Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 23, 2026 · Last updated: February 23, 2026

1. Introduction

Special Glasses LLC ("Special Glasses," "we," "us," or "our") builds apps that help people see the world differently. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over your data.

This policy covers all products and services operated by Special Glasses, including:

We may introduce additional products in the future, each of which will have its own detailed privacy disclosures before launch.

By using our products, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our products or services.

2. What They See — Data Practices

What They See is designed with privacy at its core. The app simulates vision conditions (such as color blindness, low vision, and dyslexia) using real-time camera filters. Here is exactly what happens with your data:

2.1 Camera and On-Device Processing

2.2 Purchase Information

What They See offers one-time in-app purchases processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not have access to your payment information (credit card number, billing address, etc.). We use RevenueCat, a third-party service, to manage purchase status. RevenueCat receives:

RevenueCat stores this data on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States. For details, see RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

2.3 Analytics and Crash Reporting

We use Google Firebase to understand how the app is used and to fix bugs:

You can opt out of analytics data collection by disabling analytics in your device settings. Crashlytics data collection is essential for app stability and cannot be individually disabled, but it does not collect personal content or identify you by name or email.

2.4 Data We Do Not Collect

What They See does not collect:

3. Website — specialglasses.net

4. Legal Bases for Processing

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions that require a legal basis for processing personal data, we rely on the following:

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services. Each is bound by their own privacy policies and data processing agreements:

We require that all third-party service providers handle your data with the same or greater level of protection described in this policy.

6. Data Retention

7. International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers (RevenueCat, Google Firebase) process data in the United States. If you are located outside the United States, your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

For transfers from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on:

For transfers from Brazil, we comply with LGPD requirements for international data transfers, including the use of standard contractual clauses approved by the Brazilian Data Protection Authority (ANPD).

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the data processed through our services. Our primary security measure is minimizing data collection in the first place: What They See processes all sensitive data (camera, photos, video) entirely on your device.

For data handled by our third-party providers, we rely on their security practices, which include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security audits. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

What They See may be used by or on behalf of children to demonstrate vision conditions. We take children's privacy seriously.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at spatial@specialglasses.net so we can take appropriate action.

10. Your Rights Under GDPR (EEA & UK)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR:

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at spatial@specialglasses.net. We will respond within 30 days.

Because What They See collects very limited data and does not require accounts, in most cases there is no personal data for us to provide, correct, or delete. If you have made a purchase, we can request deletion of your RevenueCat data on your behalf.

11. Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA (California)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information:

Categories of personal information collected in the past 12 months:

We do not sell personal information. We have not sold personal information in the preceding 12 months and do not intend to do so.

We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those allowed under CCPA/CPRA.

To exercise your rights, contact us at spatial@specialglasses.net. We will verify your identity and respond within 45 days.

12. Your Rights Under LGPD (Brazil)

If you are located in Brazil, the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) grants you the following rights:

To exercise these rights, contact us at spatial@specialglasses.net.

13. Other Jurisdictions

We respect privacy rights globally. If you are located in a jurisdiction with privacy laws not specifically addressed above (including but not limited to Canada's PIPEDA, Australia's Privacy Act, Japan's APPI, South Korea's PIPA, or US state privacy laws in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, and others), you may have similar rights to access, correct, and delete your personal data.

Regardless of where you are located, you can contact us at spatial@specialglasses.net to exercise your privacy rights, and we will respond in accordance with applicable law.

14. Do Not Track & Opt-Out Preference Signals

Our website does not use cookies or client-side tracking, so there is no tracking behavior to modify in response to Do Not Track (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. We honor opt-out preference signals where required by law.

In the What They See app, you can limit analytics data collection through your iOS device settings (Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements).

15. Automated Decision-Making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects on you. The on-device AI processing in What They See (dyslexia simulation via Apple Foundation Models) runs entirely on your device, is not used for decision-making about you, and produces no data that is transmitted to us.

16. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time, particularly as we launch new products. When we make changes, we will:

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our products after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

17. Contact Us

If you have questions about this privacy policy, want to exercise your privacy rights, or have a complaint about how we handle your data, contact us:

We aim to respond to all privacy-related inquiries within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
