Initiatives on the Use of Video Products
Thank you for choosing Hikvision products.
Technology affects every aspect of our life. As a high-tech company, we are increasingly
aware of the role technology plays in improving business efficiency and quality of life,
but at the same time, the potential harm of its improper usage. For example, video
products are capable of recording real, complete and clear images. This provides a high
value in retrospect and preserving real-time facts. However, it may also result in the
infringement of a third party's legitimate rights and interests if improper distribution,
use and/or processing of video data takes place. With the philosophy of "Technology
for the Good", Hikvision requests that every end user of video technology and video
products shall comply with all the applicable laws and regulations, as well as ethical
customs, aiming to jointly create a better community.
Please read the following initiatives carefully:
● Everyone has a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the installation of video
products should not be in conflict with this reasonable expectation. Therefore, a
warning notice shall be given in a reasonable and effective manner and clarify the
monitoring range, when installing video products in public areas. For non-public
areas, a third party's rights and interests shall be evaluated when installing video
products, including but not limited to, installing video products only after
obtaining the consent of the stakeholders, and not installing highly-invisible video
products.
● The purpose of video products is to record real activities within a specific time and
space and under specific conditions. Therefore, every user shall first reasonably
define his/her own rights in such specific scope, in order to avoid infringing on a
third party's portraits, privacy or other legitimate rights.
● During the use of video products, video image data derived from real scenes will
continue to be generated, including a large amount of biological data (such as
facial images), and the data could be further applied or reprocessed. Video
products themselves could not distinguish good from bad regarding how to use
the data based solely on the images captured by the video products. The result of
data usage depends on the method and purpose of use of the data controllers.
Therefore, data controllers shall not only comply with all the applicable laws and
regulations and other normative requirements, but also respect international
norms, social morality, good morals, common practices and other non-mandatory
requirements, and respect individual privacy, portrait and other rights and
interests.
● The rights, values and other demands of various stakeholders should always be
considered when processing video data that is continuously generated by video
products. In this regard, product security and data security are extremely crucial.
