Earthquake Warning Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy was updated on October 15, 2021.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and let us know if you have any questions.

Introduction

Earthquake Warning provides earthquake early warning information and alert broadcasts. This feature is provided to you by Xiaomi and its affiliated companies (hereinafter referred to as "Xiaomi", "we", "our", or "us").

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy sets out the principles on which Earthquake Warning operates, and constitutes an important part of the Xiaomi Privacy Policy. In the event of inconsistency between this Privacy Policy and Xiaomi Privacy Policy with respect to Earthquake Warning, the former shall prevail. For the terms and conditions not stipulated in this Privacy Policy, Xiaomi Privacy Policy will prevail. Terms and conditions regarding the protection of minors, security measures, and cross-border data transmission can be found in Xiaomi Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy is designed with your needs in mind, and you must have a comprehensive understanding of our personal information collection and usage practices while ensuring that ultimately, you have control of your personal information provided to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, process, and store any information that you give us when you use Earthquake Warning. Under this Privacy Policy, "personal information" means information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify an individual, either from that information alone or from that information combined with other information about that individual available to Xiaomi. We will use your personal information strictly following this Privacy Policy.

Ultimately, what we want is the best for all our users. Should you have any questions regarding our data handling practices as summarized in this Privacy Policy, please contact us via https://privacy.mi.com/support to address your specific concerns. We will be happy to hear from you. If you have an unresolved privacy or data use concern that we have not addressed satisfactorily, please contact our U.S.-based third-party dispute resolution provider (free of charge) at https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request.

1. What information we collect and how we use it

1.1 Personal information that we collect and use with your authorization

The purpose of collecting personal information is to provide you with products and/or services, and to ensure that we comply with applicable laws, regulations and other regulatory requirements. You have the right to choose whether or not to provide the information we have requested, but in most cases, if you do not provide your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with the relevant services or respond to your queries. In order to provide earthquake early warning information and alert broadcasts relevant to your location, we may periodically collect your location information. We will not store your location information nor provide this information to any third parties.

1.2 Personal information you may choose whether to authorize us to collect and use

1.2.1 You may choose to use features including Emergency contacts, Emergency medical ID, and Emergency shelters nearby depending on your needs. Your personal information provided for these features will only be stored locally and will not be uploaded to our servers.

If you do not provide this personal information, you can still use Earthquake Warning, but you may not be able to use some additional features. The additional features include:

A. Emergency contacts: You can set up emergency contacts to allow you to quickly call for help in an emergency.

B. Emergency medical ID: You can enter your personal medical information (including name, date of birth, blood type, allergies, medications, any medical conditions, and organ donor status) in order to quickly present this information to medical personnel in an emergency.

1.2.2 The aforementioned additional features may require you to allow Earthquake Warning to access your location and contacts in order to collect and use the information needed for these features. Attention: If you enable access, it means that you authorize us to collect and use such personal information. However, if you disable access or turn off Earthquake warning, it means that you withdraw your authorization and we will not collect or use your personal information anymore, and cannot provide you with the aforementioned features. Your disabling of authorization will not affect our processing of your personal information obtained with your authorization up until the point at which authorization was disabled.

1.3 You are fully informed that we may collect and use personal information without your consent if:

1.3.1 The personal information is vital to national security and defense;

1.3.2 The personal information is vital to public safety, public health, and major public interests;

1.3.3 The personal information is related to criminal investigations, prosecutions, trials, or execution of judgments;

1.3.4 The personal information is essential for protecting major legitimate rights (including life and property) and interests of the personal information subject or other people, but it is hard to obtain the subject's consent;

1.3.5 The personal information collected is made public by the subject at their own discretion;

1.3.6 The personal information is collected from public sources, such as news reports or government announcements;

1.3.7 The personal information is necessary for us to sign the contract as required by you;

1.3.8 The personal information is necessary to maintain the safe and steady operation of products and/or services provided, such as for discovering and handling faults of products and/or services;

1.3.9 The personal information is required for legal news releases; and

1.3.10 The personal information is de-identified in the results of statistical or academic research based on public interest.

1.4 Non-personally identifiable information

We may also collect other types of information which are not directly linked to an individual and which may not be defined as personal information according to applicable local laws. Such information is called non-personally identifiable information. We may include statistical data generated when you use a specific service (e.g. non-identifiable device related information, daily usage (feature clicks and number of openings), page views, page view times, and session events). The purpose of such collection is to improve the services we provide to you. The type and amount of information collected depends on how you use our products and/or services.

We collect anonymous information about your activities on our websites and apps, including unique device identifiers (randomly generated identifiers), device model, system version, etc. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our websites, products, and services they are most interested in. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, such aggregated data is not personal information as it cannot be used to identify you. However, if we combine non-personal information with personal information, such information will be treated as personal information.

