Summary

This document explains what SimpliSafe collects from you—including audio and video from your security cameras, customer-service call recordings, and browsing behavior—and how it may be shared with advertising partners such as Facebook and Google, strategic third parties, and potentially a future business acquirer. SimpliSafe keeps camera recordings for 30 days on its own systems even if you delete them from your account. You have the right to opt out of the selling or sharing of your Personal Information by submitting a designated form.

Analysis

This Privacy Policy establishes SimpliSafe's collection, retention, sharing, and automated-processing practices for Personal Information, including audio and video recordings from camera-enabled security devices. SimpliSafe retains camera recordings for 30 days from initial capture during an active subscription, and user-initiated deletion from an account timeline does not remove SimpliSafe's own copy of those recordings. The policy conditions partner-product data exchanges and automated profiling with legal or significant consequences on user consent, with consent revocable at any time. In the event of a business transfer involving all or substantially all of SimpliSafe's assets, Personal Information may be transferred to a new owner subject to the applicable privacy policy unless law directs otherwise. Where SimpliSafe's own policy conflicts with applicable Data Privacy Framework Principles, those DPF Principles govern.

What this means for you

SimpliSafe collects audio and video from security cameras and stores those recordings on its systems for 30 days from initial capture; deleting or downloading a recording from your account timeline does not remove SimpliSafe's retained copy. Your browsing and shopping information may be shared with strategic partners and advertising platforms including Facebook and Google based on SimpliSafe's own assessment. SimpliSafe requires your consent before any partner-product data exchange or control request, and you can revoke that consent at any time. To stop SimpliSafe from selling or sharing your Personal Information, you can submit the designated opt-out form SimpliSafe provides.
