    Smart purifiers - the Dyson pure range 


    The Dyson purifiers and purifier humidifiers monitor the air quality in the room it is situated. Data from your machine is used to provide you with an accurate picture of the air quality breakdown in your home.  We may share your data with third parties who support us by providing services to you. For example, usage data may be used by third-party affiliate companies in Dyson markets where repair and maintenance services are outsourced. This only happens when you connect your smart product to the Dyson Link App. See our privacy notice for further information.  

     Lighting


    Our lighting range uses Bluetooth® to connect to the Link app, unlike our other products which use Wi-fi. The Dyson Link app allows you to create lighting profiles that collects additional data such as your age and location. We use information about your age and location to determine the right colour and brightness for your eyes.  We may share your data with third parties who support us by providing services to you.

    Dyson robot vacuums


    Dyson Robots use their 360° vision system to navigate your home.


    Dyson 360 Eye™ robot uses its Infra-Red (IR) sensors to create a map of the area it has cleaned, each time it cleans. So it knows where it has yet to cover. 


    Dyson 360 Heurist™ robot vacuum Heurist uses its sensors to create a map of your home. This allows you to customise which zones of your home the Robot vacuums, what power mode to use in each and if there are areas it should avoid.  

    Images from the camera stay on your machine, and are not accessed by Dyson. 

    Mapping data from your cleans is securely sent to the Link app, so you can see where the Robot vacuum has cleaned. 

    The map is securely stored on the Link app, so that you can adjust and customise it.  

    We may share your data with third parties who support us by providing services to you. For example, usage data may be used by third-party affiliate companies in Dyson markets where repair and maintenance services are outsourced. This only happens when you connect your smart product to the Dyson Link App. See our privacy notice for further information.
