Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 1, 2026  |  Last Updated: June 22, 2026

Claire Sense Inc. ("Claire Sense," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy and respecting applicable privacy laws in every jurisdiction where our Services are used, including but not limited to Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and comparable provincial, state, and national data protection legislation. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle your information when you use the ClaireCam mobile application, the Claire Sense dashcam ecosystem, and our related services (collectively, the "Services").

Our core privacy commitment: ClaireCam does not require an account, does not collect your name, email, or any Personal Information (as defined below), and does not track you when the App is not recording. All Recordings and driving data are stored locally on your device and remain under your control.

By using our Services, you agree to the handling of information in accordance with this policy and the applicable privacy laws of your jurisdiction.

Definitions

The following terms have specific meanings throughout this Privacy Policy. When capitalized, they refer to the definitions below:

• "Claire Sense," "we," "us," or "our" — Claire Sense Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Alberta, Canada.
• "ClaireCam" or "the App" — the ClaireCam mobile application.
• "Services" — ClaireCam, the dashcam ecosystem, and all related services provided by Claire Sense.
• "Recording" — the continuous video and audio captured by ClaireCam during a recording session, stored locally on your device. A Recording may include one or more Clips.
• "Clip" — a discrete segment of a Recording that you select, lock (mark for preservation to prevent automatic deletion by loop recording), or export for sharing or upload.
• "Breadcrumb Image" — a single still image captured from the device camera and transmitted to our servers for Anonymized traffic analysis.
• "Telemetry Data" — structured data logged alongside Recordings, including speed, g-force, GPS coordinates, heading, altitude, and driving events, stored in JSON format.
• "Sensor Data" — accelerometer readings (longitudinal, lateral, and vertical g-forces) used for driver scoring and event detection.
• "Device Identifier" — an anonymous, app-specific identifier generated and stored locally on your device. It is not linked to your Apple ID, is not the Apple Advertising Identifier (IDFA), and cannot be used to track you across other apps or websites.
• "Personal Information" — information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to an identified or identifiable individual (also referred to as "personal data" under EU law or "personally identifiable information" under U.S. frameworks).
• "De-Identified Data" — data from which direct personal identifiers (such as name, email, or Device Identifier) have been removed, but which has not necessarily been irreversibly anonymized. De-Identified Data may retain indirect identifiers (such as trip timestamps or GPS trajectories) that, in combination with external data, could theoretically be used to re-identify an individual. Claire Sense treats De-Identified Data with the same safeguards as Personal Information until it is fully Anonymized.
• "Anonymized Data" — data that has been irreversibly altered so that it cannot, by any reasonably foreseeable means, be used to identify a specific individual, either directly or in combination with other data. Anonymization includes the removal or permanent obfuscation of faces, license plates, and other personally identifiable visual elements.
• "Aggregated Data" — data that has been combined across multiple users, trips, or geographic areas and is presented only in statistical or summary form (e.g., average speed on a road segment, number of Hazard Reports in an area).
• "Hazard Report" — a user-submitted report of a road hazard, including the location, hazard type, and an anonymous Device Identifier used solely for rate limiting and vote deduplication.
• "Hazard Alert" — a notification delivered to users about a nearby hazard, generated from Hazard Reports submitted by the community.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Recording Data (On-Device Only)

The following data is collected only during active recording sessions and is stored locally on your device. When you are not recording, the App does not collect GPS coordinates, Sensor Data, or any background location information.

• Location Data: GPS coordinates, speed, heading, and altitude. This data is used for speed limit lookups, enforcement camera warnings, Hazard Alerts, and driver score computation.
• Sensor Data: Accelerometer readings (longitudinal, lateral, and vertical g-forces) used for driver scoring and event detection (hard braking, sharp turns, rapid acceleration).
• Video & Audio: Recordings captured by the device cameras. Audio is recorded only if you have not enabled the mute option.
• Telemetry Data: Speed, g-force, GPS trajectory, and driving events logged in JSON format alongside Recordings.

None of this data is automatically sent to our servers. It leaves your device only when you explicitly choose to share or upload a Clip.

