Privacy & Ethics

Your Privacy is
Non-Negotiable

Camera glasses raise legitimate privacy concerns. Here's how we've designed Clawglasses to protect both wearers and bystanders.

HARDWARE ENFORCED

Always-On Recording LED

When the camera is active, a bright LED indicator is always visibleto people around you. This cannot be disabled by software—it's hardwired into the circuit.

  • LED is directly wired to camera power circuit
  • No firmware or software can bypass it
  • Visible from 15+ feet in daylight
  • Required for FCC/CE certification

Privacy Architecture

How your data flows and who has access

🔒

On-Device Processing (Default)

By default, all audio and video processing happens on the device itself. Your recordings never leave your glasses unless you explicitly choose to upload them.

Processed On-Device

  • • Voice activity detection
  • • Wake word recognition
  • • Basic English transcription
  • • Local file storage

Your Control

  • • Delete recordings anytime
  • • No cloud sync required
  • • Offline-only mode available
  • • Export to your own storage
☁️

Cloud Processing (Opt-In Only)

Advanced features like multi-language translation and GPT-4 level AI require cloud processing. This is always opt-in and clearly indicated in the app.

When You Opt In

  • • Data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3)
  • • Processed in isolated containers
  • • Deleted after processing (no retention)
  • • Never used for model training

Cloud Features

  • • 40+ language translation
  • • Advanced AI queries
  • • Digital Twin training
  • • DePIN contributions

Privacy FAQ

Can I disable the recording LED?

No. The LED is hardwired to the camera power circuit. It cannot be disabled by any software or firmware update. This is a deliberate design choice for privacy and regulatory compliance.

Do you sell my data?

No. We do not sell personal data to third parties. Ever. Our business model is based on hardware sales, premium features, and ecosystem transactions—not data brokerage.

What happens to my data if I delete my account?

All personal data is permanently deleted within 30 days. DePIN contributions that have been anonymized and integrated into the network cannot be individually removed, but they contain no personally identifiable information.

Is the DePIN mapping legal?

We've designed DePIN contributions to comply with privacy laws by blurring faces and license plates on-device before upload. However, users should be aware of local laws regarding photography in public spaces.

Can law enforcement access my recordings?

On-device recordings are encrypted and stored locally. We cannot access them. For cloud-processed data, we comply with valid legal requests but will notify users unless legally prohibited.
