We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy sets out the principles on which Xiaomi Cloud operates, and constitutes an important part of Xiaomi Privacy Policy. In the event of inconsistency between this Privacy Policy and Xiaomi Privacy Policy with respect to Xiaomi Cloud, the former shall prevail. For the terms and conditions not stipulated in this Privacy Policy, Xiaomi Privacy Policy shall prevail. Terms and conditions regarding the protection of minors, security measures, and cross-border data transmission can be found in the Xiaomi Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy is designed with your needs in mind, and it is important that you have a comprehensive understanding of our personal information collection and usage practices, while ensuring that ultimately, you have control of your personal information provided to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, process, and store any information that you give us when you use Xiaomi Cloud. Under this Privacy Policy, "personal information" means information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify an individual, either from that information alone or from that information combined with other information about that individual available to Xiaomi. We will use your personal information strictly following this Privacy Policy.
Ultimately, what we want is the best for all our users. Should you have any questions about our data handling practices as summarized in this Privacy Policy, please contact us via to address your specific concerns.
The purpose of collecting personal information is to provide you with products and/or services, and to ensure that we comply with applicable laws, regulations, and other regulatory requirements. You have the right to choose whether or not to provide the information we have requested, but in most cases, if you do not provide your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with our services. The related features include:
Xiaomi Cloud is a data storage service platform that provides users with cloud storage space and related services. With Xiaomi Cloud, you can sync your messages, contacts, notes, Browser settings, songs, photos and videos, Wi-Fi settings, recordings, Home screen layout, apps, calendar events, Blocklist items, and App vault across all connected devices. You must grant the related permissions to use each synchronization service. Likewise, you can turn each service off at any time. To provide these services, we need to collect the following information:
SMS data stored on your device (including SMS content, your phone number, the phone numbers of people you contact, SMS sending time, sending status, pinned conversations, and numbers of private SMS);
Blocklist and exceptions for incoming calls and SMS (including numbers on your Blocklist or exceptions, types and states of these numbers, Blocklist version number, spam keywords and statuses, DND mode VIP list, and call history);
Note: If you turn on SMS or call history synchronization services, we will obtain your mobile phone number through the activation of your SIM card. To provide this service, we will collect the IMSI, ICCID, and Line1 Number of your SIM card. When you turn on synchronization services, we will also collect your device IMEI (or device OAID when using Android Q) in order to verify your identity.
When you turn on synchronization services for Music, Gallery, Recorder, App vault, and Blocklist, you must agree to their individual privacy policies. Please ensure that you have carefully read and fully understood these policies, just as you have read this Privacy Policy.
Please rest assured that we will prohibit any of our employees or any third party from directly accessing the content of your personal information without your consent. For the security of your personal information, we will make sure all Xiaomi employees are informed of our rules on privacy and security, and strictly implement internal privacy protection measures.
We will take all applicable measures to ensure the security of your data stored in the cloud. We use off-site storage, maintaining a distance of at least 60 km between storage centers. We also ensure multiple backups, including primary-secondary mutual backups and offline backups. We also periodically check data consistency. Additionally, your personal data (such as Wi-Fi password) will be stored in the Xiaomi Cloud server only after being encrypted. We also take role-based data access control measures to prevent any unauthorized access.
You can manage your data stored in the cloud by signing in to i.mi.com or using the desktop client. Each time any of the above data changes (for example, you receive a new SMS), we will encrypt the data and send it to the server, where it will be further encrypted. Similarly, when data on the server changes (for example, you edit your call history through i.mi.com or the desktop client), your mobile terminal devices will receive a push message as well as the changed data from the server. This synchronization will be encrypted.
To check the details of your cloud storage usage, organize your data, or select a different cloud storage plan, you can sign in to i.mi.com, use the desktop client, or go to Settings > Xiaomi Account > Xiaomi Cloud on your mobile device.
To provide these services, we will collect the total storage space size, size of permanent space, size of used and remaining space, types of stored data, and statistical information on newly added data.
Find device helps you to locate, lock, or erase the data from your mobile device remotely in the event that it is lost or stolen. You may do so by using any device that has access to the internet or by signing in to i.mi.com on your computer.
To provide this service, we will collect your current phone number so that we can send SMS instructions to your mobile phone if it is misplaced, lost, or stolen. To ensure that you can use this feature, we will automatically access the internet to activate your SIM card when you change or get a new one.
When you use the location feature through i.mi.com or the desktop client to locate your mobile device, the device will send its current location information to Xiaomi servers through the internet or SMS. To provide this service, we will collect information on the primary and nearby base station, nearby Wi-Fi hotspot information, GPS information (longitude and latitude used for precise positioning), and device identifier (IMEI/OAID/MAC address used to distinguish between located devices). Whether or not GPS positioning and Wi-Fi are turned on on your device, these features will be automatically activated upon receipt of the SMS instructions sent by Find device.
To improve your experience using Xiaomi Cloud, we may collect and use your personal information for the following additional features to work. If you do not provide this personal information, you can still use Xiaomi Cloud, but you may not be able to use some additional features. The additional features include:
You can use the Memories feature in the Gallery app to generate story cards using photos from your albums. This feature is provided through the use of AI algorithms and the location information of the photos. To provide this service, we will collect the title, cover, and ID number of each Memories album and location information of photos so that you can display the Memories album instantly when you sign in again or use a different phone. You can turn this feature off in Gallery settings at any time.
To help you better find and manage your photos, you may opt to allow Xiaomi Cloud to identify objects in your photos. We will categorize people, places (geographical location information in the photos may be used), and objects in your photos using AI algorithms. Our algorithms will not process your photos directly but will convert your photos into information readable by a computer, such as shape and color value, thus detecting similar features and grouping them into one. You may turn this feature off in the Settings at any time.
To share text to the clipboard of another Xiaomi device, click "Send to device" in the lower right corner of i.mi.com or the desktop client. The latest system version is required on the recipient device to be able to use this feature. Using the recipient device, you can directly paste the text without entering it again manually. To provide this service, we need to collect the text copied to your clipboard. If you choose not to provide this information, you won't be able to use share copied text between devices, but you can still use other Xiaomi Cloud features and services.
You may purchase value-added services of Xiaomi Cloud, such as a Xiaomi Cloud membership and cloud storage cards. To provide these services, we will collect your current membership plan and period of validity, order information (type of purchased membership, purchase quantity, order amount, payment method, order number, and Xiaomi Account ID of the person who received the cloud storage card), and automatic renewal information (status, renewal amount, renewal date, and payment method).
Xiaomi Cloud services will hold some marketing events and promotions from time to time, such as raffles or online questionnaires. You are free to choose whether or not to participate. If you do so, you shall be regarded as having agreed to our collection of the information you voluntarily offer us, including but not limited to your name, mailing address, and contact number.
Shared albums allow you to share photos and videos with friends and family via the cloud. Videos can only be shared by creating shared albums in the Gallery app. You can create shared albums in Gallery to share with others. If you share an album with your family, the photos will be displayed on your Mi Home devices. For this purpose, we need to collect you and your family members' Xiaomi Account information (including Xiaomi Account ID, profile photo, and nickname), and the device ID, model, icon, and name of your Mi Home devices. If you choose to share an album with others, we will collect the Xiaomi Account ID, profile photo, and nickname of you and the people with whom you share the album. The creator of the album can stop sharing it with others at any time. People sharing another person's album can also choose to stop sharing it and give up access at any time.
