Unless you have opted-in and paid for the program personally, the Pro doesn't come to the house with a camera. Opt in is not one time, it has to be affirmed before each booking. By default there is no camera involved, and when there is, it's impossible to miss. The pilot reaches 0.1% of customers and we spent months to ensure full DPDP compliance. And we are not the only company in the space doing this.

If you are working / worked on the dataset creation of training layer for physical AI, your justification is the fact that a 1000 INR visit has the right or the medium to actually record data for training ? Blurring and everything else is post facto. At that instant - the house gets recorded. The rooms, the people, their state of living, their privacy. Seems like the concept of privacy and building training data for physical AI has been given a new complete direction. We all want a good ecosystem of model training but to ascertain the statements that you made is short of the simple fact - You don’t train on home data unless it is completely on edge / managed and obscured at edge. Am quite sure that the edge deployment models are not doing anything of that sort. If yes - is that addressable through request for Information act if it applies upon Pronto. This if in fact if at all - has to be thought of as a training data - the only way is federated and keeping privacy utmost. Blurring of face / footage deleted - from the bare metal as non recoverable? Is that mentioned as a disclaimer ? And while the AI wing of Pronto really thinks so - they should first record and prove amongst their own houses of their own shareholders / employees and founders - “ if you trust your tech that much, build it on your courtyard, then ask for someone else’s porch” Do the work and show us that the data is indeed getting blurred and the first dataset even in 500s - has some aspect of applied embodied intelligence. Else - the data once collected will be a prime zone for another startup that either buys the data or the company as whole to just get the data. India for decades have not thought of privacy. Not because it meant differently but because the realization of your own data is used to make others’ benefits. Now that everyone is getting to understand - your last line is just fading in the vague mindset you brought upon - “And we are not the only company in the space doing this.” You are talking about embodied intelligence , physical AI - why are you not publishing one dataset that you have done with the houses and recordings from your perspective ? And also - where is it getting blurred ? At edge ? If yes how is it immutable ? How are you making it sure ?

This is a serious privacy issue if true. Consent has to be very explicit ideally
