# What the Brilliant Labs Halo (and Frame) knows about you

Made by Brilliant Labs. 11 findings on record, 11 verified against primary sources. Every line is checked; a maker's claim is labeled as a claim, and we say so when nothing is on record.

## On-device processing

Speech, image, and sensor data is processed on-device by default. When complex tasks require the cloud, data is de-identified, encrypted in transit, and deleted after processing. Raw footage is never stored.

## Capture indicator
