AI, Data & Privacy
Good - EU data processing option available
This robot offers multi-region cloud processing, which typically includes EU-based server options. EU residents may be able to ensure their data stays within EU borders, though this depends on the specific configuration. Check the manufacturer's privacy policy for region selection details.
How to keep it private
Basic cleaning works without Wi-Fi using the physical button or the built-in voice assistant ("Hello Rocky"). Navigation, obstacle avoidance, and AI object recognition all process on-device. However, app features like scheduling, room mapping, no-go zones, and remote viewing require Wi-Fi.
Available privacy controls
All obstacle recognition images are processed on-board the robot and never uploaded to cloud servers
Remote viewing camera is off by default and requires a separate activation code each time, with an audible announcement when activated
Voice commands via "Hello Rocky" are processed locally without storing voice data
User data stored in data centers matching your registered region (Asia, Europe, or North America)
Maps can be deleted through the app via Manage Maps, and factory reset clears all local data
Deleting your Roborock account removes all associated personal data from their servers
The camera is disabled by default, which is excellent for privacy. Keep it disabled unless you specifically need remote viewing. For maximum privacy, use the physical button or "Hello Rocky" voice commands without connecting to Wi-Fi after initial setup. All obstacle avoidance images stay on-device. Delete your account to remove all server-side data.
What this means for EU residents
Independent data centers in Asia, Europe, and North America. User data processed and stored in data centers based on registered region. Nothing collected or uploaded without explicit permission. Voice commands processed on-device without storing voice data.
What the AI can do 7 capabilities
External AI connections Not allowed
