Contexts for Collecting Personal Data

Registration and Login

Throughout the use of your NAS device, UGREEN has no access to your photos, documents, videos, etc. stored on your NAS device. Your data can only be accessed by you personally and your friends who accept your sharing.You can log in with your created local account (excluding official UGREEN Cloud website). The local account is divided into an administrator account and a non-administrator account; if you use the local account , all data is stored locally on your NAS device and your cell phone (or computer), UGREEN does not collect any personal data of you. You may also log in to UGREEN NAS through a local account, during which none of your personal information will be collected. We shall collect and process your personal information under this Policy if required in other circumstances.

If you encounter difficulties recalling your UGREEN NAS login credentials, you can utilize the password retrieval feature. For enhanced account security, we may request identity verification through one of four methods: your UGREEN Cloud account details, device information, local account, and password, or the device sharer's account information.

When you log in to UGREEN NAS on your app, go to the home page, and scan the QR code to log into the TV/PC client or to identify your NAS device, we will invoke the sensor information of your mobile device (such as direction sensor, rotation vector sensor (underlying physical sensors, including accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope), and light sensor) to automatically adjust the direction and light of the scanning interface, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of scanning. Please understand that device sensor data alone does not involve any personal information and cannot be combined with other information to identify a specific natural person.

UGREEN Cloud account

When logged in with a local account, if you need to use the UGREENlink service, Configuration Backup and Restoration, or the SMS alert function for important NAS device information, you need to bind and use a UGREEN Cloud account to register and log in. At this time, you need to provide your phone number (for users in mainland China) or email (for users in other countries or regions), along with additional identification information (such as a profile picture and nickname). This enables us to assist with the registration process, enhance your account details, maintain account security, and support account recovery. We may link the basic information you provide to your UGREEN NAS device and send important device notifications via SMS or email. Registration or login to UGREEN NAS is contingent on this information.

Collecting this information is to assist you in device binding, identifying your device, and associating it with your account. This ensures you can inquire and manage the devices you have bound with your account. This enables you to monitor the status of your device in real time and ensures that the management rights of the device are allocated appropriately. For device administrators, we also gather the device's warranty expiration date to provide prompt warranty expiration reminders.

How Your Personal Information is Transferred Globally

UGREEN offers products and services utilizing resources and servers located worldwide. Consequently, your personal information may be transferred to or accessed from jurisdictions outside the country where you use our products or services. These transfers and accesses are conducted in compliance with applicable laws.

To provide the user with global UGREEN NAS services, UGREEN transfers the user’s personal information from the account registration country/region (home country/region) to HONG KONG UGREEN LIMITED (UGREEN’s affiliate in Hong Kong, “HONG KONG UGREEN” ) on a need-to-know-basis.

Specifically, after registration by the user, UGREEN will transmit the home country/region to HONG KONG UGREEN. When you enable UGLINK function, we will transfer UGLINK information of your NAS device to HONG KONG UGREEN.With that, UGREEN can, through HONG KONG UGREEN, identify the home country/region of the user’s account and then assign the user to the server in the his/her home country/region whenever a request is made by the user from any location worldwide. Suppose the user is traveling for business or pleasure to places such as Europe or North America, and accessing his/her device in mainland China there, then the home country/region and UGLINK information of the user’s NAS device will be transmitted from the Hong Kong server to UGREEN’s affiliates Ugreen Group GmbH (located in Germany) or AMERICA UGREEN LIMITED (located in the United States). This is required for us to provide the user with global UGREEN cloud services, which will allow the user to conveniently and efficiently access his/her UGREEN NAS device from any country/region worldwide.

To safeguard cross-border personal information security, we employ technical and managerial measures like encryption, anonymization, access restriction, and monitoring of offshore UGREEN affiliates and cloud service providers to comply with China's personal information protection standards.

2. How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information
We collect and use personal information provided by you, generated during your use of UGREEN NAS, or obtained from third parties with your consent. This is done in order to satisfy your use of UGREEN NAS, communicate with you, and improve or optimize our products or services. As our offerings evolve, we might alter our products or services. Should we use your information for purposes not covered in this Policy, or use information collected for specific purposes for other uses, we will inform you and seek your consent, except where legal grounds or justifications exist for processing your data without consent. See the UGREEN NAS Personal Information Collection Check list for an overview of the personal data we gather.

