Privacy by construction, not by policy
Why processing on the edge — in the home, never the cloud — is a stronger privacy guarantee than any privacy policy, and what it means for personvern and GDPR.
Privacy by construction, not by policy
There are two ways to promise privacy. One is to write it down — a policy, a setting, a retention schedule. The other is to build a system where the sensitive data simply doesn't exist. Stillsense is the second kind.
The most sensitive data never exists
Stillsense creates no image and no audio. What exists is an interpretation of movement, computed on a device in the home and kept there. Because Stillsense never forms a picture, there is no picture to leak, subpoena, or misconfigure. The strongest way to protect data is for it never to be created.
On the edge, in the home
Inference happens on-device, at the edge — not in the cloud. The raw signal never leaves the room. For the operational data that does exist, we apply current security practice: encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege access, and secure updates for edge devices.
Built for the rules that matter
For Norwegian care, that design maps cleanly onto the requirements municipalities work to. Stillsense is built privacy-by-design with a DPIA-ready foundation (personvernkonsekvensvurdering), designed for the public-task lawful basis municipalities rely on (GDPR Art. 6(1)(e), and Art. 9(2) for health data) rather than fragile consent.
It also makes a hard conversation easy: the honest answer to "who can see into the room?" is no one, ever — because seeing isn't how it works.
