Shelly uses the information we collect to operate and improve Shelly as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may use your sleep information to provide you with “big data” statistics and key data points such as average sleep time in certain countries. At this point the data will be aggregated and de-identified from any personal data.  

IMPROVE, PERSONALIZE, AND DEVELOP THE SERVICES

In addition, in order to analyze and improve our services, we sometimes use third party providers to analyze and gain insight. The insights we look at are generally how Shelly is used, in order to help us improve.

We may disclose such information publicly and to third parties, for example, in public reports about sleep and activity, to partners under agreement with us, or as part of the community benchmarking information we provide to users of our subscription services.

Only information needed to perform these specific actions will be shared with third-party services, nothing more. We will never share more information than necessary.
