So far, Tuya has passed GDPR compliance verification. In order to meet the requirements of GDPR, Tuya has improved in the following aspects:
Privacy in design
We consider how to minimize the collection of data that is only necessary for our products during the design of our product to ensure that we do not excessively collect and process users' personal information. Besides, the technical personnel will take proper measures to secure the personal data of our users during the development and implementation of the system, such as: encryption storage of sensitive data, setting up strict access authority to ensure the safety of personal data of our users. Measures above have been strictly implemented into the design and development process of our products. Each product has undergone rigorous review before publishing.
Privacy Policy
We are completely transparent about the collection and use of users' personal data. We have clearly stated in the Privacy Policy that what kind of user data we collect, the purpose of the collection, the storage period, and ensure that the data is used within the user's expectations.
Support for User Rights
We put premium on users individual rights to ensure that users can access the data collected by us and can properly modify the data. When users do not demand for our service any more, they can delete their individual data through the App.
Data Security
According to the lifecycle of data, the data security system of Tuya is developed for comprehensive and systematic construction by management and technical means. Every link of the lifecycle of data (data production, storage, use, transmission, data spread and elimination) is under data security management and control to realize the objective of data security. Please refer to the Tuya Smart White Paper for details.
Only part of our works are listed here, but we do more than that.
