Privacy Policy

Your family's quiet moments are precious — this policy explains, plainly, what we collect, how we use it and how we keep the live video and audio from your nursery private.

Last updated: June 2026

This policy is provided in English. For help understanding it in your language, please contact elarbaby@elarbaby.com.

1. Who we are

Elarbaby is a brand of Shenzhen Yiji Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (深圳市蚁集数码科技有限公司) ("Elarbaby", "we", "us" or "our"). We design gentle, secure baby monitors and the companion software that goes with them. We are the controller responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

If you have any question about your privacy, or wish to exercise any of the rights described below, you can reach us at any time:

  • By email: elarbaby@elarbaby.com
  • By post: Room 403, No. 67 Longyuan Road, Nanlian Community, Longgang Street, Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China 518172

2. Scope of this policy

This policy applies to:

  • our website at elarbaby.com;
  • our baby monitors — including the Elarbaby View, the Elarbaby Cosy and the Elarbaby Duo; and
  • the Elarbaby companion app for iOS and Android.

It does not cover third-party products or websites that may link to ours, or any separately branded products we manufacture for other companies under our customization service, which are governed by their own brand's privacy policy.

3. Information we collect

We try to collect only what we genuinely need to keep watch over your little one and to keep your account safe.

Account information

When you create an Elarbaby account we collect your name (or chosen display name), your email address, and a password. Your password is never stored in plain text — we keep only a salted, hashed version that even we cannot reverse.

Device and connection information

To pair, connect and maintain your monitor we process technical details such as the monitor model and serial number, firmware and app version, your device's IP address, network and signal information, time zone, and a push-notification token used to deliver alerts to your phone.

Video and audio from your monitor

The most sensitive information we handle is the live video and audio from inside your nursery. This may be streamed live to your authorised devices, and — only if you choose to enable it — recorded as clips. We treat this footage as private to your account.

Nursery environment readings

Where your monitor supports it, we process the room temperature and humidity readings it measures, so the app can show the nursery climate and send a gentle alert if the room becomes too warm, cold or dry.

Support messages

When you contact us for help, we keep the messages, attachments and contact details you send so that we can answer you and improve our products.

Website information

Our website collects very little. Your language preference is stored locally in your own browser so the site remembers it — it is not sent to us as personal data. We use minimal, aggregated analytics to understand which pages are helpful.

4. How we use your information

We use the information above to:

  • provide live viewing, two-way talk, lullabies and gentle alerts from your monitor;
  • sync your monitor and settings across the family members you have invited;
  • deliver push notifications such as cry, motion and environment alerts;
  • maintain, troubleshoot and improve the reliability and safety of our products;
  • respond to your support requests and send important service messages; and
  • meet our legal, accounting and regulatory obligations.

We do not use your nursery video or audio to build advertising profiles, and we never use it to train models without your explicit, separate consent.

5. Video, audio and encryption

Live streams between your monitor, our services and your authorised devices are encrypted in transit. You decide who can access your monitor — only the family members you invite, who must each sign in to your shared account, can view it.

The Elarbaby Cosy is different by design: it uses a private 2.4GHz FHSS point-to-point link between the camera and its parent unit, with no internet connection and no cloud account, so its video and audio never leave your home.

For our WiFi monitors, recordings live on the microSD card inside your monitor and/or, only if you choose to enable it, in optional encrypted cloud storage tied to your account. We never sell your footage, and we never share it for advertising.

6. Storage, retention and your control

You remain in control of your recordings. From the app you can delete individual clips, clear stored footage, or delete your entire account along with the data associated with it.

  • Local recordings on a microSD card stay on that card until it fills and overwrites the oldest footage, or until you erase them — they are under your direct physical control.
  • Optional cloud recordings are kept only for the retention window of the plan you choose, after which they are automatically and permanently deleted.
  • Account data is retained while your account is active. When you delete your account we remove your personal data within a reasonable period, except where we must keep limited records to meet a legal obligation.

7. How we share information

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only in these limited ways:

  • Service providers who work on our behalf under contract — for example cloud hosting, push-notification delivery and analytics — and who may only process data on our instructions;
  • Legal disclosure where we are genuinely required to do so by applicable law, a court order or a valid request from a public authority; and
  • Business transfers, in the unlikely event of a merger or acquisition, in which case we will notify you and this policy will continue to protect your data.

8. Children's privacy

Elarbaby is operated by adult caregivers to watch over their own infants. Accounts are intended only for adults aged 18 or over, and we do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children. A baby pictured in your nursery is not the account holder — the footage and all rights to it belong to you, the adult who owns the account, and you choose who may see it.

If you believe a child has created an account or provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. International transfers

We operate globally, so your information may be processed and stored in the regions where our services run, which may be outside the country where you live. Wherever your data goes, we apply appropriate safeguards and contractual protections so that it continues to be protected to the standard described in this policy.

10. How we keep your information safe

We protect your data with encryption in transit, strict access controls, and secure development and review practices. No system can ever be guaranteed perfectly secure, so you play an important part too:

  • choose a strong, unique password and never share it;
  • only invite people you trust to your monitor; and
  • keep your monitor's firmware and the Elarbaby app updated to the latest version.

11. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to export a copy, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent you have given.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at elarbaby@elarbaby.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law and may ask you to confirm your identity first to keep your account safe.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time as our products and the law evolve. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the "Last updated" date above. If the changes are significant, we will give you a clearer notice, for example in the app.
