Privacy Statement for Onvifer
Last updated: May 2015
Key points:
We want you to understand the privacy policy truly, so we provide the following
two key points upfront before all the fine print:
- Onvifer NEVER collects and transmits personal information without asking
the permission explicitly from the user. Personal information includes all
information or data that could reasonably be used to identify a person. Examples
of personal information include: contacts, photos, phone number, audio & video
recordings, location, SMS or other text communication, images of the computer’s
desktop or screen shots, unique identifiers based on the computer's hardware,
and in some cases, combined browsing history.
- Onvifer may collect the information of software exceptions (i.e. internal
program crashes in plain English) and app usage occasionally for the sole
purpose of improving the app. To our best knowledge, it is less than 1% of
what commonly used analytics platforms that collect information at every turn of app. Our apps normally do not send a single byte during any session of app use.
This policy is modeled on the privacy policies of Microsoft for their
applications.
Because we at Biyee SciTech, Inc. respect your privacy, we want you to
understand how we collect and use information about you. We are committed to
helping protect the privacy of your information and helping ensure you have full
control over how your information is used and shared.

devices. Please read the information below and also any supplemental information
linked to this page for additional details about particular Onvifer and
services you might use. This isn’t intended to be an exhaustive list and doesn’t

Collection and use of your personal information
We use the information we collect to enable the features you are using and
provide the services or carry out the requests you authorize. We might also use
the information to request feedback, provide critical updates and notifications
regarding the software, improve the product or service, for example, bug and
survey form inquiries, or provide you with advance notice of events or to tell
you about new product releases.
Some personal information you enter might be included in metadata files. This
metadata is solely used by Onvifer to function with stated features.
Personal information you provide is never transferred to third parties without
your consent. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services
on our behalf, such as providing customer support. We only provide those
companies with the personal information they need to deliver the service.
They’re required to maintain the confidentiality of that information and are
prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
Personal information is never sent to BST.
BST might access or disclose information about you, including the content of
your communications, to: (a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests
or legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of BST or our customers,
including the enforcement of our agreements or policies governing your use of
the services; or (c) act on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure
is necessary to protect the personal safety of BST employees, customers, or the
public.
Collection and use of information about your computer
Onvifer includes features that access the Internet to provide you with
additional information. These features are available any time you have an active
connection to the Internet.
Any time Onvifer contacts a BST server, information about your computer
("standard computer information") is sent. BST uses standard computer
information to provide you Internet-enabled services, to help improve our
products and services, and for statistical analysis. Standard computer
information typically includes information such as your IP address, operating
system version, browser version, and regional and language settings. If a
particular feature or service sends information to BST, standard computer
information is also sent.
After Onvifer has been installed, future Internet requests from that
computer might contain information that includes the name of your software
product and the version number. This information doesn’t contain personally
identifiable information.
From time to time, BST might change some of the Internet addresses (URLs) of the
Internet services it provides. To ensure uninterrupted service, BST might
download a file to your system containing the new Internet addresses that
OneNote needs to access to allow you to use Internet services.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file placed on your hard disk by an Internet server.
Cookies contain information that can later be read by an Internet server in the
domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies can’t be used to run applications
or deliver viruses to your computer.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to
save you time.
Whenever Onvifer contacts a BST server, it can potentially save or access
cookies. We also use cookies to assist in collecting information about which
pages our customers visit within BST web sites. This site visitation data is
identified only by a unique ID number, and it’s never linked with personal
information unless you consent as described elsewhere in the Privacy Statement.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies or change your language or
locale by changing the settings in the Privacy tab of the Internet Options in
the Control Panel.
BST products accept the privacy settings you select under Internet Options in
Control Panel or in Internet Explorer and doesn’t download cookies if you have
chosen not to allow cookies to be downloaded. Those features, described later in
this statement, that use cookies might not work correctly with this setting in
place. In addition, features used by websites and services that use cookies
might not work correctly in Internet Explorer.

Onvifer may use third party (Google, Amazon, Microsoft) in-app service to allow the user to purchase a

configuration and how you use our software and services to identify trends and
usage patterns.
