Information We Collect from Registered Devices. 
Some of our iBots are equipped with smart technology which allows the iBots to transmit data wirelessly to the Service. For example, the iBot could collect and transmit information about the iBot’s function and use statistics, such as battery life and health, number of missions, the device identifier, and location mapping. When you register your iBot with the online App, the App will collect and maintain information about the iBot and/or App usage, feature usage, in-App transactions, technical specifications, crashes, and other information about how you use your iBot and the product App. We also collect information provided during set-up.
We use this information to collect and analyze statistics and usage data, diagnose and fix technology problems, enhance device performance, and improve user experience. We may use this information to provide you personalized communications, including marketing and promotional messages, such as emails providing product order information when your device indicates a battery is low. Our iBots do not transmit this information unless you register your device online and connect to WiFi, Bluetooth, or connect to the internet via another method. It is possible to use our smart technology IBots without WiFi or Bluetooth data transmission, simply by disconnecting your WiFi or Bluetooth from the device or by never connecting it at all.
