Presence compliance by region
This page summarizes common expectations for mmWave presence sensing in residential and light‑commercial deployments. It is not legal advice — when in doubt, consult local counsel.

US highlights
Summaries are intentionally high‑level. We’ll expand coverage as regulations evolve.
California

Residential notice
Notice is strongly recommended anywhere a guest could be present. Avoid installations in private guest bedrooms without clear disclosure.
Commercial / clinical
Signage is required for clinics, rentals, and offices. If a space is monitored for safety or automation, make it explicit.
Spatial recording
Our default mode does not capture audio/video. If you enable spatial visualization storage, keep it local or obtain explicit consent.

Residential notice
Household installs are generally permitted with reasonable notice to occupants and guests.
Commercial / clinical
Post signage at entrances and include presence monitoring in your privacy policy for shared buildings.

Residential notice
Residential installs are permitted; disclose to household members and caretakers.
Commercial / clinical
Signage recommended for rentals and workplaces. Obtain written consent for sensitive environments.

Florida

Residential notice
Inform occupants if sensors are installed in bedrooms, nurseries, or assisted‑living suites.
Commercial / clinical
Use clear signage and maintain a public policy describing monitoring purpose and retention.
Spatial recording
Only retain what you need for automation. Use anonymized heatmaps rather than raw traces.
Deployment checklist
- •Place sensors only where monitoring is appropriate and expected.
- •Disclose presence sensing to household members, guests, staff, or patients.
- •Use occupancy‑only mode for shared/public spaces whenever possible.
- •If storing spatial visualizations, keep retention short and honor deletion requests.
- •Never pair presence data with identifying audio/video without explicit consent.
