We've taken a privacy-first approach here. All data is only ever stored on the device, owned by the user, inaccessible to us. It's only ever transcribing when a user asks it to and only stored if the user asks it to be. We don't censor anything. We are soon to release purely on-device transcription, but the quality of this is still not as good as the cloud providers offer. The app itself is what powers the glasses, they are just output devices.
I hadn't thought that you would be, but I don't know anyone who hasn't had at least one service they used change their terms for the worse over time, especially once it becomes successful or ownership/management changes. Better to safeguard against such problems before they are problems than come to depend on a device like this only to find yourself stuck when the rug gets pulled out from under you.

This is really great! It's so important that people don't have to worry that things said between them and a lover, or a doctor, or a client, or a therapist is going to end up exposed to anyone else.
If you really want this device to be able to help people without opening them up to exploitation, please try to develop it to be as open as possible. Making it easy for developers to use it with whatever other hardware they like (a PC vs a cell phone), or even allowing them to extend it by adding new or customized functionality would be ideal and could help people in ways you hadn't even considered.
This is a cool product and a great use of the technology, and I'd love to be able to recommend it without reservation.
We are soon releasing versions for iOS, Mac and Windows. We are also hoping to release an extensibility model to allow others to build skins / modules. The glasses will only work properly on Android though.
