StreetGaze Privacy Policy

App: StreetGaze (com.streetgaze.app)

Plain summary: StreetGaze runs on your device. It does not record, store, or upload video or face images. Only aggregated counts are kept locally. The Free tier works without an account and without internet.

1. Who we are

StreetGaze is a store-window analytics tool for small retailers.
Contact: streetgaze.app@gmail.com

This policy describes the Free tier. Cloud sync and remote web access are not enabled unless you explicitly opt in after they become available.

2. What StreetGaze does

StreetGaze uses the device camera and on-device face detection (Google ML Kit) to estimate how many people passed your window and how many looked toward it. Results are shown as trends, not exact counts.

You accept this positioning during onboarding: “I understand this is a trend indicator, not an exact counter.”

3. Data we process

3.1 On-device counting

DataStored?Leaves device?
Video / camera framesNo — memory onlyNo
Face images / photosNoNo
Biometric templates (face IDs)NoNo
Daily/hourly aggregates (passed, looked, %)Yes — local Room DBNo (Free tier)
ROI / calibration settingsYes — local onlyNo (Free tier)

Tracking IDs exist only in memory during a session to avoid double-counting; they are not persisted as personal data.

Local aggregates and settings stay on your device. Android cloud backup and device transfer are disabled for StreetGaze app data.

3.2 Optional email

You may enter an email in Settings. This is optional — StreetGaze works fully offline without it. Free tier: stored only on your device until you join the waitlist. Join sends your email to our form provider (Formspree) over HTTPS so we can notify you; our inbox address is not shown in the app.

3.3 Willingness-to-pay (WTP) prompt

After setup, the app may ask whether you would pay for remote access. Your answer (Yes / Maybe / No) and optional price hint are stored locally on the device and are not uploaded in the Free tier.

3.4 Local Wi‑Fi dashboard

When counting runs, a local dashboard may be available at http://<LAN-IP>:7878 with aggregates only (no video). It listens on your device’s Wi‑Fi address, not the public internet. Anyone on the same Wi‑Fi may open it — prefer a staff-only network. Connection limits help reduce abuse on low-RAM tablets.

4. What we do not collect (Free tier)

5. Your rights

Device-only data is under your control via clear app data or uninstall. Contact for waitlist messages you sent: streetgaze.app@gmail.com.
