Store Guard – Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 13, 2026

Store Guard is a private tool used only by the owner of this shop to monitor the shop's own Google Nest camera. It is not offered to the public.

What it accesses

With the owner's permission, Store Guard uses Google's Smart Device Management API to receive camera events (person and motion detection) and the live audio/video stream from the owner's own Nest camera.

How the data is used

The data is used only to send arrival alerts and conversation transcripts to the shop owner's private Telegram chat. Audio is converted to text using OpenAI's speech-to-text service.

Storage and sharing

Recordings, transcripts and summaries are stored on the owner's private server. They are not sold, and they are not shared with anyone except the services named above, which are needed to run the tool.

Notice to customers

A notice in the shop informs customers that audio and video recording is in progress.

Google user data

Store Guard's use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
