When you upload or share content through Wyze (including videos, images, or recordings from your devices), you give Wyze a permanent, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and share that content.
This analysis describes what Wyze'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
The license is described as irrevocable and perpetual, meaning Wyze retains the right to use content you have uploaded even after you delete it or close your account, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable privacy law.
Interpretive note: The practical scope of this license is constrained by applicable privacy law, including CCPA and state surveillance statutes; the license as written is broader than what privacy frameworks may permit in practice, and the interaction between this clause and Wyze's Privacy Policy would require legal review to fully assess.
Video recordings, images, and other content you generate through Wyze devices are subject to a broad, permanent, royalty-free license granted to Wyze, including the right to sublicense that content to third parties; this is particularly significant given that Wyze cameras capture footage of private residential spaces.

"By making available any User Content through the Services, you hereby grant to Wyze a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, adapt, modify, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, access, and otherwise exploit such User Content on, through, or by means of the Services.— Excerpt from Wyze's Wyze Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The breadth of this license as applied to video recordings captured in private residential spaces engages state wiretapping and video surveillance statutes, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), and the CCPA's provisions governing the sale and sharing of personal information. The sublicensing right means content could be transferred to third parties, which may require separate disclosure and, under CCPA, may constitute a sale of personal information triggering opt-out rights. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. A perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license over home video footage is operationally and reputationally significant. The interaction between this license grant and Wyze's Privacy Policy should be carefully mapped to ensure consistency; a broad contractual license does not override applicable privacy law requirements regarding consent and purpose limitation. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have CCPA rights regarding personal information, which may include video footage; if the sublicensing right constitutes a sale under CCPA, users have opt-out rights that the broad license language does not eliminate. Illinois BIPA may be relevant if facial geometry is derived from video content. EU users would have GDPR rights that likely supersede the perpetual license grant for personal data processing purposes. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprises deploying Wyze devices in employee or tenant spaces should assess whether this license grant is disclosed to individuals captured in recordings, as failure to disclose may create independent liability under applicable surveillance and privacy laws. The sublicensing right means content may flow to Wyze's partners or service providers, which should be evaluated in vendor due diligence assessments. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should reconcile this license grant with the Wyze Privacy Policy to determine whether the perpetual and sublicensable rights are operationally implemented or are primarily protective contractual language. Data minimization and purpose limitation requirements under applicable privacy frameworks (CCPA, state privacy laws) should be assessed against the scope of rights this license purports to grant.
