The Software and all IP therein remain SplitSec's exclusive property. No rights are granted except as expressly stated.

5. Privacy; Data; Transparency

5.1 On‑Device Processing; No Audio Upload by Default

The Software analyzes ambient sounds on‑device to detect acoustical signatures that may indicate gunshots. By default, the Software does not record, store, or transmit raw audio off the device.

5.2 Diagnostics & Analytics

With your opt‑in, we may collect non‑audio diagnostics (e.g., crash logs, model confidence scores, event timestamps, device/OS metadata, coarse location/timezone, battery state) to improve performance and reduce false positives.

5.3 Emergency Contacts

If you enable notifications to chosen contacts, carrier/SMS or data charges may apply; SplitSec is not responsible for such charges or delivery failures.

5.4 Research Addendum (Optional)

If you explicitly opt in to Appendix A, we may capture and securely upload short buffered audio snippets around suspected events solely to improve detection (e.g., reducing false positives). This is off by default and requires separate consent you can withdraw at any time.

5.5 Your Responsibilities

Do not submit sensitive personal or third‑party information in free‑text fields. You will comply with all applicable laws relating to audio and privacy.

6.2 Assumption of Risk

6.3 Decision‑Making

Do not base life‑critical decisions solely on the Software. In an emergency, follow official guidance and contact authorities.
