When Keenetic no longer needs to process your personal data, we will erase it from our systems and/or records and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that you can no longer be identified from it unless we need to keep your information to comply with legal or regulatory obligations to which Keenetic is subject.

8.2 We will retain your contact details and interests in our products or services for a longer period of time if Keenetic is allowed to send you marketing materials.

I. Categories of Personal Data

We process the following Personal Data about you:

  • IP address of your Keenetic Device (referred to as "IP Address");

II. Processing purposes

We process your Personal Data to the extent permitted or required under applicable law, for the following purposes:

  • to ensure the operation of your Keenetic Device (such as to (i) maintain a permanent secure connection with Keenetic servers, (ii) check the originality of your Keenetic Device and the presence of a valid license (as applicable), (iii) record your consent to the this Device privacy notice and End User License Agreement) (jointly referred to as "Authenticity Status Verification").

For this purpose your Keenetic Device transmits IP address, Service Tag, the device serial number, model number, End User License Agreement version and the date of consent, Data Privacy Notice version and the date of consent.

  • to set and synchronize the time between your Keenetic Device and Keenetic time server (referred as "Time Synchronization").

For this purpose, only the IP address of your Keenetic Device is transmitted. By default, the Keenetic Device will synchronize time with Keenetic time servers. You can change this by configuring your preferred NTP time server under the "General system settings" section.

  • to verify the availability, proper operation and speed of the internet connection (such as to (i) establish a periodical connection to the Keenetic test server; (ii) measure the internet speed between your Keenetic Device and Keenetic speed test server) (referred as "Internet Checker").

For this purpose only the IP address of your Keenetic Device is transmitted.

  • to ensure your Keenetic Device stability, safety and security (such as to send KeeneticOS software updates to your Keenetic Device) (referred to as "Automatic Updates").

In order to determine the necessary updates, your Keenetic device sends Service Tag, the device serial number, model number, device’s current KeeneticOS software version and components list, to us at regular intervals. We use this data in order to build required KeeneticOS software image for your Keenetic device and perform targeted update.

The "KeeneticOS automatic updates" option is disabled by default. However, in order to ensure the security and reliable operation of your device, we recommend enabling this option during installation or later under "General system settings" section. In a Mesh Wi-Fi System configuration, the "KeeneticOS automatic updates" option is automatically applied from the Main Keenetic router to the Extenders.

  • to improve your Keenetic Device quality and performance (such as to share anonymous Keenetic device diagnostic and usage information) (referred to as "Product Improvement Program").

The Product Improvement Program collects and periodically sends statistically relevant data on quality, application scenarios and ambient parameters from a random sample of Keenetic devices. This information serves to detect technical problems, to guide useful further development, and to make qualitative improvements measurable.

Diagnostics data do not include any names assigned by the customer. Insofar as diagnostics data must be logged and evaluated, we do so in anonymized form, that is, without any reference to the person of the user. This way you can benefit from optimizations implemented in updates or necessary adjustments by Keenetic. Examples of diagnostics data are quality and configuration parameters of the LTE and DSL modems, internet and Wi-Fi connections, basic performance parameters, configurations of the KeeneticOS operating system, and crash reports resulted from errors in operation.

The "Product Improvement Program" option is disabled by default. However, in order help Keenetic improve your experience, we recommend enabling this option during installation or later under "General system settings" section. In a Mesh Wi-Fi System configuration, the "Product Improvement Program" option is automatically applied from the Main Keenetic router to the Extenders;

  • to provide you with the opportunity to securely access your Keenetic Device remotely (referred to as "Dynamic DNS Service").

Keenetic operates a dynamic DNS server (KeenDNS Service) to provide remote access to your Keenetic Device over the Internet. For this purpose, your Keenetic Device transmits its IP address, Service Tag and requested Domain Name to the KeenDNS server. KeenDNS server keeps Domain Name reference to the device’s Service Tag and its current IP address. Your Keenetic Device will keep transmitting its IP address at regular intervals to KeenDNS server as long as KeenDNS Service is enabled. Outdated IP address are deleted immediately. Keenetic Device will automatically request an SSL certificate issued by the letsencrypt.org certificate authority for selected domain name after the booking. The certificate is renewed automatically at regular intervals. The KeenDNS Service is disabled by default. You can enable it under "Domain name" section by booking a desired domain name. If necessary, KeenDNS Service can be fully removed from your Keenetic Device by uninstalling "Cloud-based remote control and KeenDNS" component under the "General system settings" section.

  • to protect the default management interface of your Keenetic Device with an SSL certificate (referred to as "Automatic SSL Certificate Installation").

After the successful initial connection to the Internet, your Keenetic Device will automatically request a self-assigned domain name with SSL certificate in the *.keenetic.io subdomain via KeenDNS service.

The automatic SSL certificate installation is enabled by default. Upon the successful booking all local requests to the default management address of your Keenetic Device (my.keenetic.net) will be redirected to the self-assigned domain name in the *.keenetic.io subdomain using the secure https link. To cancel the use of self-assigned domain name with SSL certificate remove "Cloud-based remote control and KeenDNS" component under the "General system settings" section of your Keenetic Device.

  • to deliver Keenetic Device support services (such as to (i) enable the context-sensitive display of the embedded online help, (ii) provide remote technical support assistance upon your request) (jointly referred to as "Technical Support").

