Please note that when you log in through your Facebook social media account via Android, you enable Facebook to collect the following information through the Facebook SDK:
- App Events: This covers generic App Events (e.g. App Install, app launch) and other standard logging for product metrics (e.g. SDK loading and SDK performance).
- Configuration data: After a user has logged in, the SDK makes periodic background requests to manage the lifetime of the access token automatically.
- Error information: The SDK captures error information, including during initialization of the SDK, which may include a user ID of individuals who are logged in to Facebook.
- Short-term data: The SDK measures some user activity for purposes of managing fraud and abuse. This data is only retained for a very short period for those not logged in to Facebook.
Facebook may also collect analytics data on your use of the SDK, information about the name of the App you are using, the date when you authorized the login, and any URL associated with your login. You can find out more about how Facebook uses your information by reading Facebook's Data Policy. Please note that the Facebook login functionality is completely optional, we will always allow you to login using your MyPhilips account.
Amazon Dash Replenishment Services
In some countries, we support our BrushSync Reorder services (“BrushSync”). When you subscribe to BrushSync, the App will place automatic brush head orders for you via Amazon’s Dash Replenishment Service (“DRS”). For such purposes, you will have to log in to your Amazon Account, and Amazon will provide its own services to you. Please read Amazon’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Notice as they inform about its privacy practices, including, what type of personal data it collects, and how it uses, processes and protects them.
When you set-up your BrushSync subscription, we share the following data with Amazon: the serial number of your Device, the model (hx number) of your Device, and when it is time to order a new brush head (“BrushSync Data”). To keep track of your subscription, we store your Amazon Customer ID. If you unsubscribe to BrushSync, we will delete such Customer ID. You can at any time (i) pause or change orders using the Reorder Settings in the My Brush Head Page of the App; and/or (ii) cancel any order via Amazon.
You understand that Amazon provides its own voice services to you and by activating BrushSync, you instruct us to share your BrushSync Data with Amazon, which may process the same in countries outside of your country of residence which may not provide adequate protection to personal data.
Cross-border Transfer
Your personal data may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by using the Services you acknowledge the transfer (if any) of information to countries outside of your country of residence, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your personal data.
If you are located in the EEA, your personal data may be transferred to our affiliates or service providers in non-EEA countries that are recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection according to EEA standards (the full list of these countries is available here (https://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.htm). For transfers from the EEA to countries not considered adequate by the European Commission, such as the United States, we have put in place adequate measures, such as our Binding Corporate Rules for Customer, Supplier and Business Partner Data and/or standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission to protect your personal data.
