The policy discloses that Boston Dynamics collects sensor data including images and acoustic data, product identifying information, and performance and fault data from deployed robotic products such as Spot and Stretch, with full data practices for those products addressed in separately linked product-specific privacy notices.
This analysis describes what Boston Dynamics's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This provision establishes that data collection from deployed robotic systems extends to images and acoustic data, categories that may capture individuals in operational environments; the full scope of collection, processing, and retention for these data types is not contained within this general policy but is deferred to separate product-specific notices that must be reviewed independently.
Interpretive note: The full scope of sensor data collection, retention, and sharing practices is deferred to separately linked product-specific notices not reproduced in this document, limiting complete assessment of this provision.
This provision establishes that individuals present in environments where Spot or Stretch robots operate may have images or acoustic data collected as part of service and performance logging. The agreement directs users to separate product-specific privacy notices for the full scope of these data practices.
