Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 18, 2026 · Operated by Moonshot OS (“Squawk”, “we”)

1. What we collect

From your Ring account, with your consent:

Still image frames from the cameras you select
Motion and device event notifications (time, event type, device)
Device names and identifiers
Device configuration state (whether motion detection is on, and the shape of motion and privacy zones)
Your Ring account identifier

From you:

Your email address
The names you give your birds
Zones you draw; photos you upload; labels you apply to your own images
Settings such as your coop’s approximate location, used to calculate sunrise and sunset

Automatically: service logs (request times, error states), delivery records for messages we send, and job health records.

We do not collect audio. We do not access live video except momentarily to capture a still frame. We do not collect precise location from Ring.

2. How each item is used

3. Artificial intelligence

Squawk uses an AI vision model to describe what is visible in a captured frame — for example, whether a door appears open or closed and whether a bird is visible. Two commitments:

We do not use your Ring data to train any AI model. Not ours, not a third party’s.
Where you label your own photos inside your account, those labels may be used as context to improve accuracy for your account only, and are not used to train shared models.

If we ever propose to change this, we will tell you in advance, ask for opt-in consent, and, for Ring-sourced data, resubmit the change through Ring’s certification process before it takes effect. See also AI capability changes.

4. How long we keep things

5. Who else touches your data

We use service providers to run Squawk. They process data on our instructions only:

Cloud hosting and database providers (application hosting, storage of records and images)
An AI model provider (processing individual frames to produce descriptions; not used for training)
A message delivery provider (sending your reports and alerts)
A weather data provider (forecast for your approximate location)
Ring/Amazon, as the source of camera data under your Ring account permissions

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not share your images with other users.

6. Your choices and rights

Access and export: request a copy of your data by email or in-app.
Deletion: delete your data at any time from the app, or by request. We complete permanent deletion within 30 days.
Unlinking Ring: removing Squawk from your Ring account stops all camera access immediately and deletes Ring-derived images and events; records you created (names, your uploads) remain unless you delete your account.
Opt-outs: you can turn off individual features, including any optional analysis feature, in settings. Turning off a feature stops that feature only; the rest of Squawk continues to work.
California, and other states with privacy laws: you may exercise access, deletion, and correction rights described above; we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by applicable law.

7. When a person may look at your images

Squawk’s reports are produced automatically. A member of our team may view an image only when you send it to us as part of a support request, or where we are legally required to. We do not routinely review customer images. If we ever need broader access to investigate a service fault, we will ask you first.

8. Your own controls

Every image Squawk holds for your account is visible to you in the app, with the time it was taken and why it was captured. You can delete any image, and you can delete all of them.

9. Changes to AI features

When we change what Squawk’s automated analysis does — new detections, materially different accuracy, new categories of insight — we describe the change in release notes before or at release, and for Ring-connected features we submit the change through Ring’s certification process.

10. Children

Squawk is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

11. Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Credentials and tokens are stored encrypted at rest. Access to production systems is limited to people who need it.