2.1.Contexts for Collecting Personal Data
Registration and Login
Throughout the use of your NAS device, UGREEN has no access to your photos, documents, videos, etc. stored on your NAS device. Your data can only be accessed by you personally and your friends who accept your sharing.You can log in with your created local account (excluding official UGREEN Cloud website). The local account is divided into an administrator account and a non-administrator account; if you use the local account , all data is stored locally on your NAS device and your cell phone (or computer), UGREEN does not collect any personal data of you. You may also log in to UGREEN NAS through a local account, during which none of your personal information will be collected. We shall collect and process your personal information under this Policy if required in other circumstances.
In the official UGREEN website login channel, you can register and log in to UGREEN Cloud using a Ugreen Cloud account. You can also opt for quick registration and login to UGREEN NAS through a third-party account, provided we have authorization to access your personal data on the third-party platform, including Apple accounts, profile pictures, WeChat (nickname, openid), and QQ (nickname) for users in mainland China, as well as Facebook and Google accounts and other information authorized by you for users in other countries. This information is used for the creation of a UGREEN Cloud account linked to the third-party account, which you can use for registration, login, and accessing UGREEN NAS services. In certain instances, we may revalidate and link your phone number or email to confirm the authenticity and association of your third-party account.
If you encounter difficulties recalling your UGREEN NAS login credentials, you can utilize the password retrieval feature. For enhanced account security, we may request identity verification through one of four methods: your UGREEN Cloud account details, device information, local account, and password, or the device sharer's account information.

(1)UGREEN Cloud account
When logged in with a local account, if you need to use the UGREENlink service, Configuration Backup and Restoration, or the SMS alert function for important NAS device information, you need to bind and use a UGREEN Cloud account to register and log in. At this time, you need to provide your phone number (for users in mainland China) or email (for users in other countries or regions), along with additional identification information (such as a profile picture and nickname). This enables us to assist with the registration process, enhance your account details, maintain account security, and support account recovery. We may link the basic information you provide to your UGREEN NAS device and send important device notifications via SMS or email. Registration or login to UGREEN NAS is contingent on this information.

(2)Bind device
To successfully bind and manage your UGREEN NAS device, we need to collect the following information when you bind the device: UGREEN NAS Device model, device serial number SN and MAC address, IP address, UGREENlink ID (if you enable the UGREENlink feature) and your customized device name, device system status (online/offline/sleeping), device holding role (owner/sharer), and warranty expiration time (visible only to administrators). Collecting this information is to assist you in device binding, identifying your device, and associating it with your account. This ensures you can inquire and manage the devices you have bound with your account. This enables you to monitor the status of your device in real time and ensures that the management rights of the device are allocated appropriately. For device administrators, we also gather the device's warranty expiration date to provide prompt warranty expiration reminders.

(3)Login History and Trusted Device Management

To protect your account against unauthorized access, swiftly identify and address abnormal activities, and safeguard against security threats, we collect the following login history details when you access UGREEN NAS:
Login Time: Recording the precise login times, accurate to the second;
Operation Record: Documenting your account logins and unbinding actions;
Location Information: Determining your login city by analyzing and identifying your IP address;
IP Address: Used to pinpoint the login network's location (accurate to city);
Operating System: Identifying the operating system used during login, such as iOS, Android, macOS, Windows;
Access Method: Determining whether access to UGREEN NAS is via the website or other clients.

We permit the setting of "trusted devices" to bypass repeated verification for easier and more secure login on these devices. This feature simplifies the login process while maintaining security and ease of use.
Collection of Login Details: To improve account security, we record the device model and name, login location (identified by IP address, accurate to city), and your most recent login time. This helps us promptly verify who is logging into the account and take the necessary security precautions.
User Management: You can review your login history and trusted device list, and are entitled to remove any suspicious devices. Should you detect any unusual activity, we advise changing your password and removing suspicious devices to ensure account security.

Trusted Device Information Collection Aims to:

Enhance Account Security: By monitoring login history, we effectively monitor for and prevent unauthorized access, maintaining account security. We can take prompt action, including by notifying you and taking further precautions, whenever our system detects any unusual login attempts or security threats.
Manage Trusted Devices: You are entitled to manage your trusted devices, minimize verification on frequently used devices, and effortlessly delete any suspicious or outdated devices from our system.

