1. Information kept on your device
Camera processing, voice recognition, demonstration recording, and model training run on your computer. These features do not automatically upload camera images, audio, transcripts, classroom files, datasets, or models to Hirobot or its analytics provider. Face detection finds the position of a face; it does not identify who the person is.
Voice-command audio and transcripts are not saved as recordings. Recording a demonstration does save video, robot movements, and task information on your computer for review and training. Saved projects, settings, datasets, and models also remain on your computer. The app does not provide cloud backup.
2. Information we collect and use
The website and HIARM-TWIN-01 do not require an account. The website uses no advertising or visitor-analytics trackers. We handle the following information when you browse or contact us.
| When | Information and purpose |
|---|---|
| Website visits | IP address, browser or device information, requested pages or files, and request times: content delivery, security, and troubleshooting by the hosting provider. |
| Browser settings | Language preferences and temporary navigation information: remembering your language and navigation state on your device. |
| Support inquiries | Email address and message, plus any name, organization, or attachments you provide: answering inquiries, investigating issues, following up, and handling related disputes. |
Necessary contract-related inquiries are handled under Article 15 (1) 4 of the Personal Information Protection Act. Other inquiry, security, and claims processing relies on an applicable legal obligation or a legitimate interest under Article 15 (1) 6 only when it directly relates to the processing, stays within a reasonable scope, and clearly outweighs the data subject’s rights. We obtain separate consent when required.
Exporting a support file does not send it to us. Send only relevant information you have permission to share, leaving out unrelated student details, passwords, sensitive information, and confidential material. We may be unable to resolve an inquiry without the information needed to investigate it.
3. App usage and diagnostic information
Analytics-enabled releases automatically send limited events during app use to help operate, secure, diagnose, and improve HIARM-TWIN-01. We do not use these events for advertising or to track activity across other apps or services.
Events contain feature-use actions, bounded error and crash categories, app version and build, operating system and architecture, session identifiers, persistent random installation identifiers, and timestamps. The provider also receives the source IP address and may derive approximate location. Although this data is not linked to a Hirobot account, it is not anonymous.
Events do not include images, audio, transcripts, classroom materials, datasets, model contents, raw logs, file paths, or detailed robot-motion data. Contractual necessity applies only where the processing is needed to provide the app; legitimate interests must meet section 2’s requirements. Separate consent is obtained where required. Acceptance of the Terms alone is not consent to analytics or overseas processing.
5. Retention and deletion
We keep information for its stated purpose and retention period. The following rules apply to information handled through the website, app, and support.
| Information | Retention rule |
|---|---|
| Language and navigation settings | Language preferences remain until changed or cleared. Temporary navigation information is removed after use or when the tab closes. |
| Support correspondence | Up to three years after resolution, where needed for follow-up, contractual records, or related disputes. |
| Usage and diagnostic events | Only while needed for app operation, security, troubleshooting, and improvement. |
| Hosting security logs | For the provider’s operational security period or a period required by law. Hirobot does not use these logs for behavioral analytics. |
| Local projects and backups | Managed by you or your institution. Uninstalling the app may leave saved files and does not remove copies already shared. |
When information is no longer needed or its retention period ends, we delete it without undue delay. Electronic records are deleted using methods intended to prevent recovery; paper records are securely destroyed. If another law requires preservation, the records are separated from ordinary use and limited to that legal purpose and period.
6. Children and classroom information
HIARM-TWIN-01 does not require student accounts. Schools and other operating organizations decide how classroom materials are recorded, used, shared, protected, and retained. They must provide the required notices and obtain necessary permissions, including verified parent or legal guardian consent for children under 14 where South Korean law requires consent.
We do not create advertising profiles using student information. A parent, guardian, or school may contact us about information a child sent to Hirobot. We delete information collected without required authorization unless the law requires it to be kept. For files held only by a school, contact the school; we cannot access those copies.
7. Your rights and how to exercise them
You may request access, a copy, correction, deletion, restriction or suspension of processing, objection, or portability where applicable. You may also withdraw consent to processing based on consent. Send requests to contact@hirobot.com yourself or through an authorized representative.
We may ask for the minimum information needed to verify a request and, for analytics, the installation identifier needed to locate events. We respond within legal deadlines. If the law permits a restriction, including to protect others’ rights or confidential information, we explain the reason and available complaint options. Requests for files held only on your device or by your school should go to their holder.
You can clear browser storage, change camera or microphone permissions, skip optional downloads, and choose whether to share a support file. Device permissions affect the related features, not product analytics. You may also contact the privacy authority in your jurisdiction, including South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission.
8. Privacy inquiries
Controller: Hirobot Co., Ltd. Responsible department: Hirobot Privacy Desk Email: contact@hirobot.com
Contact the Privacy Desk for requests, questions, or complaints about personal information. South Korea’s privacy counseling service is also available at 118.
9. Safeguards and policy updates
We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the information handled. No system guarantees complete security.
We publish the effective date and material changes with each policy update, and provide additional notice or obtain consent where required. The September 7, 2026 update reorganizes the existing disclosures into shorter sections and tables. It does not add categories of information collected.
