What stays on your device
Inspection notes, hashes, and Inspect photos stay in this browser by default. Personal TSCM does not store that content on company servers. We teach the craft; we do not hold your field notes.
What we may hold if you opt in later
Account email if you sign in, progress, and space names you choose to sync. Age attestation. Consent versions. Cloud backup of images is off in this build.
What we refuse by default
Room photo clouds, 3D meshes of your house, live microphone archives, precise GPS of your bedroom, passwords, full card numbers.
AI tutor
Questions you type are sent to Google Gemini under our API key to generate a defensive explanation. We instruct the model to refuse offensive, stalking, or exploit content. Do not paste other people’s private data. Photos are not sent in this build.
Cookies
Essential: age gate, theme, session, PWA-install snooze. No advertising tracker in this build.
Photos & scans
Default: photos, audio samples, and inspection notes never leave this device. Personal TSCM’s servers do not store your field notes or hashes — we teach the craft; we do not hold your records. Optional cloud backup of text notes (not photos) would require an explicit account later. Cloud backup of images is disabled in this phase on purpose.
Audio
The optional sound meter is a live level display. It is not a recorder by default and is not a microphone bug detector. A single phone cannot certify its own audio path. If you need to document possible real-time alteration of a call, a helper records room air and the far end records on a clean device you never collect onto yours. Recording other people’s private conversations can be a crime (one-party vs all-party consent).
Location
We do not request precise GPS for homes in this version. Name your spaces in words. Addresses are optional and stored only if you type them.
Children
If a child’s safety is involved, contact local authorities and child-protection resources. Do not use this app to monitor a child with hidden cameras in intimate spaces.
Retention
Local data lives until you clear site data. Synced account rows (when enabled) last until you delete the account. Tutor prompts may be processed by Google under their Gemini API terms; do not paste secrets or other people’s private data.
