

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the purpose of concluding or fulfilling a contract.

4. Setup of the App

1. Description, Extent and Purpose of Data Processing

To set up the app according to the instructions in the Smart Ring + Smoke Detector User Guide, the Bluetooth interface of the user's smart phone or tablet is used to transmit the data in the settings to the Livy Protect Smart Ring.
This data includes:

- WLAN identification together with password
- The approximate ceiling height of the room in which the Livy Protect Smart Ring will be installed and
- An indication (yes/no) of whether a free-roaming pet is present

WLAN identification and password are only collected, stored and used to connect the Livy Protect Smart Ring to the Internet. The other data serve to avoid false alarms due to movement data. After opening the app, the user must register with his mobile phone number. He will then receive a 6-digit verification code via SMS, with which he must confirm his mobile phone number. The mobile phone number is used exclusively for this purpose and to notify the user by SMS in all three operating modes in the event of an alarm.

If some functions of the App are offered exclusively against payment, it is necessary that you provide us with further payment details (especially the credit card number) in order to use these functions. The payment processing is handled on our behalf by Adyen BV in the Netherlands. For this purpose Adyen will receive your payment details and your name. We have concluded an order processing agreement with Adyen in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO and Adyen is obliged to process your data exclusively to the extent necessary to enable payment processing for the functions for which payment is required or to fulfil its legal obligations.


2. Operating Mode

The app can then be used in three operating modes. Depending on the selected operating mode, the following data is collected:

a) Operating Mode HOME

In HOME mode, the microphone in the Livy Protect Smart Ring is used to detect the warning signal of the Livy Protect Smoke Detector. The microphone is only used to detect the warning signal and to transmit this information to you via the app. No acoustic recordings are made or stored.
In the HOME operating mode, temperature and humidity are also recorded and stored with date and time. Using this data, the user receives a history in the app. An individual evaluation of the data helps in the context of the "mold prevention" function.

Finally, the Air Quality Sensor measures CO (carbon monoxide) and the concentration of VOCs (volatile organic compound, volatile organic compounds, carbonaceous gases). The measurement of CO with date and time is used to activate the alarm on site in case of danger and to inform the user via the app. The collection and processing of VOCs data with indication of date and time helps in the context of the "Ventilate room" function.
The temperature, humidity and air quality data are stored on our servers for a period of 24 hours and are used exclusively for the purpose of providing you with the "Air Monitor History" function in the App, if activated separately, which allows you to track and compare the air values of your apartment during this period. Under no circumstances will we share this data with third parties, unless we are legally obliged to do so or have received your express consent to do so.

This data is necessary to provide you with the contractually offered functions of the app and the processing is therefore justified under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Further data is not collected and/or processed in the HOME mode.

b) Operating Mode GUARD, GUARD_SILENT

In GUARD mode, data is collected and processed in the same way as in HOME mode.
In addition, a motion sensor mounted in the Livy Protect Smart Ring collects motion data and stores it with date and time. This data is used to activate the alarm signal on site and for your information about the app. These purposes also include the legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DSGVO. In the GUARD_SILENT operating mode, the alarm is not triggered locally.

c) Operating Mode ALARM

In the ALARM mode, motion data (see GUARD mode) as well as temperature and humidity data and values from the Air Quality Sensor (see HOME mode) are collected, stored and processed.

3. Legal Basis for the Data Processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4. Duration of Storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

5. Possibility of Objection and Removal

The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. In such a case, the use of the Livy App (hereafter: App) and the Livy Protect Smart Ring and Livy Protect Smoke Detector devices connected to it cannot be continued.
The revocation can be made by e-mail to the data protection officer Mr. Ali Reza Humanfar at revocation@livy-home.com or by letter to the address given above under section I.

5. E-Mail Contact

1. Description and Extent of Data Processing

It is possible to contact us via the provided e-mail address. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.
In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.

2. Legal Basis for the Data Processing

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

3. Purpose of the Data Processing

The processing of personal data serves us solely to process the contact. This also includes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.

4. Duration of Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. For personal data sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be concluded from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified.
The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

5. Possibility of Objection and Removal

The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case the conversation cannot be continued.
The revocation can be made by e-mail to the data protection officer Mr. Ali Reza Humanfar at revocation@livy-home.com or by letter to the address given above under section I.

All personal data stored in the course of the contact will be deleted in this case.

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:

(1) if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time that allows the person responsible to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

(2) the processing is unlawful and you object to the deletion of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;

(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need it in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or

(4) if you have lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, such data, apart from being stored, may be processed only with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction on processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right of Deletion
a) Obligation to Delete
You may request the controller to delete the personal data concerning you without delay and the controller is obliged to delete such data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

c) Exceptions

The right to deletion does not exist if the processing is necessary

(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

(2) in order to comply with a legal obligation requiring processing under Union or national law to which the controller is subject or in order to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;

(4) for archiving, scientific or historical research purposes in the public interest or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the law referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the attainment of the objectives of such processing, or

(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right to Information

If you have exercised the right of rectification, erasure or limitation of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification, erasure or limitation of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
They have the right to be informed of these recipients by the person responsible.

6. Right to Data Transferability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the data controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to have this data communicated to another person in charge without interference from the person in charge to whom the personal data has been communicated, provided that

(1) the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and

(2) the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one person responsible to another, as far as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to data transferability shall not apply to processing of personal data which is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right of Objection

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller no longer processes the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling reasons for processing that are worthy of protection, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing, including profiling, insofar as it relates to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
Notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, in the context of the use of Information Society services, you have the possibility of exercising your right of 
objection by means of automated procedures involving technical specifications.

8. Right to Revoke the Declaration of Consent under Data Protection Law

You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent at any time. Revocation of your consent does not affect the legality of the processing that has taken place on the basis of your consent until revocation.

9. Automated Decision in Individual Cases Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that has legal effect on you or significantly affects you in a similar manner. This shall not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between you and the person responsible,

(2) is authorised by Union or national legislation to which the person responsible is subject and that legislation provides for appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or

(3) with your explicit consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the responsible person shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of any person from the responsible person, to express his point of view and to challenge the decision.

10. Right of Appeal to a Supervisory Authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which you are resident, your place of work or the place of the suspected infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you is in breach of the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a legal remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.
