Plain-English summary
The privacy policy outlines that Wyze processes and stores information in the U.S. and other countries, which may not offer equivalent data protection levels, potentially impacting users (risk_flags-1).

Additionally, Wyze collects non-personal information from videos for service suggestions (data_use-3).