2. Sharing your personal information with third-party service providers

If we share your personal information with third parties, we will take appropriate measures to ensure the security of your personal information processing, including but not limited to the encryption of your personal information. We will reasonably examine the data security environment of the companies and organizations with which we share personal information and sign data processing agreements with them; we will require third parties to take sufficient measures to protect your information and strictly abide by the relevant laws and regulations as well as regulatory requirements.

3. Retention policy

We retain personal information for the period necessary for the purpose of the information collection described in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable laws. We will cease to retain and delete or anonymize personal information once the purpose of collection is fulfilled, or after we confirm your request for erasure, or after we terminate the operation of the corresponding product or service. Depending on your jurisdiction, there may be an exception to this for personal information that we are processing for public interest, scientific, historical research, or statistical purposes. Specifically, your location information is used only for determining your location and is not stored, and your local data is under your control. Your information is saved within the territory of the People's Republic of China.

4. Your rights

4.1 Controlling settings

We recognize that privacy concerns differ from person to person. Therefore, we provide examples of ways Xiaomi makes available to you to restrict the collection, use, disclosure, or processing of your personal information and control your privacy settings:

  • Turn location access, access to contacts, and other permissions on and off;

  • Set and modify your emergency contacts and medical information directly in the app.

If you have previously agreed to us using your personal information for the aforementioned purposes, you may change your mind at any time by contacting us via https://privacy.mi.com/support.

4.2 Your rights to your personal information

Depending on applicable laws and regulations, you may have the right to access, rectification, erasure (and certain other rights) in relation to personal information that we hold about you (hereinafter referred to as the request). You may also access and update the details relating to the personal information in your Mi Account at http://account.xiaomi.com or by signing in to your account on your device. For additional information, please write to us at the below address or contact us on https://privacy.mi.com/support.

It will help us to process your request most efficiently if it meets the following conditions:

  • The request is submitted through Xiaomi's exclusive request channel detailed above and for the protection of your information security, your request should be in writing (unless the local law explicitly recognizes the oral request);

  • You provide sufficient information to enable Xiaomi to verify your identity and ensure that you are the data subject or legally authorized to act on the data subject's behalf.

Once we obtain sufficient information to confirm that your request can be processed, we shall proceed to respond to your request within any timeframe set out under your applicable data protection laws. In detail:

  • Based on the requirements of applicable laws, a copy of your personal data collected and processed by us will be provided to you upon your request free of charge. For any extra requests for relevant information, we may charge a reasonable fee based on actual administrative costs according to and if permitted by the applicable laws.

  • If any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, you are entitled to have your personal information corrected or completed based on the purpose of use.

  • Based on the requirements of applicable laws, you have the right to request the deletion or removal of your personal information where there is no compelling reason for us to keep using it. We shall consider the grounds regarding your erasure request and take reasonable steps, including technical measures. Please note that we may not be able to immediately remove the information from the backup system due to applicable law and/or technological limitations. If this is the case, we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until the backup can be deleted or be made anonymous.

We have the right to refuse to process requests that are not meaningful, manifestly unfounded or excessive, requests that damage others' right to privacy, extremely unrealistic requests, and requests that require disproportionate technical work, as well as requests not required under local law, regarding information that has been made public, and regarding information given under confidential conditions. If we believe that certain aspects of a request to delete the information may result in our inability to legally use the information for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or reasons permitted by applicable law, it may also be rejected.

4.3 Withdrawal of consent

  • You may withdraw your consent previously provided to us for a particular purpose by submitting a request, including collecting, using, and/or disclosing your personal information in our possession or control. Based on the specific service you are using, you can contact us on https://privacy.mi.com/support or request to withdraw consent directly in the app. We will process your request within a reasonable time from when the request was made, and thereafter not collect, use and/or disclose your personal information as per your request.

  • Attention: Your withdrawal of consent may result in some legal consequences. You may not be able to continue receiving the full benefit of Xiaomi's products and services, depending on how much authority you grant us to process your information when you use Earthquake Warning. The withdrawal of your consent or authorization will not affect the validity of our processing carried out upon your authorization up until the point of withdrawal.

You may cancel a specific product or service as specified in this Privacy Policy. Alternatively, if no requirements are specified, you can contact us to request termination on https://privacy.mi.com/support. If you wish to cancel the Mi Account, please note that the cancellation will prevent you from using the full range of Xiaomi products and services. To protect your or others' legitimate rights and interests, we will judge whether or not to support your request for cancellation based on your use of various Xiaomi products and services.
