Data Act (EU) 2023/2854 Applies to the camera as a "connected product" (Chapter II disclosure and access duties); undetermined whether Scout Cloud is itself a Chapter VI "data processing service" subject to switching duties Camera obtains, generates and communicates data about its use and environment (Art. 2(5) Data Act); Scout Cloud's classification as a Data Act data-processing service is not addressed by the facts given Applies (Chapter II); undetermined (Chapter VI) -- see open-points.md OP-16

California: CCPA/CPRA Undetermined The client's figure of ~140,000 California-registered units over two years is a unit/registration count, not a count of consumers or households whose personal information is bought, sold or shared, which is what the statute's volume limb measures (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.140(d)(1)(B)); the drafts themselves state the diagnostic data is not sold. Whether the CCPA applies instead depends on the unanswered revenue limb (§ 1798.140(d)(1)(A)) and on whether Fernlook in fact sells or shares any personal information Undetermined -- see open-points.md OP-1; module drafted in full and ready to use once the answer is confirmed, not drafted as a settled conclusion

Copy transferred vs. hosted access Met App is a transferred copy installed on the user's device, not hosted access
Employee/contractor-created software ownership (Germany) Open point Not addressed; Fernlook's own employment/contractor agreements are outside the scope of documents requested -- flag for counsel
Goods/digital content/digital service sorted Met Camera = goods with digital elements; App = digital content; Scout Cloud = digital service (see applicability table)
Firmware as digital element of goods Met EULA §§ 5-6 state firmware is covered by the sales contract conformity duty, not a separate digital-content contract

Subscription auto-renewal checklist (references/checklists/subscription-auto-renewal.md)

Item Status Clause/requirement meeting it or reason not applicable
Business not in CA/NY exempt categories Open point Not confirmed; Fernlook is a consumer electronics/software company, unlikely to be exempt, but not formally checked against the six/five exempt categories -- flag for counsel to confirm in writing
Total price per billing period shown before binding Met Scout Cloud terms, price and payment module
Renewal offer terms clear and conspicuous Met Scout Cloud terms, acceptance and term modules
No pre-ticked extra paid option Met Scout Cloud terms, price and payment module
Order button prescribed labels Met Scout Cloud terms, acceptance module (PW-DE-1 for Germany; PW-EU-1 equivalent for EU)
Express affirmative consent before first charge Met Scout Cloud terms, term/renewal module
Simple mechanism to stop recurring charges Met Scout Cloud terms, term/renewal module
Confirmation on durable medium Met Scout Cloud terms, acceptance module
Pre-billing/renewal reminders (CA/NY) Partially met No free trial exists, so the trial-conversion notice does not apply; the one-year-or-more renewal notice does not apply to a monthly plan; California's annual-plan yearly reminder does not apply to a monthly plan either -- correctly not drafted since none of the triggering conditions are met for a monthly, no-trial plan

Storage period or criteria stated Open point Several periods bracketed as not yet provided by the client -- see privacy-notice.md placeholders and open-points.md

Not drafted / out of scope

  • A data processing agreement was not drafted; see reply.md and open point OP-2 for why, and the condition under which one would be added.
  • A cookie notice for Fernlook's website was not requested and is not drafted; the ePrivacy/TDDDG rows above are flagged, not resolved.
  • An acceptable use policy was not requested (the product has no user-generated content or platform feature) and is not drafted.
  • Terms of service for the web store checkout generally (as distinct from the EULA and Scout Cloud terms) were not separately requested; the EULA's acceptance clause covers the camera purchase flow, but a standalone "terms of service" document for the web store itself (returns policy, shipping terms, etc., beyond the conformity and withdrawal rules already stated) was not requested and is not drafted.
