The Vastmindz website does not generally capture or store any personal information about individuals who access it, except where they voluntarily choose to give us personal details by email or by using an electronic form to register, request a demo, use online chat, or to enquire about our services.  Our SDK extracts a pixelated video feed which contains no Personal Identified Information, which is then processed and health vital data is returned to the customers application.
