CamStreamer may collect two (2) types of information about you: Personal and Non-Personal.

CamStreamer may collect Personal Information when you use the CamStreamer Services including, without limitation, download or purchase licenses, filling out surveys, pay invoices, corresponding with CamStreamer, or otherwise volunteering information about yourself.

CamStreamer may collect Non-Personal Information through methods discussed above as well as automatically through use of industry standard technologies described further below. This information may be, however, linked to your Personal Information and in such case may also identify you.

We use others to help us provide the CamStreamer Services (e.g., maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, fraud detection, marketing and development). They will have access to your information as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

Service providers we work with to deliver our business, who are acting as processors and provide us with:

  1. website development and hosting services; and/or

We require third-party service providers to maintain appropriate security to protect your information from unauthorised access or processing.

Whenever in the course of engaging the service providers, we transfer personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area and other regions with comprehensive data protection laws, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy Policy and as permitted by the applicable laws on data protection (such as on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses, EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and/or adequacy decisions).

CamStreamer does not sell, trade or rent Personal Information collected through the CamStreamer Services to any third party unless you have requested us to disclose your Personal Information to a third party (such as YouTube.com when streaming your videos directly to YouTube.com; in such case please consult YouTube Privacy Policy).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (2) enforce our agreements with you, (3) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; or (4) exercise or protect the rights and safety of CamStreamer. We attempt to notify our users about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.

8 Data processing in CamStreamer Cloud

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new general measure on the protection of personal data in the EU which will come into effect on May 25th, 2018.

We have been dealing intensely with the issue of GDPR in our company and are required to fulfill the conditions that this new norm binds us to, at the latest on the date that it comes into effect. We declare the following in regard to security and organizational measures linked to providing our services:

  1. The CamStreamer platform allows for effective control of access to individual cameras and the footage from them.
  2. CamStreamer strictly regulates which of its employees has the right to access its clients’ data. Also, technical support’s access to footage and live views must be agreed upon by the system administrator.
  3. We are constantly working on securing the platform and reacting to current threats by updating the system.
  4. Cameras communicate with servers of the platform via an encrypted TLS tunnel. Authentication is carried out properly on both sides (server to device and device to server) so that an attacker cannot impersonate the device or server. In addition, data are sent from the camera through an HTTPS connection with an authenticated client certificate. Note: This information is valid for cameras with FW >= 5.60.
  5. Data between the CamStreamer platform and the client are exclusively transferred via an encrypted HTTPS connection with a trusted certificate authority. Our HTTPS server is correctly configured, and has an A+ rating according to HTTPS://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=system.netrex.cz&hideResults=on. We use HSTS technology to enforce the encryption of data.
  6. Recordings and other user data are saved on servers belonging to the NetRex company. They are hosted in two data centers: TTC DC1, Tiskařská 257/10, 108 00, Prague 10-Malešice and TTC DC2, Sazečská 595/10, 108 00, Prague 10-Malešice. Both data centers have TIER III certification. Only authorized employees of the NetRex company have access to the servers. Client data are not saved outside the territory of the EU. Servers are located in a lockable rack in a data hall with controlled access and a camera system. The data hall is located in the Data Center, which fulfills security criteria (24/7 security guard, monitoring of authorized individuals upon entry, monitoring activity in the hall via camera system). Both data centers have agreed to fulfill the conditions of GDPR. In addition, recordings are archived in a proprietary format.
  7. If data is saved on the SD card, the Axis cameras that we use exclusively make it possible to encrypt recordings saved onto the SD card.
  8. In the event of a request to delete a recording, it is possible to find this recording easily on the CamStreamer platform according to the time sign and delete it.
  9. The CamStreamer platform is equipped with a system for logging activity and operations. Recordings are saved for a period of 30 days. They serve to detect suspicious behavior or detect compromised systems.

9 Changes to CamStreamer’s Privacy Policy

CamStreamer continually strives to implement new technologies and processes to better protect you, your privacy and your use of the CamStreamer Services. As a result, changes to this Privacy Policy may be made by CamStreamer from time to time. In no event will these changes result in the degradation of any of the security measures designed to protect you from unauthorized disclosure, as such measures are described in this Privacy Policy.
