Privacy Shield

Locus Robotics has achieved the Privacy Shield self-certification, which is confirmation of our adherence to the Privacy Shield principles. We are in compliance with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the European Union (EU) and Switzerland to the United States in support of transatlantic commerce. This is yet another step in our commitment to the privacy and security of the personal data of our customers, partners, and employees.

GDPR

In simple terms, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a legal framework that sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information from individuals who live in the EU.

The term “personal information” for the GDPR is all-encompassing from your ethnicity and age to your credit history and private communications.

Here at Locus Robotics, we’re committed to abiding by the GDPR for the data we hold.

CCPA

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a state-wide data privacy law that regulates how businesses all over the world are allowed to handle the personal information (PI) of California residents.

The intentions of the Act are to provide California residents with the right to:

• Know what personal data is being collected about them.
• Know whether their personal data is sold or disclosed and to whom.
• Say no to the sale of personal data.
• Access their personal data.
• Request a business to delete any personal information about a consumer collected from that consumer.
• Not be discriminated against for exercising their privacy rights.

Here at Locus Robotics, we’re committed to abiding by CCPA for the data we hold.

Sustainability

As a technology leader, we actively support driving sustainability across all aspects of our business – from manufacturing to deployment, support, and maintenance. We are also committed to recycling nearly 100% of components at the end of the useful life of the LocusBots. 

The typical lifespan for a LocusBot would be typically five to seven years, given technology evolution. However, with our refurbishing processes, the life span of our LocusBots extends well beyond this period.

One key aspect of our company is our Robots as a Service (RaaS) model. Since customers do not own the LocusBots, we maintain the robots in the field sustainably. When contracts change or grow, we can quickly refurbish, repurpose, and redeploy robots to new facilities or regions. No robots go to waste.

The four major components in the LocusBots are ABS plastic, metal casings, batteries, printed circuit boards, and related electronics. Because the useful life of each component varies, we work hard to refurbish and repair components vs. replacing them. Recycling is only done when we are unable to refurbish or repurpose a component or part.

Reliability

Locus Robotics Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) program maintains current available business operations and facilitates the efficient restoration of business operations due to a large-scale disruption. The BCDR program helps ensure critical business functions continuously operate and support customer services without disruption.

The BCDR program includes the main three components, as well as annual program testing, including the coordination and monitoring of restoration efforts when activated.

• Business Continuity Plan – The BCP includes a comprehensive set of instructions and tasks that must be completed upon an impactful business disruption. The BCP identifies key stakeholders and their responsibilities, defines communication and documentation requirements, and details plan activation and deactivation steps and authorities.
• Business Impact Analysis –The BIA evaluates the critical business functions and applications that support business operations and customer services.
• Disaster Recovery Plans – For each critical business function identified in the BIA, product and service teams maintain a disaster recovery plan that lists, in order, the technical processes required to bring business operations back into a fully operational state. The two core processes involved in maintaining a recoverable operational environment are backups and redundancy.
