This Privacy Statement does not apply to EPSON’s data collection activities outside of the Service (unless otherwise stated below or at the time of collection).

You agree to the EPSON Projection Studio application’s End User License Agreement (“EULA”), and in doing so, you consent to EPSON’s collection, use and disclosure practices, and other activities as described in such applicable documentation and this Privacy Statement. If you do not agree and consent, discontinue use of the Service and/or software, as applicable.

This Privacy Statement is intended to apply to the collection and processing of personal information from customers and individuals in the United States. It does not apply to websites managed or operated by other Epson entities or websites in other countries operated by other Epson entities, including in the European Union. If Epson receives and becomes aware of any personal information of a customer or individual in the European Union, such information will not be processed or retained by Epson America, Inc.

When personal information is collected and processed from customers and individual’s resident in the European Union and European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, the EU GDPR and UK GDPR shall apply, as shall Chapter 12 of this Privacy Statement onwards.

2. INFORMATION COLLECTION

A. Information You Provide to Us.

EPSON collects information you provide directly to EPSON via the Service. For example, EPSON collects information when you use the Service, create an account (including all information submitted as part of your registration), subscribe to EPSON notifications, engage with or communicate with EPSON through the Service.

The information EPSON collects may include Personal Information. "Personal Information" is information that can be used to identify an individual (whether alone or in combination), such as first and last name and email address.

You may choose to voluntarily submit certain other information to EPSON through the Service, including Personal Information, but you are solely responsible for such Personal Information in instances where EPSON has not collected such information or requested that you submit such information to EPSON.

Personal Information once aggregated or de-identified cannot identify you and therefore will not be subject to this Privacy Statement. EPSON and its Service Providers (defined below) may treat aggregated or de-identified information as non-Personal Information and use it without obligation to you except as prohibited by applicable law.

B. Information EPSON Collects Automatically.

EPSON may automatically collect certain information about you when you access or use the Service ("Usage Information"). Usage Information may include your IP address, device identifier, Ad ID, browser type; operating system characteristics, data regarding network connected hardware (e.g., computer or mobile device), and information about your use of the Service, such as the time and duration of your visit and how you arrived at the Service. Except to the extent required by applicable law, EPSON does not consider Usage Information to be Personal Information. However, Usage Information may be combined with your Personal Information. To the extent that EPSON combines Usage Information with your Personal Information, EPSON will treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Privacy Statement. EPSON’s Service Providers may also collect Personal Information as explained in this Privacy Statement.

The methods that EPSON and its Service Providers may use to collect Usage Information for service providers, includes:

• Data Collection Agent: EPSON collects certain projector information through the Data Collection Agent (“DCA”). The DCA must be downloaded to a PC that is connected to the same network as the EPSON projector for device monitoring. Use of the DCA is subject to the license terms in the End User License Agreement that accompanies the DCA. The DCA will detect the projection start of  your EPSON projector, among other information about use of your EPSON projector such as light-up time, replacement date of your projector’s lamp/laser and fan, serial numbers and other Epson product information, and/or data regarding machine performance such as device settings, device alerts, error history, and will send that information to the Service through your internet connection. You are fully responsible for maintaining your internet connection in order for the DCA to continue collecting this information. This information will be used by technicians for device troubleshooting; and by administrators for usage, and by business personnel for research and development of service and product enhancement.
• Log Information: EPSON collects information about your use of the Service, such as IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamps, and related data, and store it in log files.
• Information Collected During a Login Session: EPSON may use session ID which make it easier for you to navigate the Service and expire when you close your browser. The Service uses “local storage” and “session storage” to keep user interface related information such as language, number of items to be displayed on a page, and account information such as login user, available functions, viewable range for a consistent browser experience.
• Cookies. Cookies are small text files placed on users’ devices to store data that can be recalled by a web server in the domain that placed the cookie. We use cookies and similar technologies for storing and honoring your preferences and settings, enabling you to sign in, providing interest-based advertising, combating fraud, analyzing how our products and services perform, and fulfilling other legitimate purposes. You have a variety of tools to control the data collected by cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies.

C. Information From Other Sources.

EPSON may also obtain information about you from other sources and combine that with information EPSON collects about you. To the extent EPSON combines such third party sourced information with Personal Information EPSON collects directly from you on the Service, EPSON will treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Privacy Statement. EPSON is not responsible for the accuracy of the information provided by third parties or third party practices.

3. USE OF INFORMATION AND PURPOSE
