Summary: You can use basic device control features without creating a personal account. This version also explains device permissions such as Bluetooth, nearby devices, location, camera, and photo library or storage access.

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Shenzhen Street Cat Technology Co., Ltd. (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you use Ocoopa and related services.

Our App is designed for IoT device control. You can use the basic device control features without creating a personal account and without providing your real name, phone number, email address, birthday, gender, profile photo, or physical address.

When you bind a device, we may create a random nickname or anonymous user ID to support device binding, device control, firmware updates, diagnostics, repair service, customer support, and service security.

We collect only the information necessary to provide device control, firmware updates, diagnostics, repair service, replacement, customer support, security, and legal compliance.

2. Regional Data Processing and Region Selection

We deploy our services separately in Europe and the United States.

For users who select Europe as their service region, data is generally processed through our European server environment.

For users who select the United States as their service region, data is generally processed through our United States server environment.

We do not routinely transfer or synchronize user data between our European and United States server environments.

In limited cases, data may be accessed or transferred where necessary for security, legal compliance, customer support, service maintenance, product safety, fraud prevention, or other legitimate operational purposes. Where required by applicable law, we will apply appropriate safeguards for such processing or transfer.

Server regions include:

  • Europe: Germany
  • United States: California
  • When you first use the App, you may be asked to select a service region. Your selected region determines which server environment is used for device services, firmware updates, repair requests, and data requests.
  • We currently provide service regions for Europe and the United States. If you are outside these regions, you may choose the region closest to where you mainly use the App or where you purchased the product.
  • Changing your region may require a new anonymous user ID and may require you to re-bind your device. Previous device bindings, repair requests, and service records may not be automatically available in the new region.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Anonymous Device Account Information

  • When you first use the App, we may generate an anonymous user ID for the current App installation. This ID is used to support device binding, firmware updates, diagnostics, repair requests, and service security.
  • If you uninstall the App, clear App data, or change your phone, the previous anonymous user ID may no longer be available. When you use the App again, a new anonymous user ID may be generated.
  • In anonymous mode, previous device bindings or service records may not be automatically recoverable. If you need to continue a repair request, you may use your repair ticket number and contact email for verification.
  • When you bind a device, we may also create a random nickname for the device account.
  • This information may include:
  • Anonymous user ID
  • Random nickname
  • Device binding status
  • Binding time
  • Device unbinding status
  • Last device connection time

We do not require your real name, gender, birthday, profile photo, phone number, email address, or physical address for basic device control.

The random nickname or anonymous user ID is not intended to directly identify you by name. However, some anonymous identifiers or device identifiers may still be considered personal data under applicable privacy laws if they can be linked to a user or device. We protect such information with appropriate technical and organizational measures.

3.2 Device and Firmware Information

To provide device control, firmware updates, compatibility checks, diagnostics, product safety, and service support, we may collect device-related information.

This information may include:

  • Device ID or device identifier
  • Product model
  • Hardware version
  • Firmware version
  • App version
  • Operating system type and version
  • Region and language settings
  • OTA update status
  • Battery level, when necessary for diagnostics or update safety
  • Error codes or device status logs, when necessary
  • Last connection time or last update check time

We use this information only for device operation, firmware updates, compatibility checks, diagnostics, service support, product safety, and security.

We do not use device and firmware information to identify you by name unless you separately provide personal information for after-sales service.

3.3 Repair Request Information

If you submit a repair request or after-sales service request, we may collect information necessary to review, process, and communicate with you about your request.

This information may include:

  • Order number

  • Uploaded device photos, if you choose to upload them

We use this information only to review, process, and communicate with you about your repair or after-sales service request.

3.4 Photos Uploaded for Repair Service

You may choose to upload photos related to the device fault. Uploading photos is optional unless we clearly state otherwise for a specific repair request.

We do not require or support video uploads through the App repair request process.

  • Unrelated personal information

We use uploaded photos only to review and process your repair or after-sales service request.

3.5 Device Permissions

Depending on your device platform, operating system version, and the features you use, the App may request access to certain device permissions.

Bluetooth Permissions

The App may use Bluetooth permissions to scan, discover, connect to, and communicate with nearby Ocoopa devices for device binding, device control, firmware updates, diagnostics, and device management.

Nearby Devices Permission

On supported Android versions, the App may request nearby devices permission to enable Bluetooth device discovery and communication.

Location Permission

On certain Android devices or operating system versions, location permission may be required by the operating system to enable Bluetooth device discovery and connection.

The App does not use location permission to track your precise geographic location and does not collect GPS location data unless separately stated and authorized by you.

Camera Permission

The App may request camera access when you choose to take photos for repair or after-sales service requests.

Photo Library or Storage Permission

The App may request access to your photo library, media files, or local storage to allow you to select, upload, save, or manage repair-related photos or files.

You may manage or revoke permissions through your device settings at any time. Certain App features may not function properly if permissions are denied.
