Benefits For You

Your Privacy Is Our Priority

To operate a smart home, collecting certain data is unavoidable — collecting and utilizing this data is precisely what makes the home “smart.” For example, collecting a device's IP address or identification number allows smart devices to communicate with one another and bring convenience to your life.

Storing collected data securely and using it solely for proper purposes is the highest priority for Control4. We adhere to strict and proactive standards regarding data privacy because we believe trust must be earned. We respect your privacy and advocate that your data must be processed with integrity and trust. Therefore, Control4 continuously reviews and enhances its security and privacy practices to ensure your data is protected and handled correctly.

Your Information And Rights

Collected data is used to deliver the core functions of your Control4 system, troubleshoot issues with your system or account, send notifications and relevant technical communications, and enhance product functionality. Detailed specifics on what information we collect are outlined in our privacy policy.

Control4 does not sell or rent your personal information to third-party companies. However, some of your personal information may be shared with partners who assist us in selling, delivering, and installing our products and services. For example:

  • Processing credit card payments

  • Order fulfillment
  • Managing or hosting customer data
  • Evaluating satisfaction and interest levels regarding our products and services

These partners are required to adhere to the same principles and agreements defined in our privacy policy, and Control4 demands assurances that they provide adequate data protection.

To offer our products and services worldwide, we utilize a network of independent, highly qualified professionals to sell, install, and service your systems. Smart home professionals working with Control4 are subject to rigorous standards, certification, and experience requirements to become authorized Control4 Dealers. Upon your request, Control4 can assist you in finding authorized dealers near you and share the information you provide with these candidates—the decision is always yours.
