• Any media thus created is only saved on the device temporarily after which it is converted to an encoded format for transmission, storage and further use in your projects. This data is part of your project and is not accessed by GraspIO.

Section 6: Data Transmission and Storage

You agree that you understand and accept the below:

• GraspIO uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for communication between any GraspIO Products/ Services. This includes any communication between the GraspIO Cloud, the GraspIO Studio app as well as GraspIO hardware products. Data collected by GraspIO via its Products, Websites and Services is stored on secure third-party servers.

• Audio recordings created as part of the Playback block in GraspIO Studio in a project are encoded before it is saved on the GraspIO IoT Cloud. This data can be decoded only using GraspIO technology, thus ensuring data security and privacy.

• Any user content created by You, such as images, audios, videos, and zip files are not password-protected at the time of transmission to other platforms such as email or notifications.

• Though GraspIO complies with the above security practices and standards for transmission and storage of data, a possibility exists that an unauthorized third-party could discover user content while it is being transmitted over the internet from GraspIO to your personal accounts during the process of sharing or exporting data/user content. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Section 7: IoT Cloud Metering

Note: GraspIO reserves the right to modify the Cloud Call Metering charges at any stage. Modified terms will be notified to you in advance either via email or the mobile app and will become effective immediately upon posting on the Site. Your use of the app or the Services after the date changes become effective constitutes Your acceptance of the modified terms.

• A project may be deployed to the GraspIO board over the internet using GraspIO’s Cloud service, IoT Cloud. All cloud related services are measured using Cloud Calls. A Cloud Call is a traffic based measurement. Any one-way communication between GraspIO Cloudio and GraspIO Studio App via IoT Cloud is one call.

• Each board is preloaded with 50,000 free Cloud Calls. Upon completion of 50,000 calls, 100 daily non-cumulative calls are credited to your account for life. Cloud Calls plans that require usage above these limits can be purchased via the GraspIO Studio app as per the payment terms outlined therewith.

• The daily calls are credited at 12:00 AM GMT.

It is to be noted here that all call related credits (Free calls and daily calls) apply to one board and are non-transferable between boards linked to, or held under the same account.
Besides during deployment and execution of GraspIO projects, Cloud calls are made for execution, data collection and transmission, over the IoT Cloud. It is to be noted that certain advanced IoT features of the GraspIO app are designed to work only with/through the IoT Cloud.

• A project on GraspIO Studio is created using a combination of blocks. Each block consumes a certain number of calls that are deducted from your account. This number is deducted from the account each time (and every time) this block is executed.

• Cloud calls for a project are calculated based on
  o The number of times it is deployed.
  (Each instance of deployment (be it on a board, or a repeated case of deployment) of the project counts as a separate call)
  o The blocks included inside it
  (Includes additional feature based calls for advanced blocks, and execution calls corresponding to internet calls used directly or indirectly by the block)

• For a project the number of calls incurred will be sum of the three calls explained below.
  o Deployment call – Call(s) made when the project is deployed. This refers to 1 call per instance of deployment.
  o Execution call - Call(s) made as part of the project execution. Corresponding call rates will be levied each time the feature is executed.
  o Special call - Call(s) made by a special block(s) which either uses the Internet or includes blocks with unique capabilities within the project.

• Each time a project is deployed, 1 deployment call is made.
  In addition, the Cloud calls corresponding to individual functions or blocks within the project are deducted from your account.

• The calls corresponding to each block/function are summarized below.

Block / Function	Number of Execution Calls	Number of Special Calls
Read	0	0
Stop	0	0
Speak	10	0
Notification	10	0
Email	20	0
Camera
Photo	10	0
GIF	20	0
Video	100	0
Timelapse	100	0
Playback	0	10
Monitor *	1	9
Speech	10	9
Schedule	10	9
IFTTT(Trigger)**	5 (For every trigger instance)	100 (Per sensor)
IFTTT(Action)***	100	100

* 1 Call per value per mobile device.

Each instance of fetching a sensor data value on GraspIO Studio consumes 1 call per mobile device.
For example:
If John’s project fetches and displays 30 values from 1 sensor in a 30-minute monitoring duration, 30 calls are made.
If John monitors 2 sensors in the project, 60 values are collected, and hence, 60 calls made.
However, if John fetches the same data on GraspIO Studio running on another mobile device, the same number of calls will be consumed again by this second session.

** Call deductions will begin once the project is uploaded to the board irrespective of the applet creation on IFTTT. So, if the board is configured to work as a Trigger for IFTTT, call deductions will be made when the triggers are fired on the device even if the applet is not created or enabled for the board.
Every time a project is uploaded, and 1 Sensor-Trigger is set, 1 deployment call is made, in addition to 100 Special calls for the sensor. Each subsequent trigger (as and when fired during the course of the project's run-time) consumes 5 calls.
Further, if 3 sensors are being used as Triggers in 1 project, 1 deployment call is made, in addition to 300 Special calls (100 for each sensor) being deducted at the time of upload. Over and above this, 5 calls are consumed each time a trigger is fired.