Your Keenetic Device sends the model number, installed KeeneticOS software version, language, and information on the context of the user interface in which the help was accessed, in order to enable the context-sensitive display of contents appropriate to the product being used. Remote technical support assistance works by means of temporary domain name booking via KeenDNS Service upon user consent.

  • to deliver easy configuration of the third-party services with your Keenetic Device (such as to obtain the up to date lists of Captive Portal and Voice over IP Telephony Providers along with their recommended settings) (referred to as "Third-Party Services Configuration").

For this purpose, only the IP address of your Keenetic is transmitted. No further processing takes place.

Some recipients located outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) are certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and others are located in countries for which the European Commission has issued adequacy decisions. In each case, the transfer is thereby recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection from a European data protection law perspective (Art. 45 GDPR).

By way of entering into appropriate data transfer agreements based on Standard Contractual Clauses (2010/87/EU and/or 2004/915/EC) as referred to in Art. 46(5) GDPR or other adequate means, which are accessible via the contact details above we have established that all other recipients located outside the EEA will provide an adequate level of data protection for the Personal Data and that appropriate technical and organizational security measures are in place to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and against all other unlawful forms of processing.

Your Personal Data is stored by Keenetic and/or our service providers, strictly to the extent necessary for the performance of our obligations and strictly for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which the Personal Data is collected, in accordance with applicable data protection laws. When Keenetic no longer needs to process your Personal Data, we will erase it from our systems and/or records and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that you can no longer be identified from it unless we need to keep your information to comply with legal or regulatory obligations to which Keenetic is subject.

We will retain your contact details and interests in our products or services for a longer period of time if Keenetic is allowed to send you marketing materials. Also, we typically erase contracts, communications, and business letters containing Personal Data, or we redact Personal Data from such documents, 10 years after their termination or creation, as such data may be subject to statutory retention requirements, which often require retention of up to 10 years. In addition, if a judicial or disciplinary action is initiated, the Personal Data will be stored until the end of such action, including any potential periods for appeal, and will then be deleted or archived as permitted by applicable law.

  5. Right to object:

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your Personal Data by us and we can be required to no longer process your Personal Data. If you have a right to object and you exercise this right, your Personal Data will no longer be processed for such purposes by us. Exercising this right will not incur any costs.

Third parties: Keenetic and/or other Keenetic group companies may also transfer your data to governmental agencies and regulators, courts, and government authorities, all in accordance with applicable law based on Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR and to external advisors acting as controllers (e.g., lawyers, accountants, auditors etc.) based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

Service providers (within and outside the Keenetic): Keenetic contracts with third party service providers or other Keenetic group companies as part of its normal business operations to assure high quality support services and maintenance for Mobile App users.

  1. Cross-Border Data Transfers

We transfer your Personal Data outside of the country you are located. Some recipients of your Personal Data are located in another country for which the European Commission has not issued a decision that this country ensures an adequate level of data protection, namely: Hong Kong, or some of the locations of non-European Keenetic group companies.

Some recipients located outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) are certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and others are located in countries for which the European Commission has issued adequacy decisions. In each case, the transfer is thereby recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection from a European data protection law perspective (Art. 45 GDPR).

By way of entering into appropriate data transfer agreements based on Standard Contractual Clauses (2010/87/EU and/or 2004/915/EC) as referred to in Art. 46 (5) GDPR or other adequate means, which are accessible via the contact details above we have established that all other recipients located outside the EEA will provide an adequate level of data protection for the Personal Data and that appropriate technical and organizational security measures are in place to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and against all other unlawful forms of processing. Any onward transfer (including our affiliates outside the EEA) is subject to appropriate onward transfer requirements as required by applicable law.

V. Retention periods for and deletion of your Personal Data

Your Personal Data is stored by Keenetic and/or our service providers, strictly to the extent necessary for the performance of our obligations and strictly for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which the Personal Data is collected, in accordance with applicable data protection laws. When Keenetic no longer needs to process your Personal Data, we will erase it from our systems and/or records and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that you can no longer be identified from it unless we need to keep your information to comply with legal or regulatory obligations to which Keenetic is subject.

We will retain your contact details and interests in our products or services for a longer period of time if Keenetic is allowed to send you marketing materials. Also, we typically erase contracts, communications, and business letters containing Personal Data, or we redact Personal Data from such documents, 10 years after their termination or creation, as such data may be subject to statutory retention requirements, which often require retention of up to 10 years. In addition, if a judicial or disciplinary action is initiated, the Personal Data will be stored until the end of such action, including any potential periods for appeal, and will then be deleted or archived as permitted by applicable law.

VI. Your statutory rights

If you have declared your consent for any personal data processing activities, you can withdraw this consent at any time with future effect. Such a withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the consent withdrawal.

In addition, under the conditions set out under applicable law (i.e., the GDPR), you have the following rights:

  1. Right of access: You have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not Personal Data concerning you is being processed, and, where that is the case, to request access to the Personal Data.

  6. Right to object:

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your Personal Data by us and we can be required to no longer process your Personal Data. If you have a right to object and you exercise this right, your Personal Data will no longer be processed for such purposes by us. Exercising this right will not incur any costs.

Such a right to object may not exist, in particular, if the processing of your Personal Data is necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract or to perform a contract already concluded.
