It says this 3 times without elaborating. How does this work?

I'd really love to share more but our competitors will try to imitate it and I want to build as large of a lead as I can before we unveil it.

I'll just say: it is fundamental to the product experience, not a bolt on.

Without speaking too much to the underlying implementation, could you at least:

Clarify if "fundamental to the product experience" and "ensure no one is recorded without their consent" means the control loop is able to sense a non-consenting speaker and stop recording?

Clarify if "recorded without their consent" means never sending recordings off-device? Or does it just mean omitting the record from user facing long-term storage?

Clarify whether consent is opt-in or opt-out?

Clarify whether consent is actually consent, or the effective equivalent of supplying the user a "resume recording" button?

FWIW, I’m an existing customer (of the app) and this has significantly damaged my perception of Rewind as a company. You should stop talking about it until you have a credible answer to this question.

Thanks for the feedback! Do you think this qualifies as a credible answer? If not, what more can we offer to rebuild your trust in us?
