What app permissions do we need


·      Location permission (Android, iOS version)
To obtain the connected Wi-Fi information when setting up devices, the device's location information is required. This is used to provide the functionality of obtaining WLAN and Bluetooth lists when the device is connected to the internet, as well as discovering nearby devices.
·      Obtaining the current WiFi connection status and WLAN hotspot information (Android, iOS version)
This information is required when the device is connected to the internet, and is used to connect to the WIFI emitted by the device for device-to-device internet communication.
·      Floating window permission (Android, iOS version)
When users need to receive notifications from the app, they need to obtain the floating window permission, which is used to receive alarm notifications from the brand's security monitors, cameras, smart sensors, and other devices that have been bound to the app.
·      Camera permission (Android, iOS version)
When registering, the application requires access to the phone's camera to allow the user to take pictures or select images as their account avatar.


For Products with video function, it would require more permissions:

·      Album permission (Android, iOS version)
If purchasing video monitoring devices, access to the phone's album is required to store recorded videos or pictures from manual recordings into the local album, view or delete photos taken within the application, and view recorded videos.
·      Reading phone contact permission (Android version)
If purchasing video monitoring devices and sharing videos, this permission is required to share manually recorded videos with other applications.

When the user binds the brand's cameras, video doorbells, and other devices within the application, access to the phone's microphone is required for features such as video intercom and voice commands.

For Products with security function, it would require more permissions:
·      Global pop-up dialog permission (Android version): 
When the user binds the brand's security monitoring devices within the application, this permission is required for a full-screen red pop-up window to display within the application after the security hub.

What we do with the information we gather

We use your personal data to perform the agreement between us, so you can use the Service:

·        We need your information to contact you, to send you the device you ordered or to assist you with any problem you have.

·        During device setup, the Chuango product will ask for your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password to connect to the Internet. It will save this information on the device, along with your IP address, so that you can access it and control it from your mobile devices, and so that it can communicate with Chuango servers and download software/firmware updates.

·        Some of Chuango alarm devices are designed to help you not miss out on some important device-related notifications. If you choose to activate this feature, you can choose to provide us with phone number information, but we only store your phone number on the device, you are automatically notified when the device status is abnormal.
