Safety & Privacy

Our position

Security without privacy is surveillance. Privacy without security is fragility. Artemisa exists to resolve that tension. From the beginning, the system is designed around a single non‑negotiable principle: the user remains in control of their data at all times. We do not treat privacy as a feature. We treat it as a structural constraint.

Data minimization by design

Artemisa does not store images or video streams.

All visual input from cameras is processed locally or transiently and immediately transformed into textual descriptions. These descriptions represent what is happening, not what was recorded.
This approach:

• Eliminates the accumulation of sensitive visual data

• Reduces the attack surface for breaches

• Prevents secondary uses of raw footage

No faces, no interiors, no raw recordings are retained.

Only the minimum information required for reasoning and alerts exists.

User‑controlled infrastructure

Artemisa operates on user‑owned or user‑designated cloud environments.

This means:

• Data is not pooled into a central proprietary database

• Data is not shared across users

• Data is not used to train external or generalized models

Encryption is applied both at rest and in transit.

If the user disables the system, data processing stops. If the user deletes their data, it is removed permanently.

There are no dark patterns. There is no hidden retention.

No secondary exploitation

Artemisa does not:

• Sell user data

• Share user data with third parties

• Use user data for advertising or profiling

• Retain data for purposes unrelated to security

The system exists for one function only: protecting the home and the people inside it.

Nothing else.

Ethical boundary

Artemisa is built for homes.

It is not designed for:

• Mass surveillance

• Public monitoring without consent

• Behavioral scoring or social control

If a use case compromises individual autonomy or privacy, it is rejected.

Our commitment

Trust is not requested. It is engineered.

Every architectural decision in Artemisa exists to reduce risk, not shift it.

Security should make people feel safe, not watched.

That is the line we do not cross.