1.2 Data Sent to Our Servers

Data is transmitted to our servers in the following situations:

• Clip Sharing: When you choose to share a Clip, the Clip and its associated Telemetry Data are uploaded to our servers for the sole purpose of enabling sharing with recipients you designate. Uploads are anonymous — no user account or Device Identifier is attached.
• Hazard Data Sharing: When you choose to share unsafe driving Clips or Hazard Reports, the data is uploaded for sharing purposes and may also be processed and Anonymized by Claire Sense to provide localized services such as Hazard Alerts, road condition monitoring, and improved safety warnings in your area.
• Live Trip Sharing: When you opt in, your real-time location is temporarily shared via a unique URL. This data is ephemeral and deleted when the session ends.
• Hazard Reports: If you submit a Hazard Report, the location, hazard type, and your Device Identifier (used solely for rate limiting and vote deduplication) are sent to our servers. This identifier cannot be used to identify you personally.
• Speed Limit Lookups: Your approximate location is sent to our server to query speed limits and enforcement cameras from OpenStreetMap data. These queries are not logged or associated with any identity.
• Breadcrumb Images: During recording sessions, the App may periodically collect and transmit Anonymized Breadcrumb Images — along with GPS location, speed, and acceleration data — to our servers for traffic pattern analysis and road condition monitoring. Breadcrumb Images are not associated with any user identity or Device Identifier.

1.3 Device Identifiers

ClaireCam generates a Device Identifier stored on your device. This identifier is not the Apple Advertising Identifier (IDFA), is not linked to your Apple ID or any Personal Information, and cannot be used to track you across other apps or websites. It is used for:

• Rate Limiting: Preventing abuse of the Hazard Report system.
• Vote Deduplication: Ensuring one vote per device on Hazard Reports.
• Push Notifications: Delivering proximity-based Hazard Alerts and companion wakeup notifications to your device.
• Live Trip Sharing: Routing peer-to-peer connections between the driver App and companion viewers. This identifier is held in server memory only during active sessions.

This identifier is never shared with third parties and is not included in any Anonymized or Aggregated Data sets.

1.4 Device Information

Basic device information such as device model, operating system version, and app version may be available to us through Apple's App Store Connect analytics when you opt in to share diagnostics with app developers.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Core Functionality: Real-time speed limit display, enforcement camera warnings, driver scoring, and Hazard Alerts.
• Recording: Loop recording, incident preservation, and optional cloud backup of locked Clips.
• Driver Scoring: Computing per-trip safety scores based on acceleration, braking, cornering, and speed limit compliance. Scores and trajectory segments are stored locally on your device.
• Live Trip Sharing: When you opt in to share a live trip, your real-time location is temporarily shared via a unique URL with recipients you choose.
• Traffic Pattern Analysis: Anonymized Data (location, speed, and acceleration) may be used to understand traffic patterns, road conditions, and infrastructure state.
• Service Improvement: Aggregated and Anonymized Data may be used to improve road safety models, speed limit accuracy, and hazard detection algorithms.
• Commercial Data Licensing: Anonymized, Aggregated, and De-Identified Data may be licensed or sold to third parties for road safety, autonomous vehicle development, insurance analytics, and municipal infrastructure management. See Section 4 for details.

3. Data Storage & Retention

3.1 On-Device Storage

Recordings, GPS trajectories, Telemetry Data, and driver score summaries are stored locally on your device. Loop recording automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked Recordings when storage limits are reached. You control your storage limit in Settings.

3.2 Cloud Storage (for Sharing Purposes)

We provide cloud storage space for the purpose of enabling you to share Clips and hazard data with others. When you choose to upload content, it is stored anonymously with a unique share ID — no user account or Device Identifier is attached. Uploaded Clips are retained for the duration specified in your subscription plan and are deleted upon request.

By uploading Clips or hazard data, you agree that such data may be processed and Anonymized by Claire Sense to provide and improve localized services, including Hazard Alerts, road condition monitoring, speed limit verification, and other safety features relevant to the geographic area of the upload. All processing is performed in accordance with applicable local privacy laws.

3.3 Server-Side Data

Speed limit cache data, Hazard Reports, and Anonymized Telemetry Data used for road safety analysis are stored on our servers. Live trip sharing data is ephemeral and deleted when the sharing session ends.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your Personal Information. We do not sell or share data that can be used to identify you personally (such as your name, email, or Device Identifiers). However, we may sell or license Anonymized, Aggregated, and De-Identified Data derived from your use of the Services. This data cannot be traced back to you individually.

4.1 Anonymized Data Licensing

Claire Sense Inc. may license or sell Anonymized Data to third parties, including:

• Autonomous vehicle and ADAS developers — for training perception models, validating safety systems, and improving road scene understanding.
• Insurance companies — for Anonymized driving behavior analytics, risk modeling, and actuarial analysis.
