Summary

This is Boston Dynamics' privacy policy covering how the company collects and handles personal information across its website, customer accounts, employment inquiries, and deployed robotic products including Spot and Stretch. The policy discloses collection of sensor data including images and acoustic data from deployed robots, with detailed practices for those products addressed in separate linked product-specific privacy notices. Boston Dynamics states it does not sell personal information or share it with third parties for marketing purposes, and provides an opt-out from promotional communications via privacy@bostondynamics.com or unsubscribe links.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Boston Dynamics' general privacy policy, last updated March 20, 2025, governing the collection, storage, use, and sharing of personal and non-personal information in connection with its products, services, and website under applicable data protection and privacy laws. The policy states that Boston Dynamics collects account information, payment information, internet activity data, education and experience information, and service and performance logs including images and acoustic data from products such as the Spot and Stretch robots, and uses this information to provide services, comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, and market products. A notable operational feature is the collection of sensor data including images and acoustic data from deployed robotic products, which the policy addresses through separate product-specific privacy notices for Spot and Stretch rather than fully detailing collection scope within this general policy, creating a layered disclosure structure that requires review of linked subsidiary documents for complete data practice assessment. The policy engages GDPR for EEA-located individuals, CCPA for California residents, and general cross-border transfer obligations, with jurisdiction-specific rights addressed through a separate California-resident policy linked externally and a dedicated EEA section within this document; compliance exposure depends on whether Boston Dynamics' data practices under its robotic product deployments satisfy applicable sectoral and territorial requirements, particularly regarding sensor-derived data collected in industrial and commercial environments.
