1. Information We Collect
SightLine collects the minimum data necessary to provide our real-time AI vision assistance service:
- Camera frames: Video frames are streamed in real-time to the Gemini AI model for scene description. Frames are processed transiently and are NOT stored on our servers unless you explicitly request a frame capture.
- Audio data: Voice input is streamed to Gemini for natural language understanding. Audio is processed in real-time and is NOT recorded or stored.
- Account data: Firebase authentication UID, email address (if Google sign-in is used), and authentication status.
- Usage data: Session duration, mode selections, and daily usage time for free tier enforcement.
- Preferences: User-selected settings (speech rate, verbosity, language, UI preferences).
- Captured frames: Only when explicitly requested. Stored in Google Cloud Storage with automatic 7-day expiration.
2. How We Use Your Data
- Provide real-time AI-powered scene descriptions and navigation assistance
- Enforce usage limits and manage account tiers
- Remember your preferences across sessions

All data processing occurs within Google Cloud's infrastructure with enterprise-grade security.