To provide optimal support, we may collect and use data such as your: UGREEN NAS device's serial number, device model and system, client model, WeChat ID, and other access methods to UGREEN NAS(such as via LAN or wireless network). This information aids in understanding your product usage, allowing us to offer tailored technical support and solutions.

If you choose to use UGREEN NAS services in conjunction with third-party cloud storage services, such as Baidu Netdisk (exclusively for mainland China users) and OneDrive, we will collect your account details for these third party cloud services, including account name, profile picture, membership level, and cloud storage capacity. This collection facilitates file transfer and synchronization tasks between UGREEN NAS and these third-party services. We will request file read and write permissions to ensure seamless file transfers and management between UGREEN NAS and the third-party cloud storage services. We warrant that such permissions will be used solely for the purpose of smooth file uploads, downloads, and task synchronization. You have the right to decide whether to link third-party cloud storage services with UGREEN NAS. Declining this connection won't affect your access to other UGREEN NAS services and features.

(6)LAN Device Search via find.ugnas.com
When you use the WebFind service on find.ugnas.com to search for and activate LAN devices, we collect device-specific data including the device name, IP address, Mac address, serial number, operating system version, model name, and status. This data ensures accurate and efficient identification of LAN devices for your convenience.

(7)UGREENlink Services
Accessing UGREENlink services requires an initial login to your UGREEN Cloud account. Upon login, you may opt to activate the UGREENlink feature for quick and remote connection to your UGREEN NAS device. To provide this feature, we will collect the product serial number, IP address, and routing port of your UGREEN NAS device. These details are essential for establishing a secure connection and optimizing user experience. Serial numbers help ensure precise and secure linkage to your UGREEN Cloud account, enabling access to UGREENlink services. We gather your IP address and routing port information when you use UGREENlink features to facilitate remote connectivity to your device, allowing you to access and manage your UGREEN NAS device from afar. Please note, that this information is only collected for UGREENlink features. If you choose not to use UGREENlink features, we will not collect or use this information for the aforementioned purposes.

See the UGREEN NAS Personal Information Collection Check list for an overview of the personal data we gather.

Contexts for Collecting Personal Data

Registration and Login

Throughout the use of your NAS device, UGREEN has no access to your photos, documents, videos, etc. stored on your NAS device. Your data can only be accessed by you personally and your friends who accept your sharing.You can log in with your created local account (excluding official UGREEN Cloud website). The local account is divided into an administrator account and a non-administrator account; if you use the local account , all data is stored locally on your NAS device and your cell phone (or computer), UGREEN does not collect any personal data of you. You may also log in to UGREEN NAS through a local account, during which none of your personal information will be collected. We shall collect and process your personal information under this Policy if required in other circumstances.

If you encounter difficulties recalling your UGREEN NAS login credentials, you can utilize the password retrieval feature. For enhanced account security, we may request identity verification through one of four methods: your UGREEN Cloud account details, device information, local account, and password, or the device sharer's account information.

UGREEN Cloud account

When logged in with a local account, if you need to use the UGREENlink service, Configuration Backup and Restoration, or the SMS alert function for important NAS device information, you need to bind and use a UGREEN Cloud account to register and log in. At this time, you need to provide your phone number (for users in mainland China) or email (for users in other countries or regions), along with additional identification information (such as a profile picture and nickname). This enables us to assist with the registration process, enhance your account details, maintain account security, and support account recovery. We may link the basic information you provide to your UGREEN NAS device and send important device notifications via SMS or email. Registration or login to UGREEN NAS is contingent on this information.

Bind device

To successfully bind and manage your UGREEN NAS device, we need to collect the following information when you bind the device: UGREEN NAS Device model, device serial number SN and MAC address, IP address, UGREENlink ID (if you enable the UGREENlink feature) and your customized device name, device system status (online/offline/sleeping), device holding role (owner/sharer), and warranty expiration time (visible only to administrators). Collecting this information is to assist you in device binding, identifying your device, and associating it with your account. This ensures you can inquire and manage the devices you have bound with your account. This enables you to monitor the status of your device in real time and ensures that the management rights of the device are allocated appropriately. For device administrators, we also gather the device's warranty expiration date to provide prompt warranty expiration reminders.
