Privacy Policy

Personal Information. The term means any information that can be used to identify a specific natural person directly or indirectly, either in isolation or in combination with other information. Some examples of Personal Information include a name, address, email address, phone number, any ID number, or location data.

Aggregated Information. Information may be aggregated and/or anonymized. When information is aggregated, it is combined with information about other customers and users. Aggregated information that includes Personal Information is considered Personal Information until it has been anonymized.

Anonymized Information. When information is anonymized, the information can no longer be attributed to a specific natural person without the use of additional information; for example, how many users viewed a particular website video or advertisement, such information cannot be used to identify you. In general, usage data collected when you visit the website is both aggregated and anonymized, so it does not identify you personally and is therefore not personal information.

Children’s Personal Information. The Website is not directed to, nor does Sohnne knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 16 (Sixteen), or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction. If we are informed that we have collected the Personal Information of a child under the age of 16, we will delete that Personal Information from our systems. If you believe we might have inadvertently collected Personal Information from or about a child under the age of 16, please contact us at support@sohnne.com.

When you purchase and/or download new products, we will only use your Personal Information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, and any notification provided to you at the time of purchase or download.

The payment processor is authorized to use this information only to authenticate your purchase and for no other purpose.

In addition, we share aggregated anonymized information, including usage data about our products, with third parties for various purposes, including analyzing trends about home networking and utility use, showing third parties how their products could work with the Products, and generally improving home networking.

When we no longer need to use Personal Information, we will remove it from our systems and records and/or take steps to anonymize it so that you can no longer be identified from it.

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; and the applicable legal requirements.

We strive to maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information collected by the Website. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not 100% secure.

If you do not want your information to be available to others, exercise caution when using public computers or devices or when using any computer or device to which users unauthorized by you may have access.

We recommend that you take every precaution to protect your Personal Information while using the Internet For example, you should change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers when creating them, and ensure that you are using a secure browser. You should also be aware that names that you give your Wi-Fi-enabled devices, home networks, and services (also known as “friendly names”) may be detectable by others outside your home, so you should not use Personal Information as part of your friendly names.
