This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) for Astra products and Astra services describes information that Astra Inc. collect, use, share, and store, including personal information that personally identifies you, such as your name, email address, or other data that can be reasonably used to infer this information. This document focuses on information related to the operation of Astra products and Astra services. In this Privacy Policy, the expression “Astra products” also includes our websites, Astra MSP Portal, Astra-branded hardware and mobile APPs.

Astra Inc. (alternatively referred to herein as “Astra”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) are committed to protecting your privacy on Astra services. We recognize that the trust placed in us by you requires comprehensive and responsible privacy protections, and we are therefore omitted to providing you with a positive, easy, and secure online experience.

We recognize the need to maintain the confidentiality of information that you reasonably expect to remain private. You expect, deserve and receive nothing less than our fullest commitment to your privacy.

Our commitment:

  1. We will be transparent about the different types of information we collect and how we use them.
  2. We will ask your permission before sharing your personal information with third-parties for purposes other than at your request or provide Astra’s products, and to do so only when we think they will provide you with a welcome additional service.
  3. We maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information and data.

Our Privacy Policy explained:

1. What information does Astra collect?

Any information you enter during the submission of forms or an order on any Astra websites may be collected and stored in our database. In order to better define the type of information that is collected, we have identified and grouped it into seven categories:

  1. Personal Information;
  2. General non-specific and demographic information;
  3. Environmental data from the sensors on Astra products;
  4. Video and audio signals and data;
  5. Technical information from the device;
  6. Log files
  7. Customer proprietary network information

Personal Information

We collect your personal information you provide us, information collected as a result of your relationship with us and information we may obtain from other sources. Personal information, as defined by this Privacy Policy, is an information that can be used to identify you personally, i.e. your name, address, telephone number, email address, and other information required to provide a service, deliver a product, provide customer support.

General Non-Specific and Demographic Information

Any non-personal information either entered by you or recorded as part of the transaction process is considered to be general non-specific and demographic information. This is information that does not contain personal information, and may include experience with Astra products and services, such as the type and quantities of the products purchased and used, your web browser and operation system types, the identity of the web page from which your browser entered our websites, and any other demographic information such as title, educational and employment background, professional interests, which does not specifically identify any one individual. Such information is typically collected by the use of cookies, web logs, and web beacons.

Environmental data from the sensors on Astra products

We collect data from several sensors built into Astra products, such as the ambient light sensor on Astra cameras or wireless signals. These sensors collect data of the use environment. By recording this information, Astra products can react to the environment conditions to keep the operation. For example, Astra cameras will turn on night-vision mode automatically when the environment is dark.

Video and audio signals and data

When you enable the recording or streaming features of your Astra camera, we may record and process video and/or audio recordings from the device, subject to your configuration and settings. This may include capturing and emailing to you portions of this data as part of a notification or analyzing the data to identify motion or other events. We may process information from your Astra camera so that we can send you alerts when something happens. In addition, if you have the recordings features enabled, we will capture, process, and retain video and audio data recordings from your device for the duration or the storage size of your recording subscription plan (i.e. 10 days, 30 days or 10GB, 30GB) and you will be able to access those recordings using the Astra services.

You may save and may choose to share certain content like video clips, live video streams, images, captions, and comments for other people to access using the Astra services. We will collect and store information that will allow us to save or share your content as directed by you through the Astra services.

Technical information from the device

In order to improve your experience over time and help troubleshoot any problem you may encounter with Astra products, we record the device model, serial number, UID, software version, hardware version, and technical information such as WiFi signal strength.

Log files

As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operation system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data. We may combine this automatically collected log information with other information we collect about you. We do this to improve services we offer you, to improve marketing, analytics, or site functionality.

Customer proprietary network information

Should we provide telecommunications services to you, we may collect and maintain certain customer proprietary network information (“CPNI”). Your CPNI might include the types of telecommunications services you receive, usage information, user IDs and password, billing, and transaction information.
