Alexa, Google and Matter, smart-home hubs, custom firmware, the camera, and your password.
Smart-home support on China units is thin: owners report no Alexa or Google Home. The robot reports to the maker's systems in China. Any third-party app needs your account login, so ask how it is kept.
Advice
Owners report no Google Home or Alexa on China units, and whether China models get Matter is unclear. Features also differ by model and arrive by update. Treat smart-speaker support as absent unless the seller proves otherwise.
Advice
We found no official word on it, and owners report that smart-home support on China units is thin. VacDeck has no smart-home integration. Treat hub support as absent unless the seller proves otherwise.
Advice
Valetudo is custom firmware that you flash onto the robot instead of the maker's. It is not presented as an unlock for the region lock. Owners say flashing new robots is increasingly difficult, and it does not support every model. VacDeck does not flash firmware.
Advice

Advice
Not in VacDeck; it has no camera view. Use the official app for that, where your model supports it.
Partly
Ask each app how it keeps it. VacDeck uses the password once, to link the account, and does not store it; what it keeps to stay linked is encrypted before it is saved, and linking requires a verified email.
VacDeck uses your Dreamehome or MOVAhome password once, to link the account, and does not store it. The sign-in key it keeps is encrypted before it is saved. You can unlink the account at any time.
