The Service includes the reception of information regarding consumption and time values, and environmental aspects of your facility, originating both from the measurement and control devices installed in your home/business as well as from external sources and; the reception of information of events from security/safety devices installed in your home/business. Events may contain sensitive information in the form of photographs/videos, which is stored in an encrypted format.

enControl uses standardized secure technologies for communications, including SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology and encryption of web pages (https). These measures are designed to safeguard your confidential information during electronic communications thus minimizing the possibility of the information being captured and your identity or security compromised. You can verify that the communication through your browser is secure since the browser itself will notify you.

The servers are located in secure locations and only Service Provider employees and related agents have access, in cases of strict necessity, to the Personal Inf. and Installation Inf.

4.5       Contacting You

Occasionally, we may need to send you information regarding important enControl updates; in these cases or in other necessary situations, we will notify you by e-mail (or by means of another electronic channel of the Service).

 

4.6       Geofencing

A virtual perimeter (geofence) is a circular geographic area centred on a given location. This default location is the location of the home installation. IOS and Android applications will notify the service when a user (their mobile) is crossing the boundaries of a perimeter.

The iOS and Android applications configure the geofence service offered by the operating system, by registering a specific latitude and longitude (which should coincide with the one of the installation) and radius. The number of geofences that can be used is restricted by the service offered by the Android or iOS operating system.

The operating system (phone) will notify the application when the (phone) enters or leaves the perimeter. The application does not obtain phone positioning points, it will only receive an "entering perimeter X" or "leaving perimeter Y", and therefore the exact location is never being sent to the Service.

The service does not maintain a history of perimeter entries and departures. Only the last notification sent.

The number of geofences is determined by the service offered by the Android and iOS operating system.

Notice that Android may provide generic information about the APP in which the user is informed that the APP is accessing precise phone’s positioning (NETWORK and GPS). As stated before, our APPs do not access nor capture nor store GPS locations, just notify the Service when user crosses a given perimeter.

4.7       Cookies and Related Technology

The so-called “Persistent Cookies” are small data files that are stored by the web browser on the personal computer used to access the Site. Personal information such as an access code is never stored. You can configure your web browser with different options related to cookies. If you choose not to use all the cookies, you will not be able to access all the pages of the Site.  The so-called “Secure Session Cookies” are cookies that are only stored in temporary memory instead of on the hard drive and are deleted when the web browser is closed. In order to offer secure access to the site, a unique session identifier is created. This session identifier expires when you exit the Service or when a certain inactivity period is exceeded. We may use other types of technology and monitoring of navigation in order to collect anonymous information regarding access to the Service; we do this to help us offer you a continuous improvement of the Service and of the user’s experience. Other third-party companies may use cookies or another technology to help us manage our marketing efforts more efficiently (for example, e-mail servers, analytical tools, etc.). We select these service providers and enter into agreements with them to the effect that the said service providers not monitor or store any personal information; they may only share the acquired anonymous information with us.

4.8            Legal Compliance

We may be required by the authorities to disclose your Personal Inf. and/or your Installation Inf.; in this case we are obligated by law to access this information. In general, we will also access your Personal Inf. and/or your Installation Inf. if we think that such access is in favor of a necessary action: (1) to comply with the law or for a legal proceeding in which the Service Provider, the Site, or the Service is involved, (2) to defend and protect the rights or property of the Service Provider; or (3) to protect the personal security of the users of the Service and/or the Site. Given that it is possible to use the Service in a negligent manner, the Service Provider reserves the right to provide the relevant authorities with all information related to the said abuse, including all illegal activity that is carried out through your user account.

4.9       Access and Correction

Sensing & Control in compliance with the data protection regulations and with the intention to treat only the essential and proportional data for the provision of services, recommends that the user only include in the incidents of the system the data essential and necessary for the Review of the fault or error detected; Without it being necessary in any case to provide images where a person can be identified. In the event that an image of an identifiable natural person is included, Sensing & Control declares that it will not carry out any additional treatment to the resolution of the detected incidence, but the user must have the relevant authorizations of the identifiable person to send images, in any case exempting Sensing & Control from any liability that may be derived for lack thereof.

 

In any case, you can indicate the revocation of the consent of the processing of personal information, as well as exercise the rights of access, rectification or deletion, the limitation of the treatment or oppose, as well as the right to the portability of the data. These requests must be made in C / ARAGO 208, 5E 1A, 08011 BARCELONA (BARCELONA) by letter or sending an email to support@sensingcontrol.com.
