PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Protection without turning your life into a recording.
ENAWA is designed to understand safety risks while minimizing how much personal information has to leave your devices — or be kept at all.
OUR PRIVACY PROMISE
ENAWA doesn’t need a permanent memory of your life to help protect it.
Most everyday audio is processed locally. Without meaningful risk, temporary processing data is discarded. Potential risk escalates only necessary event context. Retention follows safety settings and published policy.
FOLLOW THE DATA
What happens during an ordinary moment?
Everyday audio passes through on-device processing, local transcript and risk signals, and local risk screening. No meaningful risk means temporary information is designed to be automatically discarded.
When something looks unsafe.
Routine audio is processed locally first. When a potential risk needs higher-confidence verification, minimum necessary context may include structured risk signals, relevant transcript context and, where necessary, a short encrypted segment of recent event audio.
Temporary processing data
Only when needed
ENAWA cares about the moment — not your entire day.
A limited recent context window helps ENAWA understand what was said immediately before a suspicious request, without creating an unnecessary all-day recording archive.
Minimize
Process only what is needed for supported safety functions.
Localize
Keep routine inference on the device whenever practical.
Shorten
Keep temporary audio and intermediate data only as long as necessary.
Escalate selectively
Use cloud intelligence for potentially unsafe events rather than everyday life.
CLEAR, LIMITED AND PURPOSEFUL
What gets stored?
Data retention follows the safety function, your settings, and the Privacy Policy.
- Routine raw audio
- Temporary local processing; automatically discarded by default.
- Routine local transcript
- Temporary unless required for an enabled feature.
- Risk event context
- Retained only as needed for safety processing and configured history.
- Cloud event audio
- Only when required for verification; limited to the relevant event scope and policy.
- Safety result
- May appear in History.
- SOS event
- Stored as needed to support the configured safety action.
- Device diagnostics
- Minimal operational data.
- Account information
- Stored to operate the account.
HISTORY WITH PURPOSE
Remember the safety event. Not every conversation around it.
Meaningful risk outcomes can help you understand an important moment without keeping every conversation that surrounded it.
Important moments. Clear outcomes.

Privacy decisions belong in the architecture.
Encrypted communication, protected local storage, secure backend authentication, short-lived credentials, and restricted event access are part of the privacy architecture.
Training policy
Private raw personal audio is not used by default to train general-purpose AI models.
Any voluntary research or product-improvement program requires clear disclosure and explicit user choice.
Read the Privacy PolicyPHYSICAL TRANSPARENCY
You should know when ENAWA is active.
ENAWA hardware is designed to provide visible device-state feedback rather than hide its operating state from the person carrying it.
FAMILY SAFETY
Share safety. Keep conversations private.
Shared by configuration
- Safety events
- SOS notifications
- Trusted-contact actions
- User-selected context
Not shared by default
- Continuous live audio
- Every transcript
- All-day conversations
- Unrestricted remote listening
TRUST IS EARNED
Safety AI should earn trust, not demand it.
ENAWA is not a hidden recorder, a permanent archive, or an advertising profile of your private life. It is not a replacement for emergency services.
