1. Executive Summary
Clawglasses WG1 is designed with privacy as a foundational principle. This whitepaper outlines our comprehensive approach to data protection, user privacy, and security architecture.
- •Key Principles:
- •Privacy by Design: Privacy considerations are integrated into every stage of product development
- •Data Minimization: We collect only data necessary for functionality
- •User Control: Users have complete control over their data and how it's shared
- •Transparency: Clear communication about data practices
- •Security First: Industry-leading encryption and security measures
Our commitment: Your data belongs to you. We build tools that empower you, not exploit you.
2. Data Categories & Collection
Clawglasses WG1 processes several categories of data, each with specific handling protocols:
- •2.1 Audio Data
- •Voice commands and queries (processed locally when possible)
- •Ambient audio for translation features (real-time, not stored by default)
- •Meeting recordings (stored locally, cloud backup opt-in)
- •2.2 Visual Data
- •Photos and videos (stored locally on device)
- •Object recognition snapshots (processed and discarded)
- •Spatial mapping data (opt-in for DePIN contribution)
- •2.3 Device Data
- •Battery status, connectivity, usage patterns
- •Error logs and diagnostics (anonymized)
- •Firmware version and update status
- •2.4 Account Data
- •Email address (required for account)
- •Wallet address (optional, for token rewards)
- •Preferences and settings
- •What We DON'T Collect:
- ✗Continuous audio recording
- ✗Location data without explicit consent
- ✗Biometric data for identification
- ✗Contacts or personal information from your phone
3. Data Processing Architecture
Our hybrid processing model prioritizes on-device computation while enabling powerful cloud features when explicitly enabled by users.
- •3.1 On-Device Processing (Default)
- •All of the following happen entirely on the WG1 device:
- •Voice activity detection (VAD)
- •Wake word recognition ("Hey Clawglasses")
- •Basic transcription (English, offline model)
- •Photo/video capture and storage
- •Audio recording and playback
- •3.2 Edge Processing (Phone App)
- •When connected to the World App:
- •Advanced language processing
- •Media sync and backup (encrypted)
- •Settings synchronization
- •Firmware updates
- •3.3 Cloud Processing (Opt-In Only)
- •Users can enable cloud features for enhanced functionality:
- •Multi-language real-time translation (40+ languages)
- •Advanced AI queries (GPT-4 tier responses)
- •Digital Twin training (personalized AI assistant)
- •DePIN data contribution (earn $WORLD tokens)

Local Storage Encrypted Backup Processed & Deleted
(User Control) (User Control) (No Long-term Storage)4. Encryption & Security
Clawglasses employs multiple layers of encryption to protect user data at rest and in transit.
- •4.1 Data at Rest

- •Database: TLS 1.3 for transport, AES-256 for storage
- •4.2 Data in Transit
- •All API communications: TLS 1.3 minimum
- •Real-time streaming: DTLS for low-latency secure communication
- •Bluetooth: LE Secure Connections (FIPS-validated)
- •WiFi transfer: WPA3 preferred, WPA2 minimum
- •4.3 Key Management
- •Device keys generated during initial setup
- •Keys stored in secure enclave (hardware-backed)
- •User backup keys for account recovery
- •No master keys held by Clawglasses
- •4.4 Authentication
- •Biometric authentication via connected phone
