Ring's privacy framework governs video footage, audio recordings, location data, and device usage information collected through its cameras, doorbells, and app. The most significant practical impact is that video footage and personal data can be disclosed to law enforcement or government agencies in response to legal process, and video content shared through the Neighbors app becomes accessible to a broader community audience. You can adjust video sharing permissions, manage device access, enable end-to-end encryption, and request data deletion through Ring's Control Center in the app.
