Sign First

Data governance

Learning signals need their own permission.

Sign First separates private use, personalized support, and voluntary model contribution. The current visual-ASL contribution program is disabled for real learners.

08 / Governed learning

The long-term learning asset can compound only if provenance, purpose, revocation, and deletion are designed in from the start.

Purpose before data

One interaction does not create one giant permission.

Choose a lane. The retained fields, authority, expiration, serving path, and revocation effect all change with the purpose.
May be retainedContent-free model, timing, and safety telemetry
Explicitly excludedQuestion, candidate, answer, learner id, participant code, media, and pose
Maximum technical retention30 days
Authority requiredService delivery only
Downstream boundaryNo learner profile. No training contribution.
Revocation must reachPartition expiry removes the bounded operational record.

Technical policy, not legal permission: the lifecycle is implemented and tested with synthetic or public research evidence. Institution-specific authority, notices, agreements, accessibility, state law, guardian permission, learner assent, and Deaf-led governance remain required before any real-student program.

01

Private session

Use the product without building a profile.

Private sessions are the default. Raw camera video and audio are not retained by the current runtime.

02

Personalized support

Store only authorized, bounded learning state.

A learner-selected support preference or misconception can be represented without inferring a diagnosis from signing, English quality, or an AI guess.

03

Model contribution

Contribution is separate, revocable, and purpose-bound.

The verified internal pipeline uses minimized synthetic text repair records. Any future visual-ASL program needs separate governance and authorization before real collection.

From correction to governed asset

The asset compounds only while permission survives.

Purpose, provenance, revocation, retention, and deletion must travel farther than the source record. A rebuilt asset must forget what the learner revoked.
