This Privacy Policy applies to our website www.NeatoRobotics.com (“Website”), to your My Neato account (where you can register your NEATO robots with us) and your developer My Neato account (where you can register to become a third party Neato software developer) (collectively, our “Services”).

Which Personal Data we Collect
Personal Data is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you (“Personal Data”). Such Personal Data may include your name, address, email address, telephone number, birth date (primarily for eligibility purposes), billing and credit card information.
We collect Personal Data from you when you use our Website as further described in this Privacy Policy. In all of these cases, we will only process Personal Data that you provide directly to us or which we automatically collect from you as specified in this Privacy Policy. Unless defined in this Privacy Policy or unless you give us permission to do so, we will not use or share your Personal Data other than as specified in this Privacy Policy.
How we Collect and Use Your Personal Data
In the following section, you will find information on how we collect your Personal Data, for which purposes we process your data and on which legal basis we do so. To the extent the legal basis of our processing of your data are our legitimate interests, you can contact us at the contact details below if you require more details on our legitimate interests. If we use your consent as the legal basis of our processing of your Personal Data, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time with future effect as described in the following or by contacting us at the contact details below. This will not affect the processing of your Personal Data being undertaken until the revocation. The same applies if we refer to your consent or our legitimate interests in other parts of this Privacy Policy.
The types of information that you provide actively and that we collect automatically depend on your level of engagement with our Services. The higher the level of your engagement, the more information we need to serve you.
We collect Information, some of which contains Personal Data that you provide directly to us through responses to special Services such as surveys, questionnaires and the like. We use this data to personalise our Services and to optimize your customer experience when using our Website.
Moreover, we automatically collect information including Personal Data when you browse our Website, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, error logs, and other similar information. Such aggregated information does not allow us to identify you and is used by us to analyse trends, to administer the Website, to monitor our Website’s use, and to gather general information about the use of our Website.
The legal basis for such processing of your Personal Data are our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in customizing the content of our Services in line with user preferences and in further improving our Services.
Please note that you are not legally required to provide us with your Personal Data. However, without your Personal Data we will not be able to provide you with the full range of our Services.

During these steps, you will be required to provide us with Personal Data such as your name, postcode and email address. When you become a My Neato account holder, we will send you a welcome email to provide transactional information about your subscription or to verify your username and password.
