# What the Starship Bot knows about you

Made by Starship Technologies. 6 findings on record, 6 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.

## Bystander recording

Starship robots use 12 cameras and multiple sensors to navigate sidewalks autonomously, capturing images of pedestrians; the company states it does not need or wish to proactively identify individuals, uses fixed cameras showing only knee-level and below, and applies obfuscation techniques to minimize incidental recording of identifiable people.

## Cloud upload

Starship robots record images and video footage onto the robot's hard drive; selected sections of the recording may be uploaded to Starship servers for mapping, software testing, incident analysis, and safety improvement, with all data stored within the EU.
