How we use your recordings

This is the plain-language version of what you agree to when you submit a clip. The formal detail is in the privacy notice.

1. 1. You record, nothing is sent

   The camera runs in your browser. Hand and body positions are extracted on your device. Nothing leaves your computer until you press submit — if you close the tab, the recording is gone.

2. 2. A human reviews it

   A reviewer checks the clip actually shows the sign you labelled. Accidental recordings, wrong labels and unusable takes are rejected and deleted.

3. 3. It becomes a public example

   Approved clips appear on that sign's dictionary page so learners can see the sign performed by different people. Your face is visible — sign languages use facial expression as grammar, so clips cannot be anonymised without destroying them.

4. 4. It trains the model and joins the open dataset

   The landmark data trains sign recognition, and approved clips are published in an openly licensed dataset so other researchers and Deaf-serving organizations can build on it rather than starting over.

5. 5. You can change your mind

   Email support@softbrane.com and we will remove your recordings. Copies already downloaded from an earlier dataset release cannot be recalled — please only submit clips you are comfortable being public and permanent.
