Privacy Policy
Effective Date: March 2, 2026
Accessibilify (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is operated by Next Door Multimedia LLC. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website at accessibilify.org, our iOS mobile application, and our AI-powered compliance walkthrough platform (collectively, the “Service”). This policy applies to all users of the Service, whether accessing it via the web or our mobile app.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and organization details. Authentication is managed by Clerk, Inc., a third-party identity provider. We store a reference to your Clerk account alongside your profile information in our database.
1.2 Onboarding Data
During onboarding, we collect your organization type (individual or agency), audit type (e.g., foster home, OSHA, ADA, fire code), and organization name. This information is used to configure your audit experience and tailor compliance standards to your needs.
1.3 Location & Property Information
To perform compliance walkthroughs, you provide us with your property address, home details (number of bedrooms, bathrooms), and safety feature information (e.g., whether you have a pool, firearms, pets, or care for infants/toddlers). You may also upload floor plans of your property.
1.4 Video & Image Data
Our Service enables you to record video walkthroughs of your property using a smartphone camera or AI-enabled smart glasses (such as Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses). These video files are uploaded to our servers for automated analysis. Videos may contain images of the interior and exterior of your property, personal belongings, and other visual information captured during the walkthrough.
1.5 Audio Data
When you use the voice-guided walkthrough feature or voice commands within the mobile app, audio is recorded via your device’s microphone. Audio recordings are used to facilitate the walkthrough experience. Text prompts may be sent to a third-party text-to-speech service (ElevenLabs) to generate spoken guidance — only the text prompt is sent, not your audio recordings or any personal data.
1.6 Device & Glasses Connection Data
If you use Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses with the mobile app, the Meta Wearables DAT SDK communicates with Meta’s services for device registration and pairing. This connection data is used solely to enable hands-free video capture and is processed according to Meta’s Privacy Policy.
1.7 App Preferences (Mobile)
The mobile app stores certain preferences locally on your device, including onboarding completion status and API configuration. This data is stored in the device’s local storage (UserDefaults on iOS) and is not transmitted to our servers.
1.8 AI Analysis Data
We process your video recordings using artificial intelligence technologies, including object detection models (YOLO) and vision language models (LLMs), to identify compliance-relevant items such as smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, outlet covers, window guards, and other safety features. The results of this analysis — including compliance findings, scores, and recommendations — are stored in our database and associated with your account.
1.9 Usage Data
We automatically collect certain information when you access the Service, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and timestamps. We use Vercel Analytics for privacy-friendly, anonymized website analytics.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Service across web and mobile platforms
- Process your video and audio walkthroughs and generate compliance reports
- Identify safety features, hazards, and compliance gaps in your property
- Deliver actionable recommendations with citations to applicable standards
- Configure your audit experience based on your organization type and audit type
- Enable hands-free capture via smart glasses integration
- Provide voice-guided walkthrough prompts
- Communicate with you about your account, reports, and Service updates
- Improve our AI models and the accuracy of our compliance analysis
- Detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security threats
- Comply with legal obligations
3. Video & Audio Data Processing
Your video recordings are uploaded directly to Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 storage using secure, time-limited presigned URLs. Videos are processed by our automated analysis pipeline, which runs on AWS Lambda. After processing is complete, video files are retained for a reasonable period to allow you to review your reports and re-run analyses. You may request deletion of your video data at any time by contacting us.
Audio recordings captured during voice-guided walkthroughs are processed similarly. Text-to-speech requests sent to ElevenLabs contain only the spoken prompt text and no personal information.
We do not sell, share, or provide your video or audio recordings to any third party except as necessary to operate the Service (e.g., AWS for storage and processing).
4. AI & Automated Decision-Making
Our Service uses AI to analyze video footage and identify compliance-relevant items. This analysis is automated and produces findings categorized as compliant, non-compliant, or needs review. These findings are informational only and do not constitute legal advice, a professional inspection, or an official compliance determination. You should always consult qualified professionals and your local licensing authority for definitive compliance assessments.
5. Third-Party Services & SDKs
We use the following third-party services and SDKs to operate the platform:
- Clerk, Inc. — Authentication and user management. Privacy Policy

We do not share your personal data with any third parties beyond those listed above, except as described in Section 6.

- Secure, time-limited presigned URLs for video uploads to AWS S3

No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Video recordings and analysis results are retained for a reasonable period to support your use of the Service. You may request deletion of your data at any time. Upon account deletion, we will remove your personal information, video data, and audio data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will promptly delete it. The Service is designed for use by adults, including homeowners, foster parents, facility managers, and compliance professionals.
11. Cookies & Tracking
