Overview of our services
Arrayent is an Internet of Things (IoT) technology provider to manufacturers, resellers and retailers (Clients) of commercial and consumer products. Our technology and services are used by Clients to connect their products to the internet so that they and their customer users can monitor and control these products remotely, either directly through mobile or web based apps or in sync with other connected products from other connected product suppliers. We provide the communications technology that is embedded in each connected product and we also run the cloud based services that collect, hold and manage data from the connected product and the user and communicate between the connected product, the user and the Client.
The information we receive
In order to provide our services, we may receive data about users from different sources. From the user based app, we may receive registration data such as your name, email address, age, IP address and home address. Usage of the mobile app may provide data about your usage patterns regarding the connected product. Data from the connected product may include its service history, usage patterns and current state of operation, i.e. on or off, open or closed, full or empty, etc.
Arrayent collects this information under the direction of our Clients, and we have no direct relationship with the individuals whose personal data we process. If you are a customer of one of our Clients and would no longer like to be contacted by the Client that uses our service, please contact that Client directly.
From our website (arrayent.com), we may ask you to provide additional information that helps us enhance your site visit, assist you with technical support issues, or permit post-visit follow-up. For example, if you send us a support request e-mail, we receive your e-mail address, and any other information you provide, such as your name, telephone number, etc.
We may receive information about you from other sources, including publicly available databases or third parties from whom we have purchased data, and combine this data with information we already have about you such as IP address. This helps us to update, expand and analyze our records, identify new customers, and provide products and services that may be of interest to you.
Examples of the types of personal information that may be obtained from public sources or purchased from third parties and combined with information we already have about you, may include zip code or similar so that we can provide to our customers an indication of the geographical concentration of connected devices.
How the information is used
We use the information we receive through our services to provide connectivity, control and feedback to the connected product, the user and to the Client. For example, we may provide user registration data to help the Client keep track of its users and to understand better the demographics of its user population. We may also provide connected product use information to the Client such as usage history, features used, maintenance status and remaining useful life information that the Client could use to monitor the connected product and suggest maintenance, replacement or refill activities to the user. Finally, we may provide connected product state information to the user through their mobile or desktop app to allow them to control the connected product remotely. If the user, elects to connect to their connected product through a third party, we will also provide data to that third party.
