Trust

Your rights, your record, yours alone.

Privacy is the product. Below is what we commit to, in the language we are prepared to be held to.

v1.1 · internally reviewed · in counsel review, not yet in force

The Trust Charter

Ten commitments. In writing. On publication the Charter is incorporated into our Terms of Service, contractually enforceable by every user, not a marketing page. Three commitments are designated non-amendable.

Your recordings belong to you: sole ownership, full export, and deletion from our systems on request. Copies in your own Drive stay under your control.

Non-amendable

Free protection, forever. SOS Mode is never paywalled.

Encrypted in transit and at rest. Where we have to process a stream, such as live transcription, we say so instead of pretending we cannot see it.

We never sell your data, including “anonymized” behavioral data.

Non-amendable

No back doors for insurers, employers or partners. They get adoption numbers, never you.

Law-enforcement access requires your consent or valid legal process. We notify you wherever the law permits it, and we challenge overreach.

Minimum collection, with a “what we have” screen and a delete button for every category.

We never become what we guard against. No facial recognition. No crowd surveillance.

Non-amendable

Radical transparency: twice-yearly reports, published audits, a warrant canary, 72-hour breach notice.

Accountability you can hold us to: a Trust Council, 90-day change control, and a commitment to delete user data rather than transfer it if we are ever acquired.

Target publication ahead of our first city launch events, following counsel review of the Terms incorporation language, jurisdiction review of the notification and warrant-canary provisions, technical verification that every claim matches shipped code, and appointment of the Trust Council.

Privacy

What we collect, and where it goes.

We collect: Google account basics for sign-in (name, email, profile photo), the emergency contacts you designate, incident metadata (event type, time, location), and AI assistant queries plus usage analytics.

We do not sell your data. Data is shared only with the contacts you choose, the Google services you connect, legal support at your request, our infrastructure providers, or in response to valid legal process.

Your recordings go to your Drive. Recordings, transcripts and AI summaries save to your own Google account. Deleting your MyGuardian™ account removes your data from our live systems, and copies held in backups age out with those backups; what is already in your Drive stays under your control until you delete it there.

Full privacy policy and terms are published in the app and at the Support Center ↗. You must be 18 or older to use MyGuardian™.

Security

Where we stand, stated plainly.

Live today

Encrypted in transit and encrypted at rest. Streams are encrypted between your device and the Guardians you chose. Per-file and per-frame SHA-256 hashing. Automatic PII detection for faces, plates and addresses before public sharing. Live transcription is processed on our infrastructure, which means that stream is decrypted for processing, and we say so rather than calling the whole product end-to-end encrypted.

Scheduled

Manual penetration testing, automated testing and audit begin once the defect backlog is at low priority. Formal security review and SOC 2 follow in Q4 2026. We will publish the result either way.

Working on it now

Two questions are with counsel: handling in all-party consent states, and long-term evidence custody. We would rather tell you where we are while we are still working on it.

Recording consent, state by state

Select a state. This is general reference information about recording private conversations. It is not legal advice, and it is not the same thing as the jurisdiction layer we are building into the app.

State	Consent rule	Notes
Alabama	One-party consent	Generally a one-party consent state: if you are part of the conversation, you may usually record it. Recording on-duty officers in public is separately protected in most federal circuits.
Alaska	One-party consent	Generally a one-party consent state: if you are part of the conversation, you may usually record it. Recording on-duty officers in public is separately protected in most federal circuits.
Arizona	One-party consent	One-party consent. A 2022 law restricting close-range filming of police was blocked by a federal court.
Arkansas	One-party consent	Generally a one-party consent state: if you are part of the conversation, you may usually record it. Recording on-duty officers in public is separately protected in most federal circuits.
California	All-party consent	All-party consent under Penal Code § 632 for confidential communications. Penal Code § 148(g) provides that photographing or recording a public officer does not by itself constitute obstruction.
Colorado	One-party consent	One-party consent, and Colorado law expressly protects the right to record incidents involving peace officers.
Connecticut	Mixed / unsettled	Criminal eavesdropping is one-party. The civil statute reaches private telephone calls only, where all parties must consent. In person the rule is one-party, though saying you are recording is safer.
Delaware	All-party consent	All-party consent by statute, though Delaware courts have read the federal one-party rule alongside it. The conservative reading is all-party.
District of Columbia	One-party consent	One-party consent. D.C. police policy and the First Amendment protect recording officers in public.
Florida	All-party consent	All-party consent for oral communications where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. Public encounters generally fall outside that.
Georgia	One-party consent	Generally a one-party consent state: if you are part of the conversation, you may usually record it. Recording on-duty officers in public is separately protected in most federal circuits.
Hawaii	One-party consent	One-party consent generally, but recording in a private place where you are not present requires all-party consent.
Idaho	One-party consent	Generally a one-party consent state: if you are part of the conversation, you may usually record it. Recording on-duty officers in public is separately protected in most federal circuits.
Illinois	All-party consent	All-party consent for private conversations. There is no express police exemption; the statute’s police clauses cover in-car cameras. On-duty officers in public are usually not in a private conversation. ACLU of Illinois v. Alvarez, 7th Cir. 2012.

Michigan	Mixed / unsettled	Text of the statute reads all-party; Michigan courts have read it to permit a participant to record. Unsettled, and the conservative reading is all-party.

Recording consent reference

Hover, tap or tab to any state to see how its consent rule is generally understood, plus how it treats recording on-duty law enforcement.

Courts have broadly recognized a First Amendment right to record on-duty officers performing their duties in public, and consent statutes generally do not reach conversations with no reasonable expectation of privacy. Laws change. Confirm with counsel.

Where we draw the line on AI

Legal information. Never legal advice.

We hold the line the FTC drew in its 2025 DoNotPay order. The rights assistant ships labeled as attorney-reviewed information, and the jurisdiction-aware layer that answers “what are my rights right here” is in build. MyGuardian™ Inc. is not a law firm and no attorney-client relationship is created by using it.

The premium attorney hotline will connect you to independent attorneys. They are not employed by, and not vetted by, MyGuardian™.

A camera in your hand protects officers too

Nearly all encounters are calm and professional, and evidence is how that shows. The bridge programs we run with law enforcement, their organizations and their leaders start from exactly that premise: everyone is safer when tamper-evident evidence is easy to find.

For everyone, on every side

The product protects everyone’s rights. We are pro-transparency and pro-officer at the same time, and we keep advocacy in a separate entity, the Goldbridge Institute, so MyGuardian™ stays welcome everywhere.

Steady when it matters

When a high-profile incident happens, we offer facts and rights education. That is the whole of it. The people in the story keep their dignity, and protecting it matters more to us than any coverage we might get.

Your rights, your record, yours alone.
