Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 29, 2025

🔒 StraightUp processes your camera feed entirely on your device. No video, image, or personal data is ever uploaded, stored, or shared — with anyone, anywhere.

What we collect

StraightUp collects nothing. There are no servers, no analytics, no accounts, and no telemetry of any kind.

Camera access

StraightUp requests access to your webcam solely to analyse your sitting posture in real time. This is how it works:

The camera feed is processed locally using Google's MediaPipe Face Landmarker model, which runs entirely inside your browser.
Posture scores and landmark data are computed in memory and immediately discarded after each frame.
No images, video frames, or biometric data are written to disk or transmitted over the network.

Local storage

StraightUp stores only the following data in your browser's local extension storage, which never leaves your device:

Your most recent posture score and status (used to show a live badge in the extension popup)
Reminder timer settings you configure (interval durations for water, eye break, and stretch reminders)

You can clear this data at any time by removing the extension.

Network requests

On first use, StraightUp downloads the MediaPipe face landmark model file (~5 MB) from storage.googleapis.com. This is a one-time download of a public AI model file. No personal data is sent as part of this request.

Permissions explained

Camera — required to detect your posture.
Notifications — used to send posture nudge alerts when you have been slouching for an extended period.
Storage — used to save your timer settings and last posture score locally.
Alarms — used to schedule periodic wellness reminders (water, eye break, stretch).

Third-party services

StraightUp does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The MediaPipe library used for face landmark detection is bundled locally within the extension.

Children's privacy

StraightUp is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
