Sign First

Privacy

Minimize first. Authorize separately.

This page describes the current research runtime and product design boundaries. It does not replace institution-specific notices, legal review, or authorization required for real learners.

13 / Current runtime

No raw camera video or audio is retained by the Sign First product runtime.

Select a trace. Privacy is expressed as a route, an exclusion list, a maximum retention, and a downstream effect—not a single promise at the bottom of a page.

The camera frame stops before the evidence warehouse.

Retained stateNo raw camera media

Expiry or deletionInteraction memory ends with the active session path

Current research-runtime boundary: no real learner self-enrollment and no raw sign-video retention are enabled. Any school deployment needs its own approved notices, agreements, data map, processors, retention schedule, deletion proof, and jurisdiction-specific review.

01

Collection

The camera stream is processed for the immediate interaction.

Confirmed text and bounded learning signals depend on the selected mode. Private session is the default.

02

Authorization

Personalization and contribution are different purposes.

Technical authorization states are demonstrated with synthetic identities. They do not fabricate school, guardian, learner, or legal approval.

03

Control

Export, revocation, and deletion must affect downstream assets.

The synthetic contribution pipeline demonstrates revocation-aware export and rebuild. Real learner policy and retention schedules remain external gates.

04

Site analytics

No third-party behavioral tracker is installed.

The current public site does not set an advertising or analytics cookie. Operational health and security logs must remain minimized and must never include raw camera media.

From default minimization to bounded support

Less data crosses each boundary.

Private use stays the baseline. Every additional purpose must be understandable, separable, revocable, and reflected in downstream records and assets.
01

Measured now

Every claim on this page traces to a locked, dated artifact.
02

Governed next

New evidence enters only through consent, provenance, and revocation gates.
03

Evidence required

Larger claims wait for independent, Deaf-governed evaluation.
