Be transparent
Make it clear when you are recording if the situation could affect someone else. Avoid surprising people with camera-enabled wearable capture.
Responsible use
Capture with respect.
8ight Pro is camera-enabled wearable hardware. It should be used openly, safely, and with care for the people and places around you.
Our position
Intentional point-of-view capture should be open, safe, and respectful of the people around it.
Brand position
Made for intentional POV capture, not secret recording.
Wearable cameras can be powerful, useful, and sensitive. 8ight is designed for deliberate storytelling, documentation, and hands-free capture. The right use depends on context, consent, safety, and local law.
Principles
Simple rules for using wearable capture well.
Respect private spaces
Do not record in private, restricted, intimate, or sensitive spaces unless recording is clearly allowed and everyone involved is comfortable.
Follow local laws
Recording, audio capture, consent, privacy, and venue rules vary by location. Users are responsible for understanding the rules where they use 8ight.
Put safety first
Do not let capture distract you while driving, cycling, training, working, or moving through public spaces. The moment matters more than the clip.
Use extra care around children
Be thoughtful before recording or sharing footage that includes children, family settings, schools, or other sensitive environments.
Share responsibly
Before publishing, check whether footage includes bystanders, addresses, license plates, private information, or moments that should stay private.
Context matters
Different spaces create different expectations.
Public does not always mean appropriate. Private spaces, workplaces, schools, medical settings, security areas, and ticketed venues may have rules or expectations that limit recording.
Context 01
Public places
Public capture still needs judgment. Consider bystanders, audio, event rules, and whether recording changes the social context.
When the rules or expectations are unclear, ask before recording.
Context 02
Workplaces and schools
Follow employer, school, venue, and local policies. When rules are unclear, ask first.

Context 03
Homes and private settings
Ask clearly before recording. Be especially careful with guests, children, conversations, and private routines.
When the rules or expectations are unclear, ask before recording.
Context 04
Livestreaming
Real-time sharing raises the standard for consent and judgment because there is less opportunity to review before others see it.
