Alpha tests

[Why: to make Sense faster and more accurate during the alpha.]

[Which tests: for example analysis time, memory use, how long which clips take.]

[What happens with your clips: do they stay on your Mac, what is measured, what is sent; does anyone watch your footage.]

[When and how: when the tests run, how busy they keep your Mac, how to stop them.]

[Keeping and deleting: how long the measurements are kept, how to have them deleted.]

[You can withdraw your consent at any time: [email protected]]

Read to the end to agree.

Questions

Which Macs?

Apple Silicon (M-series) Macs with macOS 12 Monterey or later.

Does it need the internet?

Only for a few things: once to activate your license or start the trial, once to download the Sense models, and to check for updates if you allow it. Your videos, your catalog and your location data never leave your Mac.

Which cameras?

iPhone, Android, GoPro, DJI, Insta360, Sony, Canon and more.

Does it remember what I culled?

Yes. Recall tells you whether a clip was delivered before and what you decided.
