Nothing to leak,
because nothing leaves.
Most tools that “keep you on camera” with cloud AI send your face to a server to be processed. AwayCam can’t — and that isn’t a policy you have to trust, it’s how the app is built.
100% on-device
Every loop is recorded, stored, and played back on this Mac. Nothing is uploaded — ever.
No AI face data
AwayCam replays the clip you recorded. It never analyzes, morphs, or builds a model of your face.
Nothing leaves your Mac
Your camera, audio, and loops are never transmitted. No accounts, no analytics, no telemetry — the only network use is checking for AwayCam’s own signed updates.
Only your own camera
You record yourself; AwayCam loops that. It’s not a deepfake or face-swap tool.
A list of dogs that don’t bark.
Most privacy pages list what a product does. Here’s what AwayCam can’t do — each backed by code or its absence, not policy.
-
Your face as data
No face-recognition models bundled or loaded.
-
Your voice or words
The mic is sampled only for level meter; audio is never recorded.
-
Who you are
No accounts, no sign-in, no identifier — there’s nothing to track you with.
-
Your camera, audio, or loops leaving your Mac
Never transmitted. AwayCam’s only network use is checking for its own code-signed updates — no camera, audio, loop, or usage data is ever sent.
-
Other apps’ data
Sandboxed. AwayCam can only see its own container.
-
Crashes, analytics, telemetry
No telemetry SDK. No crash reporter. No “anonymous diagnostics.”
This isn’t a policy — it’s the build. The list above is the absence of code, not the addition of a promise.
Don’t take our word for it.
AwayCam ships sandboxed. Its only network use is checking for its own code-signed updates — so point a network monitor (Little Snitch, a proxy) at it and you’ll see it never reaches anything but awaycam.app, and never sends your camera, audio, or loops. Verifiable, not just promised.
The same audit appears right inside the app, in Settings ▸ Privacy — where you can also export a Privacy Receipt: a plain-text, verifiable snapshot of these facts to hand to a skeptical teammate or IT department.

AwayCam is for camera fatigue, quick breaks, and presence continuity — used with your own camera feed. And Pro’s Speaking safeguard warns you if you talk while Away, so a loop is never mistaken for live attention.
